For healing, I follow Jesus

Very few, I've found personally, including even pastors, understand very much about healing. This despite having Jesus Himself, as a role model, showing how He healed. 

For many, at one time myself as well, my eyes were dull of reading. Rather than follow His example, even many pastors follow their own natural understandings and apply them to God. This despite purporting to believe God does not change His mind hither and yon.

First of all, God is not going to heal us. Why? Why because He already healed us when He sent His only begotten Son to be the final sacrifice on the Cross. Jesus died and suffered stripes. It is this act right then that healed us, by His stripes! Now is the time then to accept and praise for it. Not healed immediately?

Bedrock of Belief is Persistence!

Then, if not healed immediately, then I keep on praying until I do. I keep on believing. I keep on as if I were already healed, despite any feelings or fears. (Fears are the signal of footsteps in the sand leading to a lack of faith.) Faith is the belief in things that are not as if they were. This is a lie to the world, but for me it is expressing faith in what I want to experience. This is the workings of the Holy Spirit as I believe within me. It could be even for some the spirit of unbelief within. Or I guess it is simply that the Christian looks ahead and the world looks behind itself.

Jesus asked those who wanted to be healed, do you believe I can do this? Upon their answer yes, notice what He said, then be it done unto you according to my faith.  Is that not correct? 

A different view of the same thing.

No!

It is not correct! What did He then say? He said, Then be it done onto you according to your faith. The way I take that is it will be done according my faith in Jesus' faith. Instead, what story do I so often get from seminary trained ministers? My readings revealed that there are quite a few, up to 50%, professors who do not believe in God and are willing to admit a public unbelief in God. One wonders how many there are who will not admit it. That is my long standing understanding in any event and supports my experience right up to the current moment. 

There are many who believe in Jesus, but do not actually believe for a fact in His Power. You have to understand that the story is not true,  just the meaning of the story is true. Meaning is defined as a painted egg, a hidden painted egg yet. There is a reason for hidden decorated eggs, sort of like the reason for the quick erase in Xmas.
