"And fixing his eyes on him, with John, Peter said, 'Look at us.' So he gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them."  Acts 3:4 - 5 NKJV (Read the whole chapter)

Peter and John helped the disabled man to be pro-active. They determined that they had his attention and that he was expectant, and then they lifted him onto his feet. This act brought life to the man's legs and he went leaping and praising God. Wouldn't you, after a life time of not being able to walk?
This pro-activeness helped the man to receive and also realise that, giving God his attention and being expectant had brought him healing. Do you want healing? Or is there someone close to you who does? Are you willing to pay attention; be expectant, be pro-active and receive the healing you so want? Then 'In the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk - or be healed.' In other words 'Get up!'

I once met a lady at a healing crusade who was lying on a mattress. I spoke with her as she laid there and she told me that she had come because her family wanted her to get well. However, she didn't want healing as she would lose all of her DSS benefits. I couldn't believe what I was hearing but she was serious. Was she healed? No she wasn't, because she didn't want it. She wouldn't get up.

Some times, we can get so used to being ill and dependent on others that we can't envisage a life of good health. People may have been looking after us for so long that we've got used to it. ENOUGH! GET UP IN JESUS" NAME and receive the healing that Jesus wants to give you. "Yes, but not everyone is healed are they,' you may be saying. 'Jesus doesn't heal everyone, does He.'
Well my answer to that is two-fold, I can't understand when healing doesn't come to a person and I've seen that many times. However, I believe that when a person is prayed for - for healing - that something happens deep inside of them. I will never doubt Jesus. Is there something in your life preventing the healing power of Jesus. I say this, not to lay a trip on anyone, but just out of genuine concern, because the Word of God says we are healed by the stripes of Jesus 1 Peter 2:24. So is something blocking this? It may be in your interest to investigate this. 
Some people drink far too much drink, get splattered on drugs, commit adultery, watch pornography and then go to church on a Sunday and expect God to meet with them This cannot be. Sin is blocking the way. Firstly get rid of the sin and try again.

Finally, be willing for God to make some changes in your life. Nobody likes change, it takes us out of our comfort zone; but then, maybe that is needed. Also, get to know what God wants you to change, and then go ahead and do it. I promise you, make this sacrifice and you'll never look back.

Let me lead you in prayer:

'Lord Jesus, I've lived my life for myself- too long. It's time to make some changes. Firstly, I ask You to be my Lord and Saviour; forgive my sins and fill me with Your Holy Spirit. I give my life to You, today. Amen.'

Alternatively, 'Lord, I've been a Christian for sometime now but I've only learned the basics. I mean business with You now Lord and ask You to help me forge forward in Your Holy Spirit. Amen'
