"For we walk by faith, not by sight." 2 Corinthians 5:7 NKJV
There are several things we must do in order to receive. For example, when it's dark we put the light on so that we can see properly. We open the door to walk out or walk into our home. We put on clothes to be dressed and take them off to shower. This means that the shower must be turned on. Do you get the idea? It's basic stuff, we just take it for granted that this is all going to work. Therefore, it must be the same to act in faith.
We are called to walk by faith not, by what we see in the natural. This means, if God says we are healed, then we need to receive and accept this and live healed, (1 Peter 2:24). Furthermore, if God says He will supply our needs, (Matthew 6:33 & Philippians 4:19), then again, we must receive them. That is faith.
When we press the button on all of these things, we need to receive them; not just the everyday things like, lights and showers, but the things we can't see but, God is telling us that they are there, (2 Corinthians 4:18). We must press the button to receive and it will come, (Mark 11:24). The bible is faith-filled. We can't just read and accept the things we want to and ignore the rest. We need to accept and study the whole package.
In Mark 5, the woman who had the issue of blood and had lived this way for twelve years, said, 'If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well.' v28. Jairus who had a sick daughter, said to Jesus, 'Come and lay Your hands on her that she may be healed, and she will live' v23. Blind Bartimaeus replied to Jesus, when He asked, 'What do you want Me to do for you?' He replied, 'Rabboni, that I may receive my sight.' Jesus said to him, 'Go your way; your faith as made you well.'
These are facts, and they can't be explained away that, it was back in bible times, 'It's different now.' No it isn't, 'Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever.' (Hebrews 13:8). It is still the same today. Jesus Christ still heals and He still provides our needs. He never changes. However, there is a condition and that is, we must believe and receive, (Mark 11:24). Oral Roberts used to say, 'Believe and receive, doubt and do without.' Smith Wigglesworth said, 'If God said it, I believe it and that settles it.'
Just press that button and find out and then live this way from now on.
