Been reading this book, how to pray for healing by Che Ahn a pastor from america and when he starts sharing about faith the first point he makes is that faith is relational. Mark11:22 says 'Have faith in GOD'. How do we have this faith in GOD? By recognising the Father Heart of GOD and seeing that it is this relationship between a Father and child that GOD Wants to heal us just as our earthly fathers would always wish that we are well.
- Faith is Relational
- Faith is Revelational
- Faith is Risky
- Faith is Real
- Faith is Resolute
Revelational-there is a 'rhema' WORD from GOD, a word that imparts faith. Risky because sometimes outward steps must be taken(mark 10:46-52) As Blind Bartimaeus pursued JESUS for healing, the moment he heard JESUS calling him, he threw off his Cloak! A Cloak for a blind beggar is important because its their source of shelter and where they slept. By throwing off his cloak, Bartimaeus was saying 'i'm not going to need this anymore because JESUS is going to heal me!' So as we pray in Faith and say we believe, are we ready to throw off our 'cloaks' ?
