What Are We To Do When Healing Doesn’t Manifest?
You know God wants you healed, and you have taken all the steps you know from God’s Word to receive your healing. But for some reason, your circumstances just do not seem to be changing, and healing is not manifesting in your body. What do you do now? First, it is important to understand that God has not failed you. He cannot, because there is no failure in Him. It is never God who is short on healing power. Healing comes in some form. However, it is not always received. When, by faith, we trust on the power and the Word of God, the healing virtue of Jesus Christ will flow into a our body and make it whole. In John 5, the story is told about a man who had an infirmity for 38 years. This story, perhaps, gives us the best picture of the frustration that even today’s believers face when it comes to wanting to be healed, and yet, not being able to make it happen when we want it—and need it—the most. Imagine writing for 38 years for your healing? We read that day after day the invalid man lay by the pool of Bethesda hoping somehow to be the first person in the water after the angel stirred it, because if he was the first to make it in, he could be healed. But then along came our lord Jesus Christ. He asked the man, “Do you want to become well?” The invalid answered saying, “Sir, I have nobody when the water is moving to put me into the pool. Joh 5:3-9 (ESV) In these lay a multitude of invalids—blind, lame, and paralyzed. 5 One man was there who had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. 6 When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had already been there a long time, he said to him, “Do you want to be healed?” 7 The sick man answered him, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, and while I am going another steps down before me.” 8 Jesus said to him, “Get up, take up your bed, and walk.” 9 And at once the man was healed, and he took up his bed and walked. Now that day was the Sabbath.

KEY: The prayer of faith will move the Father to do what He otherwise would not do.
Don’t ask other people if a man can be supernaturally healed. That would be opinion getting concerning the Word of God. The answer about healing must come from the Word of God itself. Some say this about healing. “God can do anything He wants to do.” Well let’s see if that is true. God wants every believer to give his offering because everything belongs to God anyway. But God is not going to make believers give. It is the desire of God that every man be saved, but every man will not receive the free gift of grace the Father has given. There are many things within the realm of the kingdom of God that the Father wants for us but they are tied to and initiated by the faith of the receiver. In other words, the Father wants to give it to us more than we want to receive it, but He has established the means of receiving as a prayer of faith. The prayer of faith will move the Father to do what He otherwise would not do. Sometimes it is hard to follow an unseen teacher like the Person of the Holy Spirit. But this is the life God wants for us if we are to pray the PRAYER OF FAITH. What about the woman with the issue of blood? Her faith made her whole. Look at her confession in Mark 5:28. Mark 5:28 ESV For she said, "If I touch even his garments, I will be made well." Look at her confession in Mark 5:33. Mark 5:33 ESV But the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came in fear and trembling and fell down before him and told him the whole truth. There was no doubt that she had been healed. It an act of faith and not just a positive confession with no results. The one preaching faith did not have to convince her that she was whole, she knew she had received a touch of the Master's hand. Let's exchange the ministry of manipulation that is seen so much in our churches and on TV back to the position of the ministry of faith in what God can and wants to do, ifonly we believe. Remember the object of our prayers: We are not to put faith in a man or ministry. We are not to put faith in our faith. WE ARE to put faith in GOD, in His WORD, in His HOLY SPIRIT which is active in us, and in the WORK OF CHRIST ON THE CROSS and His RESURRECTION. I PRAY THE BLESSING AND PROMISE OF GOD'S HEALING ON YOU: THE PRAYER OF FAITH.
I declare the Word of God that says in Psalms 41:3 LORD, You will uphold us even on our sickbed; You will transform our bed of illness into health. I declare this over everyone reading this. Father, in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, I turn to You in all times, in sickness and in health, in good and in bad. But today I turn to You for help in my physical weakness. I declare Your Word Father that says in Psalm 107:20 that You issued, You released, Your command and have healed us; You have delivered us from our destruction. Father, You have sent Your healing Word to Your servant by the Name of my Lord Jesus Christ and the power of the Person of the Holy Spirit and I believe it and I receive it. In the Name of Jesus, I proclaim all infirmity and sickness be driven from my body. Dear Lord, You are the Just judge, Holy and True. You are the Most High God. It is You gives me life. You hold all power in your hands and I stand upon this truth. You are the Mighty One who carries the world, and is ruler over all the universe and the earth. I declare that it is You, Oh Most Blessed One, who is the giver of life. In You are only good things and I am in You. In You is mercy and love. In You is healing of every sickness. In you is freedom from all pain. Precious Lord, You love me so much. You were sent from the Father, sent to save me from destruction and present me as a spotless, pure body before the Father as His inheritance. You carry all knowledge and all power over my body, soul and spirit. I may know the symptoms Lord, but You see my inner most and know the root of my need. You Lord are my medicine. Your Words Lord are Truth and Life. Lord, by faith, I declare that You have turned my weakness into strength, my suffering into compassion, my sorrow into joy, and my pain into comfort for others. As Your servant I place all my trust in your goodness and in your faithfulness. I declare that I have been restored to full health, dear Father, for Your Name's sake and for Your glory. I confess all fear and doubt from this heart and declare it under the authority of Your Word, by the power of Your Holy Spirit, and may You, Lord, be glorified through his life. AMEN Who wants healing? Available through the fear of God.
