EPHESIANS 1:
15
Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, 16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;  17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ,
the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him:

18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of His calling,

...and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,

 19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe,
according to the working of His mighty power,

DAY 27—How Simple, Uncomplicated, Faith Receives Healing

Often the simplest faith from the simplest person receives the most astounding deliverance, or miracle. This is probably because people with less complicated minds are often more ready to believe. They don’t require answers for all the arguments that arise in the minds of some. I remember the words that were written on the wall of a church building where I worshiped years ago. “God said it. I believe it. That settles it.” I thought I stood on that. But I didn’t really. Shortly after the Holy Spirit visited some of us and caused us to believe that healing was in the atonement, something simple took place. The Lord directed me to go into a little Pentecostal church building to see a word on the wall. I saw written above the choir loft these words: “Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, and today and for ever.” I already knew that verse from the Bible—in Hebrews 13:8. But the Lord impressed me to see one particular word. It was ”today.” I needed to see that word from the Bible—and believe it. Jesus Christ is the same—yesterday, TODAY, and forever.

 

Mark 5:34And He said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.

 

Mark 10:52—And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.

Hebrews 13:8Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

DEAR LORD, I wait in Your presence. Let faith increase in me. Teach me to lean upon You. Teach me to listen to Your heart. Teach me to watch You and move in accord with You. I am becoming ready for You to heal my spirit, my mind, and my emotions—and my body. And, LORD, here are these who are suffering—in so many ways. I continue holding them before You. Let healing come to their minds, especially.
