Preaching And Healing.

“He could not do any miracles there, except lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them. And he was amazed at their lack of faith. Then Jesus went around teaching from village to village.” 
Mark 6:5-6 (NIV)

In today's devotional we will further emphasize on the importance of faith especially when you are going for a healing meeting or to a man of God to pray for you to be healed.

Praying for the sick to be healed is not magic, this is the reason why some people do not get healed; it is due to the fact that they do not exercise their faith in the power of God to be healed. This is shown in our opening scripture, that their lack of faith made the power of God ineffective in their lives.

If your faith is little, the Bible shows you how faith comes in Romans 10:17, “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Therefore, Jesus went around teaching the Word of God to them in the villages,  so that their faith could be built according to our opening scripture.

When you observe the ministry of Jesus in the Bible, you will notice that when the crowd came to Him, He preached the Word of God to them so that their  faith could be stirred before He healed them. Luke 5:15(TLB) says, “Now the report of his power spread even faster and vast crowds came to hear him preach and to be healed of their diseases.” It implies that, Jesus' style of ministry is teaching, preaching and healing. Teaching and preaching coming first before ministering to the sick shows us the importance of faith in ministering to the sick and receiving healing.
