Healing Now 2024
May 25, 2024 • Duane Sheriff • Matthew 17:17–21, John 16:7–11, 2 Corinthians 10:4–5, Romans 3:3–4, Mark 9:23–24
Brother Duane explores the concept of unbelief and its impact on our faith journey, particularly in the area of healing. He shares his personal experiences of witnessing God's miraculous power, including the resurrection of his grandson Urias.
Unbelief can hinder our ability to receive from God. According to Mark 9:23, "If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes." There are four types of unbelief: rejection of Jesus, lack of knowledge, wrong knowledge, and carnality. Duane emphasizes the importance of overcoming unbelief through prayer and fasting, clarifying that these spiritual disciplines are not intended to change God but to align ourselves with His will. According to Hosea 4:6, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge."
Strongholds can become refuges for unbelief in our minds. To tear down these strongholds, we should submit every thought to the obedience of Christ. Although our feelings are real, they may not always reflect the truth. By focusing on God's Word and bringing our bodies under subjection through prayer and fasting, we can overcome unbelief and experience the fullness of God's promises regardless of circumstances or feelings.
