One thing you’ll most certainly want to do, for instance, is read about the people who were healed in the Gospels. Meditate on their stories until you see yourself in them; as the leper being made clean or the centurion’s servant being healed. Then look at them some more until you’re no longer just the one receiving, you’re right there beside Jesus ministering with Him.
God’s words “are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh” (Proverbs 4:22). “They are spirit, and they are life” (John 6:63). The law of the Spirit of life is in The WORD, and The WORD is what causes faith to come. So, stay in The WORD and make the faith connection.
Quit wondering whether God is going to heal you or not and start saying what He says. Obey the command Jesus gave us in Mark 11:22 and “Have faith in God!”
But Brother Copeland, what about the symptoms?
Have faith in God!
But what about the doctor’s diagnosis?
Have faith in God!
But what if I don’t feel like I’m healed?
Forget about your feelings and have faith in God!
Jesus said, “Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore…What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them” (verses 23-24).
Your healing is a done deal as far as Jesus is concerned. He settled it once and for all, when He said, “I will.”
Now it’s your turn: Believe it. Say it. And receive! V

The Power of Encouragement
by Dennis Burke
Not long ago, I had a friend named Paul on my mind. It had been a long time since I’d seen him, and I thought it would be nice to catch up, so I gave him a call.
The moment the phone started ringing, a random thought shot through my head: Paul’s radio broadcast is having a great impact in his city.
I had no reason to think that. I knew Paul had a radio broadcast, but to be completely transparent, it wasn’t the first thing on my mind.
Paul answered, and we started to chitchat.
“How are you? Been a while. Yes, everyone’s fine….”
Then I said, “Hey Paul, by the way, your radio broadcast is having a great impact in your city.”
He dropped the phone. I heard it hit the floor. Then I heard…dancing. I could hear him shouting, “Oh, praise God! Oh, thank You, Jesus!” He was having a Holy Ghost revival, powerhouse party right there on the spot!
A moment later, he picked up the phone.
“Dennis!” he shouted. “I’ve been in prayer all morning asking God about things in my ministry. I had just finished saying, ‘Oh God, I don’t feel like this radio broadcast is having any impact in this city.’ And that’s when you called and said what you did!”
