Watch the video to hear Carrie’s full answer on how faith and healing work together.
This Scripture gives an opportunity for faith and healing to work together. In Ephesians chapter two, in verse six, from the amplified classics, it says,
And He raised us up together with Him and made us sit down together [giving us joint seating with Him] in the heavenly sphere [by virtue of our being] in Christ Jesus (the Messiah, the Anointed One).
When he talks about ‘He’, he’s talking about God.
Believing your positional identity in Christ for faith and healing to work together
Healing is your positional place. You’ve been seated in heavenly places with Christ. Faith and healing can work together as you believe you’ve been seated alongside Him and this is now your place of healing. This is now your place where you’re able to say, ‘This is mine.’ You have that virtue of being in Christ. You understand and agree with Colossians 1:27, which says,
To them God would make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
How do faith and healing work together when I am seeing symptoms?
I don’t know what symptom you’re fighting with or what has been difficult for so long. But you know what? There’s so much Word that is coming forth, there are revelations that get you to that place that you’re able to then have this heavenly perspective. From the aspect of grace, what God has provided, you see the things that are unseen. When you compare the things that are natural with the things that are eternal, you see the difference.
Right now, you may have the perspective of, yeah, I’m seeing something in my body. I’m feeling something in my body. I’m hearing reports and declarations about my body, but I see something and I know something bigger, which is unseen.
How do faith and healing work with the unseen?
It’s a faith in what may be unseen in the natural right now, but I see the Word of God. And because I see the Word of God, it changes the way I view everything else. So now, when you look at yourself, you don’t look at yourself as
- weak
- sick
- broken
- bruised
- lacking
- Traumatic
- full of drama
That’s not how you look at yourself any longer. This is faith and healing work together. Now, you look at yourself as
- I’m healed.
- I’m whole.
- I’m forgiven.
- I’m cleansed.
- I’m strong.
- I have a future.
- I have a hope.
You look at yourself through the light of what is seen in the Word of God, not what is seen in the world. It’s not on the natural anymore but now it’s on the eternal.
and the Word of God. You get to respond to that Word and say ‘Amen!’ when He says it is finished. (John 19:30)
What faith begins to do within your life
You can look at
- depression
- mental health issues
- sickness
- disease
- aches
- pains
And say it is finished. Why? Because now you’re having this joyful response, faith and healing are working together as faith declares the grace that’s been done. The great and intense, and wonderful love with which He loved you and the cross that makes you alive together in Christ Jesus. The positional identity of you is seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.
