Only Believe for HealingExemplo

Demonstrations of God’s Might

God is pleased when we stand on the Rock and believe that He is unchangeable. If you will dare to believe God, you can defy all the powers of evil. There have been times in my life when I have dared to believe Him and have had the most remarkable experiences.

One day I was traveling in a railway coach, and there were two people in the coach who were very sick, a mother and her daughter. I said to them, “Look, I’ve something in this bag that will cure every case in the world. It has never been known to fail.” They became very interested, and I went on to tell them more and more about this remedy that had never failed to remove disease and sickness. At last, they summoned up the courage to ask for a dose. So I opened my bag, took out my Bible, and read them the verse that says, “I am the Lord who heals you” (Exodus 15:26).

God’s Word never fails. Men are searching everywhere today for things with which they can heal themselves, and they ignore the fact that the Balm of Gilead is within easy reach. As I talked about this wonderful Physician, the faith of both mother and daughter went out toward Him, and He healed them both right on the train.

God has made His Word so precious that if I could not get another copy of it, I would not part with my Bible for all the world. There is life in the Word. There is power in it. I find Christ in it, and He is the One I need for spirit, soul, and body. It tells me of the power of His name and the power of His blood for cleansing. “The young lions lack and suffer hunger; but those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing” (Psalm 34:10).

Another person came and spoke haltingly, “What can you do for me? I have had sixteen operations and have had my eardrums taken out.” I wrote the words, “God has not forgotten how to make eardrums.” She was so deaf that I do not think she would have heard a cannon go off. I anointed her and prayed, asking the Lord to replace the eardrums. But afterward she remained as deaf as it was possible to be. However, she saw other people getting healed and rejoicing. Had “God forgotten to be gracious” (Psalm 77:9)? Wasn’t His power just the same?

She came the next night and said, “I have come to believe God tonight.” Take care that you do not come in any other way. I prayed for her again and commanded her ears to be loosed in the name of Jesus. She believed, and the moment she believed, she heard. She ran and jumped on a chair and began to preach. Later, I let a pin drop, and she heard it touch the floor. “With God all things are possible” (Matthew 19:26). God can heal the worst case.

Thought for today: Faith is an act; faith is a leap; faith jumps in; faith claims. Faith has an author, and faith’s author is Jesus.
