Faith isn't passive—it's the catalyst that activates divine healing in our lives. This message begins with the story of a local family and their daughter who at just a few months old was diagnosed with cancer throughout her tiny body. Doctors offered no hope, yet after prayer and standing on Scripture, every scan came back clear. Today, at twelve years old, she plays sports and shows no sign of her once-terminal condition.

Through several powerful Biblical accounts, we discover the consistent pattern of how faith operates. When two blind men pursued Jesus persistently, He asked them a simple question: "Do you believe I am able?" Their straightforward "Yes, Lord" was all Jesus needed before declaring, "According to your faith, let it be to you." This demonstrates that while God's healing power remains constant and unlimited, our ability to receive directly corresponds to our faith.

The stories of Jairus and the woman with the issue of blood further illustrate this principle. Jairus declared in faith, "If You lay hands on her, she will be healed and live," prophesying the outcome before it happened. Despite his daughter being pronounced dead, Jesus instructed him, "Don't be afraid, only believe." When the woman with the 12-year bleeding condition declared, "If I touch His clothes, I'll be made well," she received exactly what she believed and spoke.

Similarly, the Canaanite woman's persistence and humility prevailed despite initial rejection. Her response that "even little dogs eat the crumbs from the master's table" demonstrated extraordinary faith, resulting in her daughter's immediate healing. These accounts teach us that God's healing power isn't dispensed randomly but requires our active participation through faith.

Like a motion-activated faucet needing your hand to turn on, God's healing power requires your faith to activate it. The violent take it by force—don't wait passively for blessing to drop on your head like ripe cherries off a tree. Your words, your faith, and your actions make the difference between receiving or missing what God has already provided.
