Speak to your mountain. Speak to your sickness and command it to go in Jesus name rather than asking God to do it. Just as Jesus instructed His disciples in Mark 11:22-24

Have faith in God. For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, Be removed and be cast into the sea, and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.

Speaking is an applied release of God’s creative word of promise.

There are things to avoid and I will list some of them with ways to avoid them. However keep in mind there are no formulas or 10 steps to getting healed. Healing is about a relationship with the Healer and simply receiving from Him what He desires you to have. What we are talking about now is really cooperating with the Holy Spirit in the process of renewing our minds so that there is no hindrance to faith.

1. Avoid trying to believe. Act on the word. That is believing.

2. Avoid making any confession that contradicts God's word. Make your testimony and confession agree with God's word regardless of symptoms. Keep His word on your lips.

3. Avoid merely trusting in other people's faith. Have your own faith. You are a believer. You have faith. God has given to each person a measure of faith. Rom.12:3.

4. Avoid talking doubt and unbelief. Quote the scriptures steadfastly, and they will be yours. Rev.12:11 says They overcame him (the adversary) by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony.

5. Avoid talking sickness and pains. Talk about your healing. When you talk about sickness, you magnify and glorify the devil whom you admit by your words is able to make you sick. Make your adversary listen to your praise to God and to your conversation about the living word and the promises of God, and he will leave you. See Matt. 4:11 & James 4:7

While Jesus was being tempted. He defeated Satan by saying. It is written, and then by repeating His Father's words. You can defeat him in the same way.

6. It must have grieved the heart of Jesus for Thomas to doubt His resurrection. Unbelief in the redemptive work of Jesus Christ is not a small thing. Your attitude toward the substitutionary death of Christ needs to be as He bore my diseases, I am healed.

Doubt the doubts. Come against them with the word of God.

7. Avoid talking failure and inability. Say like Paul in Phil.4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

8. Get rid of any unforgiveness.

God is no closer to anyone than He is to you.

When after prayer for healing satan tells you, you will not recover say to him as Jesus did It is written

Mark 16:18 They will recover

James 5.15 The Lord will raise him up

All that the devil got from Jesus was It is written, It is written. Then the devil left him.

Never quote the negative things from the devil. Quote and believe the word of God. The devil is a liar.

The sure way of resisting the devil is the same way Jesus used, believing speaking and acting upon the word of God.

If you would not be tolerant of sin in your life then do not be tolerant of sickness either.

Believe God's word. Trust His word. Know the creative power of His word then you can and will act on His word.

If God says I am the Lord that heals you, and you dare to believe the power of these wonderful words, you will act on them.

The bedridden will arise by faith and be made whole; the lame will leap like a deer; the tongue of the dumb will begin to sing; the deaf ears will be unstopped; pains will leave; and darkness will vanish

You will begin to do the very things you could not do before you took God at His word, acted on that word, and were healed.

Jesus bore our diseases as well as our sins on the cross therefore we need not bear them! So our next step is to take hold of our healing by faith.

The truth of the matter is, God gave us this part of our inheritance nearly 2000 years ago, and He is the One who is waiting for us to appropriate the blessing by faith.

2000 years ago

1) God put away sin by the sacrifice of Jesus Heb.9:26.

2) God laid on Christ the iniquity of us all Isa.53:6.

3) Christ took our infirmities and bore our sicknesses Matt.8:17

God is the waiting party.

2 Peter 3:9 The Lord does not delay and is not tardy or slow about what He promises, according to some peoples conception of slowness, but He is long-suffering (extraordinarily patient) toward you

Mark 11:22-24 So Jesus answered and said to them, Have faith in God. For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, Be removed and be cast into the sea, and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.

Jesus tells us exactly how to appropriate any of the blessings purchased for us by His death. Having promised all that we need, He says Whatever things you ask for, when you pray believe that you receive them, and you shall have them.

The condition of receiving what we ask God for is to believe that He answers our prayers when we pray and that we shall recover, according to His promise.

In other words, when you pray for healing, Christ authorizes you to consider your prayer answered, as when He stood at the grave of Lazarus and said Father, I thank You that You have heard me John 11.41, before He saw Lazarus come out from the grave.

When we ask for healing Christ tells us to say with faith, Father, I thank You that You have heard Me, before we have yet seen the answer to our prayer.

When God's Word alone is our reason for believing that our prayer is answered, before we see or feel it, this is faith!

Jesus declared, The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life John 6-63

John 1.1 says, The Word is God

To receive the written words of Christ as His direct message to us is faith. This is the way the Word of God becomes life to us, both in our healing and in our salvation.

The truth when it is believed changes adverse facts because God’s word has spiritual power. The physical things we see and feel are subject to the spiritual just as the physical world came into being by the spiritual. We do not have to pretend the physical symptoms do not exist but know that they will be changed by the higher truth of Gods word when it is believed.

When His Word convinces us that our prayers are answered, before we have yet seen the answers, the Word begins to effectively work in us 1 Thessalonians 2:13

God's Word never fails to work in those who accept it as such, because they are not entertaining doubts as to its being fulfilled.

If we will steadfastly believe that we receive Mark 11:24 the answer to our prayer, and act on our faith, every one of us can be healed, though it will not always instantly be manifested.

When we make our move, which is the acting out of a full assurance of faith Heb.10:22, produced solely by His promise, before we see the answer to our prayer we begin to see the answer in the physical realm. Faith is what we have while the symptoms are still there.

Instead of listening to the Father of Lies make him listen to your praising God for His promise!

Paul and Silas sang praises at midnight with their backs bleeding and their feet in the stocks, and God sent an earthquake, which set them free. Acts 16:22—26.

Faith takes hold of what the grace of God has already provided. God does not need to do anything else. Faith enables what God has already done to flow from the spiritual to the physical.

Receiving from God may be thought of as like a board game, when, after one person moves, he has nothing to do until the other player moves. Each person moves in his own turn. Similarly, when God has provided healing, or any other blessing, and sent us His Word, it is our move.

Our move is to expect what He promises when we pray, which will cause us to act on our faith before we see the healing.

When Noah was warned of God of things not seen as yet Heb.11:7, his move was to believe that the flood was coming and to act on his faith by building the ship on dry land.

Therefore, when God says to any sick James 5:14-15 The prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up, we, like Noah, are informed by God “of things not seen as yet,” and our move is the same as Noah’s, which is to believe and act accordingly.

Fallen nature is governed by what it sees and by its senses; but faith is governed by the pure Word of God and is nothing less than expecting God to do what He promises.

Sick people, when prayed for, naturally hope that they will be better; but the natural human emotion of hope is only passive, quite different from Bible faith which is active and creative.

To just hope for something indicates uncertainty It has no basis for expectancy. But faith looks back to what Christ accomplished for us in His death as our substitute. Faith rests with confident assurance in God's word, even while it receives no encouragement at all by what the eye can see. The natural person is a creature of the senses. Feeling or seeing the symptoms of an affliction, he or she tends to believe what the senses register rather than what God's word says.

Faith by contrast is not influenced by what the eye sees and, indeed is indifferent to it. It does not honour the natural senses but draws its strength from the unchanging word of God.

If this were not the nature of faith no such thing as faith would be necessary. Why should faith be needed for that which the eye can already see or the hand can already feel?

The truth is that the healing of the body and the salvation of the soul involve a similar work of the Spirit and are governed by very nearly if not identical laws.

After we have some appreciation of the awfulness of the disease of sin and express a willingness to forsake it, we still will not be saved without believing that Christ died in our place.

Only when we accept the finished work of redemption can we be saved.

If we will not believe until we feel saved, we may never be saved.

It is only in the act of believing the finished work of redemption that conversion takes place.

Faith never waits to see before it believes, because it comes by hearing - Rom.10:17 - about things not seen as yet Heb.11:7, and is the evidence of things not seen v. 1

All that a man of faith needs is to know that God has spoken. The Lord has said settles everything. Faith always blows the ram’s horn before, not after, the walls are down. Remember Jericho from Joshua 6:5, 15-20.

Faith never judges according to the sight of the eyes, because it is the evidence of things not seen but promised.

Faith rests on far more solid ground than the evidence of the senses, and that is the Word of God, which abides for ever 1 Peter. 1:23

Our senses may deceive us, but God’s Word never does!

2 Cor. 4:18 says Faith looks “not at the things which are seen”

Faith is the link between the spirit world and the physical

Faith takes hold of what God has already provided by grace
