Authorized Distributors
All Spirit-filled believers are authorized distributors of the power of God. (If you’re a Christian but you are not filled with the Holy Spirit, please read How to Be Baptized with the Holy Spirit to learn what to do to become an authorized distributor.)
You don’t have to just think it would be nice to be one of those people who flows in the power of God and sees the sick healed. You can BE one of those people. As a Spirit-filled believer, you are already authorized to be one of those people, though you might not realize it yet. You don’t have to make the mistake so many Christians make, which is to cry out for more power. You don’t need more power; you need more revelation of what the Word says. Did you notice that when Paul prayed for the Ephesians, he didn’t ask God to give them more power? After all, Paul started the church at Ephesus with about 12 men who got baptized in the Holy Spirit, spoke in tongues and prophesied (Acts 19:1-6). What did Paul ask God to give them instead of power? “…the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of their understanding being enlightened that they might know the hope of His calling, and what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe…” (see Ephesians 1:15-23).
Instead of praying that they would receive power, he prayed that they would get a revelation of the exceeding greatness of God’s power toward us who believe. That revelation is what is so sorely needed today.
You might go down to the mobile phone store and see a sign that the business is an “authorized distributor” of a certain smart phone. If you want one, they can sell you one. They don’t have to call the manufacturer first to get specific permission to sell you that phone. They are already authorized to sell it to you.
It is that way with healing. You don’t have to “pray in” a special request to headquarters to see if it is okay for you to distribute divine healing in the name of Jesus. You are already authorized to distribute it in His name. “They (the believing ones) will lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover” (Mark 16:18). “The works that I do, you shall do also, and greater” (John 14:12). As an authorized distributor, you can find some sick people and start distributing what you have!
