Big Healing Book - Galatians 3:5-6

Galatians 3:5-6:

He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.

Notes on Galatians 3:5-6:

Here Paul tells us that God can do miracles when people believe for them. Abraham, the example in this passage, believed God for a physical miracle. He believed that he would become the father of many nations when it was physically impossible for him to have a son through his wife. Rather than doubting God’s promise, he called that which was not (having descendants through Sarah) as though they already were. He did not consider his own body or Sarah’s body.

So if you need a miracle, the process for receiving is identical to receiving a healing. You don’t have to try to figure out if you need a healing or a miracle before you pray. Let God figure that out; it’s above your pay grade. Believe that you receive your healing when you pray. If you need a miracle, it will manifest.

If want Abraham-type miracles, we need to have Abraham-type faith. We must also consider the Word of God to be more real than the current physical condition of our bodies if we want to receive miracles.

It is not a matter of going to seminary or reading a dozen commentaries on the Bible. It is a matter of believing God. Your works, even your religious works, do not qualify you for a miracle. The length of time you have been saved does not qualify you for a miracle. The wonderful works you have done to serve the Body of Christ do not qualify you for a miracle. Believing God, as Abraham did, is what qualifies you to receive a miracle! Don’t let works be your basis for receiving from God. The Galatians had started to make this mistake, and Paul called them foolish.

I made this mistake early in my ministry. I thought that because I was involved in healing events (in helps capacities, not as the preacher at that time), God should have kept me from getting sick. I had to learn that my works did not qualify me for divine healing – Jesus’ stripes did!
