Overcoming Unbelief: How Faith Can Lead to Physical and Spiritual Healing3 min read
Living the Kingdom Lifestyle: Part One of a Three-Part Series on Healing
Introduction
On March 3, 2024, David Huskisson embarked on the first part of a transformative three-part series on healing at the Bread of Life Community Church. This series aims to explore the profound subject of healing, a journey that demands faith, understanding, and the willingness to see beyond our physical realm.
The Inspiration for the Healing Series
In a recent leadership meeting, a simple yet profound remark sparked the idea for this series. David shares that despite their extensive experience in faith-based work, it was the concept of healing on the streets that deeply resonated with him and his wife. Their journey of practical training with a Church in Southend-on-Sea and hands-on experience has solidified their belief in the power of healing as an integral part of the Gospel.
The Heart of Healing: Faith and Unbelief
Addressing the common barrier of unbelief, David passionately argues that healing is a gift from God that requires a leap of faith—one that looks beyond doubt and scepticism. Through personal anecdotes and biblical references, he illustrates that faith, even as small as a mustard seed, can lead to miraculous healings.
The Biblical Foundation of Healing
Drawing from the Scriptures, David points to numerous instances where faith played a pivotal role in healing. He highlights Jesus’s ministry as a model for the potential within each believer to bring healing to others and to perform even greater works. This segment underscores the importance of understanding and applying the Word of God in our journey towards embracing healing.
Conclusion: Seated with Christ
The first part of the series concludes with a profound reflection on our spiritual position in Christ. Using the metaphor of being ‘seated with Christ,’ David encourages a heavenly perspective on life and ministry. From this vantage point, we are called to ‘look down’ upon the earth with authority ‘over’ all our troubles, including sickness, disease, and infirmity, just as Jesus did.
Join the Journey Towards Healing
As we anticipate the continuation of this series, we are invited to reflect on our understanding of healing and faith. Are we ready to step out in faith, as Peter did, towards the fullness of God’s promise for our lives?
