Dan Mohler - Remaining in Faith
Faith isn’t a method guys. It’s a lifestyle. Faith isn’t try it and see if it works.
Faith is the position of your heart to receive what He accomplished. Faith is
where you live. And even if you’re
not receiving what you say you’re believing for you continue to stay in that
place of faith… Even if we have to go and get something done, to get
something removed or taken care of… Man it’s
not one or the other. Even as you’re getting something done [in]
physical therapy be in faith. Thank God for restoration. “God, I appreciate
just the working of my nerves and muscles and how everything is coming into
alignment. Thank you for wholeness. It’s not one or the other.1
… we believe if we
don’t see it changed it’s not changed or it won’t change. We think: win / lose,
hit / miss. We get around and we keep praying and we end up striving.
We cross lines, get into works. And everybody takes their turn and pulls out
their prophesy and their Old Testament analogies. And let me try. I’ve been in
those circles. When do we just
believe Him? When do we just keep it simple and lay our hands on the
sick and know they shall recover. And without a cop out, without, “Well take
heart, I prayed. They’ll be fine now.” I’m talking about taking responsibility
of faith - the privilege of faith and really releasing faith and believing God
and getting involved and getting your hands on folks. And refusing to let that perspective drop no matter what you
experience. Because I could introduce you to a whole lot of folks that
are healed through that.2
What do we do when we pray on the street and they’re not
healed? I don’t encourage that verbiage - that mentality because faith is not hit / miss; win or lose.
It’s not a plug you put in and pull out. You don’t pray and then read
face value and say ugh. No, you thank
them for the honor of praying for them. “Thanks for taking the time. I
can tell you’re probably in a hurry. I appreciate that you allowed us to pray
for you. We’re expecting change.
We’re believing the goodness of God will be realized in your body. And as that
pain dissipates or even tonight you get out of your car and you walk in your
house and realize out of the blue, “Oh my goodness” just know that Jesus loves
you. He is Lord. And you back out humbly. Don’t go, “Oh my God, I
wonder why they didn’t get healed. I wonder… I must not be too spiritual. My
tank must need filling. I need to go for impartation. Oh my God.” That’s what
we do. We look with our eyes, think with our mind and get in a lot of trouble.
And then we’re not encouraged to keep on keeping on because we’re weighing
results - we’re feeling like we’re doing something wrong - “Why isn’t God
moving when I pray?”3
