You asked, "So do you believe Jesus was taking the focus off the Healer and putting it on the woman with the issue of blood when he said 'thy faith has made thee whole'?" No, because FAITH must always have an object. The women's faith was not the object, Jesus was. He commended her for her actions; her response to what she believed. How can one believe if they have nothing to belive in? Atheists believe there is NO God, but this does not mean that they do not believe in something! Think about it, the action of sitting in a chair takes faith - we have to believe that the chair will hold our weight before we act on that trust and sit! But also consider does the chair hold us because we believe it will? Just something to think about! The "faith factor" does indeed figure into many area of our life. Keep your eyes and your faith fixed on Jesus - "the Author and perfector of our faith!" Hebrews 12:2 Jesus is not only the object of our faith, He is the One who has given us even the ability to believe. The woman choose to believe Jesus could heal her; and even her faith to believe came from the Lord. So when Jesus said, "your faith has made you well", He was giving glory to God! Be careful what you choose to believe in! In Jesus' Mighty Name, Mommapbs PS: Faith is a precious gift from God for us to glorify Him. God always will honor our faith in Him - even when we don't understand His ways with us or those we love. |

Thanks. Your chair example helped me see where you are coming from and I agree with you. Just as I have faith that the chair will hold me, I have faith the my Father will heal me. And no, the chair doesn't hold me because I believe it will and no, my Father does not heal because I believe He will. The chair holds me because thats what it does. My Father heals me because that's what he does. And as you said with the chair, I must believe, then act on that trust and sit before I can benefit from what I believe (that the chair can hold me). Likewise, I must believe my Father will heal, act on that belief, then sit (or like Hebrews 4:11 says 'labor to enter into his rest') before I can benefit from what I believe. I've had been reading Hebrews not too long ago and chapters 3 and 4 talk about the dangers of unbelief and how 'they could not enter in because of unbelief'. Heb 4:2 even said that 'but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it'. And I guess that would be an entirely different subject so I'll stop now. :) Again thanks for listening and responding. Abba Father bless you! |
