Making Your Point of Contact

When the sun was setting, all those who had any that were sick with various diseases brought them to him; and He laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them. ---Luke 4:40

Jesus was the will of God in action. He constantly showed people that God wanted them healed. He never turned a single person away that came to him for healing. Now that Jesus is in Heaven and sitting at the right hand of God the Father making intercession for you and me, He is able to do more in that position than when He was on this earth in a single body.

God wants you healed, and once that truth is lodged in your own heart, your next step is to make a point of contact. This “point of contact” refers to the moment you begin to release your faith for your healing. That will happen when you are totally convinced that God does not want you defeated through sickness, disease or torment. You will make your point of contact when there is no doubt that God is the Healer and He cares about you. You will make your point of contact when there is a conviction that God can take care of any affliction and any disease or any mental or emotional problems. After finding out God’s perfect will in the matter, you make your petition: “Thank God, I believe I receive my healing. Thank God, I’m healed by the stripes of Jesus.”

A point of contact can be made in two basic ways. One way is through prayer according to Mark 11:24: “Whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them and you will have them.” Another way is through the laying on of hands: “In my name…they shal lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover." (Mark 16: 17,18)

When a person makes his point of contact, at that moment he begins to believe he receives his healing. He may not feel it or see it, but he still believes he has received his answer. You may hear him say, “I believe I received three days ago when I prayed” or “I believe I received yesterday when hands were laid on me.” The important thing to remember is that once you have prayed, thoroughly believing that God wants to and will heal you, that you don’t question the healing. By that, I mean, God will heal you. You may experience symptoms a little while longer. If that happens, just continue to thank God for healing you. If you were to say something like, “Well, I thought God would heal me!” then you are confessing doubt. Then you need to go back to the scriptures and get thoroughly convinced again that it is God’s will to heal.

The reason people don’t receive their healing will be covered in tomorrow’s message. Keep checking in and don’t miss a single message. It will build your faith!

Confession: I know God’s will, so I pray, believing I receive what I desire through my own prayer of faith. Another way I receive from my Father is through the laying on of hands. When hands are laid on me or I pray, my healing begins at that point of contact.
