Ecclesiastes 7:24 Far off is true existence, and very deep; who may have knowledge of it?
"Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that, is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities; who heals all your diseases; Who redeems your life from destruction; who crowns you with loving-kindness and tender mercies. Who satisfies your mouth things; so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's." Psalms 103:1-5
It is comforting to read these verses, to believe that existence is in our favor, as we speak it.
"What things soever you desire, when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you shall have them." Mark 11:24
I wonder about believing and agreeing, they are obviously not the same, altho I get the distinct impression going along with is the strength behind some comments I've heard. In fact, I can always wonder about myself.
"and he....healed all that were sick: "That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esais the prophet , saying Himself took our infirmities , and bare our sicknesses." Matt 8:16-17
.Isaiah 53:4-5, (KJV), "Surely he has borne our griefs and sicknesses, and carried our sorrows and pains; yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our inequities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed."
This is the premier healing verse. God has already healed us, we do not have to convince Him, we have to convince ourselves. To build faith for healing, it would seem to me, one should read it deeply and never stop reading it into the reflexes of one's over riding thought. And that no matter how long, uninterrupted persistence is the bedrock of faith. (Notice this verse is from the Old while the previous verse is from the New.)
The seen is the directive domain of changing physical sciences while the unseen is the emotional hub or origin of its' energy and power. There are many spirits, more than a few of which delightfully attract, then once established gtadually consume their host. Destructive spirits once they've taken control are difficult to dislodge. See below for Corinthians in the KJV.
Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day.
For the momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison.
While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.
