1.  Is the voice you are hearing consistent with the Word?  God's voice never conflicts with the Word of God.

2.  Does it conflict with human reasoning?  Is it reasonable?  God's voice is not necessarily reasonable to the world because the world's system is different.

3.  Does it clash with my fleshly desire?  God's will or voice does not gratify the flesh, but will gratify the Spirit.

4.  Will this challenge my faith?

5.  Does this call for courage?

6.  Does this cause me to think of the effect on others?  Am I concerned about my influence on others - will I be harsh, crude, or careless?  I must yield to Him, love others, carry their burdens at times, die to self, and learn to be patient.

7.  When God speaks, He makes me consider future consequences - Satan does not!

The great prophet Isaiah said that "Jesus was wounded for the wrong that you did. The punishment, which made you well, was given to him, and you are healed because of his wounds" (Isaiah 53:3-6). Today, we can look to Jesus Christ for our healing and health. We can follow the example of the woman in Mark 5:25-34. She had exhausted all of her means and strength. But, she did not give up!

What Did She Do?

1.  She kept saying, "If I can touch His clothes, I will be whole."

*  She focused her heart on Christ.

*  She acted in faith.

*  She put her faith into action.

*  She kept speaking faith-filled words.

2.  She did not stop believing and walking in faith for her miracle.

We Must Not Stop Believing and Persevering in Faith - -

Jesus said, "If you have faith as small as a grain of mustard seed, you can speak to this mountain, and it will move and obey you. Nothing will be impossible to you."

The same resurrection power and the same healing power that was released through Christ as He spoke healing - is in His Word. Speak and confess God's promises of healing and deliverance (Romans 10:8).

Good Confession: (Isaiah 55:11)...Because I know that God's Word will not return unto Him void but will accomplish His purposes, I reject spiritual weariness and any physical exhaustion. I speak life and healing to every part of my body, soul, and spirit. Jesus carried my sins and sicknesses upon Himself. He has removed them from me. I declare that by His stripes I am healed and made whole. God sent His Word and healed me.

Live in peace, do all you can do in the natural and keep looking to the Lord.
