Prayers That Bring Healing

very high level of faith and an increased demand on the gifts of God's anointed ones. You cannot hesitate to have high expectancy to receive healing by touching a garment. Just like the woman with the issue of blood had, you must draw from that touch. Getting Close To The Healer Through His Word And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret...And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon's, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship. Faith comes by hearing (Rom. 10:17). That is why we need to hear about the healing anointing. We need teaching concerning that anointing. To put a demand on the teaching gift, you must have a desire for knowledge. The New English translation says the people crowded upon Him to listen to the Word of God. These people were putting a demand upon His teaching gift. There was such a demand that He needed to borrow Simon's ship to teach the crowds. How often do people crowd into buildings to hear teaching? Only those who are hungry for the Word will press to hear. Their hunger for the things of God will cause them to put a demand on the gifts of God. —Luke 5:1, 3, KJV
