Just as money is used as currency on earth to get needed items, faith is the currency of Heaven. God responds to faith. Mark 11:24 states, Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them. Every person ever born has been given a measure of faith by God. Jesus said if your faith is as small as a mustard seed, which is the smallest of seeds, it still can accomplish great things. It is not the size of your faith that matters, but the use of the faith that you have. Faith grows with experience over time.
It is shown in scripture that when Jesus went to His hometown, He was not able to do much healing there because of the people's unbelief. He was willing, but they did not believe. Unbelief can block healing. If you lack faith, ask God for it and He will give it to you. Another thing that can hinder healing is sin, such as unforgiveness. Great news! God can forgive you of your sin. Ask Him to help you.
Last of all, God wants you to keep your healing. What happens when a person gets healed and then the symptoms return? Does this mean that they were never really healed? When a person gets healed, the first thing the devil tries to do is to get them to doubt, attempting to get the person into disbelief and steal their healing. This can happen immediately, within days, or even years later. As we stated before, the devil has one thing in mind, and that is to steal, kill and destroy.
How do you maintain your healing? Tell the devil you are healed and are not going to accept his lies. Rebuke those symptoms. Keep believing you are healed. Also, if it is a physical healing, such as healing of a condition that resulted from poor diet, or an addiction, maintain your healing by doing your part. Eat a healthy diet. Don't pick up those things that got you addicted. If you are struggling, seek God's help, get Godly counsel, find scriptures that pertain to your situation and apply them to your life.
