Faith and Corresponding Action !

FAITH And CORRESPONDING ACTION : But as far as Jesus was concerned, they were healed. There wasn't anything else He could do. He had spoken The Word. Their part was to have corresponding actions toward His Words. And as they went, they were cleansed. But I question if the other nine kept their healing, because Jesus asked the question, "Were there not 10 cleansed ? But where are the nine ? In other words, "if the nine Are Healed, why didn't they return to give thanks ? Corresponding actions is important to anything you believe, spiritual or natural things. I heard of a farmer, one Paul had planted wheat, but it didn't come up to a good stand. He told the men who work for him, "While he's gone, if it gets dry enough, clouded under, because there just isn't enough to make a good yield." But his wife said, "let's pray over that wheat and confess the Word of God over it, and believe that it will produce." He said, "Now you know I'm a faith man all right, but you have to have something to confess over, and it doesn't look like there is enough to give use our faith on." They went to a meeting, and when they came back, it had rained and they had not plowed the wheat under. So they look at it again, and it began to look a little better. His wife talked him into talking to the wheat. They spoke faith-filled words over it. They read (Malachi 3:11, Psalms 1:3, and Deuteronomy 28:1--15) to the wheat. They took the word of God and mixed their faith with it. They confessed the promises of God over it. Then they fertilized it. When they cut the wheat that fall, then fill made 50 bushels of wheat to the acre. Some of the other fields cut as much as 70 bushels to the acre. There corresponding actions was confessing the word over it, fertilizing it, and patiently waiting for the crop to grow to maturity before they brought the combine into the field. If they had said, "they believe they have a good crop, so let's combine the wheat," when they only had the blade, then they would have been disappointed. But they continue to use good business practice and reaped a good harvest. Don't throw away good business practices just because you operate in faith. You use common sense with your faith. When it comes to the area of healing, there are people who will say, "if you're confessing that you're healed, then why would you be taking medicine ?" They say, "you are taking medicine for sickness that you don't have." Look at it this way. You are sick and you are calling for healing. Just saying you're not sick is not going to make you well. But calling things that are not is a biblical Bible principle. You sure don't want to go around calling yourself sick. That would be establishing the existing problems. To call for healing when you are sick doesn't mean that you are denying you are sick. You just don't give place to the sickness. Yet, you don't deny that the sickness exists. You did not its right to exist in your body.
