Do I have enough faith to be healed?
Most likely, yes. Many Christians who have not yet received the promised healing feel rejected by God, even let down by him in their hour of need. The idea that there has been a ‘failure’ to meet their need may turn to self-blame. The self-accusation emerges from the felling that one does not have enough faith. Sufferers sometimes say that they will not attend healing services because they do not have the faith for that sort of thing. In the context of Christian healing it is not right to think of our lack of faith, as we understand the meaning of that word today, as being a faulty belief system which will turn God away in judgment, with drawing his healing hand. Faith, when described as the supplicant’s belief in Jesus as Son of God, and belief in his virgin birth, his death and resurrection, is not in question here. It is not lack of such creedal faith that limits our ability to receive healing, but rather our lack of simple and child-like expectancy that he will do it.
