Lesson 4 – Manifestations and Faith

“On Earth . . . .
. . as it is in Heaven”

God uses two basic means to bring healing into people’s lives. They are:

1. ___________________________________________________________

2. ___________________________________________________________

A. MANIFESTATIONS

I Corinthians 12: 7-10 (NKJV)

7
the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: 8 for to one is given the word of
wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by
the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, 10 to another the working of miracles, to
another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the
interpretation of tongues.

As we taught last week, we find there are nine manifestations of the Spirit:

Revelation – Reveal Something

o Word of Wisdom
o Word of Knowledge
o Discerning (distinguishing) of spirits
Power – Do Something
o Faith
o Gifts of Healings
o Working (effecting) of Miracles
Vocal – Say Something
o Prophecy
o Different Kinds of Tongues
o Interpretation of Tongues

When you pray for a sick person – at home – at Wal-Mart -- in a Healing Service or at a church altar on
Sunday morning, there are typically six manifestations at work (and at times all nine) may be in operation
but typically you will use those items listed under the Power and Revelation grouping.

Three Purposes of these manifestations:

1.

2.
3.

Characteristics of each manifestation:

Revelation:
o Word of Wisdom

o Word of Knowledge

o Discerning of spirits

Power:
o Faith

o Gifts of Healings

o Miracles

B. FAITH
ALL Faith comes
from God

GOD

God gives to man a measure

of faith (Ro. 12:3) so man
can be born again.

The righteous (just)

shall live by faith - My Faith – To Live
Ro. 1:17 (My Faith) my life in this world
 How God Uses Faith for Healing

of the Holy Spirit God’s Side Man’s Side
(I Cor. 12:8-10) Revealing & Empowering Cultivating – Believing - Acting

Prophecy power (Amp)
Mk. 11:23 - Speak to the
Discerning of Spirits
“sickness” and command it to
Various Tongues
be healed
Interpretation of Tongues

There are Special Manifestations that bring Healing AND there is something called - MY FAITH.

Earlier when we were talking about the manifestation of faith, I said that there were three types or
forms of faith:

1. Faith to live by or saving faith – Ro. 1:17

2. The fruit called faith – Galatians 5:22

3. Supernatural manifestation of faith – I Cor 12:9

The first two could be called MY FAITH because -

o God gives us (me) a measure of Faith – Ro. 12:3 (faith to live by, faith to believe in Jesus)

o The Faith that God gives me (MY FAITH) is increased (fruit) by hearing the Word of Christ and
putting it into action – Ro. 10:17 (fruit of Holy Spirit)

When it comes to MY FAITH (Galatians 5:22), there are two components to this faith:

FAITH - GOD’S SIDE

o God has declared who He is – Ex 15:26

o God has given us His promises – Ps. 30:2, Ps. 103:3, Ps. 107:20, Isa. 53:5, Jer. 30:17, Ja. 5:14-16,
I Pet. 2:24
FAITH – MAN’S SIDE

o I must now receive these promises and act on them.

First – our faith must be in God.

Second – we must know that it is God’s will that we be well – that God does not want us sick.
Third – we must speak to our mountains (sickness, disease, pain) and tell them to go.

This form of healing is not a special manifestation of the Holy Spirit … rather it is receiving the
promises of God and believing them to be true for me.

God is looking for Believers to BELIEVE…

and not to rely on the gifts or manifestations of the Spirit to receive healing.

How long will it take?

The writer of Hebrews shows us that there are two ingredients involved in receiving the promises of God –
Hebrews 6:10-12
o one is faith
o and the other is patience.

Why do you need patience?

Because once you believe God for something, patience will keep you on track until it manifests. It is
possible to:

o pray in faith,
o believe you receive something,
o and then let go of it through impatience and negative confession -- thus not receive your healing

God has said to us through the writer of Hebrews --

We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith
and patience (perseverance) inherit what has been promised.
