| Jesus was a FaithHealer .
Much of what Jesus combatted throughout His Ministry was a Wrong perception of God .
The prevailing perception was that God is a hard taskmaster - that He held unforgivingly to the contract that He struck with Iarael at Mt. Sinai.
That contract, which Israel wanted, was one of Performance based outcomes.
If You keep the Law , You Will be Blessed . If You break the Law , You Will be Cursed .
They Left behind the Relationship of Grace and entered into a legal contract .
After 1500 years of experience based on a Wrong Choice they did Not Know who God really was.
They Never knew whether God would show Mercy or Manifest Judgment .
In today's terms God was perceived as moody, schizophrenic or bipolar.
So, Jesus came preaching Repentance - Change your Mind about God . He is Not who You Think He is.
So, if God is Not equal parts Mercy and Anger who is He?
John 3:16,17
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his Only begotten Son , that whosoever believeth in him should Not Perish , but have everlasting Life .
17 For God sent Not his Son into the world to Condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
Hebrews 8:12
For I Will be merciful to their Unrighteousness , and their Sins and their Iniquities Will I remember no more.
If God is All about Love , Mercy , Grace and Relationship , what then is our part?
... Faith ...
Yes, Jesus came to Heal Faith !
Mark 11:22
And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have Faith in God .

Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day Is , and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he Not much more clothe You , O ye of little Faith ?
Matthew 8:26
And he saith unto them, Why are ye Fearful , O ye of little Faith ? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a Great calm.
Matthew 14:31
And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little Faith , wherefore didst thou Doubt ?
Matthew 16:8
Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little Faith , Why Reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread?
Romans 4:19
And being Not Weak in Faith , he Considered Not his own Body Now Dead , when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara’s womb:
Romans 14:1
Him that is Weak in the Faith Receive ye, but Not to doubtful disputations.
Luke 18:8b
...Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find Faith on the earth?
Does your Faith Need Healing ?
Listen to what the Word and the HolySpirit Say about You .
You are loved . You are His Child . You are His Heir .
Have Faith in the Love of God !
