Faith Bible Study Guide
One way I got headed in the right direction was by constantly studying the Bible as I lay bedfast on the bed of sickness. I studied in detail on the subjects of faith and healing. My church didn’t teach faith and healing, but the more I studied the Word of God, the more I saw that faith and healing were true. And regardless of church teaching, I determined I was going to walk in the light of what the Word says, because the Word of God is God speaking to us now. And I know in my own experience, when I settled on the fact that God’s Word was God speaking to me now, about sixty percent of the faith battle was won!
In order to actually believe the Word of God, I had to go against the teaching of my own church. And not only that, I had to go against what my entire family believed. You know,
it is amazing how we become so church-minded instead of Bible minded; sometimes we act “churchy” instead of born again! And it is amazing how your loved ones (those who think they have your best interests at heart) can often oppose you and try to keep you from walking in the light of God’s Word and many times even become a tool of Satan to hinder you.
When I was studying God’s Word for myself and endeavoring to receive my healing, I realized that my family members were discouraging me instead of encouraging me, so I just quit talking to them about faith and healing. I just kept my thoughts to myself and quietly determined to just obey the Word of God for myself. Say it out loud: “God’s Word is God speaking to me.”
