Throughout Scripture, Jesus uses natural wonders to explain supernatural truths. From fruitless figs (Luke 13:6-9), and buzzing bees (Psalm 118:8-12), to choking weeds (Matthew 13:7), and lost sheep (Matthew 18:13-15); it’s no secret that the Bible is steeped in an agricultural and sheep herding culture. Now I never used to think much about sheep or shepherds or flocks.
Sometimes, when your Faith says “Giddy-up”, your unbelief is saying “Whoa”.
We have the same faith as Paul (Galatians 2:20) and Peter (2 Peter 1:1) and Yes, even the same quantity and quality of faith that Jesus has; therefore, we can do the same works (Acts 9:36-42) and (Acts 5:15),.and even those that Jesus did, IF we receive this truth and begin to use what we have (John 14:12). Many Christians have not understood this, they have spent their time asking for faith or for more faith. there is only one measure of faith (Romans 12:3), the faith of Jesus. (Galatians 2:16)
The Bible teaches that it is God’s will that we be well! He has already given us that blessing. It is our unbelief that keeps us from receiving it!
God treats the forgiveness of sin AND the healing of our bodies as two parts of the same salvation – unconditional – two parts of the same salvation. It’s not about being worthy or any act or deed we can do. It is about receiving the greatest gift - something we can NOT earn or purchase or deserve in any way – something we just receive!
Isaiah 53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
In the beginning God created
the heaven and the earth.
The first Hebrew word recorded in Scriptures is … “Bereshit”, (‘in the beginning’).
God’s plan of salvation is laid out in this one word.
In Genesis 1:1 the verse reads in Hebrew as this:
בְּרֵאשִׁית בָּרָא אֱלֹהִים אֵת הַשָּׁמַיִם וְאֵת הָאָרֶץ
Bereshit bara Elohim et hashamayim ve'et ha'aretz.

The scriptures clearly teach that it is possible to know whether we are saved or unsaved. The assurance of the believer is not based on feeling, (though the Christian may ”feel” saved) but on the principles of God’s word. We can know we saved because ...
John 10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
