I don't need those tests! week 45,2010

Will you not do the lab tests? “What for? I am sure I am healed. I don’t need any tests to prove it. The word of God is my evidence.” Which one you deh? Doing the tests will confirm your healing. “I want to prove God in this. Going to do tests is walking by sight and is contrary to faith.” If so why did Jesus send people for tests? “Ah, there were no labs in Jesus’ days. You’re fabricating things.” Am I? Then Jesus said to him, "Listen! Don't tell anyone, but go straight to the priest and let him examine you; then in order to prove to everyone that you are cured, offer the sacrifice that Moses ordered."Matt 8:4(GNB). “Was it not to fulfill the law as a good Jew that He did so?” I believe it was more than that. Remember the blind man brought to Jesus? Jesus took the blind man's hand and led him out of the village. He spit into the man's eyes and placed his hands on him. Jesus asked him, "Can you see anything?"Mk 8:23(GW). Surely no one can accuse Jesus of not walking by faith at any time. The test will prove your faith is real and bring glory to Jesus. How else will the doubter be convinced and the gainsayers silenced when they accuse you of living in delusion or denial? Christianity is an evidence based faith you know. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen Heb 11:1(KJV).
“So what do I do if the lab test says I’m not healed?” I think it is right to see if you have carefully followed all God’s instructions on the matter. Then get back to Jesus for a second touch; Jesus laid his hands on his eyes again; and he opened his eyes, his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly Mk 8:25(ESV). “Sometimes after the second touch the lab test still won’t say you are well. What should I then?” Do you remember Elijah? After speaking the word of faith to Ahab based on God’s promise he prayed on in faith until the manifestation of God’s word. "Go up, eat and drink, for there is a sound of the rushing of rain." … And Elijah went up to the top of Mount Carmel. And he bowed himself down on the earth and put his face between his knees. 1Ki 18:41-42(ESV). No matter how many times the result came out negative he persevered: And he said to his servant, "Go up now, look toward the sea." And he went up and looked and said, "There is nothing." And he said, "Go again," seven times. And at the seventh time he said, "Behold, a little cloud like a man's hand is rising from the sea." 1Ki 18:43-44(ESV). Persevere in faith and have brethren support you.
