"To qualify for this on you have to believe on the name Jesus. Peter saying that it was faith in the name of Jesus"
Is the name of Jesus important?
Act 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you
in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
And beholding the man which was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it. But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves, Saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a notable miracle hath been done by them is manifest to all them that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it.
(Act 4:14-16)
The man was healed, nothing they could say about that.
So they ask, by what authority, what name did you use to heal this man?
Act 4:7 And when they had set them in the midst, they asked,
By what power, or by what name, have ye done this?
If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made whole; Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
(Act 4:9-12)
Jesus defeated the enemy, destroyed the works of the devil. To be honest, to get to the place of being confident of laying hands on the sick, your going to have to find out exactly what Jesus did, and why his name is above all names. Even the name of cancer.
Jesus redeemed us from the curse of the law. In that curse was all manner of sickness and bad things.
Joh 14:14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
So by what Jesus did, He gave his name to us as a power of attorney. Sickness must bow in faith in the name of Jesus.
Would do good to meditate through all the curses and just see what he has delivered us from.
But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that
all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee:
(Deu 28:15)
The LORD shall make the rain of thy land powder and dust: from heaven shall it come down upon thee, until thou be destroyed. The LORD shall cause thee to be smitten before thine enemies: thou shalt go out one way against them, and flee seven ways before them: and shalt be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth. And thy carcase shall be meat unto all fowls of the air, and unto the beasts of the earth, and no man shall fray them away. The LORD will smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the emerods, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed. The LORD shall smite thee with madness, and blindness, and astonishment of heart: And thou shalt grope at noonday, as the blind gropeth in darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways: and thou shalt be only oppressed and spoiled evermore, and no man shall save thee.
Thou shalt betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her: thou shalt build an house, and thou shalt not dwell therein: thou shalt plant a vineyard, and shalt not gather the grapes thereof.
Thou shalt carry much seed out into the field, and shalt gather but little in; for the locust shall consume it. .
If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, THE LORD THY GOD; Then the LORD will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance. Moreover he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt, which thou wast afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee.
Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, them will the LORD bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed. And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude; because thou wouldest not obey the voice of the LORD thy God. And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have none assurance of thy life:
(Deu 28:24-66)
I chopped some out........ But all these came on men for not obeying the law. Jesus took that punishment we deserved.
All these were curses from that law.
Good news though.
Gal 3:13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
Now read through all those curses in your bible, and find out what Jesus made us free from. Because we receive the blessings by faith now, that deliverance is by faith, not by works anymore.
Heb 6:12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them
who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
