Julie stood on the stage, her Bible in hand. The church was silent, waiting for her to speak. Her words were always clear, never forced. She smiled gently and opened to John 14:10.

“Jesus said, ‘Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me?’ He didn’t take credit for the works done through Him. The Father in Him did it,” she said. Her voice carried conviction. “And what does that mean for us? The same power that worked through Jesus works in us.”

Julie paused, scanning the faces before her. “He that believeth in Jesus will do the works He did. That’s what the Bible says.” She raised the Bible, her fingers resting on the open page. “Do we believe that? Really believe it?”

The congregation nodded, some murmuring, “Amen.”

“God’s power hasn’t changed,” Julie continued. “He heals. All things are possible to those who believe. It doesn’t matter if it’s something you’ve had your whole life. It’s not bigger than God.”

A hand shot up in the middle of the room. Julie smiled. “We’ll get to that in a moment. First, let’s invite someone up who can testify to this truth.”

Chapter 2: A Testimony of Healing

A man stepped forward, limping slightly as he approached the stage. Julie gestured for him to speak.

“This is Mark,” she said, introducing him to the crowd. “He has something to share.”

Mark took the microphone. “I was born with a condition that made it hard for me to walk. For years, I thought I had to live with it. Then, one day, I heard Julie teaching on healing. She said, ‘You don’t have to accept what the world says. God does miracles.'”

He looked at Julie, then back at the congregation. “I believed. I didn’t feel anything at first, but I held onto that word. I kept declaring, ‘I am healed. I am the seed of Abraham.’ And slowly, I started getting better.”

The room was filled with a quiet awe.

Mark smiled. “Now, I can walk without pain. Not perfectly yet, but I’m on my way. God is healing me. I’m a living testimony that His word works.”

Julie nodded, her eyes shining with encouragement. “Thank you, Mark. That’s exactly it. The man believed the word that Jesus spoke, and his boy was healed. Faith activates the power of God. We must believe and not waver.”

Chapter 3: Andrew Joins

Julie’s husband, Andrew, walked up to the stage. He stood beside her, a calm presence. Andrew was a man of few words, but when he spoke, people listened.

He took the microphone. “Jesus told the man at the pool, ‘Rise, take up your bed, and walk.’ He didn’t say, ‘Be patient.’ He didn’t say, ‘Keep waiting.’ Jesus told him to act.”

Andrew’s voice was steady. “God’s healing isn’t about waiting endlessly. It’s about believing and receiving. We’ve seen it over and over. Julie and I have prayed with many, and when they believe, things change.”

He paused, letting his words settle in the hearts of those listening. “But it’s not just about saying the right words. It’s about knowing that God’s power is at work in you, just like it was in Jesus.”

Julie stepped forward again. “And that’s why we’re here. To teach you how to stand on God’s promises. It belongs to you. Healing is for the children of God.”

Chapter 4: The Lesson on Faith

Julie opened to Romans 12:1. “The Bible says, ‘Present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God.’ What does that mean? It means giving your body to God, trusting Him completely. He wants you whole, healthy.”

Andrew nodded. “That’s right. The condition of the sheep reflects the shepherd. If we’re not walking in health, what does that say about our Shepherd? God is a good Shepherd. His will is healing.”

Julie stepped forward again, her voice firm. “It’s not about earning healing. Jesus already paid the price. You are Abraham’s seed. Healing belongs to you. You just need to believe and receive.”

The congregation was silent, soaking in every word. Julie could feel their hearts opening to the truth.

“Let me remind you,” she said, “the enemy has no legal right to touch your body. When sickness comes, say, ‘No, not in my house.’ Jesus gave us authority over all the works of the enemy. Stand in that authority.”

Andrew added, “Don’t wait for someone else to do it for you. Take hold of the truth for yourself. It’s God’s power, not ours, but we have to activate it by faith.”

Chapter 5: A Call to Action

Julie stepped down from the pulpit and walked into the congregation. “God is here, right now. He wants to heal you, just like He healed Mark. Who needs healing today?”

Hands went up across the room. Julie and Andrew began praying for people, laying hands on them and declaring God’s promises over their lives.

“Remember what Jesus said,” Julie told one woman. “‘The Father in Me does the works.’ It’s not about striving. It’s about believing. God will do the work.”

As they moved through the room, Andrew reminded the people, “Faith isn’t complicated. It’s simply trusting that God’s word is true. Jesus never said, ‘Maybe.’ He said, ‘Rise and walk.'”

The atmosphere in the room shifted as people began to feel the presence of God. Some wept, others praised quietly, but everyone knew something was happening.

Julie and Andrew returned to the stage. Julie spoke one last time. “God is healing today. Just like Uncle Ernie, who got up after years of paralysis, you too can rise. Don’t leave here without believing that.”

Andrew finished with a prayer. “Lord, we thank You for Your healing power. Let these people walk in Your truth, and may Your word be alive in them.”

As they closed, the room was filled with hope. Julie smiled, knowing that seeds of faith had been planted. The church was learning to believe, and soon, they would see the fruits of that faith in their lives.
