Unbelief: The Enemy of Healing and Health

What are the badges of unbelief? The words “Yes, but!”; “What if?”; and “I can’t!”

 

1. Jesus in Nazareth could do no mighty works and marveled because of their unbelief.
2. Matthew 13:54-58

Matthew 13:58 Now He did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief (NKJV).

 

1. Mark 6:1-6

Mark 6:5 Now He could do no mighty work there, except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them.

6 And He marveled because of their unbelief. Then He went about the villages in a circuit, teaching (NKJV).

 

1. Jesus in Capernaum – the power was present to heal them, but only the paralytic was healed (Luke 5:17-26).

Luke 5:17 Now it happened on a certain day, as He was teaching, that there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting by, who had come out of every town of Galilee, Judea, and Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was present to heal them.

26 And they were all amazed, and they glorified God and were filled with fear, saying, “We have seen strange things today!” (NKJV).

 

III.            Jesus rebuked His disciples for their unbelief.

Matthew 17:14-21
14 And when they had come to the multitude, a man came to Him, kneeling down to Him and saying,

15 “Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is an epileptic and suffers severely; for he often falls into the fire and often into the water.

16 “So I brought him to Your disciples, but they could not cure him.”

17 Then Jesus answered and said, “O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him here to Me.”

18 And Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of him; and the child was cured from that very hour.

19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, “Why could we not cast it out?”

20 So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.

21 “However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting” (NKJV).
