Other people have tried that faith stuff, and it did work. They are up from their deathbeds, out of their wheelchairs, off of their crutches, healed of their allergies, and free from their tumors. Their blind eyes now see and their deaf ears now hear. Their incurable and terminal illnesses have vanished without a trace. It's too late to convince them that faith doesn't work.

No one with any sense could take this objection seriously. Mature Christians know that you only prove doctrine through the Bible, not through people's experiences. For every sad-sack sickness saga you can relate, I could recite a glorious healing testimony. We could go back and forth for a month and still be no closer to proving anything. After all, there are healing testimonies in some cults, too. Can you see the futility of determining doctrine from experience?


If you want to convince us that faith doesn't work, you must prove it from the Bible. You must find a way to explain away all the healing miracles in the New Testament, especially the ones that Jesus attributed to people's faith. You must prove that Jesus was wrong when he said that "whosoever" can speak to physical things and receive by faith. You must prove that there is some reason why your faith cannot make you whole today, when the faith of many in the Gospels made them whole back then. You will have to explain away all of Jesus' teachings on faith.

Should we accept Jesus' word that if you have faith as a mustard seed, nothing shall be impossible to you, or your word that even if you have great faith, healing can be impossible to you? Should we accept Jesus' word that anyone can move mountains with his faith, or your word that this faith stuff doesn't work for everyone? Do we take Jesus' word that all things are possible to him who believes, or your word that some things are impossible to him who believes? Do we take Jesus' word that with God, all things are possible, or your word that with God, not all things are possible?


If you really tried that faith stuff, that means that you knew from Scripture that God wants you to be in health. If you were really in faith, you must have had Scripture to back you up. Real faith can only come from hearing God's Word on a subject. So now, if you claim that faith doesn't work, you must somehow prove that those Scriptures don't really promise you what you were sure that they promised you. Otherwise, we'll have to conclude that faith does work, but you weren't really in faith. Or perhaps you knew some things about faith, but you were in unforgiveness, or you were walking out of love, or you allowed some other hindrance to creep in.

If you are willing to admit that faith does work, you can read this book and hear the Word about healing. Then you can really get in faith and receive your healing. If you claim to have a Scriptural reason why healing is not for all, you can go back to the objections list and click your pet reason why healing is not for all today. Then you can see why your pet reason is wrong. If you are willing to admit that you are wrong, God is ready to heal you. Then you can testify to others, "I tried that faith stuff, and it works! Let me tell you how you can do it, too!"
