If the Word does not depart from before your eyes, you are bound to see yourself without sickness or disease. You will see yourself well. If, however, you do not imagine yourself as without sickness, then that Word has departed from before your eyes. And even though God wants to make health a reality in your life, He cannot, because you are not keeping His Word in the midst of your heart.

What is the difference between hope and faith? Hope always looks to the future. Faith is always NOW. Faith says, “I’ll receive the answer right now. I have it NOW.” It is not hoping that receives from God. It is BELIEVING. I’ve had many conversations over many decades with people who wanted healing. So often, they will say, “I know that someday I’ll be healed, or I sure hope I will be healed.” That is NOT faith. It is hope, because it is looking to the future.
