Health, wealth and happiness
Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.
3 John 2 - NKJV
Faith is not a universal remedy. There are some things faith isn't designed to do. Yes, I know Jesus said, "All things are possible to him who believes" but that doesn't equal "Faith makes all things happen". What does faith do? Faith connects us with God and brings us into His presence. Faith released by words moves mountains. Faith certifies our right to God's provision. Faith gives vision of things unseen by natural senses. Faith works where God's love is in operation.
What if you've focused your faith on a need and it still isn't happening! Well listen, faith alone doesn't pertain to life and godliness. For that you need the "all things" of God - see 2 Peter 1:3. For example, Let's say you want change in your home life and family relationships. Can faith alone focused on it get you the change you need? No, but love, grace and God's Spirit can! Likewise, can faith alone focused on your body bring healing? No, but Christ by His Spirit, His anointing and His word can.
The Bible verse at the top gives us some valuable information about health. It connects our physical health with the well-being of our soul. In God seek the best of well-being for your soul (your mind, emotions and will) and in tow, immediately behind it, will come improving health to your body. In the Bible you can read teaching on bringing your soul into well-being. Read Matthew 11:28-30 and Philippians 4:6-7. If possible, study those Bible passages in The Message (Eugene Peterson's) translation of the Bible.
Come to Jesus for prosperity of soul!
