Community Unbelief - Audio

In this session, Justin Goff discusses the concept of community unbelief and its impact on healing, emphasizing the importance of faith in God's will to heal. He examines scriptural references, particularly from 1 Thessalonians and Mark, to highlight how familiarity can lead to offense and limit the power of God. The message encourages viewers to remain open to faith and healing regardless of their community's beliefs, stressing the power of the Word and the necessity to look past the flesh of the messenger to receive healing from God.

KEY POINTS:
Foundation of Faith
The session begins by establishing that faith for healing comes from hearing the Word of God on that subject. This foundational principle is crucial for believers to receive healing, highlighting that doubt can be an obstacle that believers need to overcome.

The Power of the Word
Justin discusses how the reception of God's Word as truth directly influences its effectiveness in a believer's life. He stresses that it isn't the presentation or the presenter that carries power but the Word itself when believed and trusted.

Community Unbelief
Mark 6 illustrates the concept of community unbelief, which can stifle the ability for miracles to occur. Familiarity with a messenger can lead to offense and hinder receptiveness to divine healing.

Effects of Familiarity
Familiarity with God's messengers can lead to offense, reducing the effectiveness of their ministries. This is contrasted with environments where people are not familiar with the messenger, which fosters expectation and openness to miracles.

Spiritual Leadership and Faith
Spiritual leaders can inadvertently create cultures of unbelief through their teachings and attitudes. Communities can succumb to doubt based on false doctrines about healing, negatively impacting their faith.

Active Faith and Healing
Believers should actively seek healing and maintain hope. We emphasize that faith should rise, challenging negative narratives about healing and instead, embracing the Biblical promise of healing for believers.
