I had to tell you about this EXCITING story I read that you can use to help get healed of KP. I shared the article with a friend of mine who has KP and she was thrilled with the information and immediately embraced the plan.
It was a magazine article titled, "Focused Believing Action." I'll share some highlights from the article with you:
"God wants to meet our need and to give us the desires of our heart according to His Word. [the Bible] He only asks that we believe. Psalm 21:2 says, Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips...
There are many examples throughout the Word that show God's people diligently focusing their believing action on a promise of God and receiving deliverance."
Once example cited was as follows:
"...that of the woman with the issue of blood in Mark 5. It is a wonderful example of keys to understanding the principle of focused believing action. It should encourage anyone who has a great need or yearning heart's desire because this woman had both.
Mark 5:25, 26 KJV
And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,
And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse.
She would have been aware of Jesus Christ's ministry because he had been preaching, teaching and performing miraculous healings.
To add to her physical suffering, her disease also brought her great mental distress, because the Old Testament law required that a woman with an issue of blood be separated out as unclean. Even her family would not have been able to touch her without becoming unclean. (Leviticus 15:19, 25)
She had seen no results in her search for help and had continued to grow worse. Despite her physical weakness, she kept pressing forward, doing the best that she knew to do. this had become her habit, her heart. She was without funds, but not without believing.
Mark 5:27 KJV
When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press [crowd] behind, and touched his garment.
She could have made excuses to not consider that this was her opportunity to be delivered. She was weak and sick, but she did not make excuses and stay at home feeling sorry for herself. When she found Jesus and saw the crowd pressing upon him, she would have had to work her way through the crowd to get to him. This would have required tremendous effort. Here was another tremendous temptation for her to faint in her thinking. But she was focused on the yearning desire of her heart, determined to overcome any obstacle.
Mark 5:38 KJV
For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.
Look at her positive and bold confession. She was believing to receive total deliverance. She said, "I shall be whole." In the Matthew 9 account of this same incident, the words 'within herself': are added.
Matthew 9:21 KJV
For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.
Instead of giving way to negative thoughts that would have undermined her believing, she confessed health and wholeness. Her thoughts, confession, and action were not riveted on her problem, but on the solution. she kept saying to herself the promise, 'If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole. If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.' This was the fuel of her forward movement, her confession of belief that would yield receipt of confession.
The Gospels do not say the woman was quoting scripture to herself, but they do indicate that she was repeating to herself what she believed God was making available to her. Matthew 9:21 The Amplified Bible
For she kep saying to herself, If I only touch his garment, I shall be restored to health.
Mark 5:29, 34 KJV
And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healded of that plague.
And he [Jesus Christ] said unto her, Daughter, thy faith [believing] hath made thee whole...
This woman had been in need of healing for twelve years. However, when she "heard of Jesus" she focused with clearness and concern on the promise of God, taking whatever action she knew to take. The result was she believed to receive and was totally delivered."
This promise is applicable today:
III John 2a
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health...
I'll keep you posted on the progress.
