God wants to heal you! God wants to give you the miracle you’ve prayed for, believed for, hoped for, declared and are expecting to see manifest in your body. He is the God of miracles even if you’ve been standing in faith for a long time.
Oftentimes, when we see someone receive a miracle, we think it’s instantaneous. But typically, what we see has happened after someone has cultivated their miracle, meaning they have spent time hungering for God, feeding on His Word, and stoking the fires of their faith with His promises. They have done this by listening to faith-filled teaching and then putting what they’ve learned into practice. They have spent time in God’s Word, reading it and studying it, to build their faith in Him and His power. They have petitioned God in faith, praying God’s promises and declaring His Word. They have spent time reading all the healing miracles in the Bible, and they have done all this to grow their expectancy of the miracle they want to receive.
When we make Jesus the Lord of our lives, we become the temple of the Holy Spirit. God lives on the inside of us, and we carry the presence of God everywhere we go; but how much we experience that presence in our daily lives is up to us. And that directly affects our receiving everything THE BLESSING provides for us, including healing and miracles. We determine if we walk by faith, expecting our miracle. We have the power to cultivate our miracle.
Cultivate Is an Agricultural Term
The primary way we determine if we’re ready for a miracle is by how much time we’ve spent cultivating that miracle. To cultivate is an agricultural term. According to Webster’s dictionary, it means “to prepare and use for the raising of crops.” It’s also “to foster the growth of” something. Just like a farmer cultivates his fields and rotates the use of them for maximum yields, so we’re to cultivate our faith. We’re to allow the Holy Spirit to work the soil of our hearts by continually exposing ourselves to God’s Word, His presence, prayer, teaching, preaching and worship. We’re to continually grow as a believer so that the seed of God’s Word can grow. This keeps us in a place where we can receive our miracle.
Spend time with God, daily seeking His WORD over your circumstances so you can practice confessions that allow faith to work in your life. With God, all things are possible (Matthew 19:26). Don’t let time discourage your faith. Don’t let what others say discourage you. Believe in complete healing and restoration, and continue to grow in faith. Dare to expect your miracle!
Borrow Some Faith
When we practice growing our faith, it increases organically, but sometimes, that’s not enough to receive our miracle. That’s why we ask for prayer. That’s why we invite others to lay hands on us. That’s why we go to services where miracles are happening. We get into an atmosphere of faith and miracles, where others can believe with us—where they can release their faith and help us receive.
In essence, we’re borrowing other people’s faith—and that’s a good thing. In 2 Kings 6:1-7, we see this principle. As men were chopping down trees, one man’s axe fell into the river. When Elisha arrived, the man asked Elisha to help him, as it was a borrowed axe. “‘Where did it fall?’ the man of God asked. When he was shown the place, Elisha cut a stick and threw it into the water at that spot. Then the axe head floated to the surface. ‘Grab it,’ Elisha said. And the man reached out and grabbed it” (2 Kings 6:6). The man needed to get the axe head back to its rightful owner, and Elisha had the faith to retrieve it. The man needed Elisha’s faith.
Sometimes we need some borrowed faith to get the job done, too. After all, it’s the anointing that breaks the yoke (Isaiah 10:27). It’s the blood of Jesus that heals us, whether we receive our healing alone at home, or in a room full of people releasing their faith with us!

Declare Your Healing Miracle
God wants to heal you! He wants to give you the miracle you need. Keep cultivating your faith. Keep increasing your capacity to believe that you receive. To help you keep cultivating your miracle, use this declaration Pastor Billy spoke to the people at EMIC, and let it work in you.
Holy Spirit, I’m attracted to You. You’re like a magnet for the anointing, for the presence of God, both which I need for healing in my body. I need more of You and less of me. I need more of You to be who I’m to be and to do what I’m supposed to do. I believe for a greater glory to come into my life. Heal me and I’ll be healed. Strengthen me and I’ll be strengthened. Put Your hands on me and I’ll receive the healing of the Holy Spirit. I receive it now in my cells, in my bones, in my organs, all throughout my body. I believe that my healing will show in the blood work, in the X-rays, in the scans to come. I am a miracle!
