The healing power of God is inside of believers. On the inside of you is the healing that you need on your physical body. You may say, "How do I get it out on my body?" I'm glad you asked the question.
First Timothy 4:14 says, "Neglect not the gift that is in thee." Now, the word neglect I looked up means this: to ignore or to be careless of.
So, basically, it says, don't ignore the gift that's in you. Don't be careless about the gift that's in you. He said, neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.
In 2 Timothy 1:6, Paul is still writing to Timothy ; he says to stir up the gift, for God has not given us the spirit of fear but of power, love and a sound mind. Don't be afraid to access the gift that is within you.
Well, what gift is that? The Holy Ghost! And the Holy Ghost is the manifestation of God's healing power. There is no healing power in the earth that is apart from God. Healing comes from God. Healing power is God. When you're touched by God, you get healed.
So it is necessary to stir up. That's why we can't go to church and just shout all day. There is a time to shout, but there is also a time teach the word of God too. That way we will know what we're shouting about!
