“See It as Done: Faith for Healing”
Date: June 7, 2025
In the realm of divine healing, one of the most critical elements is the decision to believe that what God has promised is not only possible, but that it has already been accomplished in the spirit realm. This act of faith is not just wishful thinking; it is rooted in the unshakable truth of God’s Word. Hebrews 11:1 defines faith as “the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” This means that faith sees the answer before the physical senses confirm it.
Chronic illnesses like chronic pancreatitis can challenge this faith because the symptoms are ongoing and often severe. Chronic pancreatitis, a condition where the pancreas becomes permanently damaged from inflammation, differs from the temporary swelling of acute pancreatitis. Sufferers often endure repeated episodes of severe abdominal pain, a reality that can seem to overshadow the promises of healing in God’s Word.
Yet Jesus, our Healer, invites us to see beyond what our physical bodies feel and to choose to believe His Word. In Mark 11:24, He says, “Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.” Notice the sequence: believe you have received—before you see the physical evidence. This is the heart of faith.
Seeing the Healing in Your Imagination
God created us with a powerful imagination, not to be used for vain daydreaming, but as a tool to cooperate with His promises. Proverbs 23:7 says, “As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.” This is why the Bible urges us to renew our minds and to meditate on God’s truth (Romans 12:2; Joshua 1:8).
When we face chronic conditions like chronic pancreatitis, we are not denying the reality of the disease or its symptoms. We acknowledge them, but we refuse to let them have the final say. Instead, we choose to fix our imagination on the Word of God, picturing ourselves as already healed because of Jesus’ finished work on the cross. Isaiah 53:5 declares, “By His stripes, we are healed.”
Consider how Jesus ministered healing in the Gospels. In John 5:5-9, a man who had been sick for 38 years lay by the pool of Bethesda. When Jesus said, “Rise, take up your mat and walk,” He didn’t offer a detailed plan or a medical explanation—He spoke a faith-filled command. The man had to choose to see himself walking before he felt his legs respond. His healing began when he believed what Jesus said and acted as if it had already happened.
The Power of Speaking and Acting in Faith
Romans 4:17-21 reveals Abraham’s journey of faith. God called him the father of many nations before he had any children. Abraham chose to believe “who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did” (v.17). Even though his body and Sarah’s womb were as good as dead, he grew strong in faith by giving glory to God, fully convinced that what God had promised, He was able to perform.
This principle applies to your healing today. You may be experiencing chronic pancreatitis, with its severe and repeated abdominal pain, but God’s promise remains: “I am the Lord who heals you” (Exodus 15:26). When you choose to believe that God’s healing power has already been released in your body, your confession changes. Instead of saying, “I’m so sick,” you begin to say, “Thank You, Lord, that by Your stripes I am healed.”
Healing Commands and Their Simplicity
Jesus’ commands for healing were simple and direct, such as “Be cleansed” (Mark 1:41), “Rise up and walk” (John 5:8), and “Be opened” (Mark 7:34). They were not elaborate or dramatic; they were straightforward and faith-filled. This demonstrates that healing is not about using the right words or spiritual formulas; it is about agreeing with what God has already done through Jesus.
In the same way, speak to your pancreas in Jesus’ name. Command it to be healed and to function normally. Command the inflammation to leave and the pain to stop. Say out loud, “In the name of Jesus, I speak life to my pancreas. I see it healthy, restored, and free from chronic inflammation. Thank You, Lord, that it is done.”
Guarding Your Imagination
One of the greatest challenges in maintaining this vision of healing is the battle in your mind. Chronic symptoms can be so persistent that they demand your attention, but Colossians 3:2 says, “Set your mind on things above, not on earthly things.” When thoughts of doubt and discouragement come, counter them with the truth of God’s Word.
For example, if your symptoms flare up and pain grips your body, don’t focus on the pain. Instead, close your eyes and see yourself whole and pain-free. Picture your pancreas as healthy, without inflammation or damage. Use your imagination as a canvas to paint the picture of what God’s Word says is already yours.
Corporate Faith and the Power of Agreement
There is also power in corporate faith. Jesus sent His disciples out in pairs (Luke 10:1), and He said in Matthew 18:19, “If two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven.” If you’re struggling to maintain your faith vision alone, find a trusted friend or church leader to agree with you in prayer.
The local church is meant to be a healing community—a place where the glory of God is released as we pray for and encourage one another. Don’t isolate yourself in your battle against chronic pancreatitis or any other disease. Reach out to your spiritual family for agreement and support.
Letting the Holy Spirit Lead
Finally, remember that the Holy Spirit is your Helper and Guide. John 16:13 says He will guide you into all truth. In each moment of discouragement or pain, ask Him to strengthen your faith and to remind you of what God has already promised. He will also reveal any specific steps of obedience you need to take—whether that’s adjusting your lifestyle, changing your confession, or simply resting in His love.
Conclusion: Believe and Receive
Faith does not deny the existence of chronic pancreatitis or the severity of its symptoms. Instead, faith looks beyond them to the eternal truth of God’s Word. It chooses to believe that healing is not just possible—it is already accomplished in Jesus. It chooses to see the answer, speak the answer, and act like it’s done.
As you stand in faith for your healing, keep your mind fixed on Jesus, who is the Author and Finisher of your faith (Hebrews 12:2). Trust that He is faithful to complete what He has begun in you (Philippians 1:6). Let this be your declaration: “By His stripes, I am healed. I see it, I believe it, and I receive it—now!”
May God’s Word strengthen your vision, and may His healing power flood your body today. Amen.
