8:40-50).
    The woman’s testimony was needed because Jesus wanted Jairus to hear it and have faith for something specific. Although believing that He is the Messiah is important, it wasn’t the thing He was after. He didn’t want Jairus to believe that God heals some people or that He raises some people from the dead. He wanted Jairus to believe without a doubt that
his
daughter would be raised from the dead. Notice that Jesus said the girl would be made well,
if
he believed. The faith Jairus needed to see his daughter resurrected was specific to his daughter and her condition. And this is the kind of faith we need for healing the sick.
    When I began praying with people for healing, I seldom expected any of them to be healed. I believed that God wanted to heal some people and some conditions but I didn’t believe He wanted to heal all of them and I thought the person I was praying with wouldn’t be healed. I had a lot of doubts. Those doubts involved either the person I was praying with or the condition I was praying for.
    I doubted that God wanted to heal everyone and in fact, I believed He would heal just about anyone except the person I was praying with. Because I didn’t know that God wanted to heal everyone, my faith was generalized to
some
people, but not
specific
to the one I was praying with. So when I prayed with specific people, my doubts surfaced and I imagined them not being healed. My specific doubts destroyed my generalized faith and no one was healed.
    After six months of fruitless attempts at healing, I realized I had to change some things. I noticed that Todd White commanded healing instead of asking God to heal and it worked well. Here’s an issue we need to consider. Has it ever occurred to you that when we beg God for healing, we believe that we are more compassionate than He is?
    I changed my approach and started to command healing and as soon as I did, I saw people healed – often they were healed instantly. I saw lots of success with torn rotator cuffs, as well as carpal tunnel syndrome. Seeing one person after another miraculously healed, it became easier to approach these two conditions with more confidence. After only a few more months I’d seen dozens of people healed with a success rate of around 90 percent. Because of that success, I began to believe (I had confidence) that God would actually heal everyone I prayed with who had one of these two conditions. My faith, which was generalized until then, became very specific. There were certain people with certain conditions that I knew in my heart, without any doubt God was going to heal. It was at this point that before praying with people, I told them they would be healed. Something had changed in my mind that led to greater confidence and better results. I’d like to explain how those changes occurred.
    I began with a
generalized
faith about healing. My general belief was that God wanted to heal
some
people of
some
conditions. This faith was weakened by
specific
doubts. I doubted that God wanted to heal a
specific
person of a
specific
condition through
my
prayers.
    Eventually, a few people were healed. As I saw more people healed, my generalized faith became specific. I had confidence (faith) that
some
of the people I prayed with would be healed, though not all. I had also more faith for some conditions than others. My doubt about specific conditions was also being removed. And my faith for just about every type of condition was greater than it had been.
    As I began praying for people with neurological disorders like Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis, and ALS (Lou Gehrig’s) I found that I had little faith. Over time, my confidence began to grow and I began to see changes in some of those people as well. The same is true for cancer. Like many of us, my confidence for seeing cancer healed was small.
    I saw cancer as a stronger adversary, for some reason. But as I prayed with more cancer patients and saw some of them healed, my confidence
