Healing and Faith

You Shall Be Filled

By Jentezen Franklin

Our American diets are loaded with sugars, toxins, processed foods, meats, etc. Yet it is possible for us to be eating large meals, be overweight, and still be malnourished.

In Colbert’s book Toxic Relief, he states, “We may be actually starving from a nutritional standpoint, while at the same time becoming grossly obese…Sadly, we really are digging our graves with our forks and knives!”1

In that sense, it is easy to see how our physical lives again parallel our spiritual lives. We can become overnourished on a hefty diet of church programs and activities, religious structure, and traditions of men and yet be severely undernourished when it comes to the deeper things of God.

How to Recieve Your Miracle

Have you ever thought that it’s easier to believe God will work a miracle for someone else than to believe He’ll work one for you?

A woman wrote me not long ago and shared that she was a well-educated person who had made a large income—until her crack cocaine addiction ruined her life! She said that she “lived with crooks and collected aluminum cans to pay for her habit”! But one day she had a glorious, life-changing experience with God. He totally delivered her from drug addiction; restored her economic status tenfold; and gave her countless opportunities to witness for Christ!

This is a miracle, and your loving heavenly Father wants to give you miracles too! There is no such thing as a “hopeless” situation. Our Father God specializes in “impossible” situations and delights in giving us miracles. All we need to know is how to receive them!

Is Healing for Today's Christians?

By Sarah Bowling    

If someone says, "It’s not always God’s will to heal," let's look at Jesus’ ministry on earth. In John 5:19,20 and John 8:28,29, we see that Jesus only did what He saw the Father doing, and only said what the Father taught Him to say. In all of His ministry, He never made anyone sick. However, there are many examples that show Jesus healing people.

The one instance where He didn’t heal (Matthew 13:58) was due to the people’s lack of faith, not because it wasn’t His will. A second reason sometimes cited for not believing in healing is that "Healing died out with the apostles." Hebrews 13:8 states, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, and today, and for ever." To believe He has stopped healing is contrary to the Word. He is the Healer today, as in New Testament times.
