Introduction
Although I dont know everything there is to know about healing, I have grown a lot in this area, and consider it to be a real strength in my life. In fact, its now been almost forty years since Ive had sickness win in my body. That doesnt mean Ive never had a problem. Along the way, Ive had things attack me. One time, while I was making radio programs, all of the symptoms of the flu hit me. My sinuses stopped up, my nose ran, and I began to have aches, chills, and feverall within a very short period of time. It took me about an hour praying over it, but then it was gone.
Probably one of the worst sicknesses thats come against me these past forty years was the time I returned home from England and went right to work on my pond. Although Id gone thirty-four hours without sleep, something had happened with the drain in the pond I was building on my property, so I had to attend to it immediately. Standing chest deep in cold water and working for about six hours while I was so weak, tired, and depleted was not smart on my part. Soon my nose began to run and my ears plugged up, yet I was able to overcome that runny nose in just about a days time. Although it took me a couple of days to get my ears unplugged, an outside observer probably wouldnt have been able to tell that anything had occurred.
Thats the worst illness that I can remember dealing with in almost forty years. At the very beginning of this period of time, I was actually diagnosed with an incurable disease. However, within three days that same doctor pronounced me whole because I had received prayer and healing. So Ive seen God heal me of a number of things.
Healing is a strength in my life. These truths I share in this book are working for me, and have been for decades. Even though I dont understand everything there is to understand about healing, I know more than Ill be able to talk about in this message. Please refer to the Recommended Teachings section for additional resources that will complement and expand on the truths contained here. My purpose in this book isnt to teach healing in an exhaustive manner, but to lay a firm foundation.
How About You?
You need to consider the truths of Gods Word contained in this book. Although Ive personally walked in divine health for a long time, its not because nothing has ever happened to me. Ive been hurt, had accidents, and been attacked by sickness. Ive had problems, but Ive overcome themand Ive seen good health manifest in my own physical body for decades.
Ive also ministered healing to multitudes of others. Ive seen the blind receive sight. This includes both partially blind eyes that improved and totally blind eyesthat couldnt even perceive lightopened. Ive seen both totally and partially deaf people hear. I remember praying for people whose eardrums had deteriorated, or had even been surgically removed. God restored their hearing. Ive seen individuals who couldnt even talk because their larynx was gone receive a miracle and start speaking in tongues. Ive seen thousands of people healed of arthritis and all kinds of pain. One man had a metal rod in his back that made him stand up straight. It was physically impossible for him to bend over, yet he received healing and bent over just fine. Ive seen deformities healed, diseases cured, and people come out of wheelchairs.
Ive personally seen three people raised from the dead, including my own son. Hed been dead for almost five hours, and had already turned black. His toe was tagged and he was lying on a slab in the hospital morgue, but the Lord raised him upglory to His name!
I dont share any of this to promote myself. Im still learning about healing. There have beenand still aretimes when I pray for people and they arent healed. But Im getting better results today than ever before. I havent arrived, but Ive left, and Ive learned some important truths along the way.
How about you? Are you consistently walking in divine health? Are the people you pray for regularly healed? If not, then you ought to seriously consider the truths Im sharing.
Gods Word Works
Please dont mistake my confidence for arrogance, but this is an area of my life where I've seen results. Ive personally ministered to probably hundreds of thousands of people. Ive trained others and seen these truths work for them. A lot of ministers have told me how receiving a revelation of these same truths has enabled them to see many people they have prayed for healed. Some of these ministers have seen nearly every single individual they prayed for healed, including multiple people raised from the dead. Gods Word works!
I may not have it all figured out, but I know Im going in the right direction. Ive seen the power of God work again and again. If youre prejudiced against healing and refuse to consider what the Word says, I probably wont be able to help you. But if you genuinely desire to know about the divine healing that is available through the Lord Jesus Christ and faith in what Hes done, this book could literally change your life. At the very least, these truths can bring you to a level of success and victory in this area of healing equal to what God has given me. Again, I dont claim to have arrived, but healing is manifesting itself in my lifenot only just for me, but also for the people to whom Ive been ministering.
As you humble yourself to receive Gods Word, I believe these truths will really help you too.
Chapter 1: Miracles Confirm Gods Word
Many people criticize me for emphasizing healing. They say, This isnt important. You dont have to be healed to go to heaven. You shouldnt spend any of your time on radio, television, or in print emphasizing healing. Its a secondary issue. Youre making it greater than it is.
One of the radio stations my program is broadcast on forwarded me a letter awhile back from a man who threatened to take legal action against me. Basically, he said, Its a big sin for you to take peoples money, which is hard to come by, and preach something like healing! This fellow was one of many people who contend that its a waste of time to talk about healing. I strongly disagree.
Healing is part of Christs atonement. If Jesus died to provide healing for us, then its not just incidental. If the Lord suffered and took stripes on His back for our physical healing, then its not insignificant. If Jesus thought enough of healing to purchase it for us, then we ought to think enough of it to receive.
God the Father caused His Son to bear all of our sins and all of our sicknesses on the cross. Jesus took our diseases just as much as He took our sins. Therefore, it honors Him to promote healing. In fact, Jesus spent more time talking about healing than He did several other truths that many people consider to be essential issues todayheaven and hell in particular. Actually, the Lord used healing like a bell to get peoples attention and to prove that He did have power on earth to forgive sins. Many scriptural examples illustrate this.
