Wow since changing this journal.. I got stats of over 400 people 15th Oct!!

I KNOW many need healing.. the field is ripe for harvest!!

I visit and spend time on Foru.ms healing ministry.. now the section is not the most active part.. which when I first found it troubled me..

Why when so many need healing is it not a thriving place.. What I am finding is.. most people don't believe God heals today.. They know He can.. but they don't know that He wills it.. There is also a fear about it.. People fear that we cannot ask.. and expect God to answer us.. That we cannot know what God desires for us..

I started posting there.. Encouraging people as I love to do.. Posting articles there on healing.. praying.. which when I first started.. was actually not wanted?? It was supposed to be only a discussion forum and all prayers were directed to prayer ministry.. Well after much persistance.. the mods there kindly let me pray in the healing section.

There still isn't that much activity there.. BUT we have had another healing praise God which really really encourages me.. Yesterday a member came back after months of posting a prayer request and told us the one she asked prayer for Lymes Disease for another person.. her Pastor.. and he is well and she thanked us for praying!!

Some scriptural testimonies of Divine healing ~ I got this from the foru.ms

Job: his sickness was removed when he saw his sin and repented. (Job 42:5-6)
sin

Israel and the Brazen Serpent
Israel murmured in the wilderness between Egypt and the Promised Land, and God gave Israel something to murmur about. He sent "fiery serpents among the people, ... and much people of Israel died. (Numbers 21:6)
complaint

Naaman, the Leper
Naaman classicinstance ofdisease. Leprosy typifies the effect of sin destroying the body. (2 Kings 5)
pride-self will

King Hezekiah
(2 Kings 20)
prayer of faith and annointing oil - anything else is disobedience

Healing of Peter's Mother-in-law
The Lord rebuked the fever (Luke 4:39) implies Lord recognized it as more than ordinary fever. Jesus would not rebuke a mere natural law. There is no blame where there is no personal will.
personal will

The Nobleman's son
This one speaks pecularily to our times.This one teaches us we don't need the physical and visual presence of the Lord. John 4 46-53)
We must count the death-blow struck at the moment of belief and then follow on as it works through.

The Healing of the Multitude
Jesus Himself takes our infirmites, bares them, lifts them up and carries them. (Matthew 8:16)
universality of Jesus healing, not just for favored ones. He Himself is the Healer. He not only lifted them once but twice and still carries them!

Jesus IS the Blessed Healer!
