How Healing Comes – Avenues #12 and #13 (continued)
I find the ministry of Jesus incredibly fascinating. There are 26 instances in the gospels where Jesus healed sick individuals (there were other mass healings). In all of the 26…
Telling Me Your Condition is Not a Lack of Faith
I want to revisit the healing of the blind man in Bethsaida (Bethesda) during Jesus ministry. This healing is described in Mark 8, 22 They came to Bethsaida, and some…
Why I Love Healing Rooms
