Patterns in Jesus’ Healings
In the Gospels of the New Testament, Jesus is performed many healings and miracles, including curing people of various diseases and disabilities. It is interesting to think about patterns demonstrated in His healings. Some patterns that can be observed in these accounts include: Jesus often healed people who were considered outcasts or marginalized by society, such as lepers...
We will pray for you – this is how it works…
For a while, OK, for a long while, I have had a leading to minister healing to any who stumble across this blog and like so many out there, desire personal ministry for healing. Now is the time. A small team and I are now willing to pray over the phone for anyone who is sick or oppressed – free of charge (that part is important to say…) However, like any working system,...
God in the Prenatal Emergency Room
We just had our baby girl last week, really, a gift from God. However, it was not uneventful and now that she’s here, perfectly healthy, this is a good time to talk about it. Yes, there’s a time to speak and there’s also a time to be silent. Now is a great time to speak. Halfway into my wife’s pregnancy, we had an emergency with the baby in the form...
OK, God Heals Whiplash Too
It certainly has been a while since I posted here, but that’s what having a toddler will do. A true blessing from God who I’m doing my best to raise in the nurture and admonition of the Word.

Author: Pastor Nathan Beauchamp (www.greaterchicagochurch.com) Last Sunday a lovely woman stood on the blue carpeting of our church stage. Nervous, her hands slightly shaky as she clutched her notes against her chest, she waited for the senior pastor to finish introducing her to the congregation. She didn’t need much of an introduction as most of us have known Sharon for...
What About Partial Healing? (Part 2 of 2)
Continued from Part 1 –> We earlier looked at the account of Jesus’ healing in Mark 8; 22 They came to Bethsaida, and some people brought a blind man and begged Jesus to touch him. 23 He took the blind man by the hand and led him outside the village. When he had spit on the man’s eyes and put his hands on him, Jesus asked, “Do you see anything?” 24 He looked...
What About Partial Healing? (Part 1)
Partial healing can be a stumbling block for many in the healing ministry. It is a complex subject for many reasons. Some ask, “If God is healing and He has all power, why doesn’t He do it completely?” Others get discouraged when they see those they pray for receive only partial relief, and in some cases, lose even that which they received. Now, as usual there...
