How Healing Comes – Avenue #4
Jesus used this approach to healing as much as any other-the laying on of hands. The last chapter in the Book of Mark gives us the Great Commission, in Mark 16: 15 He said to them, “Go into all the…

How Healing Comes – Avenue #3 (continued)
The power of words, or declaration, is one of the most effective means of obtaining healing. It is not surprising since Jesus Himself is the Living Word. In John 1:1 it states: In the beginning was the Word, and the…
How Healing Comes – Avenue #3
Earlier, I said there were 16 avenues of divine healing found in the Word. The third avenue of healing found in the Bible is through “declaration’: This can be found in mark 11:24: “I tell you the truth, if anyone…
How Healing Comes – Avenue #2
I’ll continue to the second avenue by which God heals today. This is by anointing with oil by believing elders of the church. James 5:14-16 says: 14 Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the…
How Healing Comes – Avenue #1 (continued)

Thank God for doctors..
“Yes”, he said, “it’s broken all right”. The wrist surgeon took another look at the MRI against the bright light overhead and nodded, “you’ll need surgery for this.” I sighed, “let me guess, it’s the triangular fibrocartilage complex, right?” He…
Parking Lot Healings (I know, not in church…)
I carved away at my steak as I simultaneously made conversation with a new friend at a restaurant. As we chatted about this and that, I noticed she would shift her position every few seconds, it seemed. After some time,…
Healing in an instant of time…
“Hi, how are you?” came the voice over the telephone. A few seconds back, I’d been sitting at my computer, trying to write a complex computer program and quite oblivious to the world. Now the voice of a friend of…
