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…
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…
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…
I’d like to continue in the vein of the last post for a little longer. I have seen over many years in prayer and healing ministry the tendency of most people towards skepticism of the unseen. Let me explain. We…

Frequently, I like to ask my friends or people I meet the question: “when was the last time you heard a complete sermon on healing, miracles, or gifts of the Holy Spirit?”. If you’re mulling over your response right now,…
It must be obvious to even the casual reader that I have more than a passing interest in the matter of divine healing. It occupies a lot of my waking thoughts and I’ve been involved in many different healing or…
I shared a little while back one of the reasons we have a marked lack of healings in our churches. There are many actually, but I want to focus on one today that is significant at both the individual and…
