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…
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…
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…
You may be familiar with the account of the old woman Jesus healed, who had been bowed over for eighteen years. Here’s the account, beginning in Luke 13: Luke 13:10 On a Sabbath Jesus was teaching in one of the…

You really have to wonder sometimes...if God was not interested in healing, if He didn't have the willingness to heal today, someone forgot to tell Jesus.

Someone also forgot to tell the apostles, because they just continued doing what Jesus did. One interesting thing is that I count 26 times where Jesus healed individuals in the gospels
