Spiritual Gifts/Healing

     God has the power to heal the emotional and the physical. It is up to Him. The gift of healing is given to those who have a heart to heal. This group understands whether there is a physical or emotional issue. They believe in the supernatural power of God’s healing and listen for His timing and pray for His intervention.

     There are two common schools of thought on God’s healing. One is that God always heals if we have enough faith and the other is that miraculous healing stopped after the apostolic age. Both are in error. I am sure all of us have heard and possibly witnessed miraculous healings over our lifetimes. We won’t understand all of the ways of our Heavenly Fahter until we are united with Him in heaven.

     The bible is clear. We are to pray for one another and believe in the power of that prayer. We also know we need to pray for God’s will to be done. Jesus asked for the cup of suffering to be taken away from Him as He prayed in the garden of Gethsemane. And then He prayed for God’s will to be done. Suffering and dying on the cross brought about the salvation of man.

     Those with the gift of healing may have hospital ministries, or hospice ministries. They have a calming influence and power in the laying on of hands. They bring God’s peace and healing power with them wherever they go, trusting in the power of God to be revealed in many different ways including real physical healing, release from demonic activity and healing of emotional wounds.  Keep praying and believing.

Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them pray. Is anyone happy? Let them sing songs of praise. Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord.  James 5;13-14

Dear Father,
We praise You for the healing hands that offer Your peace, and Your power and a belief in prayer. You are the One we turn to in every area of our lives and we trust You.
In Jesus name,

Amen

  1. IS IT POSSIBLE TO BE A CHRISTIAN EVOLUTIONIST? BY STEVE FINNELL

    According to a 2013 survey by the Pew Research Center 27% of white evangelical Protestants, 68% of white Catholics and 78% of white mainline Protestants believe that humans have evolved over time.

    Is it possible to be a Christian evolutionist? How is that possible?

    God is either the creator of all things or a human evolutionists. He is not both.

    Genesis 1:26-27 Then God said , "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness.......27 So God created man in His own image...(NKJV)

    God did not say let man evolve into His own image.

    Matthew 19:4 And He answered and said to them, "Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning 'made them male and female." (NKJV)

    Jesus said, male and female were made at the beginning. Male and female did not evolve, they were created.

    Some who claim to be Christians, say that the Genesis account of creation is allegorical or mythical. Is Matthew 19:4 allegorical and mythical as well?

    Others claim to believe in theistic evolution. God is either creator of all things or a humanist evolutionist, God is not both.


    IS IT POSSIBLE TO BE CHRISTIAN AND AN EVOLUTIONISTS? GOOD LUCK WITH THAT!
