God Still Does

“Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits, who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases,” (Psalm 103:2 ESV)

I believe God still heals today!

I believe a follower of Christ can claim God’s healing promises by faith and see people healed. But we don’t see much healing going on in churches today, and that’s unfortunate. It’s a tough, controversial subject to even discuss.

Don’t allow deception and fraud to stop you

There has always been deception and fraud regarding the subject of miracles and healing. It’s not new. Incidents of it were discussed in the Bible (Acts 19:15; Acts 13:6-7). And in today’s world, they are still active; fake faith healers and so-called miracle workers continuously give the issue a black eye. There are thousands of books written on the subject, both pro and con. No wonder so many churches completely throw out anything to do with it. Therefore, not many people are prayed for with complete faith for healing in today’s modern churches, and not many people are healed.  

Medically verified healings

When I was looking for positive examples of ministries where healings were medically verified. I decided to look for ones where the leaders weren’t personally enriched by their ministry. And also no longer alive, to view them strictly from a historical viewpoint to see their ministry’s results. The following are two ministries where healings happened often and were medically verified.

·      John G. Lake (March 18, 1870 - September 16, 1935) - Over 250,000 confirmed healings in a 10 year span. 1918 Spokane Washington reported to be the healthiest city in the U.S. He was so effective in his healing ministry that he literally closed down hospitals in Spokane.  

·      Reinhard Bonke (19 April 1940 – 7 December 2019), Christ for All Nations, was a German-American evangelist, and called “the Billy Graham of Africa” with over a million at a time attending his rallies. Thousands of confirmed healings.

Why pray for healing?

Because Jesus healed everyone who asked Him without fail. He rejected no one and He has not and will never change.

“Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever” (Heb. 13:8).  

Jesus said we’d do the same works He did

“Jesus said, ‘I tell you the truth, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father’.” (John 14:12 NLT)

“because as he is so also are we in this world.” (1 John 4:17b ESV)
