Supernatural Healing

Have you or someone you loved ever been terminally ill? If not, you may not have really thought about the issue of supernatural healing. But one day you will ask the question, “Does God still heal?”

I was diagnosed with terminal cancer years back. The story can be read here. Another time, my dad was diagnosed with leukemia and admitted to a hospital for treatment only to find nothing unhealthy to treat. He was immediately released. Another friend’s child had brain tumors that mysteriously disappeared. Yet, sometimes the most perfect of healings is not found here on earth.

This brings us to the significance of today. One friend has an undiagnosed illness. Another friend has a growth in an area you really don’t want to visualize. Another new friend is waiting for a kidney donor. I take a generic purple pill for GIRD. I’m sure you have something you can add to the list.

Likely, we all want healed. Many of us have asked for God’s supernatural healing hand. Yet, we still find ourselves sick. Personally, there has been a super sensitized interest in healing the last few weeks. I believe it to be a God thing. Anyway, I am treating it as such. Maybe God wants to work and I need to figure out how to either get out of the way or get in the middle of what God has planned?

To that end, I and my friends are praying for healing and studying on the issue of belief and faith. What is belief? What is faith? What is the relationship between the two? We want to know and appreciate a better understanding of how God works in supernatural healings.

This is not a test. But, it is a sincere desire to better understand an element of our identity in Christ. If you have read this far, you are either interested or God led you here. If you might, take a minute and pray for me and my friends as God leads you. If we can pray for you, leave a comment or email me. arhines @ grace point . org (spaces removed).

As this story unfolds and God reveals more of ‘the rest of the story”, I will post in the comments.
