03.69. I Believe In Divine Healing

I Believe in Divine Healing

I believe in the healing power of faith. Apart from religion there is, generally speaking, health for the man who lives by faith. Sickness is of the mind rather than of the flesh. Divine healing is more than healing by faith. It is not to be confused with hypnotism and autosuggestion. The Lord is the Healer. The faith is in Him. The grounds of my faith are in Him. I trust His Word, the redeeming work of Christ, and the sanctifying power of His Spirit who quickens our mortal bodies. The main concern is to know the will of God. Sickness may be chastisement for disobedience, and by faith the cause may be removed, the sin forgiven, and health restored. I am bound to believe that sickness may be in the will of God, for the purpose of discipline, for the glory of His grace, and the ministry of Christ.

I am sure that divine healing is a fact; and that the gift of healing waits within the church for the prayer of faith.

I am sure that many people are sick who ought never to have been sick, and who might now be healed.

I am sure that no life is so health-giving and so radiant as the life of joyous and obedient faith.

I am sure I believe with all my heart and mind in divine healing, in spite of the fact that I am often ailing.
