We Believe...
...in prayer for
the sick and healing by the power of God
The Healing God
God revealed Himself as the healing God - ...for I am the
LORD that healeth thee (Exodus
15:26). He calls Himself "Jehovah Rapha" - the
physician and healer.
Jesus drew great crowds when He was on the earth, not only for
the words He said but because He healed "all manner of
sickness and all manner of disease among the people" (Matthew
4:23).
The Bible holds many promises regarding healing. In Mark 16 we
read about the signs that would follow believers: "...they
shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover" (Mark
16:18).
James, writing to the Church, said:
"Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of
the church... And the prayer of faith shall save the sick..."
(James
5:14-15).

Is Healing Still for Today?
Yes. The Bible describes Jesus as "the same yesterday,
and to day, and for ever" (Hebrews
13:8).
`There are many personal stories
of healing in our midst. God has not changed!
An opportunity for prayer for the sick (and for other needs)
is provided in all our meetings.

From the Bible...
Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders
of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him
with oil in the name of the Lord:
And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord
shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they
shall be forgiven him.
Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another,
that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a
righteous man availeth much.
James
5:14-16
Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our
sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God,
and afflicted.
But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised
for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon
him; and with his stripes we are healed.
Isaiah
53:4-5
Who his own self bare our sins in his own body
on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto
righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

Peter 2:24
Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and show
John again those things which ye do hear and see:
The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers
are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up,
and the poor have the gospel preached to them.
Matthew
11:4-5
And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John,
said, Look on us.
And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something
of them.
Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as
I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth
rise up and walk.
And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and
immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.
And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them
into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.
Acts
3:4-8
