The Benefits Of A Christian Healing Ministry

By Connie Sears


Numerous Christians state that healing for mental or physical disorders is available to those with strong faith. Such individuals often seek out a Christian healing ministry for advice or prayer. Over the years, there have been reports of miracles for those afflicted with heart problems, multiple sclerosis and cancer.

Many Christian state that if they call on Jesus, various miracles are available. Indeed, the New Testament contains many scriptures backing this statement. The belief in miracles is based on the fact that Jesus also bore infirmities and diseases when he died on the cross to redeem the human race. Verses in the Bible confirm this, such as Matthew 8:16, where the fulfillment of Isaiah 53:4-12 is referenced. The latter states that all such afflictions were borne by Jesus.

In other passages, such as James 5:14, the Bible states that healings occur when hands are laid on the ill or afflicted individual. According to the New Testament, if one's faith in God was strong enough, a miracle was never denied. This is particularly obvious in passages such as Mark chapter 11, verse twenty-three and Matthew chapter 21, verse twenty-one.

Miracles go beyond the natural. Therefore, many healing ministries tell individuals not to limit God by the circumstances that have occurred. Rather, if one believes God, and states that they expect to receive a miracle, it will come.

Proponents of this doctrine believe the days of miracles have not passed by. A Scripture frequently used to back this up as Hebrews chapter 13, verse 8, which states that Jesus Christ never changes, and therefore the healings He provided in the past, He will provide in the future. In another passage, Acts 10:38, it states that Jesus traveled around healing everyone who was oppressed by the devil or demon. Many Christian state that in today's modern times, such miracles are still available.

Because faith is involved with miracles, individuals should not let negative influences affect them and a weaken their beliefs. Naysayers and unbelievers often state that God only provides miracles for certain individuals, leaving others behind. However, ACTS 10:34 refutes this theory, as it states that God is not a "respect or of persons". The modern-day translation of that verse simply means that God will not favor one person over another. Instead, the miracle is up to how strongly one believes God's word.

It is also essential for one to realize that money or donations does not guarantee a miracle. In fact, a sorcerer named Simon was hotly rebuked in the book of Acts, chapter eight, verse twenty, for trying to buy God's gifts with money. Getting healed has nothing to do with giving money to a specific ministry.

When searching for a Christian healing ministry, one should look for a church or center that believes in miracles are for everyone. The person should also do everything possible to build his or her faith, and refuse to listen to those who are skeptical. Many people have received healing from God, and this is what the afflicted individual should dwell on when waiting for his or her own miracle.
