Essential Facts For Those Searching For 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.

Most people would agree that miracles happen in the supernatural realm. Therefore, most healing ministries instruct people to refrain from limiting God based on their present circumstances. Instead, they are told to believe God that the miracle will come, and if they expect it to happen, it will.

Those who believe in the aforementioned doctrine state that the days of miracles are not past. This belief is based on yet another Scripture, Hebrews 13:8 which states that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and therefore the miracles He did, He still does. As stated in Acts 10:38, Jesus went around healing all who were oppressed by the devil and demonic forces. Believers state that such miracles are still available today.

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 imperative that one realize money is not a factor regarding miracles. In fact, a sorcerer named Simon in the eighth chapter of ACTS, verse twenty, was severely rebuked for trying to buy the gift of God with money. Sending money to a certain ministry has nothing to do with receiving a miracle.

When looking for a Christian healing ministry, a person should search for a center or church where the members believe that healing is for every person. The individual should also make every attempt to increase his or her faith, and tune out the skeptics. Numerous individuals have received miracles from God, which is what the sick or injured person should concentrate on when waiting to be healed.
