The Ministry of Healing - Paperback

by Ernest S. Martin (Author)

The Ministry of Healing deals with the issues of faith and how God heals. How often does one hear or say, "If I just had enough faith, I could be healed"? The author experienced praying for many people who were miraculously healed. He also prayed for people who were not healed. However, every person that Jesus prayed for was healed.

Jesus came not only to pay for our sins and purchase our salvation on the cross, but he came to show us how to walk in the Spirit and to do the works of God. People who have sought God, prayed for healing, been prayed for by others, and are not healed tend to become cynical and say that God does not heal today. Jesus did not heal everyone. He said that he only did the works of his Father.

When the author began to search how to minister like Jesus, he learned that one had to be led by the Spirit and get the mind of God so that the works of God the Father would be glorified by the Son through the power of the Holy Spirit. Before praying for healing, one needs to have the mind of Christ and God's faith. The seven types of illnesses described in the Word and listed below were revealed to the author by the Holy Spirit.

Curse and Rebellion

Illness unto Death

For the Glory of God

Chastisement Caused by Sin

Demonic Afflictions

Abusing our Bodies

Molding of the Spirit

The purpose of this book is to teach how to pray the prayer of faith and to know the mind of Christ. There is an edict in veterinary medicine to "do no harm." Christians need to have this same edict in dealing with human souls for eternity.
