I was looking carefully through the website of a man who the world has named a "faith healer". I read page after page of his website, searching for the source of all divine healing ... Jesus! But I couldn't find even one reference to the great Jehovah Rapha ... Jesus the Healer.
Jesus is the center of the healing ministry Kent and I have been called into. It is Jesus who loved us so very much that He shed His precious blood to pay for our wholeness ... wholeness of body, wholeness of soul, and wholeness of spirit. And I will proclaim that message boldly as we share the gospel with His people!
Kent and I have been called to minister to those in need of healing. But there's more than healing of the body or soul that He's called us to share. We are to disciple (teach, lead, guide, empower, strengthen, edify, exhort) those who come to us in need.
With all my heart, I desire to tell others about surrendering all to God ... to give Jesus Lordship over every facet of life! I desire to take God's children by the hand, and put their hand into the hand of Christ ... to show them how to have an intimate relationship with Him.
Through our books and our ministry, we have the amazing opportunity to see new life birthed right in front of us. We are blessed beyond measure to see the invisible God become visible as bodies are healed and lives are changed right in front of our eyes.
Brothers and sisters, we are encouraged about you because of your faith. For now we really live, since you are standing firm in the Lord. How can we thank God enough for you in return for all the joy we have in the presence of our God because of you? (1 Thessalonians 3:7-9)
It is pure joy to serve God's people!
