The revival of Christian healing in the church today may be a means of the greatest advance of Christianity in this century.

God’s healing power operates within the church which is the body of Christ on earth, through its membership.

Healing was an important part of Christ’s ministry and is intended to be a part of His disciples’ work in every generation

God works through human channels to do His healing. We must make ourselves fit and willing channels.

God uses many agencies for healing. Some are spiritual, such as prayer, love, faith and laying on of hands. Some are medical, such as medicine, surgery and psychology. These agencies should be supportive of one another.

God’s desire for us is wholeness and health. Christian healing is accomplished through faith in Christ and through one’s subjecting one’s entire life to the scrutiny and counsel of God. Jesus Christ lives today, and He still possesses all power on earth as in Heaven.
