We Believe In Divine Healing (Healing Without Medicine)
Healing without medicine is biblical (Matthew 4:23; Psalms 103:3). Sickness was caused by the fall of man. The force behind this is Satan (Job 2:1-9; Luke 13:16; Acts 10:38). However, Jesus came to destroy the work of the devil (1 John 3:8). Christ purchased our soul from the curse of sin. He bore our infirmities and carried our sorrow (Matthew 8:15-17). By His stripes we are healed (Isaiah 53:4-5; Galatians 3:13; 1 Peter 2:24). Healing without medicine is of the Gospel (Matthew 9:35; Mark 6:10-18). We read that the twelve Apostles and the seventy disciples combined healing with their ministry of the Gospel (Luke 9:1-2; 10:1-9). The Lord commanded us to go into the world, not only to teach the nation, but that we should also heal the sick (Matthew 28:19-20; Mark 10:1; 16:15-18).
We can obtain our healing in these four ways:
- By individual prayer (John 14:13-14)
- By two or group of people who have agreed to pray by faith (Matthew 18:19-20)
- By the laying of hands on the head (Mark 16:18; Acts 9:17-18; 28:8)
- By the ministry of Elders, anointing the sick with prayer of faith (James 5:14-15; Mark 6:12-13).
Special Notice: Before we can work by healing without medicine, we would have sacrificed our lives to the doing of the law (Romans 6:13-19; 12:1; Matthew 16:24; 2 Corinthians 8:1-5). Many miracles were performed by the Apostles (Acts 9:33-42; 19:11-12; 28:8-9).
