The Legacy of Healing: Continuing Jesus' Ministry to the Sick

Explore the biblical and practical ramifications of praying for physical healing.
|
One of the most startling—yet often overlooked—statements that Jesus made is found in John 14:12, "I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father." One cannot read the Gospels without noticing that one of the most obvious aspects of Jesus' ministry was physical healing. With this in mind, what are the implications of Jesus' promise for us today?
In this issue, we explore the biblical and practical ramifications of prayer for physical healing. You'll read about:
"Encountering Jehovah Rapha"—Pray!'s editor, Cynthia Hyle Bezek, shares candidly about her family's experience in seeking prayer for physical healing in light of her husband's battle with multiple sclerosis. In the process, she has learned much about God's character, God's ways, God's Word, and God's power—insights that may challenge and will hopefully enlarge your understanding of and faith in Jehovah Rapha, the God Who Heals.
"Perspectives on Healing"—In Pray!'s interview of four pastors from different denominational backgrounds in both the U.S. and the U.K., the ministers share about their own journeys and experiences in the area of prayer for the physically ill. Learn about the role that prayer for healing prays in their churches, how they got started, and what they've learned along the way.
In this theme section you'll also read the testimonies of intercessors who prayed for others' healings—with results!—as well as short pieces discussing issues related to prayer for healing such as the believer's authority in Christ, the enemy's role in sickness, and more.
Also in this issue...
"Road Warrior"—Learn how you can make "prayer on the go" a part of your regular commute. The average American worker spends two weeks per year in his or her car, commuting. Author and minister Hugh Poland shows how you can creatively use your time behind the wheel for meditation and intercession.
"Hope Deferred"—How do you pray in faith in the midst of disappointment when hope for an answer is fading or even gone? Learn how praying God's Word, looking at the bigger picture, asking for more faith, and being honest with God can help you overcome the hurdle of hopelessness and put you back in the race with your hope restored.
"Weapons for Lasting Victory over Sin"—Discover the difference prayer can make in the battle to overcome persistent sins. Read about the breakthrough that comes through prayers of confession, repentance, and faith-building declaration, and how to make them a regular part of your own prayer life to gain victory through Christ over besetting sins.
PrayKids!: Thankfulness
We want to help kids find the joy that comes from living with a thankful heart. We want to point them in the direction of God's will for their lives. How can we do this? By teaching them to be thankful—to "give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus" (1 Thess. 5:18).
This issue of PrayKids! focuses on praying from a thankful heart: how it helps us to draw near to the heart of God, how it guards us and even acts as a weapon against the schemes of the enemy, and how it causes us to overflow with blessing toward others!
Also, the PrayKids! Teacher's Guide is now available in book form—a comprehensive curriculum for all 26 PrayKids! issues that provides discussion material, activities, crafts, games, and guidelines for powerful prayer times just for kids. Check it out at www.praykids.com, and use it in your own home, church, or homeschool.
