Divine Healing Made Simple is a training manual for the
supernatural life, providing street-proven instruction for healing the sick in
any type of setting. In addition to healing, the book teaches about prophetic
ministry, street evangelism and making disciples.
This book takes a bold approach,
addressing the difficult questions that many authors have avoided. Through
dreams, online discussions and hands-on experience, the author has discovered
the answers to some of the most common questions people have about Christian
healing, deliverance and raising the dead. Three chapters are devoted to the
problems of why some people are not healed and why some people lose their
healing.
This
is the first book on healing to harness the power of Facebook. By hosting
discussion questions on Facebook, the author has collected the wisdom and
experiences of hundreds of divine healing technicians.
Book Excerpt:
How
do we develop the kind of faith that heals people consistently? It was in their
failures that the disciples of Jesus were given some of the most important
lessons from their teacher. When they were not able to heal a boy with
epilepsy, they asked Jesus why:
“And when they had come to the multitude, a man came to Him,
kneeling down to Him and saying, “Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is an
epileptic and suffers severely; for he often falls into the fire and often into
the water. So I brought him to your disciples, but they could not cure him.”
Then
Jesus answered and said, “O faithless and perverse generation, how
long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him here to
Me.” Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of him; and the child
was cured from that very hour.
Then
the disciples came to Jesus privately and said,“Why could we not cast it out?”
So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.” (Matt 17:14-20)
So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.” (Matt 17:14-20)
Jesus
said they could not heal the boy because they lacked the necessary faith. The
disciples were not completely devoid of faith; they had already worked many
miracles by this time. They had adequate faith for healing some diseases, but
not the faith to accomplish this particular healing.
Jesus
said if they had faith as a mustard seed, they could move mountains. Many
people teach that Jesus spoke of the size of their faith when He compared
it to a mustard seed. They teach that small faith can move mountains – if it is
pure or has some other quality.
Jesus
didn’t use size in this comparison. He didn’t say they needed to have faith as small as a mustard seed, but rather they
needed faith that acts in the same way a
mustard seed does. Small faith was never applauded by Jesus – instead he often
rebuked people for having little or small faith.
In
order to understand why He compared faith to a mustard seed, we need to look
elsewhere in scripture. The first mention of mustard seed in the bible is in
the kingdom parables of Matthew chapter 13, where Jesus likened the kingdom of
heaven to a mustard seed:
“The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took
and sowed in his field, which indeed is the least of all the seeds; but when it
is grown it is greater than the herbs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of
the air come and nest in its branches.” (Matt. 13:31-32)
The
mustard seed though small, grew to be massive in size. And here is the key to
how mustard seed faith behaves – it grows. A seed bears no fruit
until it germinates and grows into a plant; the larger the plant – the more
fruit it bears. Faith must grow before it produces the fruit of healing.
When
I began praying for the sick, almost no one was healed. I was discouraged and I
wanted to quit. I had almost no faith. All I had was a promise from God; “You
pray and I’ll heal”. I had a seed of promise and nothing else. But the kingdom of God is about growth. So I planted
the seed and watered it.
I
watched videos featuring Todd White as he prayed with people on the streets and
I saw miracles happen. And the seed sprouted. I watered it with scripture,
reading every account of healing in the bible. And it grew roots. God gave me
dreams in which I saw myself praying for the sick and they were being healed.
Leaves grew from a small stalk that emerged from the ground. I continued to lay
hands on anyone who would let me and eventually, I saw some of them healed.
Fruit began to appear.
In
the beginning I failed to understand what it took to see people healed. I saw
others operating consistently in healing and I wanted to know how they did it.
Like many people, I misunderstood what faith for healing is and how it
operates.
