Short introduction to Christian healing:
According to Christianity, Divine Science derives its sanction from the Bible,
and the divine origin of Science is demonstrated through the holy influence of
Truth in healing sickness and sin. The spirit of the prayer of the righteous
heals the sick.
The
practice of Christian healing extends through all time and actually predates the
era of Christ Jesus.
Christian healing is based on the sufficiency of faith could be quite
significant in simplifying a therapeutic strategy. Strengthening your spirit
with the bold, encouraging, life-giving truths that are revealed in the Bible --
God's Word -- will help you move toward physical wholeness and overall
well-being. Thus Christian healing is overcoming bodily weakness or disease by
divine power.
Through the words of Jesus, the Bible brings us the life-giving message of hope
that God is able and willing to meet all of our needs, no matter how desperate
they may seem. In Christian metaphysical healing, however, the factor of Love,
as well as that of Spirit, plays a central role.
Christian healing is usually done through prayers and is most effective when it
performed with a group. Healing does happen ALWAYS, when you pray for healing
with love.
Love flows into the person or group and their lives are richer, more whole,
because of that powerful love!
During his ministry, Jesus healed lepers, blind men, the lame, a hemorraging
woman, the demon-possessed, and even raised the dead. Morton Kelsey identifies
41 such instances in his book Healing and Christianity. Jesus involved his
disciples in the work of healing; the book of Acts contains accounts of healing
by Christ's followers, and the epistles of Paul discuss healing as a gift of the
Spirit. For nearly 300 years, physical healing was an integral component of
Christian life and faith as a sign of God's love, compassion, and care.
In
the 4th century, influenced primarily by Western theologians, Christians began
to regard illness as punishment or correction from God rather than a
manifestation of evil or a condition contrary to God's perfect will. Spiritual
and physical health increasingly became divided and compartmentalized. The grim
realities of the Dark Ages, and an attitude in subsequent centuries toward faith
as an intellectual rather than experiential exercise, further diminished the
ministry of healing in the church. The Reformers continued to view salvation as
health for the soul, not the body.
Despite these trends, individual Christians continued to receive healing from
God, and history records their testimonies. In the mid-19th century, people
began to reaffirm the relationships between mind, emotions, body, and spirit --
between faith and health.
Today, while a holistic, integrated view of health emerges in medicine, a
renewed church is opening up space for the Holy Spirit to move powerfully in the
lives of the faithful in the ministry of healing.
Christian healing system for restoring physical or mental health is based on the
spiritual power of prayer. The healing prayer rests on the practitioners and
patients heartfelt acknowledgement and affirmation of the power of spiritual
Love and also on the realization and contemplation of man's perfection as the
Scriptures declare.
