Lisa Bevere tells of when her son had a tumour under his tongue. They prayed and applied the anointing oil and within a couple of days the tumour had disappeared.
In this instance, the healing took place quickly.
Would the healing have happened without the oil? I really don’t know. There are people healed instantly without the physical oil being present.

Does the communion bread heal your body? Today I look at the healing power of the Holy Communion
Surely a small piece of bread cannot possibly heal an incurable illness?
I mean, it would be completely wonderful but it really does sound quite far fetched and almost too good to be true, doesn’t it?

When I volunteered in the chaplaincy at my local hospital, I often encountered questions about the reasons God allows suffering. “If God is a God of love, why did I become ill?’ or ‘why did my loved one die?’
Have you ever asked such questions?

The Battle you face today is not yours, it’s the Lord’s. I don’t know about you, but when I hear this, I feel a relaxation in my body, a calmness and a peace.
Joseph Prince uses the analogy of a boxing match. The champion wins the battle and is awarded a trophy. He then goes home and gives the trophy to his wife. He did all the work but she benefits

Imagine sitting by the wayside and unable to see, probably for a great many years. Imagine the the conditioning, his thinking patterns and survival strategies. Bartimaeus chose to demolish such strongholds the day he met Jesus.
Could it be that God is inviting us to do the same?
‘Ill always be a blind beggar…..I don’t get the happiness everyone else gets…..I’ll never work…..It’s not fair…..Things will never change…….I’ve been this way too long…..’

Blind Bartimaeus knew how to honour God and this opened the door to his healing.
In his book, ‘The Honour Key’ Ps Russel Evans says this about the lifestyle of Jesus.
‘Every miracle, every breakthrough…….happened when people honored what he carried…..or honored who He was’

The story of Bartimaeus shows us how people pleasing can stop our healing. I love that Bartimaeus had enough shameless faith to ignore the crowds and pursue Jesus.
When I trained in counselling, I was surprised to discover just how much of a people pleaser I was and how my whole life was rooted in shame.

One of the reasons I love the healing of Bartimaeus is because it reminds me that God sees those who society may view as ‘invisible’.
Have you noticed, that in every community, there is always the ‘in’ crowd. You know, those who tick the right boxes.
Then there’s those who feel like a square peg in a round hole.

I remember the days I prayed such desperate pleading prayers for healing. I was BEGGING God to heal; it really was life or death. Then I read about Moses and the Bronze serpent found in Numbers and everything changed.
From that day onwards, I no longer pleaded or begged God for healing. In fact, this revelation means I will never ask God for healing ever again. Not for myself or for others.
Today I share with you perhaps the greatest revelation I have had about God and His supernatural healing power.

The thought that God is punishing us when we’re suffering is common, especially amongst those who don’t know God very well. It’s understandable when we read of God punishing sin so severely, even visiting people’s sins to the third and fourth generations!
Are you asking yourself this same question?
When I was a child, I just loved the story of Jonah and the Whale. The excitement and thrill that God would send a large fish to swallow someone whole.
