Faith is • Going to Jesus • Humbly seeking healing from Jesus • Acknowledging that you have sinned against God, and be willing to repent and seek forgiveness from God • Believe that Jesus has the power to heal you, that He is willing to heal you • An open, visible Act • There is a need for Perseverance – don’t give up, even if there is a delay in the healing • Lack of Faith will limit even Jesus – Mark 6:5-6 : “Jesus could not do any miracles there … Jesus was amazed at their lack of faith”
James 5:14-16 “Is any one of you sick ? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven. Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.”
1 Corinthians 12:28 “And in the church God has appointed first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then workers of miracles, also those having gifts of healing, those able to help others, those with gifts of administration, and those speaking in different kinds of tongues.”

Helen Keller (1880 – 1968) was an American author, activist and lecturer. She campaigned for women's suffrage, workers' rights, as well as many other progressive causes
Some of Helen Keller’s Quotes : All the world is full of suffering. It is also full of overcoming. I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; and because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do something that I can do.
Some of Helen Keller’s Quotes : Instead of comparing our lot with that of those who are more fortunate than we are, we should compare it with the lot of the great majority of our fellow men. It then appears that we are among the privileged. Life is an exciting business, and most exciting when it is lived for others.
Some of Helen Keller’s Quotes : The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision. Death is no more than passing from one room into another. But there's a difference for me, you know. Because in that other room I shall be able to see.
2 Corinthians 4:16-18 “Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.”
Bible passages that accept (without surprise or anguish) that miraculous physical healing did not take place. (For example : 2 Tim 4:20; Philippians 2:25-27; 1 Tim 5:23; Gal 4:13-14).
Healing by Design • Healing through Discovery (of medical knowledge) and Assistance (by medical personnel, or even self) • Healing Deeply, our soul and spirit • (Inner Healing) • Healing Delivered solely by Prayer and Faith • Healing from Death – Ultimate Healing • (Eternal Life – now and the future).
“The body is a miracle of complexity and sophistication that exceeds comprehension. Fortunately, most of it runs on automatic pilot – the heart beats, the blood circulates, the glands secrete, the enzymes catalyze, the electrolytes balance, the glucose metabolizes, the liver detoxifies. Even our thinking and breathing are largely automatic and involuntary; our brain and lungs function NOT because we tell them to but because GOD tells them to.
God gave us an amazing gift, and all we are required to do is to feed it, water it, rest it and move it. Yet it needs to be the right food, water, rest and movement. If we do our assignment well, we will work better, run better, feel better, heal better and live better.” – Dr Richard Swenson, author of “Margin”
