Chapter 10 How to use Faith in Healing

Healing has always been part of the Christian understanding.

There is a growing emphasis in present-day religious practice which is designed to help people find healing from the sicknesses of mind, heart, soul, and body. This is a return to the original practice of Christianity. Only in recent times have we tended to overlook the fact that for centuries religion carried on healing activities. The very word ‘pastor’ derives from a word meaning ‘the cure of souls’.

It is significant that the word ‘holiness’ derives from a word meaning ‘wholeness’ and the word ‘meditation’, usually used in a religious sense, closely resembles the root meaning of the word ‘medication’. The affinity of the two words is startlingly evident when we realise that sincere and practical meditation upon God and His truth acts as a medication for the soul and body.

Where have you seen God bring healing to yourself or others? Whether is be physical healing or healing from addiction etc.

In all of the investigations I have made into successful cases of healing, there seems to be certain factors present. First, a complete willingness to surrender oneself into the hands of God. Second, a complete letting go of all error such as sin in any form and a desire to be cleansed in the soul. Third, belief and faith in the combined therapy of medical science in harmony with the healing power of God. Fourth, a sincere willingness to accept God’s answer, whatever it may be, and no irritation or bitterness against His will. Fifth, a substantial, unquestioning faith that God can heal.

Form a picture in your mind of the loved one as being well. Visualise him in perfect health. Picture him as radiant with the love and goodness of God. The conscious mind may suggest sickness, even death, but nine-tenths of your mind is in the subconscious. Let the picture of health sink into the subconscious, and this powerful part of your mind will send forth radiant health energy.
