Spiritual healing not for the sick alone...

The title of this post is taken directly from Emily's , "God Can Heal You Now", How to Stay Well chapter that deals with healings when we are not at the end of our ropes and seeking the "ministry of desperation".  Emily sites several examples of wellness resulting in people's lives when they are involved in a healing ministry.  Here are two examples:

"A Presbyterian attorney who became interested in the healing ministry two years ago, voices the experience of unnumerable people when he says: "I had all my life been subject to severe colds, throat infections, and sinus trouble during winter months.  I am convinced that it is more than coincidence that during the past two years  I have not been indisposed, even for a day"

"The experience of a mother with three youngsters is also typical. "For years I have been nervous and tired," she says, "and also terribly apprehensive about the children's health.  But not any more.  Through the healing ministry I have an entirely different concept of God.  I know now that He wants them to be well, and that if they do get sick, He will heal them.  The result has been that they have turned into the healthiest youngsters on our block, practically never have even colds..."


Emily concludes this section by making these remarks:

"There are very few of us who will not find ourselves recipients of the fringe benefits of the Christian faith -- health and joy -- if we follow the simple prescription consisting of two ingredients: daily devotions, and, if possible, weekly attendance at a healing service. For the Church, which is the Body of Christ and the extension of the Incarnation, is as indispensable as your private devotions."
