What Do You Know About Healing?
Posted: Sat May 15, 2010 12:06 pmHello All,
Blessings!
And a good Saturday morning to ya! I was reading in the first few chapters of Acts yesterday and a couple of verses kind of jumped out at me. Most of you all know the prophecy going around that a great outpouring of the Holy Spirit has/is/will be coming on the body of Christ. And that with that outpouring will also come ever increasing separation from the world, and an ever increasing oneness among us. The Lord has been dealing with me quite a bit about praying for His signs and wonders to increase, specifically along the guidelines below.
Here are a few keys He has shown me on how to pray. The keys are, that we recognize our Heavenly Dad as the source of all healing power inside and outside the House of God. He does the work. That we pray before Him to consider how the heathen are arrayed against Him and our blessed Lord, that He grant to us by His hands His healing be done, by the name of Jesus, with all boldness of the power of the Holy Ghost, and that we do so in one accord. We offer Him our hands for His work.
I would like to know your thoughts on the matter.
Acts 4:24-28
[24] And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is:
[25] Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, [b]Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things?[/b]
[26] The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord, and against his Christ.
[27] For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together,
[28] For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done.
[29] And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word,
[30] By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus.
[31] And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.
Acts 3: 6-7
6] Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.
[7] And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ancle bones received strength.
Acts 3: 12-16
[12] And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk?
[13] The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go.
[14] But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you;
[15] And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses.
[16] And his name through faith in his name hath made this man whole.
Acts 5:12-16
[12] And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch.
[13] And of the rest durst no man join himself to them: but the people magnified them.
[14] And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.)
[15] Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them.
[16] There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one.

When we finally were ushered to THE receiving line, the two that were laying hands were practically running and bopping people on their foreheads, and I was totally distracted by people falling on the floor. I got bopped on my forehead and remember hearing in the name of Jesus. I did not fall. I did not feel any different. But as quickly as I was bopped, those of us in the "receiving line" were ushered away so the next 20 or so people could have their turn. I kept looking back as we were being whisked away to look at the people that had fallen down, because I was kinda confused and wondered if those people were ok. They were being pulled up and gently pushed, a sight similar to what you might see sun bathers do at the beach right after someone has yelled "shark!!!"
