is for you and your children, and all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call." The Disciples performed many wonderful healings while Jesus was here on earth, as recorded in Luke 9:6, 10. But after Jesus went away, we find the disciples performing the wonderful miracles, given in The Acts of the Apostles-See Acts, 3rd chapter, 8th, 9th, 14th, 19th, 20th and 28th chapters-healing the cripple, raising Dorcas to life, casting out devils and performing many healings in nearly every place. Our Instructions are definitely set forth in these ref erences: Mark 16:17, 18. "And these signs shall follow James 5:14-16. "Is any sick among you? let him Testimonials. As we pointed out in the beginning of this book, there is no proof of the truthfulness of the Scriptures, and their absolute reliability, like taking the prom ises one by one and proving them. However, if all the people in the whole world that have been healed by the power of Almighty God through the prayers of His people, were to come together into one place, I believe it would make a city as large as New York. The world is full of them. Once Jesus healed ten lepers-and only one returned to give Him thanks. Many there are who are healed by the power of God, and wander away and forget. Nevertheless the Lord has done His share. In fact, there are so many healings taking place all over the United States as well as in all other countries, I am at a loss to select any representative instances, that would strengthen your faith. In my own neighborhood there have been the following notable healings within the last few months, that I readily call to mind. There have been hundreds in all: (1) Three healed of cancer-all in advance stages. (2) A little girl of twelve healed of insanity. (3) A little boy of four, of epileptic fits. (4) A woman of about forty, healed of Melan- (6) A woman whose kidneys were almost com- (7) A woman healed of Gall Stones. (8) Man, paralyzed on one side-healed al- I have word direct from Europe, that a Norwegian Brother who has been having remarkable success in healing, prayed for some one who had been pronounced dead by attending physicians. She was raised from the dead. This occurred within the past few months. I have before me the issue of the Church of God Evangel, the weekly journal of the Church, published at Cleveland, Tennessee, dated October 1, 1921. This is the number that comes to my desk as this part of the book is being written, and in fact before reading it and knowing what is in it, I refer to it. I will now enumerate the different healings that are given in signed testimonials: 1. A fifteen year old boy, with breast, stomach, and bowels riddled with fourteen buck-shots-pro nounced hopeless by the hospital-healed by the prayer of the saints. 2. A woman, invalid for fifteen years-healed. 4. 5. A cripple, who had not walked for four yearshealed, and walked instantly. One healed of chills and fever. 6. One healed of spinal meningitis. It also contains nine requests for prayer for healing. In thousands of churches all over the world people are being healed by the prayers of the saints. Usually it is in this manner: The sick one calls upon the elders of the church They anoint with oil (usually olive oil), by drop- faith. Frequently, the evil spirit must be re- If you want to know the list of diseases that the Lord can heal, get down any medical dictionary which gives a complete list of all the ailments that ever attack the human body-Thanks be to our God-the power of the Lord is sufficient for them all. Some doctors hang out a shingle: "Eye Specialist"Another "Nose Specialist," Another, "Nerve Specialist”— Another is a Surgeon. Our Lord Jesus Christ provided in the atonement that we should be healed-and if we believe we can be healed. "Who Healeth All Thy Diseases." Committing Sin. When Jesus healed many, He told them to "Go and sin no more." Once He said, "Go and sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon thee." We cannot answer for those who come to the Lord and get healed, and their sins forgiven, and then go away and forget God. But for all those who come believing there is healing in the Fountain. After all this do you wonder that healing is one of the great works of Faith which the Church of God contends for! I should think not. The Church of God "The Church of God has a sure foundation; the Whence the Name, "The Church of God" Let us freely examine Scripture verses which give name to the body of Christ here on earth: "Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath |
