Is Divine Healing For Today?


Book Description

Divine healing is a controversial subject with some people and some denominations. Many theologians disagree on this subject. There are so many sick in the world today. We cannot seem to build enough hospitals. Even with the latest technical advances and discoveries, there are still diseases, sicknesses, and malfunctions of the human body that people of science and medicine cannot understand nor prescribe a cure remedy. Many of the sick people are in the church. Illness does not seem just to plague churchless people, but the church going including even Bible believers seem to be just as ill as the people that have nothing to do with God and His church. The book is an outgrowth of a syllabus that the writer spent over seven months studying, categorizing, and outlining what the Bible itself has to say about healing. The history books were not consulted. The popular and non-popular books of famous people on healing were not sought. The writer does not have all the answers, but he does have some good answers. The library of Sixty-six books has been used. This Book is meant to be presented with biblical material from the stance of the “middle of road”. Is there still any hope for the incurable and curable disease being remedied? Does the Christian believer, that believer in the efficacy of the blood of Jesus, the virgin birth, the soon return of our Lord, and the resurrection of the dead, have any hope for the wellness of his physical being? Has the God of miracles, the creator, the maker of the most wonderful machine ever made (the body), the calmer of the winds and the waves, the sea walker, the healer in sacred writ, ceased to do his historical deeds in this modern day! In 2 Kings chapter 2:14, Elisha in seeking God’s remedy said, “Where is the Lord God of Elijah?” The subsequent words will mainly present what the ancient book, the Bible, has to say about this subject. Is Divine Healing for Today? Let us come, look together, and spend some time examining what the Word says.




Divine Healing


Book Description

While working for Morris Cerullo, I would contact people claiming to be healed, obtaining follow-up x-rays, doctor's statements, and interviewing family and friends. I saw first hand how God works in people's lives. Then I began receiving letters from people who thought they were healed and later their symptoms returned, and from people who had not been healed and questioned why. Books on healing were no help being merely testimonies. A Bible College course on healing was attempting to decide whether healing was for today. Finally, prayerfully I went through the entire Bible, copying every verse having to do with healing. I don't claim to have found all the answers, and there are no formulas or pat answers with God. What I learned will be very helpful to others. The Bible says, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge." Hosea 4:6 In the case of healing this is literally true.




Divine Healing: The Holiness-Pentecostal Transition Years, 1890-1906


Book Description

In the present volume, James Robinson shows how the Holiness movement contributed to the rise of Pentecostalism, with emphasis on those sectors that practiced divine healing. Although other scholars have undertaken to explore this story, Robinson's treatment is by far the most thorough examination to date. He draws productively on the burgeoning secondary literatures on Pentecostalism and healing, and brings to light frequently overlooked, yet revealing primary sources. The events narrated are fascinating in their own right, and are important to the histories of Pentecostalism and healing for how they clarify the processes by which divine healing was pursued, debated, and often disparaged. The text also contributes to larger medical and social histories, offering tantalizing glimpses of the roots of some of today's most popular and contested medical and religious responses to sickness and health.

Ptolemy II Philadelphus and his World


Book Description

Heir of Ptolemy son of Lagus, Alexander the Great's general (who took Egypt over in 323BC), Ptolemy II Philadelphus reigned in Alexandria from 282 to 246. The greatest of the Hellenistic kings of his time, Philadelphus exercised power far beyond the confines of Egypt, while at his glittering royal court the Library of Alexandria grew to be a matchless monument to Greek intellectual life. In Egypt the Ptolemaic régime consolidated its power by encouraging immigration and developing settlement in the Fayum. This book examines Philadelphus' reign in a comprehensive and refreshing way. Scholars from the fields of Classics, Archaeology, Papyrology, Egyptology and Biblical Studies consider issues in Egypt and across Ptolemaic territory in the Mediterranean, the Holy Land and Africa.




Peoples and Places


Book Description

Jesus's final command to his disciples was to make disciples of all nations. But who are the nations? How do we know we are being obedient to the task? Do our current lists of ethnolinguistic people groups sufficiently answer the question? For the last fifty years, missiologists and missionaries have discussed this topic, but much of the conversation has been focused on definitions that give little attention to biblical theology. When we explore how the Bible describes "the nations," we find some other categories that have been overlooked, forgotten, or set aside in the development of missions strategy. Geography is one of these categories. However, this is not simply bringing current geo-political entities back into our missions strategy. Instead, Matthew Hirt is calling on missiologists, missions researchers, and missionaries on the field to discover how people groups identify their own geographies and, in turn, how that geography contributes to a people group's identity.




My Journey to Divine Healing


Book Description

This book was written from my personal experience with the provisions and principles described in trhe Bible. My personal health problems encountered over the course of my 73 years on this Earth was in part, the reason this book was written. I share my story now in hope that someone will be blessed my the information set to print here. My primary audience is the American Church, from which my Journey began. In my early years, I was blessed to be a part of the Baptist congregation in Berkeley, California. As time progressed from my exposure to the Gospel in the Church to my actual conversion experience at 12 years old, many questions arose which were not answered by my Church. In my conversatons with my peers and family, the gap in the questions and answers only got wider. Many of these questions are answered in this book. It is suficent to say, MY JOURNEY TO DIVINE HEALING was my effort to organize my life experiences in such a way as to convey both meaning and structure around existance. It is my belief that many people have had, and still have the same life experiences and concerns as myself and have not recieved satisfactory answers. It is my intent to shed light on these concerns from a Biblical foundation, with logic, knowledge, undrestanding and wisdom. I believe the reader will be rewarded many times over when digesting the content of this Book. In addition I think the reader will be pleasantly surprised when they begin to do what they learn.
