Healing Through Jesus

By Rebekah Prewitt

“When disease is impurity, why should you ever believe that you will be sanctified by having a great deal of sickness?”— Smith Wigglesworth

If you are battling with a sickness of any kind (plague, disease, infection, virus, etc.), have you employed the spiritual means God has given for your physical healing?

In Healing Through Jesus, the reader will find help by learning how to operate in faith on a practical level for healing. Having faith means to be fully persuaded of the things of God. This kind of faith is concrete and can be used unlike some sort of abstract intangible faith that does not yield results.

Notes

Introduction

Many people, both unsaved and saved alike, have suffered at the hands of physicians, and their stories are frequently common in nature. They will go for surgery for one problem only to discover later that the doctor has created for them a new problem. They are in and out of the hospital, placed on conflicting or erroneous medications, end up spending their whole life savings to get well, and have to significantly alter their lives to accommodate their sickness. Of course, There is no new thing under the sun, as the wise king has said (Ecclesiastes 1:9). For, such was the case years ago. The Bible records,

And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years, And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse (Mark 5:25, 26).

While many today are looking to find healing through doctors, healing though medicine, healing through eating specific kinds of foods, healing through witchcraft, sorcery, and even healing through art, and music, this book will address healing through Jesus.

One day at the post office after talking with a woman with stage four cancer, a story I will share later on, I was quickened with the thought of asking my clients and people in general if they have employed the spiritual means God has given through the Church for their physical healing. These means have been significantly downgraded to the point that it almost seems obsolete in our present age—or at least in our Western part of the world. Yet, when these means are put in operation, the sick will find the results that they are seeking.

If you are battling with a sickness of any kind (plague, disease, infection, virus, etc.), this book is written with you in mind. It is designed to help you walk in faith on a practical level. This is faith that is concrete and can be used instead of some sort of abstract intangible faith that does not yield any results.

In order to produce this kind of faith, the reader will first be introduced to some necessary background information which will then lead into the specifics of how to operate in faith. Many have deemed the things of God too simplistic to deal with man’s problems, but when we take what God has given us and mix it with faith, then what would seem too simple is exactly what works in bringing God the glory.

Chapter 1.

Sicknesses Tied to the Supernatural

Now when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto him [Jesus]; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them. And devils also came out of many, (Luke 4:40-41a; see also Matthew 4:24, 8:16, Acts 19:12).

What is interesting about this verse and the others listed is to first observe to Whom the people were bringing their sick with divers diseases. Why were these people not bringing their sick to the doctors of their day? At the time of Jesus’ earthly ministry, medicine had already been formed into its own distinctive practice. Hippocrates, the Greek physician, whom many hail as the father of medicine, had already established medicine as a profession and is noted for being the first to categorize diseases. The New Testament also corroborates the fact that physicians were already in operation. The woman which had an issue of blood for twelve years mentioned in Luke 8:43 is noted for spending all her living upon physicians whom existed in her day. Luke, the Gospel writer and companion of Paul,  is listed as the the beloved physician (Colossians 4:14).

Looking further back in time, the Old Testament also notes that physicians were prominent in Egypt during the time of Joseph (Genesis 50:2). Physicians were also active during the times of the kings of Israel. When Asa, king of Judah, was diseased in his feet, instead of seeking the Lord, the Bible records Yet in his disease he sought not to the LORD, but to the physicians (2 Chronicles 16:12). Even in the book of Job, which is recognized as possibly the earliest Biblical book written, Job calls his friends physicians of no value (Job 13:4) alluding to the presence of physicians in
