The same compassion that compelled me to pray for those patients so many years ago compelled me to write Healed. It is the compassion of Jesus for those who need healing.
Healing Across The Generations
One of the distinctive features of Healed is that it draws from a rich treasury of healing ministers— both from previous generations and from leading voices ministering divine healing today. Each one reveals something about the nature of Jesus, the authority of His Word, and the reality of divine healing that changed not only their own lives but also the lives of multitudes. Healed brings their stories, their testimonies, and the truths about divine healing into the hands of your church— one day at a time, for forty days.
A Journey With The Healer
As a pastor or ministry leader, I believe this devotional may be one of the timeliest resources you can place in the hands of your people. Here ' s why. Sooner or later, we will all face the frailty of our bodies and the reality of life ' s brevity. As Paul wrote, " Our outward man is perishing "( 2 Corinthians 4:16). The question is not whether people will face these battles— but whether they will be equipped to face them from a place of victory.
Healed was written to help equip people both to receive and to minister healing. Through this journey, readers will discover what the Word of God says belongs to them through the finished work of Calvary. They will encounter the healing power of the Holy Spirit as a present, living reality. They will be equipped not only to receive healing for themselves, but to minister healing to others.
This is the inheritance of every believer. And what a joy and responsibility we have to lead our people into receiving that inheritance!
A pastor friend had been in ministry for years without ever seeing anyone healed. Ever. When he encountered ministers experiencing healings and miracles as normal Christianity, it provoked him— in a good way. He spent time with them— and before long, miracles became a regular part of his life and ministry. Today he equips believers to minister healing around the world.
Kenneth Hagin once said that the reason the gifts of the Spirit don ' t manifest more is because we don ' t desire them enough. I believe Healed will light a fire in people ' s hearts for healing and miracles.
" We will all face the frailty of our bodies and the reality of life’ s brevity. The question is not whether people will face these battles— but whether they will be equipped to face them from a place of victory."
It took me over three years to write Healed— because as I researched the healing evangelists and different moves of God, I was spiritually redigging wells and uncovering buried treasure. Night after night I ' d be up until 4 AM reading and praying, often with tears. Yet not writing a single word.
I myself was on a journey with the Healer.
