How to Receive
HEALING FROM JESUS CHRIST
by: Pastor Max Solbrekken, D.D.

"He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon Him and with His stripes we are healed." (Isaiah 53:5)

The Bible says: "Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today and forever." (Hebrews 13:8)

DOES GOD ANSWER PRAYERS?

 MARTIN LUTHER to great reformer said, "How often has it happened, and still does, that devils have been driven out in the name of Christ; also by calling on His Name and prayer, and the sick have been healed."

JOHN WESLEY, founder of the Methodist Church, stated: "I believe that God can open the eyes of the blind, cause the lame to walk, and the deaf to hear, if men will have faith in God; stand on the word of God, and pray according to the faith that God hath given them, God will do the things He said He would because He is a never-changing God."

A.B. SIMPSON, founder of Christian & Missionary Alliance, declared, "If ever there was an age where the world needed the witness of God's supernatural working, it is in this day of unbelief and Satan's power."

"Therefore, we may expect, as the end approaches, that the Holy Ghost will work in the healing of sickness, in the casting out of demons, in remarkable answers to prayer, in special and wonderful providences, and in such form as may please His sovereign will to an unbelieving world."

DR. CHARLES H. MAYO, Mayo Brothers Clinic, said: "Christian healing has passed beyond the stage of experience and its value cannot be questioned.  Spiritual healing is no longer the hope of a few but the belief and practice of a large and rapidly increasing number of person."

JESUS CHRIST said: If thou canst beieve; all things are possible to him that believeth."  (Mark 9:23)

"And these signs shall follow them that believe; In My name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover."  (Mark 16:17-18)

Max Solbrekken, God's humble servant, says: "That God is a healer is no secret.  That his Word has amazing saving, healing and creative power is well known.  But that his power to save, heal and deliver is readily available at absolutely NO COST, is not widely known."

Most people believe that there are strings attached, a price to pay, good works to do, a guru to follow, and that God favors only a few with answers to their prayers.

DIVINE HEALING IS A GIFT FROM GOD TO THOSE WHO ARE FEARFUL, HURTING, SICK & DISEASED.

Divine healing is a gift from God to those who are fearful, hurting, sick and diseased. And He offers it freely through the death & resurrection of His Son Jesus Christ, by Whom He has defeated sin, sickness, fear, death & Satan. God does answer prayers. GLORY TO GOD FOREVER.

PREFACE

HOW TO RECEIVE HEALING FROM JESUS CHRIST AND ANSWERS TO YOUR PRAYERS

This little booklet was written in 1965 - only 2 years after I had entered the ministry - and brought the healing message of Jesus Christ to multitudes.  It was titled, "HOW TO RECEIVE HEALING FROM JESUS CHRIST."

Numerous miracles of divine healing and deliverance have been wrought by our blessed Lord Jesus through this ministry, during the past four decades.

The truths found in this message are still basic and necessary for each of us, if we are to experience the presence of the Holy Spirit which brings the healing virtue of Jesus Christ into our lives. God does answer prayers, but He knows the best time and the best solution for each of us.

Without doubt, God is still as interested in the human family as ever and His Word is still true and "by His stripes we are healed."

No one can change that!  God proves His great love to us by forgiving our sins and healing our sicknesses,  and answering our prayers, as Dr. A.B. SIMPSON, founder of Christians & Missionary Alliance - concurred many years ago in his powerful book, "The Gospel of Healing."

Prophet David declared: "Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; Who healeth all thy diseases." (Psalms 103:2-3)

Again the Psalmist proclaims: "He hath sent His Word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions."  "Oh that men would praise the Lord for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men." (Psalm 107: 20-21)

God is our kind and caring Heavenly Father, and it has been my joy to see his hand outstretched toward the sinful, sick and suffering these many years.  Over the years we have seen thousands of prayers answered and glorious miracles of healing in bodies, lives and families. All glory and praise to His wonderful name, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

It is my prayer that as we reprint this little "messenger of hope",  faith will rise in many hearts, faith that God will fulfill his word and answer your prayer.  I pray that great blessings will touch multitudes of lives.

May you, my dear friend, receive God's blessing and an answer to your prayers!    ~Max Solbrekken, Edmonton, 2003

HEALING FOR THE SICK 
Through Faith In Jesus Christ

"...man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward." (Job 5:7)

"Many are the afflictions of the righteous; but the Lord delivereth him out of them all." (Psalms. 34:19)

"Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the Church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord; "And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him." (James 5:14-15)

“Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.” (Matthew  7:7-8)

THERE IS HOPE FOR YOU - THERE IS HEALING FOR YOU - GOD WILL ANSWER YOUR PRAYERS

Multitudes today are suffering from a disease or infirmity with no relief in sight. They have frequented doctors, clinics and hospitals with little or no help - and are discouraged, angry and bitter!

Some have prayed earnestly regarding their healing, had special prayer in their church by the pastor and elders or by an evangelist whom God uses to bring healing to the sick through faith in Jesus Christ - and still are not healed!  Many become discouraged thinking that God is not listening to their prayers or that they are not important enough for him to give them answers to their prayers.

Possibly someone reading this booklet fits one of these categories. After your hospital visit or prayer service, you are “not better”. You may even be getting worse! Your faith is at a low ebb and you’re tired of being tired, sick and defeated. You are tired of hoping and believing without any answers to your prayers.

You feel like throwing up your hands in despair since nothing helps, and accept weakness, pain, sickness and distress as your lot in life!

MY DEAR FRIEND, THERE IS STILL HOPE FOR YOU.  It is not too late. It may seem hopeless, but it is not. It may seem useless to think of deliverance, but it is not. So long as you are alive and there is a God in Heaven, there is hope!

The Bible says, “With men this is impossible, but not with God, for with God all things are possible”. (Mark 10:27) It may seem impossible to you but with God NOTHING is impossible.

Man’s extremity becomes God’s opportunity. And when man fails, that’s when God can take over, for He never fails. When man “gives up on you”, God is ready, willing and able to step in and bring to pass a miracle in your life, because nothing is impossible with Him!

GOD CAN & WILL ANSWER YOUR PRAYER!  When God could bring the world into being by His spoken Word, hang the universe on nothing, fling the sun, moon and stars into the far most corner of the night to rotate in perfect harmony, HE CAN ANSWER YOUR PRAYER.  You must be patient and continue to pray and seek God, as he will answer your prayers when he feels the time is right.

"By the Word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of His mouth." (Psalm  33:6).  Since He has the ability to create millions of moons, galaxies of stars and heavenly bodies by a few words from Hs lips, most assuredly He is able to destroy the cancer, heart disease, diabetes or arthritis which is stealing your health.

WHEN AT THE TOUCH OF HIS HAND, GOD CREATED A PERFECT HUMAN BEING IN HIS OWN IMAGE AND BREATHED INTO MAN’S NOSTRILS THE BREATH OF LIFE MAKING HIM A LIVING SOUL, SURELY HE CAN HEAL YOUR SICK SPIRIT, SOUL (MIND) AND BODY.  HE HAS PROMISED HEALING, GOD HAS PROMISED ANSWERS TO YOUR PRAYERS.

The Great God Who brought back to life the Lord Jesus Christ, can certainly quicken your mortal body. When you think of how great and mighty our God is, certainly nothing could be impossible to Him!

St. Paul declares: "But if the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, He that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken - make life in - your mortal (temporal, dying) bodies by His Spirit that dwelleth in you". (Romans  8:11)

Is God able to heal our weak, aging, temporal bodies? Yes, He is able to and He does!  Is God able to answer your prayers.  Yes - He is willing to answer your prayers.  The Bible says, “All things are possible to him that believeth”. (Mark 9:23)  Since He (the Holy Spirit) brought Jesus Christ back from the dead, He can most certainly heal our diseased and dying bodies, says St. Paul.

In verse 26, the great apostle continues, "Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities (lit. greek - takes a hold of against our sicknesses): for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself (Himself) maketh intercession for us (lit. greek - and together with us) with groanings (Holy Spirit prayer - praying in tongues) which cannot be uttered".

The same Blessed Holy Spirit Who raised Jesus Christ from the dead dwells within us and "takes a hold of against our sickness" and “together with us” prays to our Heavenly Father for our healing and deliverance!

"ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE TO HIM THAT BELIEVETH"

The Bible says, “All things are possible to him that believeth”. (Mark 9:23) The first truth we have established is that your case is not too difficult for God and there is a good possibility of your healing to take place  We have also established that God is able and willing to heal you - to answer your prayers!

THE BIBLE STATES THAT JESUS CAME TO BRING LIFE!

“The thief cometh not but for to steal and to kill and destroy, but I am come that they might have life and have it more abundantly.” (John 10:10)

Jesus stated that the devil came for only three reasons; to steal, kill and destroy! But Jesus came to bring life! The devil is a thief and a murderer (John 8:44) and came only to do evil (steal, kill and destroy).  He came to rob you of your happiness, joy, peace, health and blessing. He came to harm you and finally destroy you in a hospital, insane asylum or prison.

The devil is cruel, perverted, evil, wicked and ungodly. He can only do evil. He has no capability to do good. The devil is the death giver!

JESUS IS 100% GOOD! He came to bring life. He came to bring blessings to all who would believe. HE CAME TO BRING ABUNDANT LIFE BECAUSE HE IS THE LIFE GIVER! Some people have given the devil the credit for healing sick people - this is blasphemous and utterly false. It is contrary to God’s Word and accuses Jesus of telling an untruth.

We know that Jesus is the truth, the life and the way (John 14:6). The Word of God is pure, divine and infallible!

JESUS SAID THAT YOU CANNOT GET GOOD FRUIT FROM A CORRUPT TREE OR CORRUPT FRUIT FROM A GOOD TREE. By their fruits we shall know them! Jesus said a corrupt tree “bringeth not forth good fruit”. (Matthew 7:18) It is against the law of a thorn tree to bring forth figs - you can’t get sweet water out of a fountain that is bitter.

HOW COULD THE DEVIL, WHO IS COMPLETELY EVIL, BRING FORTH SOMETHING THAT IS GOOD?

Jesus called the devil a thief who came only to steal, kill and destroy. He came to this earth for no other purpose! Jesus came to bring life! Healing and health is life! Sickness and disease brings death! The Bible classifies 'healing' as 'doing good'!

“How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power, Who went about doing good, healing all who were oppressed of the devil.” (Acts 10:38)

The message is plain and simple: The devil made people sick but Jesus made them well. Sickness comes from satanic sources and divine healing has its origin in God!  The literal Greek states that Jesus Christ healed all those who "were under the dominion, authority or lordship of Satan". That is God's Word - Believe it and be healed;

IT MAY APPEAR THAT WITCH DOCTORS AND OCCULTS MAY HEAL OR CURE BUT BE NOT DECEIVED

Oh I know there are times that it appears witch doctors and other occultists may have affected cures by their incantations.  Do not be deceived.  Satan is a deceiver and manipulator.  In the end, his involvement always brings enslavement, torment & death.

The magicians (witch doctors and soothsayers) of Egypt could duplicate many of the miracles performed by Moses in the sight of Pharaoh (king) of Egypt. There were two things they could not do, however.

#1 - They could not get rid of the plagues even though they could duplicate Moses in bringing forth the flies and frogs. Moses had to be called to get rid of the plagues: eg. darkness, flies, frogs, lice, locusts. Interpretation: Satan can bring the cancer but he has no power to heal the person from the death-dealing work of the disease which he has brought. God is the only healer and restorer!

#2 - When it comes to creating life, the magicians could not create lice out of dust as Moses did in the Name of the Lord.

The magicians said to Pharaoh, “This is the finger of God”. (Exodus 8:19) Here is the interpretation: Satan is a deceiver and trickster but he has no power to do good, heal, save or create life! All he can do is deceive, lie, steal and kill!  Only God can heal and create life and sustain it!

There are some things you must do if you are to be healed. Study the accounts of sick folk - in the Bible - who were healed, and if you do what they did, you will certainly receive healing, because Jesus Christ is no respector of persons!

No. 1 - WORSHIP JESUS CHRIST!

There is only ONE HEALER, Jesus Christ. He alone is the Great Physician. Seek Him and worship Him, and turn from every known sin. Seek the Healer and not the healing!

Focus your attention on Jesus. Worship, praise and magnify His Name and His love, forgiveness and healing will automatically flow into you!

“And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped Him, saying, Lord, if Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean. And Jesus put forth His hand, and touched him, saying, I will, be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed”. (Matthew  8:2-3)

PEOPLE WHO SEEK ONLY A HEALING OR MIRACLE OR ANSWERS TO PRAYER  WITHOUT WORSHIPPING GOD - WILL BE GREATLY DISAPPOINTED

By seeking God through Jesus Christ, you will establish a vital contact with the Great Physician and receive your miracle and answers to your prayers.  People who seek only a healing or a miracle or answers to prayers without worshipping God, will be greatly disappointed.

ALWAYS REMEMBER, KNOWING GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST AND THE BLESSED HOLY SPIRIT - WITHOUT BEING HEALED PHYSICALLY - IS FAR MORE ADVANTAGEOUS THAN GETTING ONLY A PHYSICAL MIRACLE WITHOUT RECEIVING JESUS CHRIST AS SAVIOUR AND LORD!

Jarius was in a desperate situation. His daughter was at the point of death when he decided to seek out the Master. Here is the Bible account.

While He spake these things unto them, behold, there came a certain ruler, and worshipped Him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay Thy hand upon her, and she shall live. And Jesus arose, and followed him, and so did His disciples.

“And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind Him, and touched the hem of His garment: For she said within herself, If I may but touch His garment, I shall be whole. But Jesus turned Him about, and when He saw her, He said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.

“And when Jesus came into the ruler’s house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise, He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed Him to scorn. But when the people were put forth, He went in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose.” (Matt. 9:18-25)

CANAANITE WOMAN WORSHIPS JESUS!

“And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto Him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. But He answered her not a word. And His disciples came and besought Him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us. But He answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. “Then came she and worshipped Him, saying, Lord, help me.

“But He answered and said, It is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast it to dogs. And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table. Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.” (Matt. 15:22-28)

The Bible states, “And as they went to tell His disciples. behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped Him”. (Matt. 28:9)

GOD HEARS THE PRAYERS AND ANSWERS THE PRAYERS OF THOSE WHO WORSHIP HIM

Without doubt, God hears your prayers and God answers the prayers of those who worship Him. And all who are saved and healed by God’s power WILL desire to worship Him!

The blind man whom Jesus healed is a good example of that fact: “Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when He had found him, He said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God? He answered and said, Who is He, Lord, that I might believe on Him? And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen Him, and it is He that talketh with thee.

“And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped Him”. (John 9:35-38)

To the Samaritan woman, Jesus said, “But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth”. (John 4:23-24)

No. 2 - HUMBLE YOURSELF!

Pride is a gigantic hindrance to receiving divine healing! “But He answered and said it is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast it to dogs.

“And she said, truth, Lord, yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their master’s table. Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith, be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.” (Matthew  15:26-28)

Here is the account of a Canaanite woman humbling herself in the sight of God. When she did, Jesus granted her request! Her daughter was healed!

ANOTHER GOOD EXAMPLE OF HOW GOD REWARDS HUMILITY IS FOUND IN THE HEALING ACCOUNT OF NAAMAN

“So Naaman came with his horses and with his chariot, and stood at the door of the house of Elisha. And Elisha sent a messenger unto him, saying, Go and wash in Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be clean.

“But Naaman was wroth, and went away, and said, Behold, I thought, He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of the Lord his God, and strike his hand over the place, and recover the leper. Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not wash in them, and be clean? So he turned and went away in a rage.

“And his servants came near, and spake unto him, and said, My father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not have done it? how much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean?

"Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.” (2 Kings 5:9-14)

Many people believe that they will receive something from God because of WHO THEY ARE OR THINK THEY ARE! We do not receive healing because we are worthy, but because we are needy. And Jesus Christ met that need nearly 2000 years ago on the cross!

WE RECEIVE HEALING FROM GOD BECAUSE OF HIS GRACE AND MERCY AND BECAUSE OF HIS WORD - NOT BECAUSE WE DESERVE IT - HEALING IS A GIFT

It is only because of His great liberality to us by sending His Son Jesus Christ, to die in our place and purchase our salvation, that we receive forgiveness and divine healing from His gracious and loving land!

We must never forget that forgiveness, divine healing, the gifts and graces of God which He bestows upon us are simply that - gifts of God’s mercy to us!

No. 3 - BELIEVE IN GOD’S INTEGRITY, ABILITY AND WILLINGNESS 
TO KEEP HIS PROMISES TO US

Believe that God’s Word is absolutely true and that it will never pass away! The Heavens and the Earth will pass away, but God’s Word will stand forever. (Matthew  24:35) God’s Word is as pure and divine as God Himself (John 1:1-4).

THE HOLY SCRIPTURES ARE GOD’S WORD!

The Lord God Almighty is “back of” His Word, and it will never fail (1 Kings 8:56). God has placed “His Word” above “His Name” (Psalm 138:2). His Word has gone out of His mouth in righteousness and will not return void.

“So shall My word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.” (Isaiah 55:11)

God will perform every Word He has spoken. “Then said the Lord unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten My word to perform it.” (Jeremiah  1:12) “So shall My word be that goeth forth out of My mouth: it shall not return unto Me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.” (Isaiah 55:11) Believe that God’s Word is the final authority and that IT IS GOOD TODAY!  Then, appropriate His Word to yourself, for your own individual need!

Jesus said, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor, He hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord.” (Luke 4:18-20)

The Bible says, “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.” (Romans 10:17)  Jesus asked two blind men, “Believest thou that I am able to do this (heal them)?” They answered, “Yea, Lord”.

Then Jesus touched their eyes saying, “According to your faith be it unto you”, and they were instantly healed!

Jesus said, “If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth”. (Mark 9:23)

“Believe Me that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me: or else believe Me for the very works’ sake. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto My Father.

“And whatsoever ye shall ask in My name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in My name, I will do it.” (John 14:11-14)

No. 4 - TAKE GOD AT HIS WORD!

The Bible says, “...if thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and wilt do that which is right in His sight, and wilt give ear to His commandments, and keep all His statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians, for I am the Lord that healeth thee.” (Exodus 15:26)

Jesus promised: “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.” (Matthew 7:7-8)

“When the even was come, they brought unto Him many that were possessed with devils: and He cast out the spirits with His word, and HEALED ALL THAT WERE SICK: That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.” (Matthew  8:16-17)

Seven hundred years before His birth in Bethlehem, the Holy Spirit promised divine healing through the Coming Messiah!

“But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed.” (Isaiah 53:5)

Here is the beginning of the fulfillment of that prophecy: “Who His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by Whose stripes ye were healed.” (1 Peter 2:24)

There are three very important spiritual laws which Jesus Christ gave His Church:

The Law of Binding & Loosing
The Law of Agreement
The Law of God’s Presence

These three laws, when acted upon in faith, bring divine healing and total deliverance to those who call upon the Lord in sincerity and trust!

“Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

“Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of My Father which is in heaven.

“For where two or three are gathered together in My name, there am I in the midst of them.” (Matthew  18:18-20)

The Law of Binding & Loosing is found in Matthew 18:18
The Law of Agreement is contained in Matthew18:19.
The Law of God’s Presence is written in Matthew 18:20.

For a full treatment of this subject, write for booklet on ‘The Laws of God & Divine Healing’!

No. 5 - RECEIVE JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR HEALER

Confess to the Lord that you Believe His Word and that you Know He is your Healer!

Concur with the Scriptures. Agree with Jesus Christ, that you Accept His promises as true and infallible! Confess to Him that you Believe that “By His Stripes you are Healed”.

Then, Thank Him for healing you and for answering your prayers.   Trust the Lord for complete deliverance. Relax and get well for according to His Word, He has healed you.

The Bible says, “Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in Him; and He shall bring it to pass”. (Psalm 37:5)

Jesus said, "Therefore I say unto you, what things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them". (Mark 11:24)  Jesus Christ promises that he will hear and answer your prayers.

YOU MAY RECEIVE AN IMMEDIATE ANSWER TO YOUR PRAYERS.  YOU MAY BE HEALED SUDDENLY OR YOU MAY BEGIN TO AMEND AS ALSO HAPPENED IN THE MINISTRY OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST!

“Then enquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him. So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house.” (John 4:52-53)

READ WITH JOY THESE WORDS OF LIFE: “Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.

“Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much”. (James 5:14-16)

You may receive divine healing in one of various ways - through the laying on of hands, anointing with oil, prayer of agreement or praying alone to our Heavenly Father in Jesus’ dear Name, in your home!

IT DOESN’T MATTER WHICH WAY GOD HEALS YOU, SO LONG AS YOU ARE HEALED

Give God all the glory. Share with others what God has done so that you may rejoice together and glorify the Name of Jesus. Remember, Jesus said in Mark 9:23 - “ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE TO HIM THAT BELIEVETH”.

Allow me now to offer a prayer to God on your behalf.

“Kind Heavenly Father, I pray in Jesus’ Name that you will extend Your hand of mercy, forgiveness and divine healing right now to each and everyone who is reading this booklet.

“Upon the authority of God’s Word, by the blood of the everlasting covenant, through the eternal Spirit of God and in Jesus’ all powerful Name, I command Satan to take his hands off each one reading this booklet now!

“Every evil spirit of torment, infirmity and unrighteousness must leave NOW, in Jesus’ Name.

“Heavenly Father, please lay your healing hand on the sick, infirm and sinful right now and save, heal and deliver them all.”

THANK YOU LORD. I BELIEVE IT IS DONE AND I PRAISE YOU IN JESUS' HOLY & PRECIOUS NAME."   Amen.

BIBLE VERSE CAN CURE 
SICKNESS & DISEASE
by: Pastor Max Solbrekken, D.D.

GOD'S HEALING COVENANT

"And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I AM the LORD that healeth thee." (Exodus 15:26)

NONE OF THESE DISEASES

One of the most helpful books in print today is the classic, 'None of These Diseases' by Dr. S.I. McMillan.

The author, Dr. S.I. McMillan, a prominent medical doctor uses humor, common sense and a biblical perspective, in dealing with the causes and cures of today's diseases.

"It is lamentable that peace does not come in capsules", he utters in failure as he remembers the thousands of patients who left his office with "nothing but a prescription for a bottle of pills that would only relieve the symptoms of their illness but not attack the diseases.

The good doctor laments that he now wishes he had rather prescribed his book, 'None of These Diseases', so that a permanent cure could have been affected!  According to Medical Science, between 60 and 100% of all diseases are caused by nervous tension, emotional stress and strain.

Dr. McMillan states that emotions such as fear, sorrow, envy, resentment and hatred are responsible for the majority of our sicknesses and diseases.  And that emotional stress can cause high blood pressure, toxic goiter, arthritis, migraine headaches, apoplexy, heart trouble, gastro-intestinal ulcers and other serious illnesses and diseases.

And recently (about 1996) the American Medical Association released the findings of a nation-wide survey of tens of thousands of their medics. One of the questions dealt with their success ratio in treating patients.  The answer is shocking - Only 10% of patients had received any lasting help through their medical procedures.

MEDICAL SCIENCE HISTORY RESTS ON SHAKY FOUNDATION - CRAZY CURES FOR DISEASES 3500 YEARS AGO

Having any problems with falling hair?  What do you do to cover up that bald spot and receding hairline?  Probably the only solution is to massage your head, comb your hair forward, get a toupee or just simply let it fall.

If you had lived about 3500 years ago you would have gotten very different advice - not from a therapist but from your physician.  He would have quoted from the famous medical authority of that day, Papyrus Ebers.

"When it falls out, one remedy is to apply a mixture of six fats, namely those of the horse, the hippopotamus, the crocodile, the cat, the snake and the ibex. To strengthen it, anoint with the tooth of a donkey crushed in honey."

THE PAPYRUS EBERS - AN ANCIENT MEDICAL WORLD GUIDE - REMEDIES FOR DISEASES 1552 BC

The Papyrus Ebers was published about 1552 BC and occupied a dominant position in the ancient medical world and was one of the leading guides for practicing physicians for a long time.

There are literally hundreds of remedies for diseases in this book, such as lizard's blood, swine's teeth, putrid meat, stinking fat, moisture from pig's ears, milk goose grease, asses hooves, animal fat from various sources, excrete from animals, including human beings, donkeys, antelopes, dogs, cats and even flies.

THROUGH MOSES, GOD MADE HIS HEALING COVENANT WITH THE JEWISH NATION

Moses was born about the time the 'Papyrus Ebers' was written in Egypt.  He was educated in their highest schools of learning - scholars think he was also a physician - as the son of Pharaoh's daughter.

But when God called Moses to lead His people out of Egyptian bondage, he did not borrow from the "occultist clap-trap" in their medical books of disease remedies.  He rejected the highest, most respected medical authority of that day.

Moses' directive was "Heed the voice of God, do right, obey His commandments, keep His statutes and I will heal you".

God did not borrow medical advice from the 'Papyrus Ebers'. His advice to Moses was contrary to the most highly respected medical thought of that day.

THE CHURCH WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN STOPPING THE BLACK DEATH DISEASE

Millions of Europeans died of the disease Leprosy for hundreds of years.  Some physicians thought the cause of the disease Leprosy was eating hot food or the meat of diseased hogs.  Others blamed the disease Leprosy on malign conjunction of the planets.

Approximately 60 million people died from the BLACK DEATH disease in the 14th century.  Dr. George Rosen of Columbia University writes: "Leadership was taken by the Church, as the physicians had nothing to offer.  The Church took as its guiding principal the concept of contagion as embodied in the Old Testament.

DISEASE OF LEPROSY - PEOPLE AFFLICTED WITH THIS DISEASE WERE QUARANTINE

"Once the condition of leprosy has been established, the patient was to be segregated and excluded from the community...it accomplished the first great feat...in methodical eradication of disease."

Possibly, the Church needs to investigate measures to insure that the AIDS epidemic does not leap from high risk groups to the general population, since governmental and medical bodes are again "doing nothing".

For centuries in Europe, multitudes perished from deadly diseases because of improper hygiene, sanitation and sloppy hospitals.  In many villages, human excrement and waste was dumped into the streets, bringing deadly diseases, creating epidemics of typhoid, cholera and dysentery.

GOD HAD GIVEN INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE BURYING OF WASTES 3500 YEARS AGO

The solution to the problem that was causing these deadly diseases, the burying of wastes, had been given by God 3500 years before (in Deuteronomy 23:12-13).

HYGIENE CUT MORTALITY RATE - GOOD HYGIENE STOPPED DISEASES FROM SPREADING

Vienna in the 1840s was famous as a medical center.  One of the most famous teaching hospitals of that  day was Allegemeine Krakenhus.  In its maternity ward, one out of six women died.

Dr. Ignaz Semmelveis discovered that if doctors washed their hands well, after doing autopsies and before examining expectant mothers, the mortality rate dropped drastically.

Dr. Semmelveis was not applauded by the Medical Profession.  However, he was ridiculed by his peers, discredited, lost his position and eventually succumbed to the pressure, dying in a mental hospital.

Moses had given the same advice many centuries before (in Numbers 19).  If wasn't until 1878 that the method of cleaning hands and instruments was introduced by men like John Tyendall, Louis Pasteur and Sir Joseph Lister that the mortality rate began to drop.

The New York State Department of Health, in 1960, issued a book describing a method of washing the hands very similar to that found the BIBLE - Numbers Chapter 19.

JOHN WESLEY, FOUNDER OF THE METHODIST CHURCH DECLARED IT WAS GOD'S WILL FOR MIRACLES TO BE IN THE CHURCH, BUT THE MIRACLES HAD BEEN LOST DUE TO UNBELIEF

It's interesting to note that John Wesley - founder of the Methodist Church declared that it is God's will for miracles to be in the Church, for the entire Church age, but have been lost to the church because of UNBELIEF.

He further stated, "The only method of physics employed by the Early Church for the first 400 years, was the prayer of faith."

Medical science has come a long way since Papyrus Ebers was published in 1552, BC and even since the 1840's in Vienna, but I still think that when your family physician advises you to get a second or third opinion about an operation, its a good idea.

Now if anyone wants to try the remedy for falling hair, don't let me discourage you. But then where would you find a hippopotamus these days?

As for me and my house, we will Trust the Lord and serve Him only!
