We had a special night since we joined the prayer service in the Sanctuary for those struggling with cancer. Our youth were able to participate in our church body pleading with God for healing for these members.
I thought it fitting afterwards to talk about divine healing, since we had just asked God for it.
I began by sharing our BFC Article of Faith #22-1 -
22-1 Divine Healing
It is the believer's privilege to seek the will of the
Lord in matters of physical healing. This healing,
whether by natural, medical, or supernatural
means, must come from the omnipotent God who
created the human body. The believer may implore
the Lord for physical restoration according to the
Scriptures, and if the healing is for the highest
glory of God, His power will be displayed.
- We seek God's will in all matters of healing. Our will is for there to be physical healing. This may be God's will, but it also may not be.
- We talked about how God uses different means to heal - natural remedies, medicine, and even supernatural un-explainable means. He is all-powerful.
- Colossians 1:16-17
- It is our privilege to implore God for healing, because the Scriptures teach us that -
- James 5:14-16
- 2 Corinthians 12:7-9
- Ultimately, we pray that whatever brings God the most glory is done.
- John 11:1-4 (The death of Lazarus)
- John 9:1-7 (The man born blind)
We then closed with singing in worship, because no matter what happens, God is good and we can always praise Him!!
