The Lord is good; amen?  As we were praying there, it reminds me of a miracle yesterday that had occurred, praise God!  Little A— had fallen, a severe concussion, and she was not able—they were trying to keep her awake, and they could hardly keep her awake… she was vomiting continually (if you all know anything about concussions, that’s not good at all).  This continued for a number of hours, and they took her in the blue tent, for concussion protocol—and all the guys will know what that’s talking about, the football games.  As they continued to pray and believe in the Lord, at about one o’clock yesterday afternoon, instantaneously, she was back to normal and has been going ever since, praise God!  Can you say praise God for that; amen?  The Lord is good.  The Lord is good!  The Scripture makes it very clear: “What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them” (Mark 11:24).  Amen?

I know a number were praying.  The pastors were gathered together and, as we had come across the road for some lunch, that information came, each of us prayed and believed God, and the parents were praying.  I don’t know who else had gotten word, but I’ll make a statement that I made the other day.  As we were praying, “Whose prayer was it that touched that little baby, that represented the power of God?”  Every person that was praying should be able to say, “Mine.”  Because whatever you ask in faith, believing, you shall have it; amen?

There’s no individual that gets credit; it’s the power of God at work in us.  It’s available to every one of us, and when the body prays according to the will of God, “…this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hears us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him” (1 John 5:14).  Amen?

We’re going to talk about the doctrine of healing.  We’re going to talk about the prayer of faith some.  I think it’s an hour where we can just refresh ourselves with those great promises; amen?  We need to get this into our thinking: just because you’ve quoted the verse a hundred times, just because you know it in your head, but it’s not revelation to you, it does not mean that it lacks power.  The Word is never common; amen?  The hundredth time we read it, it brings the same life, the same power, the same illumination, as the first time you heard it.  Can you say, “Praise God!” for that?  So don’t just quote these verses.  Sometimes they becomes rote to us.  “When you pray, believe that you’ve received them, and you shall have them,” praise God!

We’re going to talk about prayer for healing.  Many professed believers do not believe what I’m going to share with you, but it is a central doctrine of this fellowship and a central doctrine of the fellowship that we came from, all those years back where I was raised in the Assemblies of God.  Their doctrine is on the wall here as you walk into the fellowship.  When you walk into this church, the fundamental beliefs are on the wall; amen?  You can’t ever say that you don’t know what we believe.  It’s an exciting thing to see.  We believe that healing is in the atonement.  We don’t believe that healing comes arbitrarily.  We believe that the healing of our physical bodies was paid for by Jesus’ death on the cross, that He bore not only our sins, but He bore our sicknesses, hallelujah!
