We have heard recently that local pastors have said that church has failed in its responsibility to heal people. What did Jesus say when he declared himself Messiah? In Luke 4 v 18 to 19:
Jesus Rejected at Nazareth
18 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, 19 to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favour.”
Jesus did come to heal as he declared in the synagogue over 2000 years ago. Whether the church has failed in healing only God really knows. However, here at Canton Community Church we have seen many miraculous healings.
We want more people to come to Canton Community Church if you require prayer for healing. Why? Because we are a church that fervently prays for people who are unwell, and we have seen lots of healing through prayer.
It was said locally that prayer does not work to heal people. We don’t agree with this, especially when Gods word says that praying can bring about healing, plain and simple. But let’s not dwell on that too much.
We want to show you examples of how people have been healed through prayer and these are true stories, we want to make the point that PRAYER CAN HELP BRING ABOUT HEALING.
Before we show you examples, it is important to mention that the Lord can absolutely heal someone, however sometimes he does not heal immediately, or on times it can take a while for healing to take place in a persons life. We must always submit to Gods will and we must trust Him in His plans and purposes, but the word is true, never cease without praying and pray to the end, especially for those who are unwell. Here is the word that states this in 1 Thessalonians.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
16 “Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”
Let’s take a look at prayers that have been answered when requesting healing.
Prayer 1
A lady who had blood cancer. We prayed for this person. We saw her in Canton and she declared to us that she is completely healed. Here is the prayer.
Prayer 2
A lady who had breast cancer told us she has been healed and is out of danger.
Prayer 3
A lady who had foot cancer has been healed.
Prayer 4
A person who has been healed of liver cancer and out of danger.
Prayer 5
A person healed of spinal cancer and is out of danger.
Prayer 6
This next prayer situation is amazing. A girl who had suffered kidney failure, has received a new kidney and has received new life and can move forward. Here is confirmation of prayers being answered in a WhatsApp message.
Here is one of those prayers prayed for this girl.
Prayer 7
A girl healed of meningitis.
Prayer 8
An elderly lady who received prayer below. She was told that her bone could not grow back because of her age, this meant she would have to have a metal plate inserted to attach two of her bones together. With prayer the bone grew back and the lady was completely healed. Here is the prayer.
Prayer 9
A gentleman who was terminally diagnosed with stage 4 renal cancer. He has been healed. Here is that prayer.
Prayer 10
A man healed of a broken back.
We believe that this shows that prayer can be an engine for healing as well. So keep praying for the people who are unwell because it can lead to healing, and glorify Jesus in Heaven because Jesus is the healer.
When we hear of prayers answered regarding healing, the joy they bring is hard to convey, just pure joy. Joy where we want to sing Gods praises like that in Psalm 96.
Psalm 96
1 Sing to the Lord a new song;
sing to the Lord, all the earth.
2 Sing to the Lord, praise his name;
proclaim his salvation day after day.
3 Declare his glory among the nations,
his marvelous deeds among all peoples.
