Healing Flashcards
Explain the phrase, “healing in the atonement.”
The blood spilt on calvary not only covers sin, it also brings physical, spiritual, mental, emotional, and relational healing.
What do you believe concerning the healing ministry of the Church for this day?
I believe that healing is for believers and that the Church should teach and make room for healing to take place.
What procedure should be followed to minister to the sick who request prayer for healing?
The elder should be called to lay hans on the person. James 5:13-15
Is the “gift of healing” manifest in the Church today?
Yes, the same Spirit that was active in the New Testament is still active today.
In the Church body, who is scripturally obligated to take the initiative in the ministry of anointing and praying for the sick?
A person is to request it, but it is the elders who are to take the initiative of healing.
James 5:13-15
In the anointing and prayer ministry for the sick by the elders what does “the prayer of faith” mean?
That when the prayer goes out, there is belief that God has the power and the will to heal.
What is your theology of suffering?
Suffering is a way by which God can sanctify, teach, discipline and bring glory to himself.
How would you counsel a believer who has followed the instructions of James 5 and is still seeking a miraculous healing?
- That not all prayers for deliverance occur, just like Jesus’ request for deliverance from the cross didn’t occur.
- To seek God for reasons why there hasn’t been a healing, such as unforgiveness.
How does the obedience of the believer relate to the ministry of healing.
Obedience should be the believer’s goal no matter the outcome of healing.
But lack of obedience, or lack of faith does not necessarily equal healing or not.
How is the problem of sin related to the problem of sickness?
Sin breads sickness and is the root cause of all sickness in the world.
And we should always ask if sin and unforgiveness are in our lives and stripping God’s healing work.
What is the difference between miraculous healing and divine life for the believer?
Miraculous healing is God’s healing of an ailment.
Divine life is the believer drawing strength and life from the Risen Christ.
What is your understanding of the difference between faith healing and divine healing?
Faith healing emphasizes the faith of the believer to achieve healing.
Divine healing focus’ on the God who heals and knows that it is by his will that healing occurs.
