Healing

A must read for anyone interested in or led to the Healing Ministry. A thorough and interesting review of the history of the churche's doctrine on Healing and a revealing and challenging study of Jesus's teaching on Healing. Why as Christians do we limit ourselves???
I really enjoyed this book!

Authoritative Book on Christian Healing by Prayer

Simply stated, "Healing" by Francis MacNutt may be the best work on healing through prayer ever written. The book includes an overview of the history of praying for healing in Christianity. That in itself is worth the price of the book. He traces how healing began as a central obligation of early Christian communities, but when Christianity became legal under Constantine, many of the precepts of pagan Roman society, such as those advocated by stoics, which deemed suffering as redemptive, infiltrated Christian theology and practice. People prayed less and less for healing as time progressed and saw their suffering as something they should endure without questions, for redemptive reasons. Also the role of the laity changed much once Christianity became legalized. Priests became more powerful and certain practices that were once considered the responsibility of all, such as praying for the sick (which is handed down in the Catholic tradition as the anointing of the sick) were no longer responsibilities that any Christian should perform, but relegated to those ordained.

MacNutt's book includes many personal testimonies of people who were healed through services at which he participated. Some of the stories come from letters. Some of the stories are his personal experiences and situations that he witnessed. All areas of healing are included: inner healings from emotional wounds, physical healings and deliverance is also a topic the book covers. The book includes sample prayers used from various Christian faiths, or elements that should be incorporated into prayers, if the reader has an aversion for formal prayers. Any person may pray for healings, but the book believes as the Bible states, that healing is a gift given by the Holy Spirit and some people may be more effective in their prayers than others. And while healing may occur through prayer alone, the book does not recommend avoiding medical resources available to assist people's health and recovery because these too are gifts we are given and should use. It is true too, that some times illness does have a purpose in life, and that healing is not always God's will for every occasion. The book also offers guidelines for starting a healing ministry and assembling a team.

The book looks at the way different beliefs in Christianity heal those who have faith in them. It does not say that one belief is more powerful than another, but the key element is faith in God's ability to work through venues. One of my favorite topics covered in the book is on sacraments; how different Christians believe in the validity of different sacraments, and MacNutt presents stories of how people are healed through each of them: baptism, confession, communion and anointing of the sick are the major heavy weights. MacNutt was ordained and worked as a Catholic priest for many years, but he also worked with Christian ministers who specialized in healing from other churches, such as the late Rev. Tommy Tyson and Agnes Sanford.

This is a great book for rejuvenating faith in prayer and an empowering read. I highly recommend it to any one looking for ways to deepen their prayer life, and particularly for those seeking confidence and guideline in how to help others through prayer. It revolutionized my perception of prayer groups; before MacNutt's book I believed that such groups were the perogative of fringe elements of Christianity, and now I feel more obligated and confident in praying for others. Thank you Francis MacNutt!

A staple for encouragement

Francis has long expounded the power of prayer. This book continues to be a staple of encouragement for the spiritual and religious person alike. The ability to become a vessel and see miracles happen consistently in the ministry and hospitals, I have Tiffany Snow's Power of Divine: A Healer's Guide for that. The balance of the healer remembering The impartial power of prayer to manifest changes for the healer too, I have Agnes Sanford for that. To make sense of it all and sooth my anxiety about healing and being healed, I have God for that. Just do it, and you will be blessed
