The Patient, the Healer and God

Healing comes to the sick in many ways. Some are healed through faith, some through the act of prayer, which is faith in action. Some are healed because the body has activated its own internal healing power. Can advanced cancer or other debilitating dis-eases be healed? Just what does it take for healing to take place?

In the healing classes of a certified healer, men and women are taught that the individual who is acting as the healer is just a channel between God and the patient. Is this all there is to healing; to have a person act as a channel for healing? No! The patient is just as much a part of the healing process as God, the healer (channel), and the patient. It is a threesome that works together to effectively produce the needed healing.

Few people today believe that God heals as he did in the days of Jesus. They are all wrong. God still heals as He did then. One must remember the words of Jesus when he said “the things I do you can do and greater things than these you can do.” So what does it take for healing to take place today?

It requires that the person acting as the healer truly understand that they are a channel for God’s healing energy. If the healer doesn’t believe that healing can take place through them, the healing energy is stopped from its flow. God can do little for the patient when the healer doesn’t believe that they are his channel.

Remember that it takes so little faith – the amount of faith represented by a mustard seed – so little, and yet so much. It is not the person acting as the healer that heals; it is God the source of all healing who does the healing. The channel MUST be open to the flow of God’s healing energy. The patient MUST know that they WILL receive the healing they desire, and be ready to accept it without question.

I hear of so many people today who are afflicted with cancer, and other diseases that lead to death of the physical body – diseases that can be stopped in their tracts. If only the patient understood that God wants them to be strong and healthy. "But, you say," However this one little word can make the difference between healing and the downward spiral to physical death.

The question is – Do you have faith, the knowing that healing takes place even today as it did two thousand years ago?
