The Healing Rooms, Why God Honors Them, and Why They Honor God
"Heal the Sick" (Matthew 10:8)
Hurting people need a healing God. Jesus was God's will in action;
"doing good and healing all" (Acts 10:38) "on earth as it is in heaven" (Matthew 6:10)
Salvation is total healing; restoration for our body, spirit, emotions, relationships - everything! Healing is in the atonement, it is for today, and it always glorifies God. The Healing Rooms are part of the great commission to preach AND heal! They began over 85 years ago in Spokane, Washington. Within five years 100,000 healings were documented and recorded, and a U.S. Government Report declared that Spokane was the healthiest city in the world! God honors the Healing Rooms and they honor God. Here's why...
HEALING ROOM MINISTRY IS BORN OF GOD-- "For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world - our faith." (1 John 5:4)
Whatever is born of God will heal whoever is born of God! The Word of Faith is a force that overcomes sin, sickness, addiction and anything else that oppresses us. The Healing Rooms present us with another way to reach the lost and to minister to the sick. It is not the only way to minister healing, but it is an additional avenue God has opened to minister His Healing Word.
HEALING ROOM MINISTRY IS ROOTED AND GROUNDED IN THE WORD OF GOD -
"He sent His Word and healed them" (Psalm 107:20)
The Healing Rooms are a highly anointed and effective ministry because they are established on God's Word. The Word of God encourages prayer, faith, forgiveness, love, hope, unity, agreement, boldness, authority, and prophecy. You will find all of these spiritual forces at work in the Healing rooms.
The Healing Rooms are built on God's Word and have produced tremendous results because God always honors His Word.
HEALING ROOM MINISTRY OPERATES IN LINE WITH THE WORD OF GOD -
"Let all things be done decently and in order." (1 Corinthians 14:40)
"Freely you have received, freely give." (Matthew 10:8)
"Pray for one another, that you may be healed." (James 5:16)
The Healing Rooms are winning widespread acceptance because they offer an alternative to the traditional "one-man ministry". They operate without fanfare, hype, theatrics, or pleading for money. You will not find big- name ministers in the Healing Rooms. Just the name that heals:
the mighty, matchless name of JESUS!
HEALING ROOM MINISTRY OFFERS A PRIVATE, PERSONAL ENCOUNTER WITH GOD- "There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. This man came to Jesus by night..." (John 3:1-2)
Nicodemus had a private audience with Jesus. Many people, including those who don't like crowds, feel comfortable in the privacy of the Healing Rooms. They offer a peaceful, quiet, dignified faith-filled atmosphere - the perfect environment for receiving. One personal encounter with the living Jesus can heal your body and change your destiny!
HEALING ROOM MINISTRY GIVES ALL THE GLORY TO GOD-
"Salvation and glory and honor and power belong to the Lord our God!" (Revelation 19:1)
Healing Room teams are part of a new nameless and faceless generation who are:
a) Consumed with God, not personal ambition, b) Dedicated to God's Kingdom and not interested in building a ministry of their own, and c) Determined to stay in the background, giving God all the glory for His work.
"He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches." (Revelation 2:7)
