Divine Healing Bible Lessons New International Version
LESSON No. 12 ~ NIV
Throughout these Bible Lessons we have been discovering just how mighty our Lord is and what He is able to do through the lives of those who will believe and obey Him. Knowing God’s will on a matter gives us a firm foundation upon which to build and the Scriptures we have studied together throughout this Course should have given you that firm foundation to believe God to work for you in the area of Divine Healing. Walk close to God and He will use you to bring His blessings into the lives of others……you will be amazed at what He will do through you when He is given the chance! God bless you wonderfully
Our final Lesson is a study of the Apostle Paul’s ministry in relation to our subject of Divine Healing. May you know more of the ways of the Lord as a result of the time you have spent in study and meditation in this Course.

We conclude this Home Bible Study Course by sharing with you a few Scriptures which are of help to us in relation to Divine Healing:-
Gifts of healing are one of the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:9).
In James 5:13-16 the sick are exhorted to call for the elders of the church, who should anoint with oil and pray the prayer of faith. The prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise them up. We are also told to pray one for another, that we may be healed.
Because we are now living in the New Covenant, I believe the ministry of Divine Healing should be functioning in the lives of believers today, especially mature believers who have learned to walk with the Lord in victory.
Matthew 18:18-20 reveals a tremendous authority that the Church today should be exercising. These verses surely apply in the area of Divine Healing too.
Mark 11:22-26 tells us there is nothing impossible to those who have true faith in God (see also Matthew 21:21-22 and Luke 17:5-6).
“Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy GOOD HEALTH and that all may go well with you, even as your
SOUL IS GETTING ALONG WELL” (3 John 2).
Let us pray together – in all sincerity – The prayer of the early church: “Now Lord……… enable your servants, to speak your word with great boldness. Stretch out your hand to heal; and perform miraculous signs and wonders through the name of Your Holy servant Jesus” (Acts 4:29-30). Amen.
