“ I d o n ’t know w hether he (Jesus) is a sinner but I
know this: I w as blind and now I can see!” (Jesus
healing the blind m a n ... John 9:25) Last w eek, I
utilized the story o f Jesus healing a blind m an and
receiving criticism instead o f gratitude to write
about a healing service I attended that seem ed to
offer m iracles but left m e with m ore questions than
answers. A re special services necessary for G od
to heal? How did the preacher know so much about
m e? W as the w om en healed o f blood disorder
sim ply because hands w ere placed on her? W hat
about those who are not healed? A re there other,
less dramatic w ays we can be involved in a healing
m inistry? For years, I struggled w ith feelings o f
inadequacy as a pastor and Christian. Should I be
leading healing services? C ould G od heal others
though me? In other words, w hy w as I so afraid to
take action? So recently, along w ith several leaders
o f our church, w e began to look into the m iracle o f
G od’s healing. Our first Step was to study scripture.
Several m onths ago we invited leaders from another
church to talk about their healing m inistry. They
em phasized that as Christians we are already deeply
involved in g o d ’s miracle ofhealing. Every time we
visit som eone in need, send a card, deliver a basket
o f food, bake a cake, offer a prayer or sim ply share
a conversation over a soothing cup ofcoffee we are
offering G o d 's miracle ofhealing. W e could stop
feeling inadequate and start learning how to
improve. Then the miracle o f G od’s healing began.
