To another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; 1 Corinthians 12:9
It is God’s desire that you prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers as you live on this earth and God has made provisions for healing whenever the need for it arises. What an amazing Father we have.
The healing gifts of the Spirit take the plural form, which suggests that there are many ways of healing as there are lots of sicknesses and diseases in the world. The gift of healing focuses on the restoration of the human body from various ailments, injuries, and diseases. The process of healing is mostly not instantaneous but may manifest over a period of time. Jesus manifested this gift of healing when He healed the blind man in Bethsaida (Mark 8:23-25), another example was when Peter ministered to the man at the beautiful gate in Acts 3:6-8.
There are lots of healing done by Jesus and his disciples (after his ascension), this goes to show us God’s heart, He doesn’t want people sick or diseased, He wants them healed. So as a child of God, desire this gift, so you can become a tool in God’s hands, going about doing good, healing the sick as you see the Lord do, just like Jesus did (John 5:19- the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner). Therefore activate your healing today!

Muslims are rapidly growing. Drug addiction is a stain on Spain and rates as one of Europe’s spot for heroin and cocaine addiction. This in turn is a major contributing factor in the AIDS epidemic and the crime rate in the nation. Young people need the gospel, having given themselves over to postmodern materialism and hedonism.
Y: We are praying for effective outreach to the young people in the land.
