In recent time, there has been a growing number of people claiming to be healed of various ailments. Unfortunately many of these people are reported to have been re-infected with their sicknesses not long after being healed. I thank God for the genuine healings that occur, but what about the many who “get back sick”…
Most Christians would readily agree that in some way or another, physical healing is included as part of Jesus’ atonement. If it is not received in this life, definitely it will be in the next one. But the real question that causes division is, “Does the atonement of Jesus guarantee physical healing in this life?”…
Have you ever found yourself in a spiritual rut, where you seem to hit a ceiling in your walk with God? Your prayers seem to fall flat and you feel as though God is nowhere to be found? Then you begin to wonder if you committed the unpardonable sin, or if someone worked witchcraft on…
