In our final episode in our series, we explore what the key is to sustainability and longevity in the area of healing. Now more than ever, we are to be eagerly seeking God and His presence in our lives. It is from this place of intimacy that we get to co-labour to see Jesus get His reward.
Listen to episode 11 and find out why it is important that we pursue healing the sick as born again Christians.
We wrap up our talks about victories in this episode as we focus on how sin can affect healing, as well as looking at what role compassion plays in ministry to the sick. Jesus sets a clear example in both of these principles, so we draw our inspiration from Him once again.
In part 2 of our "victories" angle to understanding what contributes to seeing more breakthroughs in our ministry to the sick, we find out more about how 'feeling the anointing' and 'faith' are principles that can be indicators of imminent healing.

Listen and find out how scripture highlights the presence of the anointing of God on a person as a contributing factor to see the sick healed.
In episode 7, we find out why things don't always turn out the way we believed for, and possible reasons why. Disappointments are inevitable in the ministry of healing. We can learn from all our experiences and use them as fuel to walk in greater breakthroughs.
"I do believe...BUT" This statement is true for so many believers when it comes to praying for the sick. There seems to be more questions than answers. The reality is that Jesus showed us how to respond by focusing on what we do know instead of what we don't. We introduce the next set of episodes and how we will go about finding answers to our "why's and but's"
In this episode, we are faced with Biblical truth that either gets you off the fence or out of the game completely, when it comes to healing. It is crucial that we know what we believe and why we believe it. Knowing God's will for healing sets you on a path of signs, wonder and miracles.
This episode unpacks the Biblical truth behind "what" diseases can be healed, and "who" can expect to be used in the ministry/gift of healing.
In this episode, we learn that there is One God who stays the same throughout history. BUT, He did, however, change the rules at different points in history. Listen to find out why this matters to you as a new covenant Christian.
In Episode 2, in our series on healing, Waldo explains how the Bible gives us great evidence through the life of Jesus to help us know God's will for healing.
In this episode, Waldo looks at the first building block of what makes up the biblical foundation for healing. Asking yourself "what do I believe" is always a good starting point. In this episode, we look at "what do you believe about the source of sickness".
In the introduction to this new series called Healing 101, Waldo talks about what you can expect from this series and how it will help you to be more effective and confident to minister to the sick.

Do you find yourself or someone you know battling for health? Well, the scriptures give us clear promises that God wants us well. We must put our trust in Jesus and His Word and fight to see these promises fulfilled. You can walk in increasing health!
In this episode, we open the book of Joshua and see how the Israelites cross over the Jordan to possess the land that God had promised them. Rahab plays a key role in God's plan and she and her family are ultimately blessed by her obedience.

In this episode, we run through the book of Deuteronomy and see three themes repeatedly brought up. 1 - Remember what the Lord has done 2 - Fear God 3 - Love God
Our days are filled with opportunities to partner with the "spirit of the world". This includes fear, anger, apathy, hatred, rebellion...the list is endless. But what would happen if we as Christians realised that the One who lives in us is greater than the one who is in the world? And we as His ambassadors, are called to change the atmosphere outside of us with the One inside of us.
Could it really be that sin has no hold on me? Well, if you consider yourself to be dead to it, then, yes! A dead person cannot commit sin. Listen to the good news that you have been given a new nature having been made a new man(or woman). Now go and sin no more.
In the final instalment of the book of Numbers, Garth gives us interesting insight into the bizarre, yet true, occurrence of Balaam's donkey speaking to him. We see how God can use even a sorcerer to pronounce His truth. Take a listen.
Philippians 4:19 tells us that whatever our need, God is able to provide for us, according to His riches in glory. He is the owner and sustainer of all things and He wants to take care of His children. Will you trust Him for it, today?
In this episode, God makes it clear that He is not pleased with those who conspire against His anointed. As Christians, we can easily be drawn into conversations or environments that stand in opposition to those whom God had chosen as leaders. This episode teaches us that we are better off trusting God than planning a coup.
Did you know that God has given you the grace and innate ability to live in such a way that you are free from lawlessness and ungodliness, enabling you to do what is beautiful in His eyes?
How often do you wonder if your prayers really do change anything? James reminds us that because of our righteousness in Christ, we can have confidence that our prayers are powerful and effective.
