Healing Seeds with Pastor Ryan Miller

Believing in healing does not produce healing.

Believing in Jesus Christ as your Healer is what produces healing.

One of my favorite Bible teachers is A.B. Simpson. On any subject, I find his teachings biblical, balanced, and Spirit-directed. This is also true of his teaching on divine healing.

I have found that his teaching on divine healing (like each subject he addressed) is Christ-centered & Scripture-based. It is an added bonus that he received the benefits he taught for himself--and so did many others around him!

After saturating myself in his books and articles on healing (And he was prolific in his writing!) for at least three years, I can clearly extract themes Simpson repeatedly emphasized:

1. Christ has purchased every provision of redemption, including physical healing.
2. Satan seeks to oppose believers from enjoying those provisions. There is a real enemy who is also a thief.
3. Faith must actively appropriate what Christ has provided.

If you have not been healed... yet... don't give up! Continue to visit this page for teaching, prayer, and encouragement as you continue to become whole, spirit, soul, and body.

John G. Lake is another missionary-evangelist from the early 1900's I have admired, from reading many of his published sermons.

On a ministry trip, several years ago, while in Spokane, I was able to visit both Lake's grave & the Healing Rooms based off the ministry Lake had there after coming off the missions field.

He would train ordinary believers to minister to the sick, and the sick came to be prayed for at his original Healing Rooms. It was like visiting a physician's office, but Jesus was the Healer!

At one point, Spokane was considered the healthiest city in the United States. A newspaper came to investigate & Lake had so many people who had been healed lined up to testify there was not time to hear all the accounts. Some thought Spokane was a unique thing that happened, so Lake went to Portland & other cities and established similar works with great success. His ultimate goal was to get ordinary believers to believe & pick up their Biblical mandate to minister healing to the sick around them.

Though it has since closed, I had launched healing rooms in Franklin County, PA years ago. So, it was an honor to visit this international ministry. A surprise was our friend, Carla Reed, setting up a surprise, private meeting & prayer time with the international director, Rev. Cal Pierce.

Most recently, last summer, I was able to meet Rev. Curry Blake, and sit under his teaching for three days, in Ashland, VA. I had followed his ministries since the late 1990's, so it was great to finally hear him teach in person. He was officially "passed" John G. Lake Ministries (JGLM) by Lake's daughter Gertrude Reidt.

I am sharing some of these memories tonight because FB popped up some memories from this trip today.

I have valued A.B. Simpson's teachings on healing for decades.

It was through C&MA historian & theologian Dr. Paul King's book, Only Believe, that I "found myself."

I knew that Simpson's teachings sounded "like" the teachings I grew up hearing in a Pentecostal demomination & when I heard certain Word of Faith preachers. But there were subtle differences.

I also knew I didn't fit neatly into either box completely--or neatly. It was through King's book that I discovered that there was a Christ-centered, Word-based healing movement in the mid-to-late 1800's, prior to even the Pentecostal movement in the early 1900's, that Simpson was a leader in.

Photos below include me standing behind both A.B. Simpson's pulpit & communion table from his church in NYC. Also pictured is one of his Bibles.

Though delayed, my re-print of his healing classic, The Gospel of Healing, really is nearing completion.

Lord, thank you that you are bigger than my diagnosis.

You are more powerful than the report, greater than what doctors have found or what medical science can explain.

This diagnosis feels overwhelming, defining, like it's the final word on my future. But it's not, because You have the final word and You are bigger than this.

Teach me to hold this diagnosis in perspective, to acknowledge it without giving it more power than You, to face reality while remembering You're greater than any reality.

You created my body, You know every cell, every system, every detail the doctors are just discovering. And You know what's a crisis to them is not beyond Your ability to handle.

Help me trust You with this diagnosis. To bring my fear and questions to You, to believe You're working even through medical challenges, that healing comes from Your hand.

Remind me that diagnoses describe current conditions, not final outcomes, and that You've healed the incurable before. Nothing is impossible for You.

Give me peace that doesn't depend on good news from doctors but rests in knowing my God is bigger than any diagnosis, any prognosis, any medical limitation.

Let me face this with faith, knowing my God is bigger than my diagnosis, trusting You whether You heal miraculously or sustain me through treatment. Because, either way, You are greater and I trust in You.

In Jesus' name,

Amen.

Here in central Pennsylvania, and in many communities (but not all) that have Amish populations, the Amish celebrate a day that most other Christians skip. However, the day has become more and more meaningful to me over the years.

Ascension Day! It is celebrated 40 days after Easter.

An article I will post in comments, that is worth reading, calls the Ascension the most neglected doctrine of all. It says, "Today is Ascension Day, but do most Christians care?"

The article points out: "Psalm 110 is the most frequently quoted or referenced Old Testament passage by New Testament writers. Why is that? I suggest it is precisely because it focuses on the Ascension, beginning with: “The Lord says to my Lord, ‘Sit at my right hand . . . rule in the midst of your enemies.’” The Ascension must have dominated the life of the early Church quite a bit."

I just wanted to acknowledge that today is celebrated as Ascension Day and that Jesus truly is King of kings and Lord of lords! Amen!!!
