Testimonies for the Church Volume 8
Teaching and Healing
The Lord’s people are to be one. There is to be no separation
in His work. Christ sent out the twelve apostles, and afterward the
seventy disciples, to preach the gospel and to heal the sick. “As ye
go,” He said, “preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal
the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye
have received, freely give.”
Matthew 10:7, 8
. And as they went forth
preaching the kingdom of God, power was given them to heal the sick
and cast out evil spirits. In God’s work, teaching and healing are never
to be separated. His commandment-keeping people are to be one.
Satan will invent every device to separate those whom God is seeking
to make one. But the Lord will reveal Himself as a God of judgment.
We are working under the eyes of the heavenly host. There is a divine
Watcher among us, inspecting all that is planned and carried on.
