The Ministry of Healing
“In my hand no price I bring;
Simply to Thy cross I cling.”
“If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that be-
lieveth.”
Mark 9:23
. It is faith that connects us with heaven and
brings us strength for coping with the powers of darkness. In Christ,
God has provided means for subduing every evil
“For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and
plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee....
In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou
wilt answer me.”
Psalms 86:5-7
.
“If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord,
who shall stand? But there is forgiveness with thee,
that thou mayest be feared.... Let Israel hope in the
LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him

Psalms 130:3-7

trait and resisting every temptation, however strong. But many feel

these souls, in their helpless unworthiness, cast themselves upon the
mercy of their compassionate Saviour. Look not to self, but to Christ.
He who healed the sick and cast out demons when He walked among
men is still the same mighty Redeemer. Then grasp His promises
as leaves from the tree of life: “Him that cometh to Me I will in
no wise cast out.”
John 6:37
. As you come to Him, believe that He
accepts you, because He has promised. You can never perish while
you do this—never.
“God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were
yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
Romans 5:8
.
And “if God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared
not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not
with Him also freely give us all things?”
Romans 8:31, 32
.
“I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor
principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,
nor height, nor depth, nor any other creation, shall be able to separate
us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
