We need to believe in supernatural mani-
festations. We need to expect them. But
in the meantime we must preach God's Word,
and believers should continue to feed on His
Word concerning divine healing to keep their
faith strong.
Healing belongs to us!
We must endeavor to help sick people to
understand that God wants them healed
one way or the other.
Either by supernatural manifestations of
the Spirit of God or by getting the Word into
them so that their faith will rise up in their
hearts.
Then when hands are laid on them and they
are prayed for; they can receive their healing
through combined faith.

In Chapter 4 of Luke, Jesus said that when
there was a great famine in the land during
Elijah's time; there were many widows in
the Israel.
"But unto none of them was Elias sent, save
unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman
that was a widow" [vs 26].
Even though Elijah had God's power in his
life, he couldn't make it work for everybody.
But because he was sent to this particular
widow's house, there was a continuous
miracle. The meal barrel never emptied, it
kept giving out meal and the cruse of oil
never stopped.

The Amplified New Testament says, "He
laid His hands on a few sickly people."
They were just sickly, nothing like being
blind, deaf, crippled or palsied.
W.E. Vine's Expository Dictionary of New
Testament Words also brings out the fact
that the Greek reads, "He laid His hands
on a few sick folk with minor ailments and
healed them."
