Synopsis

The manuscript is divided into eight distinct parts:
1.Part I: Few Christians have made a study of the twenty six healings of Jesus detailed in the Gospels. This section introduces the healings, and provides an explanation of the Biblical model of health. Additionally, introductory information for Christians involved in healing ministry is provided.

2.Part II: Healings Involving Faith. Six healings are focused on the faith of the supplicant. It becomes evident from the responses of Jesus to these supplicants how He uses the opportunity to grow their faith.

3.Part III: Healings During the Sabbath. Sabbath healings became a repetitive source of conflict with the conservative Jewish authorities. The discussion of the four healings in this section reveal why they were so contentious, and that Jesus deliberately performed them in full knowledge of the consequences.

4.Part IV: Healings Involving Demons. Demon possession was commonly accepted as a source of illness in the time of Jesus, and He was able to heal many who were tormented by them. Demonology is reviewed here through five healings, and specific lessons concerning the interaction of Jesus with these creatures are presented.

5.Part V: Healings Involving Sin and Disease. The Bible does present sin as a source of disease, but Jesus clearly taught it was not the only source. In the four presented healings, Jesus explains the connection between sin and disease.

6.Part VI: Healings of Blindness and Deafness. Physical blindness and its metaphoric connection to spiritual blindness is revealed in the four healings of this section. Jesus employed His saliva in two of these, and possible explanations are presented.

7.Part VII: Raising from the Dead. Jesus raised three people from the dead. As part of the Trinity, it is arguable that He also raised Himself, bringing the total to four. In addition to providing a study of the three healings, the foundational importance of resurrection to Christianity is discussed.

8.Part VIII: Two Appendices: My Morning Prayers and Healing Prayers for My Patients. These two appendices provide model prayers for readers involved in Christian healing.
