Holy Spirit miracles - Power of God - Power from aboveHealing Ministry Many miracles have occurred during the prayers done at this section of the prayer meeting. Those who are given the gift of prayer and healing, can lead others to pray for those who are sick, everyone is invited to extend their hands and raise their spirits in supplication to the Lord for the prayers to be answered. Those who are more gifted, can lay their hands on the ones being prayed over. Remembering that the most effective way to obtain healing from the Lord is to bring those being prayed over to repent of their sins, to forgive those they resent, to forgive themselves and to accept the Will of God. Only the priest has the power to forgive sins here on earth, so we should recommend everyone to go to confession in order for the healing effects of the prayers to take place. St. James recommend that we anoint those who are sick with oil, although this is separately a Sacrament administered by the priest, any lay person can also anoint someone with oil, preferable blessed by a priest, and the good intentions of the heart and the prayers of a just person can obtain healing for the sick. [James 5:14-16] The Healing Ministry is a great manifestation of the Spirit of Charity working within us moving us with compassion and love for those who are suffering. Our ministry is not only confined to the prayer meeting, we must pray for all those people who suffer, we must pray for peace, we must pray for the gift of life to be preserved, we must pray for those who are contemplating something evil to stop. We must pray for one another because caring in this way is the same as loving one another. We can pray over the phone, we can pray on the street when we know that people need prayers, we can pray for sick people in hospitals, in fact the whole world is is need of prayer, so let us pray for one another. It is not for us to see the result of our prayers straight away or for all prayers to be answered according to our needs or petitions, when we pray we don't come to give directions to God, because that would be a sin, so we come humbly to present to the Lord the needs of those who are suffering. We always leave our petitions in the hands of Our Lord and we wait confidently and patiently for the results. If God answered our prayers every time, we would be filled with pride thinking that we are saints, so we have to accept first the Will of God, and if the healing is to contribute to that person's salvation, and if it is according to His Will, the Lord will respond positively. Many times, the Lord gives a sign when someone is being healed, even as we pray, the person may experience tremendous heat as if they were on fire. Other times a word of knowledge or a vision may be received in regards to the healing of the sick. Whatever happens, the Lord always hears our prayers. Amen.
