Principles of Healing: How to Receive Divine Healing

By Dr. Joshua Joy Dara Sr.

For years, I was skeptical about divine healing. I thought that it was too good to be true. But one day, I got very sick and I needed help. Like anyone with common sense, I went to the hospital to be treated by medical Doctors. I sought for the best of them because I could afford it and I certainly wanted to live. To my surprise, I found out that those Doctors are humans and they don't have all the answers. They did the best they could for me but my condition did not improve. So, I sought God and He healed me fully and completely. I discovered that there is something that is impossible with men, but with God, all things are possible. (Luke 18:27)

This book is not intended to bash the medical Doctors. To the contrary, I actually admire them. But for Doctors, many people would have died before their time. So, I am not anti Doctors. Instead, this book is intended to share with you a practical way to get healed. When the Doctors have done all they could do for you, it is good to know that there is a God who can heal your body and He has never lost a patient. More so, God's method is very effective. He works through Doctors, but He can heal without them. With God, there are no prescription drugs, no recovery room, and no need for a follow up appointment. In short, this book is not a fiction of someone's imagination. It is a practical guide to God's divine healing. If you need healing and you really want to know how God can heal you, I seriously encourage you to read this book. Believe me, your life will never be the same again.

Introduction

For years, I was skeptical about divine healing. I thought it was too good to be true. But one day I became very sick, and I needed help. Like anyone with common sense, I went to the hospital to be treated by medical doctors. I sought the best of them because I could afford it and I certainly wanted to live. To my surprise, I found out that doctors do not have all the answers. To their credit, they did the best they could for me, but my condition did not improve. So I sought God, and he healed me completely. From that experience, I learned a very serious lesson: some things are impossible for humans, but with God, all things are possible (Luke 18:27).

This book is not intended to bash medical doctors or the world healthcare system. On the contrary, I admire healthcare practitioners. Without them and the healthcare system throughout the world, many a person would have died before his or her time. So I am not anti medical doctors, and I am not against hospitals and medical clinics. Instead, this book is simply intended to share with you about the power of God to heal you. God is not in competition with the healthcare providers. In fact, most of the knowledge and expertise of healthcare practitioners and science at large came from God.

The blunt reality is that the best of the world’s healthcare system has its limitations. So when the scientists and the world’s healthcare system run out of ideas or simply have no clue about what ails you, it is good to know that God can heal your body. He has never lost a patient!

God’s method of healing is very effective. God can heal a person both naturally and supernaturally. He can work through physicians, hospitals, and clinics. God can also heal anyone without the world’s healthcare system. Amazingly, when God heals supernaturally, He doesn’t send you to a hospital recovery room, prescribe drugs, or tell you to come back to see him at a follow-up appointment.
