Miracles and Healings #4

In this 4th and final interview with my missionary friend who lives in the middle east, we hear some insights on ‘how to’ do healings and miracles.  We also learn to ask ‘what do I expect?’  Can we train our mind and heart to expect the supernatural? And what does it take to do miracles and healings?

I came across this fascinating dialogue between the main character, Mack, and God in the parable story entitled “The Shack”:

“But what about all the miracles? The healings?…Doesn’t that prove that Jesus was God–you know, more than human?”

“No, it proves that Jesus is truly human….Although he is also fully God, he has never drawn upon his nature as God to do anything.  He has only lived out of his relationship with [God the Father], living in the very same manner that I desire to be in relationship with every human being…”

“So, when he healed the blind?”

“He did so as a dependent, limited human being trusting in [God’s] life and power to be at work within him and through him.  Jesus, as a human being, had no power within himself to heal anyone.”–excerpt from The Shack, pg 99-100

If this is true, then we should also see healings and miracles as we trust in HIM?!

What do you think???
