“Our organization does not build faith homes or healing homes for  the sick nor build community centres to live freely. 

“Let us consider what God committed into the Apostles when  Jesus Christ the Son of God was about to leave this earth. Let us see this in  the Gospel according to St Mark, Chapter 16: 17, 18:  

'And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast  out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;  

'They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not  hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.’ 

“This was what Jesus Christ told the Apostles when He was about  to leave this world. This is the privilege which Christians have that if they  fall sick, and the ministers of God lay hands on them and pray for them in  the name of Jesus, they shall recover. 

“Moreover, Apostle James also tells us in his Epistle, James 5:13-15: 'Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing  psalms. 

'Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church;  and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: 'And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise  him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.' “Here we can see the great privilege which Christians have. If anyone is afflicted, he should himself first of all pray. Should the affliction  be sickness, the Word of God tells him to call for the elders of the church to  pray for him. It is not said here that they should call for Luke, the  physician. Luke was a disciple of Jesus, being a physician before he  became a disciple of Jesus Christ. Apostle James did not say here that they  should go to Luke because he was a physician before, for medication in  order to recover. Rather, he told them to go to the elders of the church. 

“There are many people who go to men after the flesh for help.  Certainly, such people are not children of God. If they had once been  children of God, as long as they could no longer trust in God, their love for  God has been drawn back. Therefore, they are no longer children of God. 

“Sometimes when the ministers of God want to pray for us, they  ask us to search our hearts and critically examine our lives; because God  may be speaking to us through the problem which we have. We should  surrender to God. Otherwise, our affliction will persist. But if we search  our hearts, the Word of God will tell us to confess our sins, if our sickness  has come because of sin, so that our prayer may be answered. We should  not find this a difficult thing to do if we sincerely desire to be healed.  

“Sometimes God talks to us about the vow which we have made  but failed to pay. God will want us to pay our vow so that He could heal us.  Let us see Psalm 50:14 and 15: 

'Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High: 'And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt  glorify me.'  

“Which vows have we made that we have not paid? We certainly  talked to God when we were praying for our salvation, sanctification and  the baptism of the Holy Spirit. All the things which we told God then that  we would do or be for Him are vows. If we have defaulted after God has  saved us, God may bring us into compliance through sickness. 

'Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows.' 

“God says that thereafter you should call upon Him, He will  deliver you, and you will glorify Him. God will then answer your prayer.  When we pay our vows and walk right with God, He will undertake for us in moments of need and affliction. There is no ailment in our body, no  matter the nature, that the Power of Jesus cannot remove.
