Overview

Reginald Cherry, M.D. says, "Prayer is the divine key that unlocks God's pathway of healing in both the natural and supernatural realms of life." In Healing Prayer, he explores the connection between faith and healing, the Bible and medicine. A practicing doctor, Cherry blends the latest research, true stories, and biblical principles to show that spirit-directed prayer can bring healing for disease. He helps readers understand the foundations of prayer in relationship to healing and become inspired to trust in God for their healing or that of a loved one. Expositions of biblical text, dramatic case studies, overviews of latest medical research, and step-by-step guidance for healing prayer help readers understand how medicine, faith, and prayer can work together.

“God has provided healing for us! In fact, if we rightly divide the Word of God, we discover that we were healed two thousand years ago as Jesus bore our sins, iniquities, and infirmities on the cross through His own blood (see 1 Peter 2:24; Matt. 8:17; Isa. 53:5). If healing is indeed an accomplished thing, many ask then, ‘Why am I still sick in my body?’ The reason is that we are not praying specifically for the manifestation of healing that Jesus has already purchased in His body. To realize this manifestation of healing, we must combine the ‘effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man’ according to James 5:16 (nkjv.) with the information God is revealing to us about healing anointing as it flows through natural substances that He created for the benefit of man.” (Pages 26–27)

“The supernatural connection is real. It can be traced back to the days of history. Today it is being studied by the high-tech world of modern medicine. Using the techniques of medical science, man’s greatest supernatural power—the power of prayer—is proving to be a vital factor in the healing of our bodies.” (Page 17)

“But healing often is a combination of the supernatural power of knowing how to pray specifically for disease combined with God’s healing anointing as it flows through natural substances.” (Page 22)

“He was just as healed as Bartimaeus, who was touched supernaturally by Jesus and instantly healed, but his pathway to healing was different.” (Page 23)

“Jesus was really saying, ‘Ask, and keep on asking, seek, and keep on seeking, knock, and keep on knocking.’” (Page 111)
