David sings of God as the Healer of all our diseases as well as the Forgiver of all our sins (Ps. 103:3). It is told that Elijah and his successor, Elisha, healed the sick and raised the dead, showing that this healing power was known and practiced throughout the ages.

Solomon exhorts, "My son, attend to my words; for they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh." Prov. 4:22.

In Jesus, above all others, we have the teaching and example of Divine Healing.

He never, paid any attention to these means, but plainly taught the Power of the Divine Presence to keep men well and happy.
