From Robin's Breakout Group:

Question A2 asked us the difference between Healing & Saving.

Healing can be psychological or physical. It can be major or minor, not necessarily life-threatening. Biblical healing symbolizes a new beginning with spiritual forgiveness along with physical healing. A dynamic duo.

Saving is an act of prevention of death. A spiritual or earthly death.

Biblically it soul salvation.

Jeremiah 17:14 says "Heal me O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me and I shall be saved; for you are the One I praise.

Healing verses include:

Mark 6:56                         Mt 8: 14-15    

Mt 8:13                           Isaiah 53:4-6

2 Kings 20:5                     Malachi 4:2

Mt 9: 20-22                     Mt 9:6-7

Acts 3: 6                         * Luke 6:19

In the Bible when you lookup save the dictionary directs you to salvation - not physical healing.

Healing begins:

With a spirit of righteousness

Healing only comes in Jesus name

Healing requires grace & faith. Eph 2:8

   "             "        a heart that believes  

   "             "        a profession of faith. Romans 10: 9-10

   "             "        standing firm to the end. Mt.

   "             "        baptism & belief   Mark 16:16

   "             "        Calling on the name of the Lord

   "             "        Repentance  2 Peter 3:9

   "             "        believers to do the "will of my Father"  Mt 7: 21-23

2Peter 3:9 

 "The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead, he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance."

Luke 13:3

"I tell you no! But unless you repent, you too will perish."

Paul reminds us that though we may be at the end of our rope; we are never at the end of our hope.

Closing Prayer

(from Aida)

Lord we thank you for blessing us with the freedom and opportunity to come together as a group of believers to learn and discuss about your healing powers and miracles.

Father we ask now to touch us with that same power.  Fill us with the healing power of your Holy Spirit.

Cast out anything that should not be in us.  Mend what is broken.  Let the warmth of your healing love pass through our bodies to make new any unhealthy areas so that our bodies will function the way you created them to function. 

Father help us to feel Jesus comfort, love, peace, healing to restore to full health our minds, our bodies, our emotions, and our souls so that we may serve and follow you the rest of our lives.  Remind us to always remember you are our healer, to praise you and to give you all the glory as you walk closer with us through our storms and you help us reach our resurrection day when we will be joined with you …we ask through Christ Our Lord. Amen.
