Service of Healing and Wholeness

We welcome you to a special worship, a service of prayer for healing and wholeness time. This service is for healing of every kind, whether physical, spiritual, or emotional. As Christians, we believe God is the source of wholeness in our lives. Therefore, it is appropriate for us to conduct prayers for wholeness and healing. Some of us need healing from broken relationships; some of us need healing from psychological distress; some of us need the gift of physical healing. None of us is exempt from needing God’s healing presence in our lives.

A service of prayer for healing and wholeness is not a new activity for the church. Healing services are an ancient and accepted practice. Numerous prayers for healing are as old as the Bible itself. The disciples, following Jesus’ example, anointed the sick and prayed for healing. Scripture invites us to pray for healing. The book of James, for one, states that “If anyone is sick, call the elders and pray for that person and anoint that person with oil in the name of the Lord.” James 5:14 In Biblical times, oil was a symbol of God’s healing properties. As Christians, we believe Jesus is the physician of our souls. We look to his healing strength that reaches to every level of our being.

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because the Lord God has anointed me to bring good tidings to the afflicted, He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted. Isaiah 61:1
