Reference: Doing the Supernatural Works of Jesus by Everett Cox. Available on Amazon.
Several of my recent Avalon Chronicles reference this valuable book. Here is a personal report of a supernatural healing. It would have been difficult for me to believe in God's healing by my own asking, if I had not personally witnessed it. In early 2024 my wife was knocked down in a restaurant, suffering a three hour surgery and four breaks in her femur. She has become mobile again, but with a limp as her injured leg shortened about a quarter inch or so. We have coffee together every morning and a couple of weeks ago I felt so sad she was limping as she walked toward the kitchen.
I had read Everett's book the first time in 2014 and had just reread it again. Believe me, if you read this book and apply its spiritual principles, you will never be the same again! Let me tell you upfront it will require a commitment of self-revelation about spiritual matters. Chapter 11 is on Physical Healing. That same afternoon I asked Linda to sit with me for me to pray for her healing. She consented and the key element in the healing process is to recollect everyone about whom one has harbored unforgiveness or bitterness or resentment through life. She had gotten so accustomed to harboring ill-feeling about a hurt from as far back as her childhood from a person that even now is already deceased. She forgave her. That becomes unsettling to recollect all one's past hurts. It becomes brutal emotionally, but critical to the process. But, the exercise brings results. After she had spent one hour recollecting her past hurts, recalling all the past harmful memories and my listing them, she forgave all and we prayed for her healing and lengthening her leg. Forgiving does not require a liking of the individuals.
She got up and walked away without limping!!!!!! We had to witness it to believe it. This was not a spiritual game with God. It was serious and Jesus healed her. She hurt her right hand a year ago, when she overworked it. We prayed last night and the hand was healed and by this morning!
When we accept membership in the family of God and proclaim our belief that God's Son died on that cross at Calvary two thousand years for the redemption of us and our sins, we join the membership that far surpasses all the groups to which we pay annual dues. God desires we benefit from Jesus' passion. Here Linda and I are in our early '80s, we have attended church for decades, we have heard hundreds of sermons, read dozens of "religious" books, but never have we been at the spiritual level we now are after reading and absorbing and applying Everett's book. Our faith matured us and we applied Jesus' teachings.
We will never be the same again1 Praise God, our Father in Heaven, who sent His son to live amongst us for 33 years, died on the cross and was resurrected. When Jesus returned to Heaven, he left the Holy Spirit to continue to minister to us.
