When people witness healing after prayer (and laying on hands), a large amount of doubt is often sown. Especially in our conservative, Calvinist country full of sober Dutch people, as it is called, that is common. First see, then believe and when people see it, they don't believe. First prove that it is really healing and not an imagination, is it said, for example.

There was also such an incident in the Bible. That was in Jesus' time, when He - God Himself - personally provided the healing. The fact that it happened on the Sabbath made the situation very suspicious at the time. And, to be honest, things also got a lot out of hand. But there was considerable resistance from the so-called experts at the time, the Pharisees.

Do you know why I'm sharing this now? Last week, it was like big news, about the digital highway. It was read on various (social) media. A general practitioner has received his PhD for his research into the phenomenon of prayer healing. General Practitioner Dick Kruijthof did extensive (international) research into this phenomenon. He had to ignore his skepticism and now has his doctorate. God is greater, I say, following my pastor.

My wife Rachel and I have experienced several times that God is actually Jehovah Raphah, the Physician par excellence. Both personally, deep inside, and through our prayers for others. We know who healed us and that He always does a good job.You can read a few things about that, also here on Yoors.
