Revelation 21:3-4 The book of Revelation is a great and yet often misunderstood book. It contains some great and iconic images and in these final chapters, we are given a picture of the new heaven and new earth. In this place we are told that the former things would pass away. In this new holy city everything will be healed …
2 Corinthians 12:7-10 One of the greatest lies told in the church is that healing depends on the amount of faith you have. I am afraid that just does not stack up. Healing is complex and we should never assume the lack of healing is about a lack of faith. Paul’s thorn is probably the physical abuse he received as …
Acts 3:1-10 Whenever I read this passage, I ask myself the same question, “Why hadn’t Jesus healed this man?” We are told that the man was laid at the beautiful gate at the temple every day and he had probably begged there for the majority of his life.

This verse encourages us to do the same. Here God instructs the people that, when times of famine, drought or disease comes …
Leviticus 25:19-22 If you were told to take a year off, you would understandably ask the question, “How will I afford to live?” This is exactly what the Israelites would be doing when instructed to let the land rest for a year. “How will we eat?” “How will we survive?” God, though, has this in hand. He tells them that …
Of all the Jubilee themes healing is the most difficult to talk about. The subject is not black and white, there is no magic formula to receiving healing. Some of us reading this will know people who have been healed and others will know of people who haven’t. There is no rhyme or reason and there aren’t really words that …
