Experience Supernatural Healing
A supernatural manifestation of the power of God is something outside the natural course of things or the way things usually happen. As we go through life, there are going to be times when we are in special need. At those times we are a candidate for a miracle. If you believe in God, you must believe in miracles. God is a supernatural being and when He supernaturally intervenes in our lives, a miracle happens. Now that’s not to say that God is not involved in the normal course of events, He is, but miracles are when something out of the ordinary happens.
One of the areas of need that we all have from time to time is the need for healing. You and I need healing when something in our lives is damaged or cannot function properly. We need God to restore whatever it is that is sick to health. Actually there are many areas in our lives that need healing, areas that have been damaged by sin, either our own or the sin of other people or the effects of sin in the world as a whole.
Our greatest need is spiritual healing healing from the terminal disease of sin. That disease will result in an eternity spent without God, if it is not healed by Jesus. God doesn’t heal everyone. Why? One reason is that physical healing is not His highest priority, spiritual healing is. He decides how best to bring spiritual healing about. Two of my wife’s grandparents received the Lord on their deathbeds. They had to get close of the end of their lives in order to receive spiritual healing, then it was time for them to be with Jesus.
Yet, God wants to heal the physically sick much more than we have seen. NLT James 5:15 Prayer offered in faith will heal the sick, and the Lord will make them well. Two conditions for healing are in this verse. First we need to pray for the sick person, secondly, the prayer needs to be made in faith. Although medicine has greatly advanced and God works through doctors and drugs to bring about healing, they are many times when doctors do not have the answers or the prognosis is poor. At those times we need a supernatural healing from God. When I talk about healing, some of you may think about strange television evangelists or faith healers that pull people out of wheelchairs or push people over. For any spiritual truth, there will be those who take it to an excess but here at Full Life we want God’s best, in His way, in His timing. If you read your Bible, you will see that it is full of examples of God, of Jesus, of believers, bringing about healing of sick people through prayer. Those examples are there for us to learn from, for our faith to grow and for us to understand how God works so that we can experience supernatural healing in our lives.

I grew up in the church my whole childhood until I was about 17. My parents split up, and my mom moved me and my siblings to California, and we lost contact with our father. I went through physical abuse with my dad, and emotional abuse from my mom. My brother, sister, and myself grew up in a home where we had to learn to depend on each other because our parents weren’t really there for us. Our mom became very self righteous, and is involved heavily in her church, but she does nothing except to judge. I went through a period of time in my life that I am not exactly proud of, but it was a time of defining myself. I had a child and married at a young age, and went through a lot of emotional trauma because my son was born very sick. Then my husband was not involved with my sons care, and we had another child shortly after my son was born. During this time he was cheating on me. I went to the pastor of our church, and was dissapointed in the lack of care, and he informed us that he wasn’t trained for family counseling. Needless to say the family fell apart. Nine years later, I am remarried, and trying to work through all of this. I know God has to be the hub in my family’s life, and my husband and I agree on this. I know the church, and the bible, and I know God, but I have drawn away for the past years, not because I lost faith in God, but because I lost faith in people, and the church where I had attended. I want to put God first in my new family, and I am searching to put my life back together the RIGHT WAY. I am so sick and tired of the religion, and fake people. I am searching for a church. At this point what I have seen on your site has me interested. I hope to visit your church in the near future.
Full Life is a church that accepts people where they are in their spiritual journey. As we learn from God’s Word and grow in our relationship with Him, each of us becomes more like Jesus. I believe that you will find Full Life much different from your past experience with churches. We look forward to meeting you and your family.
