Prayers of Healing

I have been wrestling with an issue for nearly 6 months now. Basically it is whether I should do as man prefers or as God prefers, more specifically what to do with the lack of interest in the Wednesday night service. I know it should be a no-brainer…but hey, I am human too! After much time in prayer seeking direction, God has spoken to me thru the words of John Wesley: “I have frequently said that it is not a sin to be sick or to die. It is, however, a sin for sickness and death to go unchallenged because there is no one to pray.” So, following my conviction of sinful neglect, at next Wednesday night’s prayer service we will have a healing service. There we will offer prayer for specific persons along with anointing and the laying on of hands. I have offered this before on Sunday mornings, but the response has been disappointing. After the reaction during the recent Revival services, I again realized the need in this church for such a time of prayer. So after conversation with others and prayerful consideration, I will offer this opportunity at the Wednesday night service. It is currently my goal to offer a healing service monthly, though I am willing to offer prayer and anointing at any/every service I preside over. Perhaps as we come together with the purpose of invoking God’s healing touch on those among us who suffer, we can be further molded into the body that God has called us to be.
