Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.
–Jesus Christ in Matthew 23:13 (KJV)–
Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness,
but rather reprove them.
–Ephesians 5:11 (KJV)–
If thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into Hell. And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into Hell.
–Jesus Christ in Matthew 5:29-30 (KJV)–
By grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
–Ephesians 2:8-10 (KJV)–
Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past.
–Romans 3:25 (KJV)–
That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
–Romans 8:4 (KJV)–
Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness.
–1 Peter 2:24 (KJV)–

Believing that the Holy Spirit’s voice can speak to us today, in the midst of extreme suffering, is key to any experience of divine healing. In both testimonies shared here, the voice of the Holy Spirit played a role in divine healing. Because of oversimplifications about James 5, many Christians wrongly think that divine healing is about simply “mustering” up a trusting miracle mindset, with your own thoughts, all by yourself and then saying some prayers. No! The gifts of the Holy Spirit have got to kick in someplace for divine healings to occur. Here are some of the top books on divine healing, which include healing testimonies, that have been approved by Southern Baptist, Assemblies of God, and Church of God pastors:
