Prayer<br />
People experience<br />
healing through the<br />
power of prayer<br />
IN NORTHAMPTON,<br />
some <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Army</strong><br />
members prayed for<br />
their friend when a<br />
scan had showed a<br />
large tumour in his<br />
stomach. After their<br />
prayers, there was no<br />
trace of the tumour.<br />
In London, a <strong>Jesus</strong><br />
<strong>Army</strong> member prayed for<br />
her grandma, who subsequently<br />
recovered from<br />
cancer. Around the same<br />
time, a child at one of<br />
their children’s schools<br />
received healing.<br />
Another man was<br />
healed of a neck problem<br />
at a church event.<br />
<strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Army</strong> member,<br />
Hannah Asprusten, 23,<br />
said: “It’s exciting to see<br />
all the things that God is<br />
doing – and to be a part of<br />
it!”<br />
But it can’t be as simple<br />
as that, can it? Just pray<br />
and be healed? Well, no –<br />
and yes.<br />
<strong>The</strong> fact is that <strong>Jesus</strong><br />
does heal. He did it when<br />
He walked the earth, and<br />
He does it still, because<br />
He’s risen from the dead<br />
and has sent His Spirit<br />
to empower His followers.<br />
Christians can and<br />
should pray for people to<br />
be healed and restored by<br />
the power of <strong>Jesus</strong>.<br />
Yet not everyone is<br />
healed physically, and<br />
sometimes God<br />
works differently.<br />
Sometimes he<br />
brings peace to<br />
people suffering<br />
in sickness, or<br />
teaches us lessons<br />
through<br />
hard times. If<br />
God were a<br />
“slot machine”<br />
for instant<br />
healing, we’d<br />
soon see Him as<br />
nothing else.<br />
And death is a<br />
fact of life in our<br />
sin-wrecked world, and<br />
will remain so until <strong>Jesus</strong><br />
returns and makes everything<br />
new.<br />
But it is right to ask God<br />
to heal. God is good. He<br />
THE ADJUSTMENT<br />
BUREAU will surely<br />
be “must watch”<br />
material for fans of<br />
the Bourne movies.<br />
Matt Damon plays a<br />
senatorial candidate who<br />
falls in love with a woman.<br />
But if he’s going to fulfil his<br />
destiny (and she hers) he<br />
has to let go of her.<br />
<strong>The</strong> “Adjustment Bureau”<br />
are the shadowy “men<br />
in black” who watch the<br />
universe and are determined<br />
that the way they want the<br />
future to be will prevail.<br />
But the Matt Damon<br />
character wants to be with<br />
his woman, and this is<br />
Hollywood.<br />
Will it all end in tears and<br />
the seeming failure of his<br />
and her dreams, or will they<br />
live happily ever after?<br />
In real life, the unglamorous<br />
sacrifice of our agendas is<br />
sometimes called for.<br />
Witness the soldier in<br />
Afghanistan laying down<br />
his life for his brothers in<br />
arms, shielding them from<br />
the grenade blast with his<br />
own body.<br />
What would have been<br />
the state of America today<br />
loves us. He<br />
knows what’s<br />
best. We can<br />
trust Him.<br />
“HAS YOUR LIFE BEEN ADJUSTED?”<br />

if Martin Luther King had<br />
decided that speaking out<br />
against institutional racism<br />
was too risky?<br />
Would Gandhi have<br />
achieved all he had if he’d<br />
wanted a quiet life?<br />
What about the most<br />
famous person who has ever<br />
lived – <strong>Jesus</strong> of Nazareth?<br />
<strong>Jesus</strong> didn’t exactly<br />
relish the thought of going<br />
through crucifixion, the most<br />
obscene of all executions –<br />
but he willingly did so.<br />
Why? Because without his<br />
death on the cross none of us<br />
could be reconciled to God.<br />
<strong>The</strong> cross was a<br />
nightmare, far worse than<br />
any of us can imagine.<br />
That didn’t stop God, in<br />
<strong>Jesus</strong>, enduring it so that<br />
our future would be far<br />
better than we deserved.<br />
<strong>Jesus</strong> said “If you cling<br />
to your life, you will lose it;<br />
but if you give up your life<br />
for me, you will find it” (John,<br />
chapter 12, <strong>The</strong> Bible).<br />
Is there anything you<br />
wouldn’t – or couldn’t – give<br />
up for the one who gave<br />
everything for you?<br />
If there is, you need to<br />
adjust your thinking. Your<br />
future depends on it.<br />
