The people you'll meet in these pages have high hopes that their stories will give readers a faith-lift. These stories demonstrate the awesome power of prayer. Many readers will identify with someone in these stories. These stories include a variety of miracles. In a few cases, it was the Lord, "Doctor Jesus," working alone, who pushed aside the enemy. In other cases, it was the teamwork of down-to-earth doctors and nurses used by Jesus to facilitate healing. Medical professionals did not always offer hope. In these real stories, some actually pronounced patients dead. However, the miracles had one thing in common: Someone was calling on Doctor Jesus. Countless mysteries are associated with the subject of divine healing. No one understands why God heals some people, but not others; or why God allows some faithful Christians to suffer, yet He often seems to bless the lives of unbelievers. We just need to acknowledge that God's ways are higher than ours, and these mysteries are simply beyond our understanding. How can we possibly understand the One who created the whole universe; everything that lives; everything that breathes? One thing we know for sure: God loves us more than we can imagine, and He has a wonderful purpose for our lives when we put our lives in His hands. As we study the examples of Jesus healing various people in the Bible, we learn that the key is faith. Some were healed because of their personal faith; some were healed by the faith of Jesus or His disciples; and some were healed by the faith of a loved one. These same principles hold true today. Faith itself is a spiritual gift from God. So if we are weak in faith, we can ask God to increase our faith...and He will.
