”'Praise is inner health made audible' ”
A Healing House of Prayer contains daily readings for a month, each day covering a different theme. In addition readings for feast days and holy are included with a number devoted to various aspects of healing.
Healing is central to the gospel: healing the relationship between God and humankind is the very essence of Christ's work in his life, death, and resurrection.
During his ministry, Jesus healed lepers, blind men, the lame, a hemorraging woman, the demon-possessed, and even raised the dead. Morton Kelsey identifies 41 such instances in his book Healing and Christianity. Jesus involved his disciples in the work of healing; the book of Acts contains accounts of healing by Christ's followers, and the epistles of Paul discuss healing as a gift of the Spirit. For nearly 300 years, physical healing was an integral component of Christian life and faith as a sign of God's love, compassion, and care.
