Christ Our Healer Peter Smythe

Divine Healing
Many Christians suffer from sickness through the erroneous thinking that it's God will for them to be sick or that healing belong only to the apostles and the early church. Many ministers, on the other hand, those who preach healing, have confused the gifts or manifestations of the Spirit with the foundational doctrine of the finished work of Christ.

Origins of Sickness and Disease
The Apostle Peter's statement in Acts 10:38 that Jesus healed all who were oppressed of the devil demonstrates that the root cause of sickness and disease is Satanic oppression. Acts 10:38 also proves that God's method of healing is spiritual, and not physical, which is why we don't see Jesus administering medicines and home remedies in the Gospels.

He Bore Our Diseases
Isaiah the prophet was shown the spiritual side of the crucifixion in Isaiah 52 and 53. He saw that Jesus not only bore our sins, but our sicknesses as well. Matthew confirms the vision in his Gospel, and so do Paul, Peter, and James in their epistles.

The Need for Faith
Faith is the trust of what God has said he is going to do or what he has already accomplished. Christ our Healer lays out what he did in Christ regarding sickness and disease. The book is structured to give the believer a thorough understanding of healing in redemption and provide the foundation for him to pray the prayer of faith.

Writing Style
Christ our Healer is written in a condensed style, grounded in scripture. It's intended not only to give the believer a firm grounding in Christ's finished work for healing, but also to be a handy reference guide for what the Word says about healing from the Old Testament all the way through the epistles.
