praying for others
“I have experienced and used a number of “models” of prayer ministry in my 30 years of ministry and have seen the Lord heal on many occasions. However, I have also witnessed people come for ministry and their physical symptoms or their other disclosed problems not being removed, which can lead to a disappointment with God. When I first heard of what John Ryeland and his team were doing, I was excited because their focus is not upon a person’s problems but upon enabling them to encounter the living God. This focus enables people to receive God’s touch upon their lives as He chooses and allows the Holy Spirit to minister powerfully. This “model” of prayer ministry also takes the pressure off the prayer minister to find out the “root” of the problem or to “fix” the person, allowing God to be the One who reigns over the ministry. As a church, our prayer ministry team have adopted the “Encounter way” of praying for people.”
Revd. Jane Hulme
We have probably all prayed for others, either in person or at a distance. Sometimes the results are wonderfully encouraging but at other times we may well have been left feeling confused! What is healing anyway?
​
Healing is more than simply seeing specific symptoms taken away. It is about us becoming the people we were created to be – and at the heart of this is an encounter with the living God.
