Divine Healing Absolutely Is for Today
by Dave Root






The blurb from the back of the book:
Does God heal anyone today?
Why aren't people healed no matter how much we pray?
How can we see healing in ourselves and in others?

If you're a Christian, you've probably asked yourself these or similar questions. In this thought-provoking book, Dave Root addresses these issues, providing a strong biblical foundation for healing.

Examining hundreds of Scripture passages, Divine Healing Absolutely Is for Today shines new light on physical healing, shifting our perspective, correcting our wrong assumptions, and demonstrating that divine healing is a vital part of Jesus's commission to the Church.

The book answers common questions and objections about healing, explains what actually happened at the cross, and discusses spiritual gifts, the laying on of hands, minimizing doubts and fears, the key factors for miracles, and much more.

With the practical teaching in this book, all Christians can heal the sick for the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ.

The intended impact of this book:
My article called End-Times Prophecies Are Coming to Pass Right before Our Eyes (see sign #19) explains that there might be a great revival, the "latter rain," in the end-times (the final years of the Church Age), and many pastors and ministries are praying for it to begin (search online for "last days revival"). The article shows that we're in the end-times now, and that the first raindrops of the latter rain have fallen occasionally in various parts of the world for approximately the past 300 years, so if God is going to initiate a full revival, accompanied by miracles, healings, and a massive harvest of people receiving salvation, then there's a very good chance that it will begin very soon.

The article also shows that there will be a great apostasy, a great rebellion or falling away from proper beliefs, before the Rapture and the beginning of the seven-year Tribulation period (the period when the Antichrist will be in power). This means it will happen during the last part of the Church Age and will overlap the latter rain revival because the Church Age and the revival will end at the Rapture, when Jesus will snatch up all Christians (alive or dead) and take us into heaven. This great rebellion or falling away from proper beliefs (prophesied by Jesus in Matthew 24:10-13 and by Paul in 2 Thessalonians 2:1-4) is currently being fulfilled in large part by the multitudes of Christians who are already denouncing the idea of a great last-days revival (as my end-times prophecies article shows in sign #19). Many (perhaps most) of those Christians believe that miracles, healings, and the so-called miraculous gifts of the Spirit ceased or died out during or shortly after the first century, but this form of apostasy (known as cessationism) is thoroughly refuted in my article called All Gifts of the Spirit Are Available Today. Jesus said "Whoever is not with me is against me, and...anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come" (Matthew 12:22-32). When Jesus initiates the full latter rain revival, accompanied by miracles through the power of the Holy Spirit, then Christians who denounce this revival and accuse the miracles of being demonic are speaking against the Holy Spirit and will not be forgiven (Matthew 12:22-32, above). This doesn't mean that they will lose their salvation; it means that they will be disciplined (perhaps severely) both in this life and in heaven (see section #11, #12, and #13 in my article called Cheat Sheet).

What the Lord has told me (see my article called How to Discern God's Guidance) is that since this book teaches exactly how all Christians can see miracles and healings for His glory, He intends to use this book for initiating the full latter rain revival around the world. No one knows how long this revival will last, but it will end when Jesus snatches up the Church (the entire body of Christ) and takes us into heaven. Many pastors and Bible teachers refer to that event as the pre-tribulational Rapture, which will bring the Church Age to a close (see my series called The Rapture of the Church). This book will be published in 2024, and my end-times prophecies article (see sign #19) shows why it's possible that the great last-days revival might last for 7 years, so the Rapture might now be 7 years away (if not sooner). Time will tell.

The Lord's intention is that the book will reveal the underlying schism that already exists within Christianity around the world. As my end-times prophecies article shows in sign #19, those who denounce the idea of a great revival in the future, saying that the end-times will be characterized by apostasy with no revival, are clearly and fundamentally mistaken. End-times prophecies tell us that there will be great apostasy and great revival in the future. These two opposing forces will cause great upheaval within Christianity around the world, revealing who is actually with Jesus (with revival) and who is against Jesus (against revival). Rocky times are ahead for the church.

If everything at my website (VividChristianity.com) says what God wants it to say then He will confirm that for you by doing a miracle (if you're a Christian). When you see the miracle, it means that He wants you to believe and/or do everything in all of the articles at my website (including this page) and in my book. See my home page for the details.

For the glory of the Lord Jesus, the Christ, the Son of God, who came in the flesh, was delivered over to death for our sins, and was raised to life for our justification.

"Therefore I want you to know that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, "Jesus be cursed," and no one can say, "Jesus is Lord," except by the Holy Spirit." (1 Corinthians 12:3)

"Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a person is the antichrist - denying the Father and the Son. No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also." (1 John 2:22-23)

"If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God." (1 John 4:15)

"Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world." (1 John 4:1-3)

"And this is love: that we walk in obedience to his commands. As you have heard from the beginning, his command is that you walk in love. I say this because many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist." (2 John 1:6-7)

"He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification." (Romans 4:25)
