  1. Healing Prayer: Do We Really Believe In It Anymore?

  2. Where Are We Now? • Our history • Are we still in the same place of expectation and experience? • Why is this the case? • Is that ok? Or not ok?

  3. My Story • My early experience / expectation • My Vineyard introduction: pray for 200 • The Langley Vineyard • Healing conferences • Our present environment

  4. Faithful versus Faith-filled • Are we praying more out of compassion than out of faith? • Already / not yet: which is the exception and which is the rule? • Why keep placing so much emphasis on something that so seldom seems to work?

  5. A Shifted Focus • From disease to dis-ease (and restoring shalom) • Including the concerns of justice, creation care and unity • “Which is easier…?”

  6. Is It Us? • Wimber re: lack of faith (Luke 18) • Are we paying the price for faith that we did in the beginning? • To some degree we get what we fight to make room for

  7. Why Fight? • Healing is a “taste” of our / God’s desired end (resurrection)

  8. Why Fight? • The centrality of healing prayer in the New Testament and the first three centuries of the church • Ramsay MacMullen – healing and other “miracles” were the key to the early dramatic growth of Christianity within the Roman Empire – what about today?

  9. Building a Faith Environment • Establish a theology of healing • Learn how to pray prayers of command • No risk / no faith (create room) • Get healing prayer out of the church • Lower the bar (be a blessing)
