Power to Heal: Experiencing the Miraculous
There are many medical options available today for healing the body and mind, but few accomplish true healing–and none bring creative restoration. Many people live in the cycle of dependency and the endless search for relief, even allowing the fear of losing their healing to take hold after a small success.
With wisdom, revelation from God, and plenty of scriptural support, Joan Hunter reveals powerful truths about healing and being whole. There is good news! God wants to heal every person. His power is limitless, His plan is great, and He will provide for everything. We simply have to accept his vision and believe.
God knows everything, including the root causes of our diseases. Sin gives the devil permission to attack our bodies with sickness. God wants you to come before him in humble repentance and receive healing. He wants you to become the person He designed you to be.
Through this powerful book, you will...
"Gain complete and utter freedom from every type of oppression.
"Experience the unmatched power of forgiveness.
"Understand why blocks to healing exist in the church.
"Become proficient in prophesying the Word over yourself and others.
"Learn to sense the constant anointing, love, and power of God.
"Break the cycle of dependency and end the constant search for relief.
"Embrace the secure authority and anointing that every believer possesses.
"Allow God to reveal to you the causes of your sickness.
"Learn how to break personal and generational curses.
You are qualified simply because God has called you. He is not looking for your ability; He's looking for your availability. God believes in miracles. Do you?
"I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe." –Ephesians 1:18–19

The Power to Heal by Joan Hunter is one of many of her books that I am either currently reading or have read. In it, Joan gives detailed explanations with backing from Scripture verses, of how to pray for healing. She was healed in the year 2000 of breast cancer, of broken heart syndrome after a terrible divorce experience, and of financial ruin (she was dumpster diving with her four daughters for survival). God healed her of all three situations and she has gone on to become a healing evangelist who prays successfully for healing of thousands (having been around the world to pray) and who teaches others to pray for healing! Joan shows from the Bible that all Christians are meant to be able to pray successfully for healing. Jesus is the healer. We are His followers. She goes into detail about the different kinds of conditions and the types of prayers that work for these different conditions. This book is a reference book and one that I come back to over and over again. It is indeed POWERFUL!

Wonderful book for a Christian who is in interested in healing. I am a Christian EFT practitioner and much of what conventional Clinical EFT teaches is smack right on with what Joan Hunter says God does behind the scenes when He heals us.
All Christians know God DOES the healing no matter what modality we use, including modern medicine.
Tons of Scripture back-up to what she says.
God is amazingly creative in how He cares for us!
To God be all the glory! Amen!

Readable, practical, inspiring, and profound.
This is a great book for anyone wanting to learn how to practice Holy Spirit healing or to just get grounded in faith necessary to get it into action. I am optimistic for my own healing and I am excited to start praying for others more consistently. I recommend this book highly.

The insights shared by Joan Hunter certainly challenged my thought process as it relates to the power of healing and experiencing miracles in our world today. I found the scripture shared to provide the connection of word and action.

Can an evangelical Pentecostal Christian's instructions on healing (or other faith focused themes) provide enlightenment and direction to followers and students of interfaith, ecumenical, inclusivistic, metaphysical or mystical Christianity? Absolutely. But there are some requisites. First, we should have some comprehension of the tradition and mindset of the speaker/writer. Second, we should try to acquaint ourselves with the clichés, the jargon, the language interpretations used by him/her. Third, we should have a discerning heart about prejudices--our own and what appears to be those of the speaker/writer. What are the intents and motivations of the speaker/writer? Is intent being lost in doctrine or enhanced by it? The most significant determinant of enlightenment is whether we can share with the speaker/writer a joy in our Lord or Master, the love of "divine truth" and the assurance of grace, mercy and salvation. Can we find common ground in edification or do we allow prejudices or intolerance to block the flow of inspiration from the Source of Universal Wisdom?
Joan Hunter speaks of what she knows. She believes she has been anointed by the Holy Spirit to be a vessel for healing and thousands have experienced healing through her administrations. She has followed in the footsteps of her parents who had a successful hands-on healing ministry for decades. You can't argue with success. Miraculous healings do occur. (But, everyone should know that they are not exclusive to Christians.)
This is an excellent book of references, guidance and inspiration about healing for fundamentalist Christians, especially the charismatic or Pentecostal variety. For the more theologically liberal ("spiritually progressive", as they may like to call themselves) it can also be educational and even edifying--if prejudices are overcome. Miraculous healing can happen and is within the divine will. The first step is to ask for healing in prayer. Then the key is faith and assurance of God's restorative power for his children to reflect the Light of the world. But healing is not necessary instantaneous but can instead be a process that transforms over time. Sometimes the healing is spiritual and emotional rather than physical. Everything has a purpose and God's will is inherent whether it is materially distinguishable or not. "Trust in the Lord", "Go in peace" and "Fear no evil" are valuable guideposts along the way.
In Chapter 14 of the book, Hunter characterizes six steps to becoming what you believe and seeing yourself ministering to others in need. They are: 1. Ask, 2. Look, watch, pray, 3. Listen, 4. Relax, 5. Don't quit, and 6. Give thanks! These are wonderful paragraphs of advice.
Yes, some of Hunter's conservative prejudices against other ways to divine enlightenment (i.e. "outside her box") can be a disappointment. Her unswerving Biblical inerrancy position is expectedly conformist. And, her naming of the "enemy", Satan and the Devil may require a watered down liberal interpretation with concepts such as selfishness, egotism, inner darkness, evil intentions, etc. Hunter is also big on speaking in tongues and advocates glossolalia as the ultimate confirmation of the Holy Spirit's presence in each Christian's life. A liberal would opine that speaking in tongues can be a rare phenomena and not necessarily one which proves a prophetic presence. These particulars and a few others peculiar to her mindset should however not be allowed to detract from the overall value of her book for all who put hope in being healed and being the agent of healing.
