‘Kingdom Healing’ is the prayer ministry that Jesus brought, taught, and passes on to us through the Scriptures. It is a New Testament prayer life with New Testament expectations. The original church bore witness to the message of Christ, and God bore witness with them. God involved himself in the communication of the message of Christ by validating it to the hearers with the kingdom's signs and wonders. Led by Rev Mike Endicott, of Jacob’s Well, this course shows how they proclaimed the good news and saw hundreds healed, with comparative simplicity and ease. Rediscover, through this course, how to share in their extraordinary and effective healing ministry, the one they learned from the Apostles and from Christ himself.
