Description

One of the first books ever written by Oral Roberts, If You Need Healing, Do These Things was originally published in 1947 shortly after Roberts began his healing ministry. As a young man dying from tuberculosis, who experienced the healing power of God for himself, Roberts wrote a book that still speaks profoundly to all people who are sick or hurting in some area of their life.

Can God heal? Will He heal me? If You Need Healing, Do These Things answers those questions...and more. Written by someone who knows what it is like to lose all hope and to walk the very steps you may be walking right now, If You Need Healing, Do These Things is a down-to-earth, practical "handbook" on how to get into position to receive whatever miracle you need from God.

What This Book Means to Us Today…and What It Can Mean to You
A personal word from Richard and Lindsay Roberts

I cannot remember a time in my life when my dad was not preaching the Gospel and praying for the sick. As a little boy, I well remember how much I missed him when he was gone from home conducting great healing crusades throughout this country. Sometimes he even went so far as to take my mother with him! But in the summer-time when school was out, we often joined him on the road. I loved to watch him pray for the sick as he laid his hands on the thousands who came through the prayer line…and I loved the healing miracles I saw. Watching him in the crusades put the desire in my heart for the healing ministry I’m in today.
If You Need Healing, Do These Things was written out of my dad’s personal experience many years ago of coming to know that God wants to heal us and make us whole. All of us face sickness and “dis-ease” in some area of our lives—whether spiritually, physically, emotionally, financially, in our family, or in any other way. Through this book, I believe you can learn to receive the miracles of wholeness that God has for you and those you love.

I couldn’t be more thrilled at the re-release of this 1947 classic, If You Need Healing, Do These Things . Each word that went into this manuscript so many years ago was a direct result of the power of God healing a young man dying from a deadly, devastating disease and giving him back a life to be lived for God.
I have been a Partner with the Oral Roberts Ministries since I was 12 years old. I’ve read every book Oral has ever written, and I still consider If You Need Healing, Do These Things the best book he’s ever put in print. Although other books are of great benefit in other areas, If You Need Healing, Do These Things is—in my opinion—the best step-by-step book written. I believe reading the Bible principles of healing can bless you as you discover God’s desire for His children to be whole.

Introduction
AS A REBELLIOUS teenager I ran away from home and did not return until I was carried there and laid on my bed to die. Day after day I hovered between life and death, knowing that tuberculosis was destroying me. I felt alone. I felt utterly lost and that life was passing me by. I said bitter things to my parents. I hated my sickness. I hated the day I came into the world.
Every person who has been seriously ill and bedfast for months or years knows this feeling. A rage burns deep within at the forces which have reduced him to this condition.
Many laymen and ministers came to my bedside to pray for me. My parents constantly prayed and sought God for me. But I was not reached until somebody spoke just seven little words to me, “Oral, God is going to heal you.” This is why I was saved and healed. Someone told me that God was on my side, that He wanted to make me well again. God did heal me! And He commanded me to take this message of deliverance to my generation.
My vision is to minister to the peoples of the world with the goal of seeing them made whole in mind, body, and soul. Because my ministry includes praying for the physically ill, most people think that when I use the word “healing” I refer only to the healing of physical sickness. But Jesus looked upon healing as touching the whole man. He taught that when the spirit is out of harmony with God or out of harmony with people, it affects the body. Jesus saw people in disharmony with themselves, with their society, and with God; and He touched them at the point of their need.
In this book, you will learn that healing is more than physical. Healing is wholeness. And you will learn the steps to your healing and wholeness. You will learn the rules of faith for your healing and wholeness.
I believe, because of my experiences, I can speak to you through this book; and as you read and apply its message to your own needs, you can be made every whit whole.

1: Six Steps to Your Being Healed and Made Whole
JESUS CHRIST did not come with a life-shortening suggestion but with a life-saving power. His highest wish is for us to prosper and have health in both soul and body.
He said, Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth (3 John 2).
The story of Jesus is the story of deliverance. In the power of His pure and healthy being and in the strength of an undivided personality, the Master of men came into this world to bring release to man from his fears and frustrations, from his spiritual, physical, and mental illnesses, and to make him a whole man.
The healing that Jesus brings is more than spiritual, more than mental, more than physical—it is those and more. His healing is to make us “whole”—healthy in soul, mind, and body, healthy in our relationships with others, in our attitudes, our habits, in our way of life, all the days of our lives.
Jesus is a complete Deliverer from the hurts and ills of life.
A legend of the Cross
There is an old legend handed down that tells how even the wooden cross on which Jesus died brought healing:
“Helena, the mother of Constantine, while on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, gave instructions to search for the cross of Christ. As the workmen looked through the rubbish heaps of Calvary, they found three crosses, but the inscription which was over the head of Christ was lying in a separate place. There was no clue as to which of the three crosses was the one on which our Lord died.
“Maarius, the minister of the Christian church in Jerusalem, said, ‘We will test the true cross.’ The sick were gathered together. They tried one cross, but there was no leaping of the lame nor opening of the eyes of the blind. They tried the second cross, yet there was no response. But when they tried the third cross, blind eyes were opened, deaf ears were unstopped, the lame leaped to their feet, and the sick were made whole.”
The wooden cross that stood on Calvary is gone. The Christ who hung thereon is ascended and reigns from heaven. Outwardly we see the Cross no more. But Jesus the Person lives on, and in Him the lost, straying, suffering multitudes of every generation may find perfect deliverance. Jesus Christ is as real today as when the multitudes saw Him with their physical eyes. He is spiritual reality—the center of the plan of redemption of humanity—spirit, soul, and body.
God’s abundance of life
The Bible reveals a loving and helpful Redeemer. He overshadows, surrounds, and undergirds those who place their trust in Him. With ever-active concern He watches over us. The details of our human existence are so important to Him that He has numbered the hairs of our head (Luke 12:6,7). The sparrow cannot fall to the earth without this same concern being aroused; and by Him the lilies of the field are clothed.
My life, your life, are as necessary to God’s design as the thread the weaver weaves into the pattern of his carpet. Not only am I responsible to God but also He is responsible for me. The course of our lives is His business.
God seeks to give men life—more abundant life—life in its abounding fullness of joy and strength. He is life itself and seeks to share it with us. When the people struggling with fear, frustration, sickness, and sorrow could get to Him, they found Him full of healing and ready to set them free. He would say, Thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace (Mark 5:34). And it didn’t make any difference who the people were. If they would change their attitudes and have faith, they could experience His power to make them whole.
He wanted the person to have faith in God and to change his way of life so he could use his faith to successfully meet the enemies of life.
The Bible tells of a woman, whose name was not even important enough to be recorded, who had dragged herself in and out of the hospitals of her day only to be told nothing could be done to cure her “bloody issue.” One day she heard of Jesus and said, “If I can touch the border of His garment, I shall be made whole.” By this act she was able to release her faith. Jesus asked, “ Who touched Me?” When the disciples reminded Him that the entire crowd was brushing up against Him, He said, “Yes, but this was a different touch.” The reason was that Christ declared He felt healing had gone out of Him and had entered her and she was made whole. (See Mark 5:25-34.)
This woman, unknown to Jesus’ group, had come with her need. When she touched Him in faith, she tapped the healing power of Christ and was instantly cured of her malady. This is a beautiful example of God’s abundance of life which is available to all of us.
If this sounds too good to be true, then please read and believe this Scripture where Jesus said, I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly (John 10:10). Jesus is a fountain of life, and whoever turns away from sin so that his soul is unfettered and his faith can be released can receive this abundant life.
Jesus’ greatest thrill is
