Jesus brought people into direct contact with the power with authority of God. Every healing and miracle revealed the glory of God and the reality of His kingdom. He gave the disciples authority to proclaim the gospel of the kingdom, to heal the sick, and to deliver the oppressed.
Receive Your Miracle Now presents a strong argument for the legitimacy of a Christian healing ministry in today’s church. By studying key passages of Scripture in both the Old and New Testaments, examining the thread of healing throughout church history, and presenting a theological basis for healing and deliverance ministry, Bob Sawvelle demonstrates that through the healing gifts Jesus is still glorified, the sick are still healed, the oppressed are still freed, and God’s kingdom continues to advance in the earth, as it ever has.

About the Author
Endorsements:
Dr. Bob Sawvelle has certainly laid a thorough foundation for the case of physical healing. Not only was healing intended for the first century, but it is equally intended for this century, as well. Bob’s personal journey of embracing healing will give affirmation to many who have been on that same journey, and it will inspire those who may have just begun this voyage. His scriptural support of healing in the gospel message throughout the Old and New Testaments clarifies its validity, and his examination of its history corroborates its presence in the kingdom of God today. I recommend Receive Your Miracle Now to anyone who is seeking to build on their foundation for ministering to the sick and oppressed.

I have known Bob and Carolyn Sawvelle for more than a decade, and have watched Bob develop from a fledgling pastor of a small congregation to the solid leader of a thriving revival-minded church that is having a vital impact in its community. The concepts of this book are not merely theoretical. They’ve been hammered out in the crucible of experience. With that said, Receive Your Miracle Now is not merely a compilation of testimonies of God’s healing power; it is a thorough examination of the biblical, historical, and theological perspectives of God’s continued outpouring of love and grace through healing and deliverance. All who aspire to be used by God in supernatural ministry will profit from this work.
