The Spiritual Use of Prayer Cloths

Acts 19:11-12 King James Version (KJV)

11 And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul:
12 So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them.
This cloth we use has been anointed with oil and prayed over, trusting that God will minister to you as you apply it in faith.

There is no healing power in the cloth, but handkerchiefs and aprons were used by the Apostle Paul, and many have testified to prayers answered by using anointed cloths. Our God knows just what we need. As you apply the cloth, we are trusting in Jesus, our mighty Healer and great Physician, to perform the miracle you need. 

Matthew 9:29 King James Version (KJV)

29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.
Matthew 8:16 King James Version (KJV)

16 When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick:
Isaiah 53:5 King James Version (KJV)

But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
I have heard many testimonies over the years of people being healed as a cloth or a Bible, or a Christian Magazine were prayed over and given to an individual. God works in many ways and when we have faith as a little child I believe all things are possible.

I will share one little story about a man some of you knew and many of you never heard of, his name was M.A. Tomlinson and he was General Overseer of the Church of God of Prophecy. Each week before the church magazine was mailed he would go to the shipping department and pick up a few workers on his way to go pray for the White Wing Messenger. He believed that if just one person receiving it would be blessed it was worth all the effort of mailing it. Over the years many testimonies were giving of loved ones saved, uplifted, and healed. What a treat it was to see this event take place each week.

Healing is of God. Man can do what he can do with all his knowledge but the actual healing comes from God. As I’ve shared many times my sole desire as I share with you is to uplift Christ, fellow Christians, and share the love of Jesus with others. 

REMEMBER 

“If we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” 1John 1:9
