{"product_id":"2940012379665","title":"Dorothea Trudel; or, The Prayer of Faith, Showing the Remarkable Manner in which Large Numbers of Sick Persons were Healed in Answer to Special Prayer","description":"COULD the numerous instances, which are constantly occurring, of healing through faith be collected together, the church would be astonished at the great body of testimony, and would no longer say that the promises of Scripture belong to the past, and not to the present.\u003cbr\u003eFor several years my mind has been exercised before God as to whether it was not his will-that the work of Faith, in which He had placed me, should extend to the cure of disease, as well as the alleviation of the miseries of the afflicted. I often read the instructions and promise contained in the fourteenth and fifteenth verses of the fifth chapter of the Epistle of James: \"Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: and the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.\"\u003cbr\u003eThey seemed so very plain, that I often asked or my own heart, Why, if I can rely on God's word, \"Whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do,\" and every day verify its truth in the supply of the daily needs of the various work committed to my care,-why can not I also trust Him to fulfill his promises as to the healing of the body, \"The prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up\"? I could not see why, with such explicit and unmistakable promises, I should limit the present exercise of God's power. I began to inquire of earnest Christians whether they knew of any instances of answers to prayer for the healing of the body. Soon afterward the Life of Dorothea Trudel fell into my hands, which strengthened my convictions, and the inquiry was raised, \"If God can perform such wonders in Mannedorf, why not in Boston?\"\u003cbr\u003eAt this time I had under my professional care a Christian lady, with a tumor which confined her almost continuously to her bed in severe suffering. All remedies were unavailing, and the only human hope was the knife; but feeling in my own heart the power of the promise, lone morning sat down by her bedside, and taking up the Bible, I read aloud God's promise to his believing children, \"And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have com­mitted sins, they shall be forgiven him.\"\u003cbr\u003eI then asked her if she would trust the Lord to remove this tumor and restore her to health, and to her missionary work? She replied, \"I have no particular faith about it, but am willing to trust the Lord for it.\"\u003cbr\u003eI then knelt and anointed her with oil in the name of the Lord, asking Him to fulfill his own word. Soon after I left, she got up and walked three miles. From that time the tumor rapidly lessened, until all trace of it at length disappeared.","brand":"Cullis Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47069220897008,"sku":"2940012379665","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940012379665_p0.jpg?v=1763568107","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940012379665","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
