Treat,Diagnose and Pray by Richard Roberts
I don’t know. I think that I have seen more caringness, nurses not just doing nursing for a paycheck, but nurses doing nursing because they care about people. And the response, quickly responding to patient’s calls when a nurse call light is on. Or just, or the attitude, I’m sorry I wasn’t here quicker, I was tied up with so and so. You know, what can I do to help you? And I just think the caringness comes out in whether you’re doing a treatment, pouring water, just talking with them.
Caring, caring, caring is a key word. Would you pass that microphone to David Wakefield. David, as a prayer partner, you go throughout the hospital, through the clinic, you’re praying with people every day. What do you feel? What are you sensing in your spirit that’s happening at the City of Faith? Well, Richard Roberts, I think that with the Seed-Faith ministry to patients that we had, this is one of the greatest things we’ve ever done.
I’ve been with the ministry since ’68 and we not only preach it but we practice it. And many of these people who are Seed-Faith have never heard the gospel of Jesus Christ. And they come here to get medical care but they get a lot more than that. They get a salvation experience with Jesus that they wouldn’t have heard unless they got medical care first. And it’s fantastic. People get a healing that they will take with them through eternity.
Well, I want to give you an opportunity today, and I’m so glad you could stop by for a minute. I know the busy schedule. We, things are moving here at the City of Faith. Things are happening here. The nurses are busy, the doctors are busy. I know you’re in need right now, Jim, of more physicians. You’re in need of more nurses. Do you want to say a word about it?
I sure do, Richard Roberts. Somebody is probably watching the television program right now who knows of a physician or maybe you are a physician or your husband is one or your wife’s one, and something down in your heart is saying to you, perhaps the City of Faith is the place where I ought to serve God. We need Spirit Filled physicians who will come here and minister all of God’s healing power, who can practice expert medicine but who are willing to accept the fact that God is the Source of healing and that God heals.
We just treat and diagnose and pray and believe and love and care, but God heals. That’s the kind of physician we’re looking for.
