25-10 Need A Healing? Ask Yourself "WWJD?"

A Roman soldier's faith so impressed Jesus that he healed a servant from afar without even visiting.

Dr. George Burrows, a chiropractor and host of Get Healthy Alabama, examines the healing ministry of Jesus as a model for modern believers. He argues that Christians should directly emulate Jesus's methods to access divine healing power. The episode is structured around analyzing specific biblical accounts to extract practical principles. Burrows begins by recounting healings from Matthew chapters 8 and 9, starting with Jesus healing a leper by touch and declaring "I will." He highlights the healing of a centurion's servant, where Jesus commended the soldier's faith in the power of spoken word. The episode details Jesus healing Peter's mother-in-law of a fever and the paralyzed man lowered through a roof, where Jesus linked healing with forgiveness of sins. Burrows also covers the story of Jairus's daughter and the woman with an issue of blood, who was healed after touching Jesus's garment. From these stories, Burrows lists six things Jesus never did: he never took a case history, ordered lab work, tried to identify a root cause, gave a medical diagnosis, asked God to heal someone, or used any drugs or physical interventions. He contrasts this with five things Jesus consistently did: he relied solely on God's power, understood healing was released through faith, saw people as already whole, empowered his disciples to heal, and has similarly empowered all believers today. A key insight is that Jesus's concept of healing encompassed emotional and spiritual wholeness, not just physical cure. Burrows emphasizes that Jesus declared healing directly rather than petitioning God for it, operating from the belief that healing was already God's will. The claim that believers today possess the same power to heal the sick through faith and laying on of hands is presented as a scriptural promise. The tone is instructional and pastoral, blending biblical exposition with personal conviction. The style is a solo monologue delivered in a conversational, earnest manner aimed at teaching and inspiring listeners. This episode would deeply resonate with Christian listeners interested in faith healing, biblical application, and alternative health perspectives rooted in scripture. Listeners seeking medical advice, clinical analysis, or a secular health discussion would likely find it irrelevant.
