God To Heal T?i±* Aflmmts

. .Millions, perhaps bill
ions, or more dollars are
spent each year on medi
cine or natural herbs in
attempts to remedy illness.
But there are a host of
Individuals who rely on
God to heal their ail
even fed that God heels
through them. From the
scriptures of the Bible,
where interpretations
seem to be infinite, the
evidence that God heals
through people is pro
claimed.
Last week, we discussed
whether or not man has to
get sick on this earth.
Three local ministers ex
plained their positions.
This week, we will probe
healing through faith. Is it
possible? Can anyone heal
-through faith? And if it is
passible, how is healing
through faith accom
plished?
All three ministers in
terviewed, Rev. Jerry
White, Rev. L. D. Park
er and Rev. Robyn Gcol
agree that healing from
God it possible. The dif
ference of opinion, how
ever, appears when we
examine the vessels God
uses in die healing pro
“I believe that anyone
can heal through God,"
Rev. White announced,
“provided that he believes
that through him, God has
given him power. Also the
individual he heals has to
have faith.”
Rev. White cited scrip
“ ture firom the Old Testa
ment concerning Hasefciah.
“The Bible says H—wfctah
' was sick unto death aodiia
; Ms. Beulah Miller
.....Receives gift
prayed to God to give him a
little more time, for he had
not accomplished the job
God wanted him to do. God
gave him 15 more yean,”
(2nd Kings 20: Ml),
_Rev. Robyn Goal quotw
Mark l«:l»-ia which says,
“He who believes...will lay
hands on the sick and they
will became waU.”
“Jesus said these signs
will follow those who be
lieve: casting out of de
mons and that they shall
lay hands on the sick and
tfcay Shan recover. Bailev
«rs are. those who have
been born again. To be
bealed, one has to have
faith in God’s ability. God
will use man or woman to
transmit or transfer HU
healing power.”
Rev. L.D. Parker feels
that the power to heal is a
gift. “Some have this gift
and some don’t." he poin^i
-—'
ed out (1st
U:4). “Corinthian. 12:1 re
veals that th« gifts are
given by the same Lord.
Some have the gift to heal
while others don’t. It's
wrong far everyone to say
they have the gift be
cause they don’t”
So. how do we know if a
person truly has God’s girt
to heal others? “The beat
way to observe phonies,”
Rev. Parker’began, “Is to
determine what they place
emphasis on. If they are
true healers from God they
will be more concerned
about the oomfition of the
Individual instead of how
much money he-ehe baa.”
Rev. Gool stated: “God
speaks to us, guides us and
shares with us in our spi
rit. If he or she is a phoney,
then God's spirit will be
sensitive to this; an alarm
dock will warn us that
something is wrong.”
“You have to weigh the
situation out,” Rev. White
revealed. “Eventually, die
Lord will reveal it.”
One such person with the
heeling gift from God is
Beulah Miller, mother of
one son and two daughters.
She was about 90 years old
when she received her
calling. “God speaks
through you. He gives
-everyone different ta
lents.” Mrs. Miller stated.
“God talks to us and we
feel it. When God calls you,
no one cen take it from
you."
"If K’« God's will, theo
Ha beak through me,” aha
cooUnikd. "I can’t do lt.it
has to be Hk will. It’s s
feeling youbave and then I
touch them. If that person
~ k healed, be hu Id have
faith in God. He can’t
look at no. All'my help
cornea from God.”
Mrs. Miller states that
born again Christians can
- fed phoney, so-called heal
ers. “People can sense you
..from heart to heart God
knows what you are do

There’s one
• thing nearly all
■>iwiiiMTirir'iri'-rr - financial experts
agree on: An IRA is one of the best tax-deferred retire
ment plans you can have. Here are five good reasons to
have yours at Wachovia.
1. Money market rates. All Wachovia IRA invest
ments earn top money market rates, compounded
daily for higher annual yields. And there are rto invest
ment fees to reduce your yield. Compare with the
rates being paid anywhere.
Example: Current rate and yield on Wachovia IRA invested
in a 4-year, fixed-rate deposit (subject to change daily).

Other variable-rate and fixed-rate options are available.
For the current rate, call a Personal Banker?
2. No minimum deposit. At ^fachovia, you can open
or add to your IRA in any amount The maximum, by
law, is $2,000 per year for every wage earner, or
$4,000 for a working couple. But at Wachovia you

don’t have to deposit that much to get tax benefits
and start saving for your retirement
3. Multiple investment options. Wachovia offers a
wide range of fixed-rate investments with guaran
teed rates, at terms from three months to four years.
And our variable-rate investment, the Accumulator,
has no minimum and no required term. That means
you can deposit any amount anytime, and you can
automatically transfer funds to fixed-rate investments
. as often as^ou like without paying interest penalties.
You’ll receive a periodic statement showing all activity
on your account
4. Insured safety. Every Wachovia depositor’s funds
are insured up to $100,000 by F.DtI£. And no matter
-low far away your retirement may be, you know — —
Wachovia will still be here.
5. Your own Personal Banker. Only Wachovia gives
you the services of your own Personal Banker, who
can explain all the investment options in detail and
help you decide which ones are right for you.

better place for your IRA than Wachovia. Thlk to a
