3 Things You’ll Learn:

Why Art Thomas became convinced that it is God’s will to heal and how studying the Gospels and Acts challenged what he previously believed about healing.
Why healing ministry is about trusting Jesus rather than trying harder, and how Art learned that faith means doing what God has asked us to do while trusting Him to do what only He can do.
How ordinary believers can step out and minister healing, understanding that Jesus gave His followers power and authority and that ministry is not reserved for pastors or those with a special platform.

Episode Description

What happens when you believe the Bible teaches that God heals, yet you are not seeing healing happen around you?

Greg Lancaster sits down with Art Thomas for a powerful conversation about Art’s journey from believing in healing but rarely seeing it, to witnessing thousands of reported healings and miracles as believers learned to trust Jesus and step out in faith. Art shares how he went back to the Gospels and the book of Acts, examined his questions about healing, and became convinced that the life and ministry of Jesus reveal God’s desire to heal.

Art recounts the surprising moment when a young church intern suffering from a severe ear infection and hearing loss was prayed for and experienced healing. That encounter helped Art recognize an important distinction: faith is not about human effort, emotional intensity, or trying to manufacture a miracle. It is about trusting Jesus. As Art puts it, “In the kingdom, if it doesn’t work, try less and trust more.”

The conversation also explores Art’s experiences ministering in Uganda, where he witnessed people being healed and then watched local believers begin ministering to one another. Rather than creating dependence upon a visiting minister, Art emphasizes equipping the Body of Christ to participate in the ministry Jesus entrusted to His followers.

Greg and Art also discuss the difficult question of why some people are not healed. Art strongly rejects placing condemnation on the sick person or telling someone that their lack of healing automatically means they lacked faith. Drawing from the ministry of Jesus and passages including Matthew 10:8, Matthew 17, Mark 16:17-18, John 14:12, Acts 3, Acts 10:38, and James 5:14-16, he challenges believers to continue learning, trusting, and partnering with Jesus.

Quotes:

“In the kingdom, if it doesn’t work, try less and trust more.”

“Faith is doing everything I’m supposed to do and nothing of what God is supposed to do. I’m completely trusting Him to do the rest.”
Art Thomas

“The only thing necessary for a miracle to happen is the presence of God. So stop seeking miracles and start seeking the presence.”
Art Thomas, recounting what he received during a prayer gathering
