F.F Bosworth (1877-1958) was healed of tuberculosis as a teenager when a “Methodist Bible woman” prayed for him.
One day, he asked the Lord the following,
“Lord, suppose I preach on healing, and the people come and don’t get healed?”
And the response was, “If people didn’t get saved, you wouldn’t stop preaching the Gospel.”
That was the beginning of his healing ministry. Bosworth is known for his 1924 classic “Christ the Healer” (a compilation of his sermons) and for mentoring young healing evangelists such as William Branham (he was his campaign manager) and T.L Osborn with whom he shared the stage for three consecutive months during a healing campaign in the North of the US in the fifties. T.L Osborn wrote “Healing the sick”, which was also another big classic on healing.
F. F Bosworth used to say,
“Don’t doubt your faith; doubt your doubts, for they are unreliable. When your eyes are upon your symptoms and your mind is occupied with them more than with God’s Word, you have [planted] in the ground the wrong kind of seed for the harvest that you desire. You have in the ground seeds of doubt. You are trying to raise one kind of crop from another kind of seed. It is impossible to sow tares and reap wheat. Your symptoms may point you to death, but God’s Word points you to life.”
Kenneth Hagin’s 3 cd series “You are God’s garden” was a tribute to Bosworth’s teachings.
