“Pastor Steve Austin provides a great battle plan to defeat sickness and receive divine healing based on God’s Word and Steve’s 25 years of experience ministering to the sick in the largest medical center in the world. This book is a must for anyone seeking to reclaim their health!”
Lisa Osteen Comes, associate pastor, Lakewood Church
“Steve Austin has offered a beautiful expression of hope in his new book, God Heals . His ability to bring prayer, faith, and healing together in ways that can help the reader find peace through God’s healing touch is truly special. This is a must-read for anyone seeking to deepen their relationship with Christ.”
Ken Carlson, MDiv, director of mission and spiritual care, Baylor St. Luke’s Medical Center, Houston
“Although the ministry of healing occurs continually through Jesus in the Gospels and again through the apostles in the book of Acts, the modern church today in Western countries has largely ignored it. Thankfully, God has raised up men like Steve Austin to reestablish the ministry of healing in the body of Christ. The church is doubly blind to its need, because it is sick but has little faith to seek Jehovah Rapha for its healing. I believe that as you read God Heals , your faith will soar and you will find that God is your healer, no matter what your condition.”
Joan Hunter, author and evangelist; TV host, Miracles Happen
“ God Heals will help you claim the inheritance of your healing that is—and always has been—rightfully yours. With a conversational approach and an open heart, Pastor Steve makes it easy to understand that God is willing, able, and ready to heal anyone who needs it. I urge you to read this book with faith and expectation, because I know that God is still healing today.”
Apostle Guillermo Maldonado, King Jesus International Ministry
“This book will bless you tremendously. Steve Austin is brilliant and knows how to pray for sick people. He visits hospitals daily and sees many miracles. I’m so glad he wrote it to help others. I salute him.”
Dodie Osteen, cofounder, Lakewood Church
“As a physician, I recommend God Heals as an invaluable resource for anyone facing illness or disease. The principles taught in this book have the power to unlock God’s healing power in your life.”
Paul Osteen, MD
“The positive messaging that Pastor Steve offers is uplifting and hope filled. I appreciate his practical approach to ministry that leads to spiritual healing. I found his transparency and clarity helpful to those who read this book as a way to move toward transformation and empowerment! Absolutely loved it!”
Carla Price, elder, United Methodist Church; manager of pastoral care for a major academic medical center

Foreword
LAKEWOOD CHURCH IS LOCATED less than five miles from the Texas Medical Center, the largest medical center in the world. Over the years, thousands of medical patients from around the world and their families have come to Lakewood for prayer and encouragement. Many, if not most, have an unfavorable doctor’s report and oftentimes feel as if there is little hope. I encourage them to have faith, pray often, and believe their healing is coming. I’m telling you what I tell each of them: God can show up in an instant and change everything for you.
There are many biblical stories where the heroes of faith believed God for a victory and did not waver from that belief. They spoke words of victory and praised God for it even before they saw it. They viewed their battle through eyes of faith and spoke words of triumph even when others around them spoke defeat. They didn’t listen to the naysayers or focus on their trouble, but instead focused on the One who is bigger than the danger they faced: Jehovah Rapha—God, their Healer.
Almost all of us will face a life-threatening situation, such as a medical condition or disease. It is how we respond to it that makes the greatest difference. That is why I think this book, God Heals , by my friend Steve Austin is important. Steve is a valuable member of our staff at Lakewood and has a heart for those facing illness. He has helped thousands of people over the years, and I can think of no one better to author this book.
God Heals is well written, easy to read, and expertly organized. Steve helps you to believe that God is your Healer, and to understand the significance of your faith and how it affects the words you speak and the prayers you pray. This book will help you to appreciate the power found in praise and equip you with God’s promises as you persevere.
I encourage you to dig deeply into God’s Word as you confront your challenges, and to seek out those who speak God’s promises into your life. Steve is such a person. Read each page of God Heals with anticipation and an open heart and allow this book to speak the healing Word of God into your life. God bless you.
Joel Osteen
