The Power of Divine Healing: How God Transforms Lives through Faith

There is something deeply supernatural about healing—when the invisible hand of God reaches down and touches someone’s body, soul, or mind, bringing wholeness where there was brokenness. At Doug Wingate Ministries, and Life Christian University, divine healing isn’t just doctrine — it’s lived experience. Through faith, through the laying on of hands, through prophetic words of knowledge, God is restoring lives.

What does divine healing mean?

Divine healing is the miraculous touch of God toward illness, pain, or infirmity. It is an expression of God’s compassion and power, a sign that He is not distant but active in our struggles. Doug Wingate, with over 49       years in ministry, has witnessed these miracles repeatedly — people healed of physical ailments, emotional burdens lifted, spiritual chains broken.

Faith: The Key Ingredient

Faith is more than belief; faith is trust. Faith believes before it sees. It holds on when circumstances are contrary. Hebrews 11 is full of examples of people who walked by faith — Abraham, Moses, Rahab. At Life Christian University, students are taught the Principles of Faith, a foundational course that helps believers understand and activate their faith in everyday life. Doug Wingate Ministries offers this “Principles of Faith” course to help believers build a strong faith that expects God to move.

Prophetic Knowledge and Miraculous Results

The ministry around prophetic words of knowledge has been a hallmark of Doug Wingate’s healing services. These are moments when God reveals something about an individual’s specific need — not as a trick, but as a demonstration that He knows, He cares, He acts. These prophetic insights often lead to dramatic, miraculous results. Lives touched, healed, made new.

The Role of Ministry Education

Healing and miracles are not just “happenings” — they are part of a life shaped by study, prayer, obedience, and spiritual discipline. Doug Wingate’s leadership in Life Christian University (LCU) emphasizes this. With over 20,000 ministers graduated, and campuses in many states and countries, LCU equips believers not just to believe in God’s power, but to walk in it. Christian higher education builds a strong foundation.

Why Healing Matters Today

  • Hope in desperate times — when medicine fails, when hearts are broken, divine healing is tangible proof that God cares.

  • Faith is strengthened — seeing God’s power break through doubt.

  • Witness to unbelievers — miracles validate the message of the Gospel.

  • Holistic restoration — not just physical, but emotional, spiritual, relational.


As you read this, know that God is not just a concept. He is near, He is powerful, and He wants to restore. Whether you’re seeking healing for a physical illness, emotional pain, or spiritual dryness, Doug Wingate Ministries invites you to believe, to come, to receive.

If you want prayer, prophetic ministry, or more teaching on faith and healing, reach out, enroll in a course like Principles of Faith, or attend a healing service. Let your life be one of testimony.
