Healing the Sick and Preaching the Gospel: A Dual Mandate for the End-Time Church
Jesus never separated healing from preaching. His ministry was always both—declaring the kingdom and demonstrating its power. When He sent out the disciples, He gave them the same dual mandate: “Preach the Gospel, and heal the sick.” Bishop Dag Heward-Mills continues this apostolic pattern in his Healing Jesus Campaigns. Every crusade is marked by these two pillars—healing and preaching.
The two go hand in hand. The Gospel saves the soul, and healing touches the body. Together, they reveal the love and power of God in a way that no argument can deny. Bishop Dag understands that people are not only spiritually broken—they are physically afflicted. And the compassion of Christ moves to meet both needs.
In every message, he preaches Jesus crucified, risen, and reigning. And in every altar call, he points to the cross. But after the call to salvation, there is a call to healing—because the same blood that forgives sin also heals disease.
One Message, Two Miracles
In Bishop Dag’s ministry, healing is never separated from the Gospel—it flows from it. He preaches faith, repentance, and the love of God. He declares the authority of Jesus over sin and sickness. And as that message is believed, miracles begin to happen.
People are healed not just because they attend a crusade, but because they hear the truth. The preaching builds faith. The Word ignites hope. And the power of God does the rest.
This is the method of Jesus—teaching, preaching, and healing. Bishop Dag simply continues that method today, believing that what worked in the book of Acts still works now.
A Compassionate Gospel
Healing without the Gospel is incomplete. And preaching without compassion is ineffective. That’s why Bishop Dag’s ministry is so impactful—he carries both. He preaches with fire, but he ministers with love.
He doesn’t just address crowds—he sees people. The sick. The poor. The forgotten. And he meets them where they are. Healing and preaching become not just ministry acts, but expressions of God’s heart.
In his crusades, you’ll find medical tents alongside prayer lines. You’ll find people being prayed for as others are being taught. It’s not one or the other—it’s both. Just like Jesus did it.
A Mandate for Every Believer
Bishop Dag teaches that this dual mandate is not only for evangelists. Every believer is called to preach and pray for the sick. Whether in a market, classroom, workplace, or home, we are called to carry both word and power.
He equips his churches to believe for healing, not only in crusades, but in daily life. His pastors are trained to minister in hospitals, prisons, and communities. The healing anointing is not reserved for platforms—it’s available to every child of God who walks in faith.
Healing and preaching are not for the few. They are for the harvest.
Conclusion: A Gospel That Touches Every Part of Life
In Bishop Dag Heward-Mills’ ministry, the Gospel is more than a message—it is a living force. It heals the sick. It saves the lost. It comforts the broken. It delivers the bound. And it does it all with the same power that raised Jesus from the dead.
Healing and preaching will always go together. They are not two ministries—they are one mission. And through that mission, millions are being touched across nations.
This is the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Full of love. Full of truth. Full of power.
