Healing of Soul and Body
D. W. Whittle · The Wonders of Prayer, 1885
"I have reason to rejoice that I have been greatly blessed in answer to your prayers. Two young lady friends of mine have been enabled to claim the blessed promise of full salvation, not only to the healing of the soul, _but the body also_.
My own experience helped them: On the 16th of January, last, in answer to constant prayer offered by myself and friends, I arose from what all thought to be my death-bed, and walked all over the house; also many miles on the streets during the next few months. I did not claim the full extent of the promise as I craved only relief from such terrible pain, as was then my portion to bear.
I think God in his goodness would have granted full restoration to health, as I was so anxious to work for Him, but I pleaded with Him _not to heal my body_ until my mind had had the discipline I felt it needed."
