About this ebook
In You Can Be Healed: Biblical Pathways to Healing, Elliot Foggs offers his unique perspective on how God heals and how we can appropriate His healing in our lives. He focuses on the Word of God and Jesus Christ as healer of physical, mental, and emotional sickness. His teachings on healing and stories from his own personal life and ministry may inspire readers to believe and pray for healing in their own lives and the lives of others.
No matter how long you have been sick, what your doctors have said, or how many obstacles you have had to overcome, let these words reach deep down into your spirit. Receive them by faith. Your healing is closer than you think. Maybe you are like the woman in the Bible with the issue of blood and have been ill for many years. Maybe you have spent all your money seeking professional medical care. Maybe the doctors have given you little or no hope of recovery. Maybe you are frustrated because of your condition. Yet now is not the time to talk yourself out of Gods promise. Now is not the time to get discouraged. You may feel that any meaningful healing is far away. But the truth is your healing may be just around the corner. If you stay in faith, who knows? The time of your healing could be now! Your healing is closer than you think. I believe that you can be healed.

black.jpgDedication
T his book is dedicated to my wife, Kimberly, who for many years has gently, yet consistently encouraged me to write about my experiences. God has used her mightily in this.
And to the countless masses who suffer with illnesses of every kind, as well as the committed men and women in medicine who see to their care that they may know there is hope in Christ who is our healer.
God be merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause his face to shine upon us; Selah. That thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving health among all nations.
(Psalms 67:1-2, KJV)
black.jpgAcknowledgements
I am grateful to my wife Kimberly for her loving support and willingness to go through the hardships that come with this kind of ministry, and to my father and mother, Dr. and Mrs. Edward L. Foggs, for being a constant source of encouragement, strength and inspiration. They have seen up close and can witness to what the Lord has done. My siblings and other family members have offered timely words and sentiments that have helped me along the journey.
And I offer my heartfelt gratitude to the late Bishop Benjamin F. Reid, who was one of the first leaders in the Church of God to see something special in me and spoke prophetic words over my life that are coming to pass. His support, guidance and leadership have opened many doors, for which I will forever be indebted.
Special thanks go to Bishop Timothy J. Clarke for being the first Church of God pastor to welcome me into his congregation to bring the healing message. Thanks to Bishop G. A. Thompson, Apostle Rita J. Johnson, and the late Pastor Ken Tippen, true servants of God for believing in my ministry in the early stages and providing me with an open door. I am grateful for Dr. G. David Cox, who invited me to have healing meetings at Church at the Crossing when I had been holding meetings in hotels, and my ministry was at a crossroads. Special thanks go to Pastor G. E. Studdard for encouraging me to move out in faith.
I am also thankful for the support of Pastor Robert A. Culp, Bishop C. Milton Grannum, and Dr. M. Tyrone Cushman who gave guidance along the way and exhibited great grace and generosity to me. I want to express sincere thanks and appreciation to the late Dr. E. Stanley Kardatzke. His vast knowledge of the medical industry, work ethic, and insight has been invaluable. The Lord put us together as close friends towards the end of his life for which I give thanks unto God.
I am indebted to the amazing staff at Thomas Nelson Publishing and Westbow Press for helping me to keep this project on track and meet the specified deadlines. Special thanks to Kenneth R. Wilson who was instrumental in the cover design, concept and layout.
In this book I offer many stories—some shared with me by friends, members of various church congregations, and people I’ve met along the way. I appreciate and acknowledge their contributions and support. Some of those mentioned in the book are people I have not met personally and, in a few cases, I’ve changed the names to protect the privacy of individuals. I give honor to whom honor is due. As the son of an international church leader and former pastor myself, I’ve listened to countless sermons and presentations, so in some cases I can’t remember the exact source of a story. Thanks to all who have touched my life with their own. My intention in writing this book is to pass on these blessings with the prayer that God will be glorified.

H ealing is a topic that is prominently addressed in Scripture—especially in the New Testament and in the life and ministry of Jesus. It also has received strong emphasis in many faith traditions. Interest in healing, however, has wavered from time to time between strong emphasis and de-emphasis. Fortunately, in the 21st century there is emerging a new and fresh interest in the subject in both religious and medical circles.
You Can Be Healed: Biblical Pathways to Healing is a volume that seeks to address various aspects of healing from Biblical perspectives. It is faith and prayer based and highlights Biblical methods of healing as practiced by Jesus and his followers in and beyond Biblical times. The author, Rev. Elliot Foggs, is my son and is an ordained minister of the gospel. He is gifted with a special healing ministry that, for several years, has found manifestation in many churches in and beyond the United States. In addition to the theological insights he shares, he includes personal experiences where God has used him to pray for many sick persons who have experienced healing. Some of these healings were gradual, while others were miraculous and instantaneous.
His approach is not anti-medical. He has interacted with medical personnel and shares experiences where medical doctors have acknowledged that some healings clearly were miraculous—beyond what their medical procedures were able to achieve. While it may be contended that all healing is divine, and it is, some healing is beyond the scope of medical science.
The author is not naïve. He recognizes and addresses the inevitably of death and
