Reflections on Reconciliation These four talks are formatted as a course and lend themselves itself very well to small group reflection or discussion. Reconciliation is a subject that is relevant for all times, but it can also be used specifically as a lead-up to Easter and the celebration of Jesus’ reconciling us with the Father on the Cross. Reflection 1: Reconciliation with Ourselves Reflection 2: Reconciliation with God Session 3: Reconciliation with our Neighbour Session 4: Reconciliation between Groups
Upcoming Events We regularly offer a course called “The 26 Healing Miracles of Jesus”. This course is the foundational material of the Order of St Luke the Physician (What is the OSL?). The course is available both online and in person in Gillitts, KZN for persons discerning or deepening their calling to Jesus’ Healing Ministry. If you want to get updates about these meetings as they get plannedyou can Get in Touch and/or like us on Facebook. You can also subscribe to our newsletter.
Our mission is aptly expressed in the line “Revealing Jesus through Healing”; another way of putting it is we are living into Jesus’ prayer to the Father: “Your Kingdom come.” We have joined this Community as a response to the call on our lives to reveal the kingdom of God through continuing the ministry of Jesus. This includes salvation, freedom, and deliverance through His love by the power of the Holy Spirit. WE DO THIS THROUGH THE EMPOWERMENT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT: Receiving God’s healing in and for ourselves Providing training and practical experience for ourselves and others in the […]
We live under the generous covenant of God in Christ, and in the freedom God gives us. Surrender: The calling of every disciple is a personal surrender to Jesus Christ, to follow Jesus and become like Jesus in thought, word and deed by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit to the glory of God the Father. – Romans 12 Authority of the Bible: We pray with, study, delight in and submit to the Word of God as having authority over our lives and ministry. – 2 Timothy 3:16-17 Generosity: We believe that God has given us what we have, so […]
Biblical Foundations Our work rests on “the Gospel of God, which he promised beforehand through his prophets in the holy scriptures, the gospel concerning his Son, who was descended from David according to the flesh and was declared to be Son of God with power according to the spirit of holiness by resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord, through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith among all the Gentiles for the sake of his name.”(Romans 1:1b-5) There is certainly no shortage of Scriptures, but here is an excerpt of words […]
Relational Healing Underpinning all Christian healing ministry lies our restoration to an open, trusting relationship with our God and Father. This is, above all, what Jesus restored us to through His birth, life, death on the Cross and resurrection on the third day. Now that we are reconciled to God – a reconciliation that is ongoing and, we pray, every deepening, God has entrusted us with the ministry of reconciliation. Reconciliation is a part of healing ministry because forgiveness is a core component of healing. Unresolved conflict always continues to cause harm, across the generations even, but in Jesus Christ God […]
Why a Rule of Life? One characteristic of a Religious Community is that there is a shared way of life that bind us together. This can look very different. From the solemn permanence of a Benedictine Monastery to the missionary commitment of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) and from the strict isolation of Athonite Hermits to the embedded witness of Franciscan Tertiaries. These are old and odd names that give testimony to how the Holy Spirit has called people to Jesus – often in response to a decline in godliness of secular society or the church, or both – since […]
We love telling the stories of what Jesus has done, and continues to do! As you read or listen to the testimonies below, I invite you to do so with this prayer in your hearts: “Jesus, I believe that You are the same yesterday, today and forever and that You make no distinction between persons. Reveal Yourself to me through Your Holy Spirit as who You Are”. All testimonies are shared with permission. [Please check back soon – we are formatting our list of testimonies for the web]
Here in South Africa, the OSL began its work after the second world war as one of its members, the Rev’d Edward Winckley DD. OSL., came to South Africa from England as a railway chaplain. Three years later he established a healing ministry in Kearsney in KZN, where people would come and stay for a while, be seen by doctors if needed, but primarily to receive, every day, the laying on of hands and prayer in the name of Jesus. The testimonies of miraculous healing from this ministry are well documented and wonderful! The work at Kearsney changed over time […]
