Hebrews 13:2 Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.

Shake the Snake! When Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and put them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat and fastened on his hand. He, however, shook off the creature into the fire and suffered no harm. Acts 28:3,5

Acts 27:23 For this very night there stood before me an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I worship 11

Acts 27:24-25 and he said, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul; you must stand before Caesar. And behold, God has granted you all those who sail with you.’ So take heart, men, for I have faith in God that it will be exactly as I have been told. 12

Island Revival It happened that the father of Publius lay sick with fever and dysentery. And Paul visited him and prayed, and putting his hands on him healed him. And when this had taken place, the rest of the people on the island who had diseases also came and were cured. Acts 28:8-9

Matthew 8:14-17 When Jesus came into Peter's house, he saw Peter's mother-in-law lying in bed with a fever. He touched her hand and the fever left her, and she got up and began to wait on him. When evening came, many who were demon- possessed were brought to him, and he drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick.

Healing in the Atonement 8:17 This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah: "He took up our infirmities and carried our diseases.” – (see Isaiah 53:4)

Romans 8:28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.
