Didn't jesus say something about faith that heals people.

Answer 1

From the words of your sentences I get the impression that you are truly sincere in your wishes to help others. By telling you that I, myself, have been healed I'm hoping to direct your efforts toward the type of healing that truly matters to God.

There are many faith healers throughout the world who hold large, extravagant meetings that draw many people from miles around who are afflicted with physical ailments of all kinds. These people go to these meetings with the hope that God will heal them of their physical infirmities because they love the flesh and hope to remain in it as long as possible. Because they do love the flesh, many of them are given the delusion that God has taken pity upon them and healed them.

People who believe in faith healing are the ones who would ask me, if I should come down with a physical sickness, "If you are so sure of having the help of God, then why don't you ask Him to heal you?" I would answer them saying, "Why should I bother my God with such a trivial matter as that when He's already healed me of a terminal disease which was the cause of much anguish and sorrow -- and the pain of that disease -- the pain of it was unbearable! He's healed me also of my blindness and my deafness. He has healed me of my lameness so that now I can walk with surefootedness along the Path that He had long ago prepared for me.

After all that, would I now be so ungrateful as to ask Him to also heal me of something as insignificant as a physical illness?" I would not. I would give tribute where tribute is due. For the things of the world, I would give tribute to the world. For a physical ailment, I would go to a medical doctor or take a home remedy, whichever seems to me to fit the occasion. But for the things of the spirit, I will give tribute where it is due, and that is to my God and to Him only.

Many people are jogging and exercising their physical bodies to make them stronger and fit. Many, many people go to great lengths to cut down on their intake of calories, either for vanity or for the health of their bodies. And they do all this despite the fact they all know, regardless of all the things they do, their bodies will still grow old and decay, become weakened and fall apart, disintegrate and turn to powder. How much worth does man put upon a body that's doomed for destruction the day it's born? They've even gone so far as to try to preserve it on machines long after it's been vacated by its soul! O Foolish Man, you do try to hold onto a worthless thing, don't you?

When will we know there's only one body that can be preserved? When will we begin to spend all our time and effort trying to preserve the only body where results can be obtained? When will we begin to worry more about the polluted food we're feeding our spirits? When will we begin to worry more about the pollutants in the water we're giving our spirits to drink? When will we begin to avoid like the plague the deadly cholesterol we're causing our spirits to ingest? When will we exercise our soul to make it more fit and in a stronger condition? When will we put all our trust in the Great Physician so that He can heal our soul of its many illnesses and infirmities? For all other effort is in vain; it's all vanity; it is deadly vanity.

Therefore, I hope you can be inspired to develop the ability to heal people's spirits and souls of their many infirmities.

Answer 2

in the bible Jesus gives his healing power the all of his apostles, and says to go out and heal and preach. That is why you see all the tv evangelist bopping people in the head and curing there blindness or something like that. But to tell the truth you must have complete faith in this for it to work. I, personally, don't believe that an average man (even a man of God - a preacher) could do such things. it is all for fun and games and also to make a quick buck from the diluted devote christian. dont believe magical healings are true!!!!

Answer 3

If we have the faith of a mustard seed, that is enough to see people healed. I personally believe God doesn't provide miracles where miracles aren't needed. He won't heal a headache if there is tylenol in the cupboard. There was a 8 year old boy in Northern BC not far from where I lived who was diagnosed with terminal cancer, he was sent home to die in comfort, the doctors gave him less than two weeks. Every church in the area, including mine began to pray for that boy and within a week, with no medical therapy whatsoever the boy came down from his room and ate a meal with his family and within a month was right as rain with no sign of cancer. It was an absolute miracle, yet not one of the regular media groups would touch the story, a tabloid however ran the story!!
Healing is one of the spiritual giftings, if God has given you that gift then use it according to the Spirits guidance, and God bless you always.

Answer 4

You cannot heal people who are not choosing to be healed. It is the indwelling Spirit in each person that has the power to heal that person, and a healer is simply a conduit that helps create a bridge between the personality/body and the perfection of the Spirit within. We have no power to use. God's will is for all perfection to be restored, but we must choose this and cannot will this upon others. If a person is choosing it and creating a channel through prayer to receive from Spirit, a healer/conduit may assist with this, but this is not done through selfwill, but through surrender to God's will.

Answer 5

You can if you are serious AND if God chooses to give you the power. But there must be faith present. Even Jesus didn't heal at times because there was no faith.

Answer 6

You don't do the healing God does. God uses us to help heal the sick. We can lay hands on sick individuals and if you and they have faith that healing can occur it will, but not all are healed. I don't know why some are and some aren't, but I know God's will is what we have to place our trust and faith in. He knows what is best and His ways aren't our ways.If God chooses to use you to heal others make sure everything in your life is in order and right with Him. Laying hands on someone if we aren't right with God 100%...isn't something I think we should do. I'm not saying you need to be perfect, but I am saying if a person has any unconfessed sin in their life and they haven't brought it before God and repented of it........I would not suggest laying hands on anyone either for the purpose of healing or just praying with the individual. God bless you.

Answer 7

You don't do the healing. You must follow what Jesus said.
Mar 6:13 "And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed [them]. "
The oil of our people, Christians, is olive oil. If your faith is strong; take some pure olive oil, ask God to bless the oil. Take a dab of oil on you finger. Anoint the sick person with the oil and ask God to heal the person.
Note: the oil does not heal, but shows obedience to God. God does the healing. God is always in control, not men.
I hope this helps.

Answer 8

Only God can heal... Prayer for healing can work. I have experienced it personaly... but that dose not mean that just because someone prays that the request will be answered in the way the askere wants...

If you are of The True Christian Faith then you may go to God and ask... but you have to be willing to accept the answer you are given...and it will not necessarily be the answer you want recieve.

Answer 9

While many people believe that the power of prayer works and that some can be healers thru Christ and God many ignore the fact that there are many other spiritualities that also believe iin this way of doing things. For myself since I practice the "old ways" of native americans I know for a fact that prayer,fasting,meditation does work. Let the naysayers believe what they want.IF you have faith in your spiritual path and are only trying to do good and work of the "light-side" then if you are meant to be a healer you will be.

Answer 10

If He has given you that gift.

1Corinthians chapter 12

27 Now all of you together are Christ's body, and each one of you is a separate and necessary part of it. 28 Here is a list of some of the members that God has placed in the body of Christ:


first are apostles,
second are prophets,
third are teachers,
then those who do miracles,
those who have the gift of healing,
those who can help others,
those who can get others to work together,
those who speak in unknown languages.


29 Is everyone an apostle? Of course not. Is everyone a prophet? No. Are all teachers? Does everyone have the power to do miracles? 30 Does everyone have the gift of healing? Of course not. Does God give all of us the ability to speak in unknown languages? Can everyone interpret unknown languages? No! 31 And in any event, you should desire the most helpful gifts.

Answer 11

Healing certainly is possible, but I believe that God has to give you the gift according to His will according to 1 Corinthians 12:7-11. If He has given you the gift, then you certainly can. Even if you don't have that particular gift, God can still miraculously heal anyone. He might just be waiting for someone to demonstrate faithful prayer for the situation.

7 Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.
8 To one there is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, to another the message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit,
9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit,
10 to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues.
11 All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he gives them to each one, just as he determines.
