Do you believe faith healing is real?

[Dennis1209]

If it's in the Lord's plan, purpose and will:

James 5:16 (KJV) Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

considering the world these days that is a good question Frank....      I was a Television Director for 8 or 9 years before I got hungry and found a good Job with Xerox.....     I've witnessed extreme fraud taping some of those healing shows and I have witnessed some real actual healings though I would consider them rare.     I personally would believe that the healings that I have seen came from the faith of the person being healed and not from the so called healer....

That is my personal experience from looking from behind the curtains back in the 60's and 70's when I was in the TV business.

The Lord can do anything he wants. One thing, though, is this: A Christian lifestyle promotes good health.

In Christ Jesus, we can walk in divine health, and also experience divine healing. Some of the most dedicated followers of the Lord can and do have misfortunate infirmities that occur. At some point in our lives, these bodies of clay will fail us. At that time God calls us home.

As has been said, the Bible instructs us to always pray for healing, with or without, the laying on of hands. But in 1 Cor. 12 Paul delineates several very specific spiritual gifts, one of which is healing. Let me say that I don't think even Bro. Hagin understood exactly how all this works although he tried to. One thing he talked of is God giving him an anointing when he was going to be asked to pray for healing. He has said, that when praying for many people he can feel it when the anointing wears off. So it seems that for those few people who had the gift of healing that they needed God to give them an extra anointing of the Holy Spirit which Hagin seemed to think was necessary to get better-than-average results.

    Since there are so many phonies trying to exploit this we mustn't believe just anyone who claims he has this gift. Case-in-point, several yrs ago I received a pm from a man who said he had a healing ministry and he offered to pray for me. I replied with, fine, thank you. But then a 2nd pm told me this man could only do if I called him on the phone. That made a warning flag go up but I called him anyway. I was on the phone with the would-be healer 30 - 45 minutes and nothing happened. I can't say I know why but I soon realized the would-be healer was looking for recognition & glory. This could be why nothing happened. In my case I lost nothing other than 1 hour of 1 day.

Hey Frank. Yes. Well I know He can't lie. He said.. these signs fallow them that believe. Cast out demons, lay hands on the sick... Peter and John at the gate beautiful said to a man look at us... we don't any silver or gold but what I do have give I unto you in Jesus name. So what did they have that you or I do not? More of Jesus? Did you notice they never had to pray OH JESUS if it be your will, Father ...you name it. What did they tell people there that thought THEY healed that man? "Men of Israel, why do you marvel at this? Or why look so intently at us, as though by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk?" They said "its FAITH in His name"

Isa 53 5 by His strips you are healed. I peter 2 24 by His strips you were healed. I don't look at others to see of GODS word works. It always works. Seen a blind woman get prayed for.. to then jump scream shout cry.. yeah.. she could see. Seen 1st hand what doubt does. Where we all saw a man full of faith always had the bible never doubted that had cancer. One day driving with him. He stops the car...starts to cry and cry. Didn't believe he would be healed. Never told anyone this. Gods mercy and grace and compassion is beyond ours. But doubt.. He said if you doubt let not that man think he will receive anything from God.

We know Jesus went into a town and all He could do was lay hands on a few and teach. See we need to KNOW God can't lie. But we look as Peter did at the things around us and then? We sink. That wall so to speak hits all of us. We need to stand and now bow but have faith that HE CAN'T LIE! "same power Jeremy Camp".

And we don't work our faith. So many wait till something bad happens GOD FORBID and they try to believe and fall " but they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. " "glow in the dark Jason Gray".

Faith.. it comes from HIS WORD! Think on things He has done in your life. Keep the word in you heart about ALL THINGS. Pray about all things. Pray in the spirit. KNOW He hears you. If you KNOW He hears you.. what did HE say about that? Not what I SAY or ANY MAN..what does HE say? You stand on that.. but everyone everything around me is falling.. KEEP STANDING! He can't lie. Always repent of any sin. And KNOW He is for you not against you. He can't lie..but I saw.. HE can't lie...but so and said...He can't lie. Ask Him. It is so sorry shocking to me that we say Jesus is real and is in us. But.. why can't we just talk to Him? We know the holy spirit talks. Does not He lead and guide us into ALL truth?

kind of got carried away here. Yes I believe Jesus still heals. We have His name. And that NAME will always do what He said it would.
