Kitty,

It is prayer. God can touch anyone anyway anywhere.

It is called Faith, that God will heal and He does.

Shalom Laura,

No, not really. What they are doing is actually being given a word from the Holy Spirit of His work in someone's life. They know of a specific healing or touch and call it out.

It is not prayer, but a gift of the Holy Spirit.

Also, just as an aside, G-d does not always heal, even if we have faith.

I think others have made that clear in other threads....

as far as your first part goes...amen and amen...

I still don't get the whole quote button thing.. I tried to just do the parts I want to quote...but just can't figure it out...

Vickilynn,

I know what Word of Knowledge is. I knew others would be explaining it in further detail.

I was just saying that it is through prayer, that God can answer prayers and heal from anywhere at anytime. Part of her question was about the TV prayers also.

Many believe in the Word of Knowledge, as I do, and others do not. To avoid controversary, I try to keep things simple

uh oh.. I'm gonna be trampled for saying this but.. I thought that gift of "knowledge" was done away with along with teh gift of tongues Isn't it the samekind of knowledge Paul is talking about in 1 Cor 13 when he says that where they be tongues and prophecyings, they shall cease and... knowledege, etc?

Someone else can tackle this one

Amen!

It does take faith, in order for these healings to happen. Even Jesus said He wouldn't heal people in His own town and the reason is the people in His own town didn't have faith He could do it. They watched Him grow up and doubted this carpenter's son could do anything. Their hearts were already hardened against Him. The ones who came from far away to Him, came with faith that He could heal them and they were healed.

Often, there are millions of people watching during the same show when the pastor calls out, "now a headache is being healed" and you wonder just how many headaches there are watching being healed when he calls that out. Can they possibly all be healed by God? Yes! If the ones watching have faith God can and will heal them. I've been one of those healings. The quickest way I've ever gotten rid of a headache is believing in God to take it away, and He does. It has everything to do with faith.

But I think you had to know there was a division over this issue before you asked the question, and had to figure going in that what you were bringing up would potentially cause a division between those who believe the gifts are in operation today and those who do not.

SHE KNEW IT WAS CONTROVERSARY, BUTERO LOL

AND THANK YOU BUTERO, FOR YOUR ANSWER!

[None]

Looks that way.

Shalom Laura,

I'm not trying to argue with you, but you should understand that your post is all we people know of you. And we don't know what you know or don't know or what you believe. I only went by the words contained in your post. I understand simplifying something, but the reason I spoke up is that what you wrote, although simple, was not accurate. I didn't want anyone confused or unintentionally misled. I wanted to clarify that what was happening on the 700 Club was not simple prayer or faith, but actually, Word of Knowledge.

It doesn't matter if someone believes in it or not, it is a Biblical reality, even if some believe it has passed away, it still is or was a specific gift of the Holy Spirit. I believe we should be as accurate as possible to avoid confusion, even if it is a controversial topic. Controversy is not a bad thing, in my opinion.

1 Corinthians 12

4 Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; 5 and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; 6 and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone. 7 To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. 8 To one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, 10 to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the ability to distinguish between spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. 11All these are empowered by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as he wills.

Two friends of mine were driving down a highway one afternoon, and it was raining pretty hard. As they were headed down the road, they saw a man in a suit walking in the rain coming the opposite direction. One of my friends (the passenger) said, "what is up with him?" Suddenly, my other friend who was driving just blurted out, "he is an evangelist, and his car just broke down up the road and he is headed back to the last town, to get help." So they turned around and stopped to help the man, and sure enough, he was on his way to a week of meetings to preach at a particular Church's campmeeting revival. I believe the word of knowledge is still in operation.

I have seen other instances first hand where the "word of knowledge" was in operation in such a way that there was no way it could have been anyone other the Lord using the individual through which the word came.

I don't think it is wise to limit our ability to believe that the Lord can and will still move in supernatual ways. It is one of the ways He is glorified and His Name is sanctified in the eyes of all people.
