Gift of Healings

The Bible records miraculous healings performed by Jesus and the apostles—instant, complete, and undeniable acts of divine power that confirmed the truth of the gospel. Unlike today’s so-called faith healers, these miracles never depended on the recipient’s faith, were never performed for money or fame, and left no room for failure.

In contrast, modern healing ministries often manipulate emotions, blame the sick for their lack of faith, and promise guaranteed healing that the Bible never teaches. While God still heals according to His will, Scripture makes it clear that physical healing is not always promised in this life. Even Paul and his companions experienced illness that was not miraculously healed, showing that suffering can be part of God’s greater purpose (2 Corinthians 12:9, 1 Timothy 5:23).

True healing is not about chasing miracles but trusting in God’s sovereignty. Our ultimate hope is in Christ, who will one day bring complete restoration—where sickness, suffering, and death will be no more (Revelation 21:4).

Below, we explore the biblical view of healing and expose the deception of modern faith-healing movements.

Disclaimer:

Before we enter the discussion of this topic it is important to note that we are not saying praying for healing is a bad thing or that God cannot heal people today. He can certainly do all that is in His will to do.  What we are saying is that the “gift” of healing through the hands of specific individuals is not something that is in operation today.
