YES, I believe & know he does Ive experienced his healing touch in my life many times. The first healing was a very bad infected tooth he totally healed it without a dentist. It was not made whole but I never had any more pain from it ever(THANK YOU LORD). The second healing was in my head I believed I was on my way to the loony bin, suicidal every day, I was absolutely miserable and God set me free, He healed my mind and my heart and gave me hope and joy(THANK YOU LORD FOR HEALING ME), with out you I would not be here) He's healed my body many times from many afflictions and Ive had many breakthroughs and have been set free from many different things I consider these healings also and he is still healing me every day, helping me get to utimate freedom in Christ Jesus in my mind (our biggest battle field)and my life.(THANK YOU LORD). He is the God of healing and restoration it is us all who has put God in a box and put limits on him , we need to let him out and believe Gods word, He is the God of no limits. God and his word is never changing and no where in his word does it say he stopped healing . It is up to us all to put full trust and faith in God and his word and not let the enemy and/or circumstances sway us in any way. To us all, shall be given to us according to the measure of our faith in Christ Jesus. I will not ever again put limits on God, I believe and know He can do all things and that he is still healing today just like he did in the Bible. By his stripes we've already been healed ,we just need to believe and speak our faith, its already been taken care of we need to let go(in our worried carnal heads) & trust God. Our confession of the Word Of God calls for healing which is already ours so we need to speak up and speak his truth. (Hebrews 11:1, Mark 9:23,Mark11:23,24 ,Luke17:6 ,Isaiah 53:5, 1Peter2:24 , Psalms 107:20 ,John 10:10 ,Proverbs 4:20-22 , Psalm 91:10,11 ,Proverbs 12:28 ,Matthew 8:17 ,2Peter 1:3,4 , Luke 17:5,6 ,John 15;7 ,Mark 5:25-29 &34 ,1Corinthians 2:9-12 ,Proverbs 18:20,21 ,Exodus 15:26 ,Psalm 103:2-3 , Psalm 146:3 ,Matthew 4:23 ,Matthew 9:21-22,35 ,Matthew 9:27-29 , Luke 9:6,11 ,) These are just a few verses in the Bible on healing there are many many more, I found 158 verses in my concordance that have the words heal,healed,healeth,healing,healings and health in them. The bible tells us that its already done we just have to believe and speak Gods word (TRUTH) into our lives. The power of life and death, blessings or curses are in the tongue(Proverbs18:7, Mark 11:23, Proverbs 18:20,21 , James3:6 , Proverbs 21:23, Isaiah 57;19, Proverbs10:11, 12:6,14,18, 13:3, 14:3, 15:4, 15:2, 16:23,24) From these few verses we can see that our words have an effect on our health and life. Every time we speak faith it creates a stronger image inside us and the healing image is created by Gods Word and your continual affirmation and agreement with it. Eventually that image will be perfected by The Word of God and we will begin to see ourselves well. When the Word is engrafted into us it infuses its life into us. So we must speak of our faith in God and not of the problem,issue. Faith is the substance of things hoped for and not yet seen.The woman with the issue of blood, it was her faith that made a demand on the healing anointing that was upon Jesus. She kept saying, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be made whole. Faith gave substance to her hope which was in Jesus, (who is God and God is his Word) and healing was manifested in her body. Hope is important but hope lacks substance until filled with faith, faith is taking a step towards, what you no is true but can not yet see. We know the truth of what will be and spiritually already is from our faith in God & his word. It takes time in Gods word,to develop faith that operates with these principles none of us should feel condemned if we go to doctors or anything . In other words we need to operate on our level of faith where we are, continuing in Gods word until we develop faith in the Healing power of Gods Word.

I believe He directly heals us. I believe if you ask for healing and it is meant to be for you then He will heal you.
I have a chronic illness and my youngest daughter does also. I have rheumatoid arthritis and it is in the severe category. I have much joint damage in my hands, wrists, knees, ankles, and feet. I had a knee replacement before the age of 40. My youngest daughter has Juvenile Rheumatoid arthritis diagnosed at the age of 12 and she is now 14. She is currently experiencing a flare in her right hip and has had a cortisone injection in it and is now on a prednisone taper. I have prayed for her healing and it just has not happened. I have a friend that took on her own assignment of praying for healing for me daily. I do believe that the Lord does touch some of my arthritis but for whatever reason it is that He has, He has not put me back into the remission I lost in Oct. of 2006. Why? Couldn't tell you. He has His reasons for that. He has His reasons for 2 out of 4 of my children having this dreaded disease. My oldest daughter had it come on at the age of 22. I pray she is healed as well every single day.
Healing does happen. I have seen it. I have seen a little girl with a horrible brain tumor that had very little chance and now that tumor is gone and she is slowly but surely recovering. the medical community is saying it is a miracle and only prayer and healing from the Lord in Heaven could have shrank this tumor and sent this little girl on the road to recovery. I was part of that praying for her. How humbling that the Lord heard little ole me and healed a little girl in the blink of an eye. Makes me feel very small. I have seen other examples of healing as well.
Jesus gave Paul (I think it was Paul I am horrible at spitting out Scripture due to memory problems from meds and being very ill at one point) the ability to heal. But that was on direction from Christ Himself. He was also kind of teaching Paul (or whomever) a lesson to trust in Him and what He says. Now that Christ no longer physically walks with us I believe the only healing can come directly from the Lord Himself. I don't believe He hands out that power any longer b/c of us messing up so badly with sin etc. It is almost like He can't trust us with all that power. Hmmm. I have to look into this now. You really got my brains going! Praise the Lord for your inspiration for asking this! I am going to learn something!
All I can really tell you is what I feel and believe. It is really up to you having a conversation with Him on this and see where He leads you in an answer to this. Please let me know though what conclusions you do come to from Him. I would be interested in them.
In His Love,
Liz

I do believe God is still giving out the gift of healings and all the wrest of God's spiritual gifts. No where in his word dose it say he stopped. But it does say in (Acts 2:17,18 ,& in Joel 2:28,29)that in the last days ,(which is now) that He's going to pour out his spirit upon all flesh. And in (1Corinthians 12:1-11) it speaks of Spiritual Gifts and them being given to every man to help us all. And each person being a member of one body and all members being needed for the church(us). And in (John 14:12) it says Verily,verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also: greater works then these shall he do : because I go unto my Father. Not greater in quality but in quantity, Christ's ministry was primarily to Israel ,His followers (US) were going to reach the limits of the world. The gift of healings, and all spiritual gifts is God working threw us not any thing of our selves more than just being a willing vessel (participant). God Bless

Thanks bro, I was woundering about the Deception or trickery of some of these so called Healing Ministries, It's my belief that it does harm to the Gospel, Ive heard Heresy come from the mouth of at least one minister and someone bore whitness to the fact of the healing that was around him. so I was wondering, if there was true healing, Who performed it?

My 8 yr old son laid his hands on our oscar fish when the fish had died. He put the fish back into the aquarium. When we returned home from church service later that day, the oscar fish was swimming.

God stays the same. He has healed , is healing and will continue to heal both directly and indirectly, as well as through others. I am a living, breathing example of God's healing. My daughter is also. My story is about debilitating headaches that I had for over 20 years. One night I dreamed of my healing and I haven't had a headache since. Thank you God. My daughter on the other hand, was born prematurely and suffered a brain hemorrage when she was three days old. As a result, she was diagnosed with many physical and mental disabilities. The doctors told us that she would be a vegetable for the rest of her life and that we should place her in a state institution so that it wouldn't cost us any money. They also gave us a life expectancy of 13 years old. My daughter still suffers from many disabilities but she walks, talks, sings, teaches me about God and is alive and well and will soon be 23 years old. If that isn't proof of healing, then what is? Another example of healing is my mother-in-law - daignosed with lung cancer - now there is no cancer and God has assured her that she will never have it again. Hope this helps you to accept that God still heals and whatever it is that you need his healing for just ask for it, believe you will receive it, and wait for it to come.

I believe that GOD still heals today , like He did back when He walked on earth. He uses all of the docs, nurses, & etc to heal aswell. I also believe that GOD still does miracles because they have happened in my life before , praise GOD. GOD is GOD & nothing will ever change that ( Hebrews 13:8)
