The Close of the Canon Holy Scripture.

[JesusFan]

You have much to learn about divine healing.

When healing happens, ultimately God always performs every healing. But the scriptures say the man healed them, God healed them, or the sick person’s faith healed them.

Acts 28

8 And it came to pass, that the father of Publius lay sick of a fever and of a bloody flux: to whom Paul entered in, and prayed, and laid his hands on him, and healed him.

9 So when this was done, others also, which had diseases in the island, came, and were healed:

Mark 5

34 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.

it is NOT the will of God for every Christian though to be healthy physically, rich financially

 

[Ascetic X]

it is NOT the will of God for every Christian though to be healthy physically, rich financially

It is NOT the will of God for any Christian to be ignorant about spiritual gifts.

1 Corinthians 12:1

Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.

Apostolic signs gifts are not being distributed today by the Holy Spirit

 

[Ascetic X]

Apostolic signs gifts are not being distributed today by the Holy Spirit

I have never seen that phrase “apostolic sign gifts” in the Bible, so it is a man-made doctrine from people who did not have faith in supernatural powers residing in the new birth spirit of Christ within. They strip Christianity of power, so it becomes a mere philosophy.

We have Christ in us. Christ is a healing God who is the same yesterday, today, and forever.


2 Timothy 3:5

Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.


I Corinthians 12 description of spiritual gifts, including healing and working of miracles, was written to the church for all history, it is not declared to be limited to just the first century.


John 14:12

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.



There are signs, but they are not limited to the original apostles. They are displayed by “them that believe”.



Mark 16

17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.



Christianity cares about a person’s eternal destiny AND their physical and mental needs.

God would not turn off healing just because the original apostles died.

Except that God in the bible did signs and wonders in specific salvation periods historically, not all of the time
