Shalom in Messiah Jesus,
Concerning healing: Healing is for today. But I don't see much of it. Some medical stats put psychosomatic healings at 80%. That's a lot. How do all these people get healed at Benny Hinn services? Well, there's about 75 of that 80%. The rest may truly have been healed by G-d. Not because of Benny (he's a liar and a fraud) but because of the individuals faith who was healed. This doesn't include long time followers of Benny Hinn and his type. If you've been continuing to follow Benny for a long time, then I say, you know better and refuse to hear G-d's voice! G-d PROMISES to lead us into ALL truth so if we are not in the truth then we are not listening to G-d. It's not G-d's fault... it's our own.
Healing does happen. I've seen it in my own life. I was diagnosed with Hepatitis C. It's incurable. This was about a year ago. I alerted the prayer warriors I knew as well as the churches I speak at and we all went to prayer. I had to go through a series of tests and each time they confirmed that I had Hep C. It hit my entire family pretty hard. We've all been fortunate and haven't had any health problems even though we aren't the healthiest group in the world (bad diet etc). After prayer, I went for my final tests and the Dr came out and told me that somehow I beat Hep. C. I asked, "how is that possible?" and he said it has been done before but is extremely rare. Not only did I beat it. I still have the anti-bodies in my blood which prove that I did have it once upon a time. There are Ministers that I've known for many years who I know to be upright men. One of these friends dad was a missionary to Africa 40 or so years ago. My friend was just a child but he saw his dad lay hands on a man who had no arm. When his dad laid hands on him the man grew an arm and all 5 fingers. That is G-d. It doesn't happen much anymore but I think there's a reason for that. I think G-d is allowing miracles to go more unseen at this time for some unknown reason to us. Not that it never happens but I think it's rare. Please don't write me and say "well this one's real and this was real etc". I don't have any way to refute you unless I was there or I know the people you're talking about. Here's the downside of healing. The Devil can heal too. The Devil can give sickness and thereby he can also remove it. It takes a discerning individual to be able to tell the difference so be careful. I've seen real healings and I'll tell you... there was something wrong. Everyone around me was saying "praise G-d etc" but I knew this was a deception. Not a fake healing... a real healing but not from G-d.]
The Bible confirms that this can happen in Revelation 13. 13 And he doeth great signs, that he should even make fire to come down out of heaven upon the earth in the sight of men.
14 And he deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by reason of the signs which it was given him to do in the sight of the beast
So it can happen.
Blessings,
