Matthew 10:1
Jesus called his twelve disciples to him and gave them authority to drive out impure spirits and to heal every disease and sickness.

So, I’ve watched on YouTube people who claimed healings in their churches. Is it possible that they were real healings. (ones on YouTube), or are they fake? Were Paul’s miracles real? Can we be healed through faith in God and his Son Jesus?

Love and Thanks

I have witnessed healings from God in my lifetime. There are legitimate healings that have happened. I know of people that have been brought back from the dead and healed of damage from that. I can think of one that comes to mind:

Mom prays, dead son comes back to life

I have seen Ultrasounds with miraculous healings that doctors said was impossible. There are many great things God still does in this world. Not everyone is healed, and sometimes it can be a lifelong turmoil. Some people like to bash on healings being done today, which I have seen on forums like this one. Those people come and go and sow seeds of doubt, for what reason I don't really care to know, but what is not faith building is probably not of God.

God is alive forever more, the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. They are the God of life, love, peace, truth, wisdom, knowledge. And so much more. They are almighty to the creation of the massive universe as the book of Genesis states. There are great witness accounts throughout the bible, including the new testament. Jesus is the Son of God and is Lord of all. God the Father is King, and the Holy Ghost is our tremendous blessing from our God.

I believe Like the disciples and Apostles who were IN Christ and are IN Christ … ARE Godly and have the know how and authority to lay hands on the sick, poor in spirit, and appeal in Jesus name that they be healed….

The tv performances appear to me disingenuous and more-so entertainment than a serious private appeal to the Lord God…

1 Kings 17 is an excellent chapter to read about a woman whose son died….and how a man of God….appealed to God privately…..to return the boys soul back to his body….so the boy would resume bodily living.
And it was so.

Glory to God,
