Michel, you make an interesting point, about healing, in your beginning post.
Jesus used earth and spittle, and made clay, and placed it on a mans eyes, and he was told to wash in the pool of Salom.
John 9: 5-7
5- As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
6- When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay.
7- And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Silom, (which is by interpretation, Sent) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.
A healing today must be done in the name of Jesus Christ. It must be done by the power of Jesus Christ. The phrase "I heal you in the name of Jesus Christ" must be said, otherwise it is invalid. We must always give credit to Jesus Christ, in whom our healing comes. We cannot heal without using the name of Jesus Christ. The method may not be important to all religions, but the name in which the healing is done, is very important. We can do nothing, except through Christ our Savior. He is the one that heals us and has born the stripes for our diseases.
Jesus Christ took 39 stripes on his back. There are 39 basic diseases. He was bruised for our iniquity. We must look to Christ for our healing. He was raised from the dead so that all might live and be well. All brokeness of body and of spirit can and will be healed by believing, only, in Jesus Christ. A free gift, at death, to all, both sinners and saints will be a perfect resurrected body. Our spiritual man is another matter. Whatever degree of spiritual progression or digression that we obtain in this life, will follow us into the next life.
We must do everything in the name of Jesus Christ. If you can't do it in the name of Jesus Christ then it should be avoided. Satan will have us try to draw upon his powers by not using Jesus Christ's name. Satan hates that name. When we use Jesus Christ's name Satan has to leave. Whatever prayer you pray, begin it and end it in the name of Jesus Christ.
I have had three seperate healings this way. One was instant and complete. Another was instant but was not complete and took a few weeks for me to completely heal. The other one I am currently experiencing now. I had a miracualous healing of the bones in my foot (this was instant), before that I was unable to put any pressure on it for, 4 months, without unbearable pain. Then a few weeks later I had another miraculous healing of the scar tissue that had developed deep inside my foot. A lot of dead tissue in my foot was removed miraculously and the pain in my foot completely went away. Before then I could not even touch or move my foot without pain. I do not have pain in my foot now but it is still stiff. I have loosen it up a bit or wait for it to completely regenerate itself. All of the tissues in my foot were pretty much destroyed. It was blue and grey for weeks then purple now it is red and looks new. Just a liitle swollen. It is almost completely healed. My foot was smashed between my 400 pound motorcycle and some guys bumper at 15 miles an hour. Now I just have to wait for the foot to loosen up a bit and the swelling to go down. I almost completely healed. Either I will get another instant healing or I will just wait for it to completely heal on it's own, which I feel it will do now. The body is designed to heal to a certain degree, but when it can't I think we should call on the healing powers of Jesus Christ to do what the body is not designed to do automatically. Jesus Christ wants us to do this. He begs us to do it. He begs us to call on His name for healing.
I have experience fever of 101 return to normal in an instant, but did not thank the Father in Jesus Christ's name for this, and the fever returned. Thanking the Father, for healing, in Jesus Christ's name is extremely important. We must pray to the Father in the name of Jesus Christ for our healing. It will happen if you keep asking for it, especially if you are doing lot's of things for God. He is quick to return the many things that we have done for Him, in the form of healings and other miracles.
I need to add that none of my healings happened as a result of anyone laying hands on me or reciting any incantaion. I was healed directly by God because of a simple prayer said by another Christian. The instant and complete healing came as a reslult of a prayer from an LDS missionary companion of mine and the other two came as a result of a prayer said over me by two different Charismatic Christians. Yes, they can heal too.
