Do you think that it is a joke when a Catholic Church has a healing service?? You do know that there are Roman Catholic Churches that do have healing services? By the way, I don’t know who Leroy Jenkins is…:o

God Bless!

BTW YES I have been to a healing service, but they did not jump like a chichen with they head cut off…
DID you ever see a faith healer go to a hosp. and heal any one and if they can heal people that fast they WHY NOT

The person is not the healer but the Holy Spirit. I have been personally healed at a healing service at my Church. So, yes I believe and I have seen!

God Bless!

I had a ruptured eardrum and could not hear.

And you actually had a diagnosis beforehand like, “yes, you’ve ruptured your eardrum and it’s not going to heal on its own” and afterward it actually was healed?

Edit: I just did a quick google search and found this:
A ruptured or perforated eardrum may be uncomfortable, but it usually heals by itself within 2 months. Any hearing loss is usually temporary.

Is that a fair description of what you had?

I was diagnosed and told that it would take at least 6 weeks to heal-- I was really sick with a lot of pain. Needless to say, I did share my experience with my doctor.

God Bless!

So… a condition that heals relatively quickly without any medical intervention or faith healing healed quickly without medical intervention, and you attribute this to faith healing? :confused:

I know that you don’t believe, and that is okay. I don’t know if I would really believe it if I didn’t experience it myself. I am sharing my experience of walking out of healing service and being healed by the Holy Spirit.

God Bless!
 
I have read recent medical reports that praying does facilitate healing.
 
1 out of a 1,000 may get help… Are you saying that all the people that Benny Hinn hits on the head and they fall down like a chichen with its head cut off is heal,
 
How many people have you seen that was blind and was at a heal ing service that can now see

A positive mindset can really help the healing process. However, in the only study I’ve ever heard of that actually evaluated the effects of intercessory prayer in a scientific way, the group being prayed for did slightly worse than the group not being prayed for… though the difference between the two groups was within the margin of error of the study.
 
you guys seen this old movie called Leap of Faith?

i loved the message of that movie. basically, Steve Martin was a fraud healer moving from town to town and conducting fake healings just so he can collect money from the people. eventually two miracles happened. the boy who couldn’t walk was able to. and the drought on the town he visited ended. it overwhelmed him and he left his fake ministry when he realized the true power of God. the message of the story is, it wasn’t him that heals, it was the faith of the people in God. the people thought he was geniuine and even though he was there just for the money, the people believed in their hearts that God was going to heal them and end the drought, and so God did inspite of the fake healer.

remember, in the bible whenever Jesus heals, he never says “I have healed you.” instead He says, “your faith has healed you.”
 
I just read where one of you live…and now I can see where you are coming from…Yes, I would see those emotional pandemoniums along with a minority of snake handlers…can be pretty strange.

I would put them in God’s hands and come to a Catholic healing service led by a priest.
 
Does anyone know anything about a Frank Kelly from Boston who is has the gift of healing as well as that of knowledge or wisdom about a person’s heart? They say he has many of Padre Pio’s gifts.

Good post. I just want to add. Yes, miracle of healing does occur. What we have to bear in mind though that the Evil One also can heal. It’s important to know where the source of the healing comes from. Of course it goes without saying that when we come to God it is safe to say that the healing is attributed to God.

Healing is Biblical. In the NT all those who came to Jesus for healing were healed. What is more important though is not so much of being healed but to know who the healer is. If healing leads one to know God then that would leads to a more comprehensive healing. Physical healing is like a jump start to other forms of healing. But even if we do not experience physical healing, the Lord can always heal our emotional, mental and even spiritual sickness. If we become a changed person as a result during the encounter, then healing certainly has taken place somewhere in us.

Healing by God would bring peace to a person but not if it is by the evil One for he is basically a murderer and a liar. We can always pray for healing for a person but it is God who does the healing. Sincere motive should not put too much emphasis on physical healing but rather the healing of our emotion and spirit which has far reaching consequence on the healing that we truly need.

God bless.

Well, that’s the different between you and a non-believer. I have nothing against non-believers but just to point out that different people take things differently. You said it it is God (the Holy Spirit) healed you while others may say the healing would take place naturally anyway.

It is like a person who had a fish bone stuck in his throat while eating. He prays or being prayed over and the fish bone is gone. He can say that God removes the fish bone; a non-believer will say the fish bone can be dislocated anyway on its own by the movement of the throat muscle. A believer will give thanks to God for his love and mercy; a non-believer would be simply glad that it does not lead to something more painful.

We believe our God is a living God and he is alive. He listens and he knows everything about us. He entertains us in our plea for healing sometimes because he knows we are weak. His love for us is like a father loving a child; sometimes he indulges the child even if it is not that important to him but because he love the child too much and, heck, he is a Father.

God bless.
