FAITH HEALERS - NYOBS 13.08

RABBIT TRAIL FROM NYOBS 13 - HEALING SCRIPTURES



FAITH HEALERS - RABBIT TRAIL
  • The New Age movement says; It doesn’t matter what you believe as long is you are sincere.
  • Today we have Faith Healers who in their services have manifestations of phenomena that are just astounding.  Some of their teachings however, cause the believer to abandon their basic scriptural beliefs.
  • The trend has begun that it does not matter what you believe as long as you have the manifestations of the phenomena in your ministry. 
  • Phenomena should not determine Doctrine. The magicians in Pharaohs’ court could produce the same phenomena as Moses’ did.  Here we see darkness vs.; light.  The scripture says that Satan and his angles can transform themselves into angels of light. 
  • Scripture alone should determine your doctrine; proving scripture with scripture.

Matt 24:24
24 For false Christ’s and false prophets will appear and perform great signs
 and miracles to deceive even the elect-if that were possible. 
25 See, I have told you ahead of time.

·         However, we should not “squelch the working of the Holy Spirit”, but searching the scriptures, we should check out all we see and hear.

1 Thess 5:19
19 Quench not the Spirit.
20 Despise not prophesying.
 21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
22 Abstain from all appearance of evil. KJV

·         Primarily, Jesus came to seek and save the lost. Healing followed because of His compassion.
Miracles and signs were used to confirm that Jesus was who He said He was.
·         All miracles of healing in the Bible happened spontaneously; they were not foretold in advance; and there were no failures and no experimentations to see what would happen. – There was no pre-selection.
·         Fake healers have a selection process with staff “doctors” that select the “neurotics’ with no organic disorder before they have their sessions, those whose’ mind can be manipulated.

I believe God answer’s prayers.
I believe the Special “Gift of Healing” is available today.
And I check out what I believe by what God’s Word says in the Scriptures.


2 Cor 11:14-15 – Demon’s can masquerade as angels of light
14 And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.

15 It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. NIV
