Miracle Healing in Charismatic Christianity

The rise of charismatic Christianity in the United States is not without its difficulties. Not only has Christianity become a global religion, it has also shifted the focus of missionary work. In many ways, this trend is an attempt to revitalize an old religion in the midst of a global culture that is increasingly secular. Charismatic Christianity is often described as “evangelical Christianity.”

After the resurrection of Christ, the apostles founded the early church. They traveled, preaching the gospel and empowering people. They performed miracles, raised the dead, and exorcised demonic spirits. These miracles are documented in the gospels, Acts, and Matthew. These accounts show how healing was common among the early church members. The apostles were referred to as “spiritual leaders” and possessed of powers to heal.

In the New Testament, the Church recognizes that prayer can heal the sick. Anointing a sick person with oil is a powerful way to experience Jesus’ healing power. As Jesus touched the sick people in his ministry, he continues to heal through the sacraments. These sacraments make Jesus Christ present, and the power of prayer manifests itself in a unique way. The healing power of the sacraments is evident in the lives of ordinary believers, and the faith of these followers is what allows them to perform miracles.

The biblical understanding of a person’s existence includes the soul and body. The work of Christ was to save souls and human beings, thereby restoring both body and soul to a state of wholeness. The Gospel accounts of Jesus’ public ministry are filled with miracles and exorcisms, and these powerful displays of God’s work. However, they cannot be used to sway people from their faith in the power of God.
