Miracle Healing and Christian Deliverance

The first century was a time of persecution, but the church was growing rapidly by the fourth century. The Roman Emperor Constantine converted in 312 and the Edict of Milan legalized Christianity, which moved it from persecution to state sponsorship. Over the next three centuries, the church added about half a million new converts each generation, and most of them converted after experiencing a miracle or healing. Conversion to Christianity was risky, however, as it carried the penalty of imprisonment or death.

Christian scriptures list several types of miracles. The first two, healing and tongues, are considered to be temporary sign gifts given by the Holy Spirit. When a person receives one of these gifts, it means that they are being used for a special purpose. The Bible lists many examples of such gifts, including healings, tongues, interpretation, and miracles.

The second type of miracle is the use of supernatural power. Miracles are a way for people to see that God has power to do the impossible. Scriptures show that Jesus performed many miracles, including healing the sick and casting out demons. Miracles are also a way to prove that Jesus is the Son of God. During worship, people should ask God for signs and wonders and see if God is doing it.

A Christian’s response to blasphemy against the HS is not a perfect one. In fact, some Christians feel discouraged from going to confession before they die. This is because harsh penances are given in medieval times.
