Miracle Healing and Christian Deliverance
Miracle Healing and Christian Deliverance
In the early church, there were many teachings that were inconsistent with the teachings of Jesus. For example, the apostles did not perform miracles, such as feeding the 5,000 or walking on water. They were only given power to heal the sick and raise the dead. Such miracles were meant to demonstrate their status as messengers of God. This required the apostles to prove their authenticity and to distinguish false prophets from true ones.
But, the reality is that many baptized Christians no longer practice the Christian faith, and no longer have a connection with Christ. These people are often less likely to be converted than those who have never heard of Jesus and his teachings. In such a case, evangelism becomes more difficult. Even if the person has never heard of Jesus, he has been exposed to enough Christianity to develop an opinion about him.
The Bible teaches that a person is made up of a body and a soul. The risen Christ came to restore the body and the soul, and to save human beings. The gospels record Jesus performing healing miracles and exorcisms, but this practice is not limited to believers. Many healing miracles are performed today, and the body is healed by faith. In a nutshell, the healing miracles of Jesus are testimony to his divinity and his compassion for those who suffer.
Throughout the bible, there are many miracles and miraculous signs that Christians believe. The apostles, for example, did a number of healings. In Acts 16, they cast out demons and blind a sorcerer. In Matthew, Jesus grants the apostles the ability to heal the sick. The apostles were then supposed to pray for those who are ill. In the same way, believers continue the kingdom ministry of Christ.
