Faith Healing
Introduction:
Faith healing is thoroughly based on what is believed religiously by a certain individual, the patient and what level of faith they have. Faith is an action word, it means doing or believing in the impossible. Such as, moving mountains, saving a persons life, or believing in miracles. James writes in the Bible, “For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead.” (1) Here what James is stating is, if one has faith but doesn’t do things to prove it, or show it, then it’s pointless. That faith is dead. Real faith is performed by believing in what is unseen, but more than just believing has to be done here. Even Satan believes, but he has no works. He lives in hell, and tortures those who don’t choose to live with Jesus in eternity.
Faith Healing started back before the earliest records, it took place even in the Medieval Times. In those times, royalty was brought to the king and he was believed to have to power to heal through a touching motion. In todays time, there have been numerous reports of miracle cures. Faith is described as a powerful gift from God, out of the many gifts given from Him. In the book of Matthew, he writes “He replied, Because you have so little faith, Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’and it will move. Nothing will be impossible.” (2) This verse shows just how mighty the word “faith” really is. A mustard seed is about one or two millimeters in diameter, compare that to a pin dot made on the tip of a human finger. It is so powerful that if one had only have that much faith, that mountains could be move. How phenomenal is that?
