In the Bible days, the sick were healed, blind received their sight, deaf were made to hear, cripples walked lepers were cleansed, and all manner of sick and suffering people were made whole by God’s divine power.
God is a Healer
Ex. 15:26 and He has never changed: “I am the Lord, I change not”
Malachi 3:6
For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
Jesus Christ healed the sick
Matthew 9:35 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.
Mark 6:55-56 And ran through that whole region round about, and began to carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he was. 56 And whithersoever he entered, into villages, or cities, or country, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him that they might touch if it were but the border of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole.
Acts 10:38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.Jesus has never changed “The same yesterday, and today, and forever” Heb. 13:8 Jesus commanded His Disciples to Heal the sick Matthew 10:1-7 And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease. 2 Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; 3 Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alphæus, and Lebbæus, whose surname was Thaddæus; 4 Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him. 5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: 6 but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Luke 10:1After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come.
Luke 10:8-9 And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you: 9 and heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
And a true disciple of Christ is the same today as then. “If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed. John 8:31
Miracles of healing were everywhere manifested in the ministry of the Early Church. The Acts of the Apostles record the birth and growth of the True Church and is the example and pattern for the Church “unto the end of the world”
Matthew 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Acts 3:6 Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. Acts 4:29 And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word, Acts 5:12 And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solomon’s porch. Acts 6:8 And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people. Acts 8:5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them. Acts 14:3 Long time therefore abode they speaking boldly in the Lord, which gave testimony unto the word of his grace, and granted signs and wonders to be done by their hands. Acts 14:9 the same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed. Acts 14:10 and with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped and walked. Acts 19:11-12 And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul: 12 so that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them.Hebrews 2:3-4 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; 4 God also bearing them witness, both with Signs and Wonders, and with Divers Miracles, and Gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will? Jesus commissioned All Believers among all nations, to the end of the world, to lay their hands on the sick, promising “that they shall recover” Mark 16:15-18 And certainly true Believers have never changed. Jesus said, “He that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he do also”
John 14:12
