For me my friend, GOD healing YOU or anyone else is not the question neither is it the focus of this thread.
It was about a MAN claiming to be able to heal the sick i.e. Mr. Benny Hinn.
GOD heals!!!! GOD has always healed!!!
IMO......having attended many faith healing services is that the faith healers are frauds
and charlatans doing nothing but fleecing the flock.
Look it up! There has not been one single medically verified healing done by Mr. Hinn.
I think that men claiming to be able to heal the sick is a misunderstanding of what Jesus meant when He said to the 70 who went out around the villages, "Heal the sick." I don't believe that He gave them any special ability to heal the sick. I believe that when they used His Name as His representatives as the authority to command a sick person to recover then it was not the disciples' power that brought about the healing; it was the power of the Holy Spirit through the authority of His Name. This is how the disciples in Acts 2 (?) understood it when they prayed, "Let signs and wonders be done in the Name of your holy child Jesus Christ." It was, and still is, the power of the Name of Jesus that brought about the healing. So, in effect, it is Jesus who does the healing, and not the guy who uses the Name.
It is basically the same as the Governor General of New Zealand who is representing the Queen of England. He can use the name of the Queen to perform certain functions that the Queen would have done if she were here in our country. The Governor General is not acting under his own authority, but the delegated authority given to him through his appointment as Governor General. So, if a person receives a knighthood and it is conferred in New Zealand, the Governor General can confer it as the Queen's representative, and it will be recognised by the British Crown. But our Prime Minster cannot confer a knighthood, because he has no authority from the Queen to do it. This is what representation and delegated authority is all about.
As a Court Victim Advisor, I could advise and counsel victims of crime because I had the delegated authority from the Ministry of Justice to do it. But now that I have retired from that position, I cannot go and advise victims of crime with Ministry authority, because I no longer have that right. I can advise victims, but the Court judge does not have to accept my report because I am not doing it under Ministry delegation, but under my own name.
This is where these evangelists promote the misunderstanding and give the impression that they can heal people under their own name, when God may not have elevated them into that role. It is only when Jesus calls and appoints a person to the role of healing evangelist and gives them the authority to use His Name, that when they use that Name in obedience, healing can take place. And not everyone, however prominent they may be, has been given that authority, and it is quite possible that many of these men who claim to heal people, may be taking the Lord's Name in vain, by trying to use it without His authority to do so.
I know that some will disagree, on the basis that they believe that Jesus has given everyone that authority to use His Name. If that were so, then we would see many more miraculous healings through every Tom, Dick, and Harry using His Name. But we don't see that happening, so I am tending to believe that Jesus has to do something definite to confer His Name and authority on a person He has chosen to perform healing, signs and wonders in His Name. I am not sure what that is. I don't think that I have it, because people don't get healed when I minister to them. Perhaps I have not been called by the Lord to have that role and ministry, although anyone can pray for a sick person to be healed, albeit with varying results.
