In 2013 I discovered Curry Blakes DVD set on Healing Technicians. I then purchased his manual. It involved an updated version of John G Lake's Healing Technician manual. I found the theory very interesting. The premise is that the way Jesus healed people as recorded in the Gospels should be carefully studied, and adopted as the sure fire way that we can get sick people healed. Curry Blake was very convincing and I enjoyed his ministry. I felt that the technique was worth putting into practice. I decided that I was going to offer ministry to every person with a medical condition, who came across my path. I had some interesting encounters and the ones I prayed for appreciated that I cared for them enough to offer a prayer.
But in the eight years since, I have seen no notable healing except for minor conditions that would have resolved themselves through natural or medical processes. So, after all this time of trying, and I think eight years of effort would prove whether the technique would either work or not.
I have come to the conclusion that after all this time I have not been able to demonstrate the theory in actual practice. Therefore, the conclusion is that the technique doesn't work.
I have realised that Jesus healed people during HIs ministry in Israel to show that He was the Christ, the Son of the Living God. There is no way that we can duplicate the mass healing that He did. This is not to say that God does not heal people, but He is sovereign and He decides who He is going to heal and who He allows to remain sick. God is not a push button healing vending machine that gives guaranteed healing on demand.
This doesn't stop me requesting healing for a sick person in terms of Philippians 4:6-7, but I can't say anything to the sick person that might suggest that I am some kind of power that when I say, "Jesus heals you", or, "I curse this sickness", that the healing will happen as a result. To imply that God will automatically heal a person because I say it, is to give the sick person a false hope. In fact, I would be lying to the sick person.
Those who have read my previous posts about healing will know how strongly I have supported the healing ministry and that God is willing to heal sick people. I wrote my M.Div research paper on the healing ministry, tracing healing through Scripture, church history, and current healing ministry practices. I know that there are testimonies of people being healed, and that is wonderful for them, but never the mass healing that Jesus produced during His ministry.
Therefore, I believe that we can't do what Jesus did, because none of us are Jesus, nor do any of us have the same calling and mission that Jesus had in Israel. We see that Luke recorded the signs and wonders that occurred during Peter's and Paul's ministry, but never on the same scale as Jesus. What Luke doesn't record are the multitudes of sick people who weren't healed.
Therefore I conclude that there is no set formulae for ministering healing. All we can do is to request healing for a sick person, and then leave it to the sovereignty of God.
Anyone can write a book, or produce a manual for healing, but that is all they can do. Producing a book is one thing, being able to demonstrate in sick people what is written and quoted from Scripture is quite another.
Therefore, I have decided not to give any false impression that I have any power to heal sick people, or that my prayers have any special effectiveness over and above anyone else. If I continue to give that impression, I would feel that I am lying to sick people by getting to believe a technique or formula that simply doesn't work in practice.
Respectfully, I think you are coming at this from a faulty position.
You are correct that you, in yourself, have absolutely no power to heal.
I also believe that you are correct that Jesus healed on a "mass level" because he was Jesus.
BUT, Jesus didn't heal because he was "the Son of God." Remember, he lowered himself and took on our form, our likeness. He was a man just as we. So be sure his healing power didn't come from his status as the Son of God. He was and is our example in all things.
His healing power, his power in general came out of his relationship with the Holy Spirit. The Apostles even had great healing ministries and they certainly were no gods, they only worked with and were led by the Holy Spirit. Peter's shadow would heal people. Paul would merely touch napkins and cloths that could be sent across the empire and they would heal and cast out demons.
The power comes from the Holy Spirit.
Jesus said in John 5, that he did what he saw the Father doing. Nothing more, nothing less. When he healed the paralytic at the Pool of Bethesda, there would have been dozens if not hundreds of sick and lame people there, but he only went to one. When Peter healed the lame man in Acts 2, Jesus would have no doubt have walked by that man many times, but never once ministered healing to him. Why? Because it wasn't the Father's will.
I think we as Christians can get discouraged because I've prayed for 100 healings and have seen very few if any. When if we would just work with the Father, say Father what is your will. Show me what you are doing and then just wait on him, the work would come.
We put the cart before the horse is what I'm trying to say. I've done it, much to my harm. For a time I just didn't even try because "I have not seen the results and I would rather not make God and myself look bad."
Now I just stay in constant communication with God through the Holy Spirit and I constantly seek his will and guidance. It may not be perfect, I may miss signs, but I trust that in his grace he will lead me to where he wants me to be. That includes seeing healings and miracles.
I don't believe God gives us these powers to just use on a whim. He performs signs and wonders to validate the message I believe. Just my thought, but I'd say don't give up on it. Talk with God, wait for him to reveal his will and how he wants us to perform his work, then work it out in faith.
