This gift of supernatural healing
allows God to work in the pathologies
of individuals and in groups. When one member of the body is sick than
this effects the whole body. The bearer of this Gift has the power to
transcend the physical reality of a situation and defy bad reports
given by worldly authorities. By seeking to know the one true God in
Heaven the bearer receives a glimpse of the compassion of that God has
for our everyday lives. Caring that spirit in their hearts the bearer
imparts some of the reality of Heaven in to the sick persons life here,
into their earthly life.
The bearer of the spiritual gift of healing has the authority install
in a sick person a glimpse of the wonder and
compassion of God in heaven and His infinite care for us. this vision
enables them realize the joy and wonder of Gods diversity here on
Mother Earth, to help them see their illness as against the cause of
Christ to bring redemption to all pathologies here on Earth. This
realization of compassion of God the Father and His Compassion on us
gives the life and courage to the sick person and they get
well.
When they the sick see how God is manifest in all things here on Earth
and has forgiven and paid for all our sins and pathologies here on
Earth they are obliged to respond. The sick person when offered with
this realization that they the direct lifeline to the source of all
life and restoration, takes it. They see a new reality of God as One
god in heaven also residing in his creation here on earth. They see the
uniqueness of their own creation as One with the God in Heaven. They
see the Spirit of the infinite God caring for their own unique
individuality. Enough of a sense of caring to embed each fingerprint of
ours in a different fashion.
In accordance with the divine order of Gods creation the sick person
finds again the spice of life, the hope, and the courage to become well
again. Like how God sent his Son to restore order to a damaged world in
the objective physical sense, this gift allows for the outworking of
Spirit in the physical pathology of all creation; weather observable by
science, or in the inner most parts of our being. Weather the gift of
healing occurs through the actions of a surgeon or through faith and
prayer the outcome is the same. Wherever there is true healing and life
the source of that life giving force is always the same.
Those with the gift of healing have enough of an understanding of, and
faith in, the super-natural (and also the super and the natural) In his
divine power and in his creation - (in you) to restore you.

let us die in the desert? There's no water out here, and we can't stand
this awful food!" 6Then the LORD sent poisonous snakes that bit and
killed many of them.

admitted, " It was wrong of us to insult you and the LORD. Now please
ask him to make these snakes go away."
Moses prayed, 8and the LORD answered, " Make a
snake out of bronze and place it on top of a pole. Anyone who gets
bitten can look at the snake and won't die."

who looked at the bronze snake lived, even though they had been bitten
