Performing Miracles And Healing Quotes

“In many churches today, caution is much more valued in believers than boldness for Christ. Caution in matters of healing and miracles is often seen as wise and boldness is seen as shallow and presumptive. Of course, Christ has nothing to say about presumption, and has given a great deal of encouragement for bold faith.”

“Peter also knew that healing was not being done any other way than through Jesus Christ. He said to the lame man, “In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene--walk!” The healing was not done because Peter had any resident power, but because Christ had commissioned Peter to heal. Peter was then able to exercise the same kind of authority Christ did simply because he was doing it in Christ's name. Peter understood that the Father's will was to heal and deliver. Peter had come to understand this as he observed the Savior demonstrating the Father's heart in all matters for three years. He had received instruction and authority to accomplish the same things in Christ's name. Likewise, the Great Commission was given to Peter and the other apostles to instruct and commission those Christians to do these same merciful works through the authority of Jesus Christ's name. In other words, while many believers do not know it, they are already commissioned to do mighty works in the name of Jesus Christ. What they need to know is how to do these works.”

“Then Jesus therefore said to them plainly, "Lazarus is dead, and I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe; but let us go to him."…So when Jesus came, He found that he had already been in the tomb four days. Christ revealed that the disciples should have their faith strengthened by these events.”

“I began to discover that my healing theology of twenty years was not really based on Scripture, but on my erratic healing experiences and what others had taught from their erratic experiences. Because my experiences had matched theirs, I accepted what I heard as being the truth, without serious examination and comparison with Scripture.”
