show me a man today who has the gifts that the Apostle had, to heal ALL that came to them
Then perhaps they can heal my wife?
Hi brother in Christ,
We can offer are prayers, a condolence as a way of suffering with you. But only God can heal.
The apostles (sent ones) do not contain the gift to heal .God does not heal with human hands as if needed something from the clay he is forming Christ in.
Like all believers as prophets, apostles, (sent ones). In the end of the matter we have the treasure of His authority, as Christ in these earthen(clay) bodies of death. But the authority/power is not of us any more than when he put His word on Balaam’s’ donkey mouth and restrained the madness of that false prophet. .
2Corinthians 4:7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
It’s the error that Catholic make with their idea of apostolic succession of men. They in effect assign them as the authority that performs the miracle that rises above the true authority the word of God.... making it to no effect so that they can keep the oral tradition of their fathers. And puff up their fathers above the fathers of any other denomination. The parable below becomes useless in their hand.
1Co 4:6 And these things, brethren, I have in a figure (parable) transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to
think of men "above that which is written", that no one of you be puffed up for one against another.
We can see that kind of upside down faith that comes be having the faith that comes from hearing God rather in respect to measuring their own kind according to the fathers that they call the faith of the fathers. it ends up as blasphemy ,attributing the works of God to men .Therefore making gods in the likeness of men that they do have before our living God.
In doing so violate the first commandment. We are not to have the unseen faith of Christ in respect to that seen .it was the cause of the fall in the beginning according to the father of of lies, Satan, as the same lie he is still trying to work in the hearts of men.
It gives rise to the word patron saints which is needed in their necromancy doctrines .
And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, being a cripple from his mother's womb, who
never had walked: The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed,Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped and walked.And “when the people
saw (
the lust of the eye not wlking by faith the useen.) what Paul had done”, they lifted up their voices, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The
gods are come down to us in the “likeness of men”.And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul,
Mercurius, because he was the "chief speaker".Then the priest of Jupiter, which was before their city, brought oxen and garlands unto the gates, and would have done sacrifice with the people. Act 14:8
