No Spiritual Work Beneficial without Approval of the God
10 And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease. (Matthew 10)
It is spiritual power that Christ Jesus gave to them. It means that spiritual power can defeat Satan and heal the sick. And this power was given to the spirits of His Apostles that were in or above their minds. Therefore, men have surely spirits in or above their minds. This power can work on both the spiritual body Satan and the physical illness of men. It means that spiritual power can work on spiritual entities and physical phenomena.
So, if you believe in Christ Jesus and the Gospels in addition to the God, you have to admit that human spirits can have such power. But most people do not see appearance of such power. The Vatican today recognizes bishops with such power as saints. Indeed, unless guided by Christ Jesus, it might be impossible for a man, or even a bishop, to obtain such power and execute it effectively.
However even today, it has been sometimes reported that those who experienced near-death experiences obtained the ability to cure the sick, although it seems to be very rare that they captured the ability to defeat Satan.
But how do they perform such ability? In most cases, it seems that they pray for the God with a wish that a sick man will be cured and they feel assured that he will be recovered. This praying and healing is performed, of course, through one's mind, since spiritual power is in or above the mind. The near-death experiences seem to have activated their minds or open up the door to their spirts from their minds. Christ Jesus must have worked on the minds of the Apostles so that their minds could directly connect to their souls.
So, the Gospels should be taken as presenting a spiritual story about Christ Jesus. And, the spiritual aspect of Christ Jesus is essential. The Gospels really tell how the spirit of Christ Jesus worked on spiritual phenomena and material phenomena. So, if you are given this spiritual ability, you can also defeat Satan and cure the sick like those Apostles.
There are some people who claim that they, as mediums, can contact spirits of dead men or as persons with supernatural power, can cause supernatural events. There is no denying such a case, but performing such ability without approval of Christ Jesus or the God is dangerous, since there is Satan in the spirit world, too.
In this context, it is dubious that every dead man is happily living in the spirit world or in the other world. Christ Jesus said that evil men should fall down into the hell but poor men could enter into Heaven. Almost all the persons who experienced the near-death experiences said that they had not seen the judgement by the God. Or those who were allowed by the God to see the spirt world saw that evil men spontaneously going to the hell without judgment by the God. Therefore, it is thought that those who had the near-death experiences must have only made a few steps into the spirit world before the judgement by the God for the destiny of Heaven or the hell.
So, performing spiritual power or supernatural power without approval of Christ Jesus or the God or regardless judgment on good or evil or without minding the issue of good and evil is dangerous, although it might be possible, since Satan or evil spirits can interfere with such spiritual work.
Not all the spiritual work or phenomena are sacred or holy, or otherwise beneficial without approval of the God or Christ Jesus.
Mark 6, King James Version
25 And she came in straightway with haste unto the king, and asked, saying, I will that thou give me by and by in a charger the head of John the Baptist.
26 And the king was exceeding sorry; yet for his oath's sake, and for their sakes which sat with him, he would not reject her.
27 And immediately the king sent an executioner, and commanded his head to be brought: and he went and beheaded him in the prison,
28 And brought his head in a charger, and gave it to the damsel: and the damsel gave it to her mother.
29 And when his disciples heard of it, they came and took up his corpse, and laid it in a tomb.
30 And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught.
31 And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.
