"Elias with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus" - Praying, Spiritual Power, and the God's Interference

Praying, Spiritual Power, and the God's Interference 

It is well known that Christ Jesus had power of healing.  And when He sent his disciples to the world, He gave this power to them.

If you believe in the Bible, you should also believe that Christ Jesus had the power of healing.  The modern medical science should focus on this issue.  What is the power specifically?

Some people who encountered a near-death-experience are said to have obtained this power.  For example, such a man concentrate his mind to wish in his heart that a sick man would be healed.  Then he feels a kind of power flowing into the body of the sick man through him from the universe.  He can be sure that the sick man will be healed.  In other words, they do not use special medicine or medical equipment but only their minds or spirits. 

So, what did Christ Jesus give to His disciples when He sent them to heal the sick?  It must be spiritual power of the kind acquired by those who encountered a near-death-experience.

It is also said that even if a man becomes fatally ill but others pray in their minds for his recovery, his conditions will be improved and his life will be saved.  The state of praying must invoke spiritual power to heal others.  Indeed, Christ Jesus encouraged people to pray so that they could receive mercy and blessing from the God.  In other words, as praying invokes spiritual power, a man can communicate with the God who is also the Spirit according to Christ Jesus.  

However, some men claim that they cannot trust in the God, since when they were suffering in pain and praying to the God for help, the God kept silent.  In this case, we should think that his suffering is part of a large plan, so that he can be only spiritually saved when he understands the truth at the big picture as planned by the God.  Any way, at worst, even if he dies, he will surely live in the spirit world or Heaven.  However, if he has strong spiritual power to join the God's plan, his prayer must be heard by the God.      

In this context, the God's plan to allow for the crucifixion of Christ Jesus must have been so great that even Christ Jesus had to die on the cross while He must have been praying to the God for his salvation from the crucifixion.  However, we should remember that Christ Jesus was revived to live in the spirit world after the death on the cross.  And, mostly due to His death on the cross, Christianity was generated and has survived these 2000 years, saving more than billions of people in this world.

Mark 9, King James Version
2 And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them.
3 And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them.
4 And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus.
5 And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
6 For he wist not what to say; for they were sore afraid.
7 And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
