"whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die" - Healing all Manner of Sickness and all Manner of Disease

Healing all Manner of Sickness and all Manner of Disease

It is well known that the Lord Jesus Christ healed many sick men, but without specific medicines or tools.   

23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people. (Matthew 4)

He did not set a clinic with nurses and other aids.  But he occasionally healed the sick on the spot while travelling here and there.  Indeed, He did not distribute and give money but cured disease of people in addition to preaching the gospel and teaching of the God.

Even today there are some people who can heal the sick without applying modern medical science or medications.  They use their spiritual power, psychic power, or mind's power.  It is well known that such people are working in the U.K., Brazil, the Philippines, etc.  In some parts of Africa, Asia, and Americas, shamans are still performing traditional healing practices.  Such people can be found in Japan, too.     

Typically, some psychics find one day that they have such power in the course of nature on their own, after suffering illness in their bodies, through spiritual vicissitudes or their own efforts to acquire such ability, or hearing a divine voice to give them such ability.  But, they are not given medications or taught how to heal the sick.  Their minds realize or discover how to use their minds or physical energy to heal the sick.  In some cases, they mysteriously acquire the healing ability after near-death experiences.      

Indeed, the Lord Jesus Christ gave such power to His disciples when He sent them to the world for preaching and saving people.

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 4)

According to a Japanese psychic healer, illness is caused by unhappy ancestral spirits or the spirits who carry a grudge against a sick man or his family.  Therefore, to heal the sick man, a special ritual for purification is needed.  A kind of exorcism is sometimes performed by a Japanese monk of the Shingon sect, psychic, faith healer, shaman to drive out such ill spirits from the body of a patient.        

Although medical practices by persons other than medical doctors are forbidden in Japan, such practices in religious acts without medications or medical appliances are overlooked.  So, it is estimated that about one-sixth of the whole Japanese population have experienced alternative therapy every year.

Anyway, this material world is thought to have been generated by spiritual energy of the God in the spirit world.  The spiritual energy can penetrate into this material world especially trough prayers or psychic power like the power of the Lord Jesus Christ.  This spiritual energy can surpass physical or material force in this world.  Accordingly, some saints could perform levitation or miracle healing.  Even persons with supernatural power or the ability to use the spiritual energy, whether conscious or unconscious, can perform various miracles such as spoon bending.

Indeed, after physical death in this world, a dead man should have a healthy and sound body made of spiritual materials in the spirit world.  Even a person with disability should have body integrity in the afterlife.  There should be no sick men in the afterlife or the spirit world.

Therefore, it is natural to cure disease by using the spiritual energy.  So, a man with the ability to invoke the spiritual energy should be able to heal the sick.  And the most reliable and trustworthy way to invoke the spiritual energy is to have faith in the God and pray to the God.  Any person with faith in any god of any religion should be able to perform such miracle healing with a help of its deities, but those with a spiritual help from Christian angels or saints are most reliable and trustworthy.  In addition we have to remind ourselves that even Satan or evil spirits can use spiritual energy.

By reading the Bible and praying to the God or the Lord Jesus Christ each man should get a spiritual help and obtain the ability to use the spiritual energy and cure his disease.  The Bible can be great a medication.

John 11, King James Version
23 Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.
24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.
25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
27 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.
28 And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee.
