People can be healed by simply praying in faith, standing on the healing scriptures, or having another Christian pray for them. Also, the Word of God says to ask the elders of the Church to anoint and pray for your healing. One of the gifts of the Spirit is called the 'Gifts' of Healing. Some people are blessed with this gift, and usually other Gifts of the Spirit. The nine Gifts of the Spirit are found in I Corinthians 12:7-11: (1) The Word of Wisdom, (2) Word of Knowledge, (3) Discerning of spirits, (4) Faith, (5) Gifts of Healing, (6) Miracles, (7) Prophecy, (8) Tongues, (9) Interpretation. Bro. W.V. Grant is one pastor who has the Gifts of Healing ministry, as well as the gifts of discernment plus other gifts. Bro. Branham had these same gifts of healing and discernment, and he placed his mantle on Bro. Grant just before he died. Bro.Branham told the person he was about to pray for their names, sometimes addresses and the names of their doctors, and other facts about their sickness. Bro. Grant also ministers this way with many being saved in every meeting. This builds their faith to know that God is going to heal them if He can reveal things about them to the one who prays for their healing. The following testimony is about major healings I personally received in Bro. Grant's ministry. (In one meeting a few years ago, Bro. Grant also told me two weeks before my birthday that one of my sons would be in church with me by my birthday. This son had been out of church for years, but God did what He said through Bro. Grant's prophecy. This son, Greg, was not only in church by my birthday, but like the prodigal son he also had returned to the Lord and is still in church serving God today.)
- After a doctor made an x-ray of my neck, I was told that the first three bones in my neck were fused together and had probably been fused together since my birth. After Bro. Grant prayed for my neck, all the 'never-ending' pain left. I went back to my doctor who took another x-ray. When comparing the x-rays, he just sat down and said three times he was impressed because the bones were no longer fused. (This would also involve the Gift of Miracles, since a creative miracle took place.)
- Another time, a doctor had told me my immune system was not functioning. I tried everything to build my immune system back, but nothing worked. I continued to get weaker and weaker and even my eyesight began to fail (below 50/50 even with glasses on). I knew I was in the throes of a slow death - I was growing weaker everyday. Then I went to another W.V. Grant meeting. He called me out and said, "You can't see me too good." I shook my head yes. Then he said, "I see the cells in your body that are deteriorating and not being replaced." Then he touched my forehead with only one finger. I felt like something like a bolt of lightning go from the top of my head down to my feet. I knew I was healed because my eyesight went back to normal, and I felt stronger immediately. That was a few years ago, and I am still healed. (This could even fall under the Miracle category also.)
- Wanda Johnson, my 73-year-old widow friend had tests done by her doctor. His Report said she needed double bypass heart surgery. He told her if she made it through the surgery her body would be swollen three times her size, and she would be the ventilator and also on dialysis for a long time. Because of prayer she breezed through the surgery, but she still had a BBB (blockage) in her heart. After Bro. Grant prayer for her, she has had no problems with her heart, and she is now 81 years old. (wvgrant.com)
