Question about energy healing and the Christian gift of healing?
Posted in Alternative Healer on 04/16/2009 08:40 am by The Healthy oneI’m just trying to wrap my mind around it. In the bible, Jesus tells his followers that they will be able to heal people with the laying of hands and prayer. It’s really God doing the healing through them. And then there are energy healers (now) who don’t claim to be like, a conduit for god to work through them, but use their own energy and the energy of the patient to do the healing. I’m wondering if there’s a difference in the power of these methods of healing. And I’m wondering how Christians view the non-God approach. It does seem to work. I guess I’m just wondering what the difference is. I don’t know how to verbalize my thoughts. lol. too tired.
I don’t believe God sends delusions and makes the unsaved believe a lie. That doesn’t make sense. He wants everyone to be saved. Plus, God made our bodies and called them good. I Believe he wants us to care for our physical and spiritual bodies, not neglect one part. He wants us to be healthy. And there’s no reason to take what Jesus said and did symbolically. Or rather, ONLY symbolically. He said we would do what he did, and his followers DID heal people. There are Bible verses to back me up on this. I don’t believe it stopped with them.
I think I can understand one thing thanks to one comment down there. Satan does try to imitate God, confuse us, lead us away. He always has. Perhaps somehow he’s imitating the gift God gave us to confuse us into thinking we don’t need God.
I did read something where someone experienced a more powerful healing when they called on God to heal through them rather than just their own energy.
I’ve been visiting lots of websites and browsing books through google and found some good things. Some references to healing in the Jewish culture, and this site: http://areikihealer.tripod.com/christianreiki.html .
