Are faith healers real? Would you go see one?

ive seen this done and the person had a fake thumb tip with blood and other goodies in it the only people giving testamonials are the ones getting a cut $$$$ from the scam artist preforming them. i put them in the same league as some of those t.v. preachers that steal your money so they can have million in their bank accounts and build a gigantic shopping mall for GOD.

My mother had brought me to one faith healer when I was just a child until my teen years because I was so sickly at that time. The faith healer dis not ask for money but he just laid his hand upon me and gave me water to drink as his way of treating his "patients." But I was not really healed, in fact, my health became even worse but thanks be to God who healed me completely. Some of them, who were formerly practised faith healing before they became Christians admitted they had worshipped the devil that gave them power to cure. As for the lessons I have learned, I would rather see a doctor than be treated by someone whom I do not know and if the doctor has given up hope for recovery, I would rather pray to God and ask for His mercy than go to the fake healers.

it has been amply proven that will power can do wonders. there certainly are some people who can motivate you and boost your will power. they don't heal you but motivate you to feel better and positive. but such people are very rare and fake practices have become very common. to be on the safe side one should not get entrapped by such 'healers'. i would certainly prefer a doctor and as an alternative i prefer alternate medicine like homeopathy, Ayurveda and yoga. i might give such healers a try but only if recommended by a credible and trusted person.

Although I'm a Christian, I don't really believe in faith healers. I've seen a Studio 23 documentary before, exposing the lie behind this kind of scheme. I can't believe they're using the name of Christianity for their unacceptable acts. They're basically destroying Christianity through this. In this kind of situation, I rather consult a doctor.

Faith healers are real and their claims of power to heal depend on one's belief. I would considered faith healers as an option if I strongly believe that I'll be healed. Every healers' ability to heal depends on the faith of the person being healed. People are cured mainly through the effects of their beliefs on what can cure them. The patient's response to any healing approach is purely determined by his beliefs. His system would easily react if his mind accepts and incorporate an approach of healing as the one that can totally cure him.

I think that when you are that close to dying, anything is an option. I would probably resort to these after nothing else worked. Mostly out of my instint for self preservation. No one wants to die, I hope, and out of fear of the alternative, why not try some unorthodox methods.

Hi friend Though most of the people do not believe on the subject but there few people who really believe on faith healers and in my life I have seen few expert who are doing faith healing works. When peoples have no other option they rely on such faith healers sometimes it works it may be coincidence, but one thing is sure to believe that there is some supernatural power. Partially I believe on faith healers. pkc3000

I don't believe in faith healers who perform operations with their bare hands.. they are fake. but there are cases wherein a terminally ill got cured which buffled their doctors, these can't be explained by science and those who got cured claimed that they are healed by prayers and their faith in God. If doctors can't explained it, who am I to question it. What science tells us is that our brain is the ultimate healing machine, that is if only we can tap those energy and channel it to "sick" parts of our body. to me maybe through their faith and belief that those energy was harness to the fullest and since man cannot explain it, he calls it a miracle, that he is cured by his faith. my two cents

I would rather see a doctor if I or any member of my family is sick. I have seen a faith healer, though. My mother in law took me to a faith healer once, when my blood pressure would shoot up for no reason and I would jump off my bed every night because of DOB ( difficulty of breathing). She told me someone might have caused this, like some kind of witchcraft. Hehe... The old man was holding a black stone which he put on each of my fingers. I couldn't understand why I got hurt when he didn't even apply pressure. Then, he applied a piece of paper with oil on my forehead. Naturally, the oil on the paper would make a form. I thought I saw a figure of a human. Hehe...He gave me something to apply on my forehead, a bottle of not so pleasant oil. I continued to take the medications prescribed by my doctor. I got well in no time. It was anxiety.

Odd man out again, but here goes.. The last time Liz and I went back (up)home to Cincinnati my dad asked Liz how I was doing health wise and how often I went to the doctor. Without missing a beat she told him I rely on doctor Jesus. He wasn't happy with that answer.. Now, insofar as your question, yes I do believe in faith healing, tho not faith healers. As I believe the healers, be they of faith or the AMA are the avenues thru which Jesus works. On a personal level, I stopped going to doctors when they stopped asking me how I was feeling and started asking how I was gonna pay..I figured they'd lost sight of their position within the system when they put their income ahead of my health. It seems too much like the exploitation of ill people rather than concern over health issues..Which makes them quite comparable to the fake faith healers who are only scamming for the money..Enjoy!

I don't really know either but it's always nice for me to hear stories from real people that they have indeed been healed. I think when all else fail, people try to resort to these faith healings and I guess the reason why these patients are healed is also their strong faith. With them believing they are gonna be healed, they are truly healed without really any effort or help from the supposed healers. I wouldn't call it a miracle, just plain faith...and I believe in that. :D

While I do believe in miracles I think they are done by prayers, not televangelists like Benny Hinn. Time an time again it's proven to be a scam, an sometimes it's even a mild from of hypnosis, basically they convince the person they are ok, long enough where will be ok for a time. You can do the same thing to yourself keep telling yourself you don't feel pain an eventually you either won't or the pain won't nearly be as bad, a lot of people dwell on pain so much they often make pain feel worse than it really is. Here's an example you ever busted your head open or cut something up there, basically cut yourself up kinda bad maybe need stitch's, an you didn't even realize it, then all of a sudden you look an see blood, an you freak out, soon as you notice then you feel the pain, before when you didn't notice you didn't even realize you had been injured. Or maybe you get a tick or mosquito on you an you don't even notice but as soon as you do, your like OOWWW that hurts. Like I said a lot of pain is in your mind not all but more than you think, an these scam artists use that to their advantage. Like I said I believe in miracles an prayers, not faith healers, anyone that could truly faith heal would not boast about it believe me.

I believe that visit a doctor in good faith is a better option. Medicine provides assistance to the body's natural ability to recover. Faith healers don't actually have any ability to heal anyone. They just boots up the mental capacity to fight against disease and sickness. I believe your body and mind are capable of healing themselves so one can mediate and take medicine at the same time to recover.

No To tell you the Truth These Faith healers are nothing but a Farce. They use chicken bones and fake blood to make it look like they are really inside of you when they are not. Do not waste your money on these lies they are not real and could not lead to anything good

I don't understand whom are you reffering to faith healers. Your quote itself answers your question - Faith healers - you are healed when you have faith and belief. All successful things in this earth is done with only faith and belief. When one believes in god you naturally inculcate a habit of faith and belief. I am a Reiki healer and i know very well how much one can heal with natural energy. One should also have faith in the doctor for a good and speedy recovery. Just go with a doubt in mind if the doctor can cure the ailment you will see that there will be no improvemnt in your condiiton in spite of the best treatment and medications. The ultimate decision is yours whether you go to a faith healer or a doctor. But do not criticize or presume things just because you do not know much about them. Happy mylotting.

Faith healers are real and their claims of power to heal depend on one's belief. I would considered faith healers as an option if I strongly believe that I'll be healed.

I always do not understand why people opt to go to faith healers rather than to doctors. I have one office mate who is like that. Her mother was taken to a faith healer and together with her siblings, all relied on the faith healer for her mother's recovery but she did not live long enough. I won't allow a chance to bring any of my family to faith healers. I have more trust on modern medicine and science.
