People who have terminal illness usually resort to faith healers. And there were cases of being healed because of this. If one of your family members would have hopeless situation because of sickness, would you dare to go to faith healers? Do you believe in them?

I do believe in faith healers. I've watched many programs on them. I also believe that by putting out positive energy during rough times, more positive energy comes back to you in return. If you watch the movie, "The Secret", you'll see that people have been healed just by imagining themselves healed, and believing that they could overcome. By doing this, the universe/God/whomever they pray to, rewarded them.

Hi Stary1, it is actually a book that was converted to a movie, and you can find it on audio book as well. I'm sure it's at your local library. People talk about it a lot over here. It's such an inspirational movie about how the universe gives us back what we put out. The only thing I didn't like so much about it, is that it was based a lot on money and materialistic values. Other than that, it was a very good movie though.

I don't believe in faith healers,simply because I haven't met anyone that's been healed or helped by one,having said that I'll keep an open mind and would not hesitate to seek their help if all resources had been exhausted in curing a terminal illness,that goes without saying as my last resort.....

I believe we can cure our selvse, I got hit hard and because of the law of attraction I find out we can see the end result and cure, as a miracle it doesn't hurt anymore. I believe also cause Jesus Christ said to the blind that got his sight back: "Your faith cured you", He already told us the secret: we can cure ourselves. There are people that just know they will get out and they beat even cancer, there are many cases, even famous ones. Happy day...and MyLotting!

Hi! Faith healers are really real and they can really heal.But eh question is does their power to heal comes from God or Satan? It is very important that we become sensitive to this because with miracles everywhere we can be deceived. I have never gone to a faith healer because I believe God is my ultimate healer,doctors are only instruments of healing and they are blesses with skills.SO be careful if you are planning to go to a faith healer,it might be Satan's trap or God's real miracle.

No i dont believe in faith healers, one reason being that most of them have been found to be fraud.Some pretend to have healed some stranger while the whole scenery was arranged.For the same reason,i wouldnt take my sick family member to a faith healer, i would have them on medication and supplements.

I believe God heals in different ways and in some occasions, healing is made possible by altering the thoughts of a patient ... For there are times when a patients mind gets in the way of the self healing the self. This I think is a God-given feature - that a person's mind be used to heal the self ... What do you think ?

masang...this is a fascinating question which many have tried to answer. I am very open minded about things like this and I am not convinced it has to be by a faith healer. Anyone should be able to heal through faith and having read stories of this, I believe it happens a lot.

I wish I can believe in them , but I have not yet had an opportunity to make believe in faith healers. I have watched many people do it, but I have not yet witnessed someone I know get healed of his problems. I hope the will be a day that I will experience this, but not this time. I'm a Christian who believe God do help me because He has in many ways, but I don't believe there are special people to pray for you in order to get healed

Healing through faith for me is a real thing. I'm a christian you see, so I pretty much believe in it. Faith though, must come from the very person who needs the healing. Even if you are a faith healer, you cannot heal someone who does not have any faith in him.. or her. I would just like to add that although I do believe in faith healing, the truth is that there are some who wants to pretend that they are to take advantage of desperately sick people for their money. That's quite a shame right there. But with discernment, one can easily spot and rebuke those guys. That's all I have to say. This is a really interesting topic that you brought up.
