From time to time someone invariably asks, "Do you believe God heals people today?" Our reply is: Yes, of course, but in this day and age in which we live the healing always come in answer to prayer, and prayer alone! Contrast this with the time when men were gifted by God with the power to lay hands on people and heal them in His name during the apostolic age. And in this lies an all-important principle: these powers and gifts are no longer given to men. They were terminated when Israel, because of unbelief, were set aside at the close of the Acts period. Any person who claims to have such powers today is deceived, and may be engaged in a counterfeit ministry.
