Matthew 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
Over the years, a phenomenon of faith healing has all but engulfed Christianity, and because scriptural laws on health are being disregarded for the most part the services of these professed miracle workers have become all the more popular and in demand. As with any violation of physical laws, there will be consequences that would follow, and rather than make the needed changes, some turn to a quick fix from the multitude of faith healers that have now overspread the land.
But the question is, could it be that there are fake healers, as well as genuine faith healers? The Bible alone will clear up this issue once and for all, so that those who may be sincere-hearted would be able to clearly distinguish between the true and the false, and thus, not fall a prey to the devices of devils. To be clear, a fake healer is one who is not sent by or from God, and through whom the devil works to deceive souls.
This does not necessarily mean that every miracle they do will be fake; it just means that the source of their healing is a counterfeit to that which comes from God. This is an important point because some persons have the tendency to write off all miracles done by false prophets as being spurious. There will be times when real healing might occur through these agents but that does not make their work more authentic.
Matthew 24:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
