Elijah was a man of like nature with ourselves and he prayed fervently that it might not rain, and for three years and six months it did not rain on the earth. Then he prayed again and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought fort its fruit. But I stressed that the New Testament does not talk about THE gift of healing. Nor does it talk about people in the church who are known as healers. In other words, you might find yourself drawn to pray for one person with remarkable, expectant faith and see that person healed, but then pray for others and not experience that same gift.
Love is the main thing.
Gifts without love are deadly. But love plus gifts is the Biblical ideal. We are simply to send for the elders, whose task is to pray, not to effect the healing by virtue of some personal gift. Indeed, James goes out of his way to say that if a sick person is raised up this will be by the power of the Lord working in answer to prayer, not by any power channelled through the elders. Then this pastor attacks the ministry of John Wimber on the basis of James 5.
