A special impartation of faith that is beyond one's normal capacity, given to accomplish a specific task in the Body of Christ. There are several kinds of healing, among them physical, emotional, and other inner healings. Here we see that each genuine Gift of the Holy Spirit can be ministered in a variety of ways. We do not need to copy cat the way someone else does it. We can find freedom in our own expression of a gift, provided it does not cause offense to others.
