Dear reader,

What is healing?

It is an act of faith that brings life to the soul or body through prayer, the laying on of hands, or hearing the right word of Christ Jesus. This act of faith brings spiritual life and physical health to the believer where it was lacking. Remember, many who were healed of their physical ailments were also healed in their souls.

So, why did Allah's command to Jibril to pray for the healing of His Prophet Muhammad from an illness caused by eating poison not work?

Thus, healing is not performed by any person but by God. Even specialist doctors do not heal; they only provide treatment. The healer is God. Only the servants of God act as a bridge or instrument to bring about the healing released by the Lord to the needy person.

LET'S NOW READ ABOUT ALLAH AND JIBRIL IN THEIR ATTEMPT TO HEAL MUHAMMAD:

Ibn Sa'd, Page 265:

Aisha, the wife of the Prophet Muhammad, used to say, "When the Prophet of Allah was ill, Jibril would pray for Muhammad to Allah by saying these words: 'In the name of Allah, may He heal you from every illness and pain and from all those who are evil against you and those who wish you harm. You will be healed.'"

Did the name of Allah heal Muhammad? Let's read the Sahih hadith as brought by Al Bukhari:

MUHAMMAD'S RESPONSE AFTER BEING PRAYED FOR HEALING BY ALLAH/JIBRIL:

Bukhari's Hadith 5.713:

Narrated by 'Aisha:
The Prophet Muhammad, when he was ill and taken by death, used to say, "O Aisha, I still feel severe pain from the poisoned food I ate at Khaibar, and now I feel as if my aorta is being cut from that poison I ate."

Can God pray and fail? Why did the healing prayers of Allah and Jibril for Muhammad not work?

NOW LET'S READ ABOUT JESUS IN THE BIBLE, DID HE HEAL PEOPLE?

“When Jesus came into Peter's house, he saw Peter’s mother-in-law lying in bed with a fever. He touched her hand, and the fever left her; and she got up and began to wait on him.” Matthew 8:14-15

The Bible does not tell us that Jesus prayed for this woman; instead, we see that Jesus touched her hand, and the fever left her. Just a touch from a man of God is sufficient medicine, even if he does not pray because the anointing is within him. Even Peter could heal the sick with his shadow alone due to the anointing (Acts 5:15).

THE IMPORTANCE OF PUTTING YOUR FAITH IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST

“Now Peter and John were going up to the temple at the time of prayer—at three in the afternoon. Now a man who was lame from birth was being carried to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he was put every day to beg from those going into the temple courts. When he saw Peter and John about to enter, he asked them for money. Peter looked straight at him, as did John. Then Peter said, 'Look at us!' So the man gave them his attention, expecting to get something from them. Then Peter said, 'Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.' Taking him by the right hand, he helped him up, and instantly the man’s feet and ankles became strong. He jumped to his feet and began to walk.” (Acts 3:1-8)

If you follow the story of this healed crippled man, you will see that he had been that way from birth and was over forty years old when he was healed (Acts 4:22).

What was the secret of this miracle? Did this crippled man get healed by the power of Peter and John or by the power of the name of Jesus Christ?

I ask these questions because many people, when they see someone being used by God in healing, put their faith in that person instead of putting their faith in the name of Jesus Christ.

And that’s what happened when this crippled man was healed; the people in the temple were amazed at Peter and John as if the crippled man had been healed by their power, which was not true. When Peter saw this, he decided to explain the truth to the people; he said:

“While the man held on to Peter and John, all the people were astonished and came running to them in the place called Solomon’s Colonnade. When Peter saw this, he said to them: ‘Fellow Israelites, why does this surprise you? Why do you stare at us as if by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk?’” (Acts 3:11-12).

Peter was doing something important here by helping to change the people's mindset that the power to heal this man was from Peter and John, which was not true. If this power was not theirs, what was the secret of this miracle? Peter continued to say:

“The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus... By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know was made strong. It is Jesus’ name and the faith that comes through him that has completely healed him, as you can all see.” (Acts 3:13-16).

Consider these words of Peter: "By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know was made strong." Peter and John put their faith in the name of Jesus Christ. They were confident in their hearts that the secret of miracles lies in the name of Jesus Christ—that's why when they met this crippled man, they commanded him to walk in that name!

Put your faith in the name of Jesus Christ if you want to see the signs and miracles of Jesus Christ in your life and those you minister to. Knowing this, the first disciples of Jesus Christ, when they were forbidden to "speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus" by the high priest Annas, they prayed, saying: "...Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness. Stretch out your hand to heal and perform signs and wonders through the name of your holy servant Jesus." (Acts 4:18, 29-31)

It is important to tell and remind people of the importance of putting their faith in the name of Jesus Christ if they want to see the hand of the Lord healing, performing signs, and miracles.
