Why can't people today, heal as Christ instructed the disciples to do? I am not sure what I think of these so called healers you see on television? Was this gift only for the Kingdom period and not for us during the Grace age. I know God can heal through our prayer.  I look forward to your response.

The gift of healing is a very visibly miraculous gift. In  scripture we see it being given on a very limited basis. There are some Old  Testament prophets that had that ability, and in the New Testament we find  Jesus healing and the apostles also. With that said, it is apparent  that this is not something that was widespread. God is very stingy it seems in  giving fallen man miraculous powers. I would think this would be indicative of  wisdom on His part.  I heard a preacher say once that if he had the gift of  healing he would be working the wards of the terminally ill at hospitals 16  hours a day, 7 days a week until his body gave out. But he put one caveat  with it....."if I was an honest man." In other words, if he was an honest man  he would do this.

As far as I know, there is not one television healer that can produce a medically verified instance of healing. In fact, on multiple occasions these television celebrities have been shown to be out and out frauds. Benny Hinn is a very prominent example. A network TV documentary was recently run on Benny Hinn showing that when he travels he stays in hotel rooms costing upwards of $10,000 a night. When interviewed recently and asked if he really healed people he said: "well, I give them hope." Hope yes, but a false hope. In the final analysis, I believe that all television healers are frauds. They may be sincerely self-deceived, but fraudulent nonetheless. These folks might want to go back and read Matthew 7:21-23 [21] Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. [22] Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? [23] And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
See All....

This point is further amplified in the fact that many modern faith healers claim those who do not receive healing from them did not have enough faith. Although Jesus said to the woman with an issue of blood in Mark 5:25-34 [25] And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years, [26] And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse, [27] When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment. [28] For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole. [29] And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague. [30] And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes? [31] And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? [32] And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing. [33] But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth. [34] And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.
See All... "thy faith hath made thee whole," He often healed the faithless and on occasion did not even receive a thank you (Luke 17:12-17 [12] And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off: [13] And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. [14] And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed. [15] And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God, [16] And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan. [17] And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?
See All...). The fact that TV healers claim your faith is a central issue to their ability to heal is indicative of their lack of credibility. In fact, the sign nature of the gift in scripture was to give faith, not require it. This ties in with your point about the age we are in determining gift availability. I believe that has a great deal to do with it. The Bible says explicitly that gifts were given during the apostolic ministry as a sign (1 Corinthians 14:22Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe.
See All...). However, the giving of gifts probably has less to do with the age, and more to do with the beginning or ending of an age, but age related nonetheless.

Another side issue that bears mentioning is the strong desire people have today for physical healing. Is that really spiritual? I don't want to sound overly pious here, for I am just a man and understand what it means to cling to life here on earth. But the fact of the matter is that some folks see God's healing in a very limited way that only involves the flesh in this world. But our faith tells us that God promises a miraculous healing that will last an eternity.....the redemption and resurrection of our bodies. This is our blessed hope. We are promised a glorified body similar to that of our Lord Jesus. Why do you hear so little about this today? Why do you hear little about folks that do not fear death as Paul (Philippians 1:21
See All...)?
