We Are All Called To Heal — It is Part of the Great Commission

Lay hands on the sick

Mark 16:15–18Mark 16:15–18
Eng­lish: King James Ver­sion (1611) — KJV
15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every crea­ture. ¹⁶ He that believeth and is bap­tized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. ¹⁷ And these signs shall fol­low them that believe; In my name shall they cast out dev­ils; they shall speak with new tongues; ¹⁸ They shall take up ser­pents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.  

WP-Bible plu­gin And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every crea­ture. {16} “He who believes and is bap­tized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be con­demned. {17–18} “And these signs will fol­low those who believe: In My name they… will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

That means, not only sal­va­tion, but deliv­er­ance and heal­ing is part of the whole accord­ing to the Word of God.

Acts 1:8Acts 1:8
Eng­lish: King James Ver­sion (1611) — KJV
8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be wit­nesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the utter­most part of the earth. power…: or, the power of the Holy Ghost com­ing upon you  

WP-Bible plu­gin “But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be wit­nesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

As they went forth in the power of His name, many mir­a­cles and heal­ing were accom­plished by these dis­ci­ples, who had fol­lowed Jesus. Just as heal­ing was a inte­gral part of Jesus’ min­istry it was now to be an inte­gral part of their min­istry.  We are all called and have the author­ity to heal the sick.
