You may hear stories about the denominations that preach about the faith teaching, and I have heard preachers dispute it and I have heard preachers teach it.  One of the beliefs of the faith teaching is the power of healing.  I used to be the kind of person who believed in the faith teaching, now I wouldn’t say I’m against it, but I am sceptical about those who preach it.  They say pray the prayer of faith and you will be healed and I believe this to be so.  But my question is why are so many not being healed.  If the day of Pentecost has come and is now, why are so many sick and dieing among us?  If God is a God who heals shouldn’t they be healed? 

I have been to churches where I knew people who were sick and they were prayed for and then they were healed and I know it was supernatural.  I also know people who were prayed for who were sick and they remained sick. What is the difference?   Is prayer measured differently for different people? 

I am beginning to wonder if the prayer of faith only works when God gets credit.  People pray in the name of Faith, but to me they forget the name of Christ. Who gets credit if we pray and give credit to a teaching?  Its not Jesus.  If you look up the word gospel in the dictionary, one of the definitions is to teach the teachings of Jesus.  If every time someone who prayed for another to be healed became healed,  woulden’t the one who was praying feel prideful over time?  It seems to me every time Jesus healed, He had a crowd, so he would be sure God would receive glory and he wasn’t in a place where people already believed.
