Does God Still Heal Today?
Healing is not a thing of the past.
From the days of the Apostles to revivals in Africa, America, and around the world, the healing anointing has remained a visible manifestation of God's compassion.
“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” — Hebrews 13:8
Whether in the tent revivals of A.A. Allen, the crusades of Benny Hinn, or the mountain-top miracles under Apostle Joseph Ayo Babalola, God continues to heal — and He wants to do it through you.
What Is the Healing
Anointing?
The healing anointing is the power of the Holy
Spirit that brings healing to physical, emotional, or mental
conditions. It is:
- Supernatural (not medical or emotional)
- Tangible and transferable (Acts 19:11–12)
- Christ-centered and God-glorifying
“…and the power of the Lord was present to heal them.” —
Luke 5:17
Biblical and
Historical Proofs of the Healing Anointing
Jesus Christ — The
Standard
“Power came out from Him and healed them all.” –
Luke 6:19
Jesus operated in healing everywhere He went. This was the prototype for
all Spirit-filled believers.
Peter’s Shadow and
Paul’s Cloths
Acts 5:15, Acts 19:11–12
God used natural elements as points of contact for
supernatural healing.
Fathers of Faith Who
Walked in Healing Power
1. Apostle Joseph Ayo Babalola
(Nigeria)
The late Apostle Babalola, founder of the Christ
Apostolic Church (CAC), was used mightily by God. Testimonies include:
- Dead raised during open-air crusades
- Cripples healed instantly
- Demons cast out en masse through spoken word
He often fasted for 40–90 days, and mountains
like Oke Ooye became healing revival centers through his ministry.
2. Kathryn Kuhlman (USA)
Known for her gentle voice and strong anointing,
she conducted healing meetings in which hundreds were healed without her even
laying hands.
Her statement:
“I believe in miracles… because I believe in God.”
3. Benny Hinn (Global)
A spiritual successor of Kuhlman, Benny Hinn conducted
crusades with tangible healing anointing. People felt fire, electricity, or
warmth when healed — clear signs of the presence of the Holy Spirit.
4. A.A. Allen & William Branham
In the mid-1900s, these revivalists led healing
tent meetings with miracles such as:
- Blind eyes opened
- Cancer vanished
- Deaf ears unstopped
Their ministries taught us how faith, fasting, and
prayer activate healing power.
5. Pastor Chris Oyakhilome (Nigeria)
Today’s generation has also seen men like Pastor Chris
conduct global healing services. Many testify of miracles through Healing
Streams Live and the Healing School.
How the Healing
Anointing Works
1. It Is Holy
Spirit-Driven
“God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and
power…” — Acts 10:38
No man heals by himself. Healing flows from intimacy with
God.
2. It Requires
Faith
“Your faith has made you whole.” —
Mark 5:34
Without expectation, even Jesus could not do mighty works in Nazareth (Mark
6:5–6).
3. It Responds
to Hunger and Obedience
The anointing grows stronger in those who consecrate
themselves, just like Apostle Babalola and John G. Lake.
How to Receive the
Healing Anointing
- Immerse in the Word: Healing Scriptures build faith
(Romans 10:17)
- Fast and Pray: Fasting sharpens spiritual
sensitivity (Isaiah 58)
- Stay in God’s Presence: Worship creates an atmosphere
for anointing
- Follow Fathers of Faith: Listen to their teachings,
study their lives (Hebrews 13:7)
- Honor the Anointing: Anointing you don’t respect,
you can’t receive
How to Minister the
Healing Anointing
- Lay Hands on the Sick (Mark 16:18)
- Use Anointed Cloths or Objects (Acts
19:11–12)
- Speak the Word with Authority
- Maintain a Pure Vessel: Sin blocks the flow
- Practice Boldness: God confirms bold declarations
(Acts 4:29–30)

FAQs About the
Healing Anointing
Q: Can every believer walk in healing power?
Yes. Jesus said believers will lay hands on the sick (Mark 16:17–18). It’s not
limited to preachers.
Q: Is fasting necessary to walk in the anointing?
Fasting is not the power, but it’s a tool that increases sensitivity and
dependence on God.
Q: How can I grow in healing grace?
Stay in the Word, obey instantly, walk in humility, and stay connected to other
carriers of the anointing.
Q: Why do some people not get healed?
It can be due to lack of faith, bitterness, spiritual blocks, or sometimes
God’s timing and sovereignty.
Q: Can the anointing leave a person?
Yes — if the person lives in disobedience, pride, or compromise (see Saul and
Samson).
Final Thoughts: God
Still Heals Today
You don’t need a stage or a microphone to heal the sick.
You only need:
- Faith
- Obedience
- Yieldedness to the Holy Spirit
The same Jesus who healed in Jerusalem is healing today —
in Lagos, London, or Los Angeles.
Let God use you.
You are anointed.
