Are only certain believers supposed to heal?
If we all as believers can lay hands on the sick as Jesus told us to do, why did Paul say in 1 Corinthians 12: "there are diversities of gifts... to another the gifts of healings..." It almost sounds like he's saying it is to some and not to all to be able to do the things Jesus did, even though Jesus said if we believe, we will do all these things and even greater when He goes to the Father.
Answer:
Let me start with this statement. The words of Jesus are the Supreme Court of the universe. By that I mean, what Jesus says is the golden rule over everything.
Jesus said in Mark 16:17-18, "These signs will accompany those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; if they drink any deadly thing, it will not hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”
This Scripture, which is a statement made by Jesus, is clear. BELIEVERS are told to lay hands on the sick. Jesus did not say certain people who are given special gifts. Nor, did He say that only certain sick people would recover (be healed from their infirmities).
Every believer was told by Jesus to lay hands on the sick and the sick shall recover.
