Healing Miracles of the Bible Frederick Osborn

Healing and miracles continue to be the cause of friction in the body of believers today. Pentecostals and the proponents of the new prophetic movements birthed during the charismatic revivals of the late 20th century are on one side. On the other side are the opponents of anything that borders on the charismatic. Most Christians live in a confused middle ground. Both sides of this argument claim biblical authority for their beliefs. Charismatics often disparage non-charismatics for having knowledge without power; while non-charismatics vilify charismatics for exercising supernatural power without biblical knowledge. Somewhere, there needs to be a meeting point between the factions if our Lord's prayer for unity among all believers is to be answered anytime soon. It is only by having a better understanding of this gift from the Lord to His body by the Holy Spirit, that those who believe the healing, signs, and wonders are for today and those with the opposing views will see the truth revealed in the Scriptures and live in unity as one body as the Lord intends.
