Sickness and infirmity is something that afflicts all mankind, even those in the Christian community. We know that God is love and that sickness is never His desire for mankind so what is the truth concerning healing? Many have heard of accounts of where miraculous healings have occurred so we must ask, "Is healing a right that every Chrisitan can "claim" because of the death and sacrafice of Christ," as some teach? Do the followers of Jesus have the authority and right to command healing of all sickness and infirmity whenever they choose to do so in faith? Is healing now simply a matter of having enough faith? In this teaching Dan Gallagher tackles these often asked questions and navigates through this difficult and often misuderstood subject.
