He asks: Does he believe the OPC that the faith in the power sanador of God in all the areas of the life in this world is an applicable today to those whom we believe that one has given us authority by means of Jesus to do it?

Answer: The answer is "Yes". But we must clarify that there is many confusion with regard to the way of understanding this with regard to the prayer and the health, for which we need to clarify it. Pablo the big Apostle still did not receive health although it was requested God in three occasions (2 Corinthian ones 12:8). This nothing had to do with that did not have enough faith, which not even believed in the God power to recover. Let's not lose of sight that not always the Gentleman answers that "yes" to our prayers. In this case the answer to Pablo was in the denial. Pablo had to learn that in the middle of the illness or the diabolical attacks, the God's grace is still sufficient.

Another error is to think that we today can hope to do everything what the apostles of Jesus did, as it is registered in the New Testament. In two occasions, at least, Pedro and Pablo resuscitated dead persons (Facts 9:36-42 and 20:9-10). We do not have believable resurrections records how are you apart from the registered ones in the Bible. The New Testament refers to these facts like “signs of the apostles” (2 Corinthian ones 12:12). There were miracles and supernatural signs that were done in this context “by the hand of the apostles” (Facts 5:12). To wait for the repetition of these things is like hoping that another virgin should conceive and of to light how Maria did it.

This does not mean, nevertheless, that God does not recover. He does it. The church has clear instructions: “Is patient some between you? Call the elders of the church, and pray for him, ungiéndole with oil in the name of the Gentleman.” (Santiago 5:14). Let's notice that there is an action corporately “the elders”, not necessary none in particular. The problem that we have today is that we have "sanadores" free and independent, that they submit neither to anything nor to anybody, and that they use his supposed Ministries of Health and miracles (that were corresponding exclusively to the apostles) to derive reputation, authority and fortune. As someone said: "God keeps on being sovereign, and can speak to us even by means of a mule, but no church invites to a mule to preach every Sunday.”
