      I've been to Uganda twice and Rwanda once with Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders) . I have seen these preachers driving Mercedes cars with a line of trucks following them everywhere for "security" and their church members giving them their money rather than send their kids to school. The "church" just pushes them to give everything they have and that basically you can buy miracles. It is so sad.

    I worked in psychiatry some 8 years. One learns a lot studying in that specific field. These self appointed healers are in it for the money mostly and they know how to prey on the weak and intellectually challenged. Preying on the weak and on those who are in need, is about the lowest possible crime and should be punishable with severe sentences.

      Actually, the gift of healing is one the gifts of the Spirit Paul talks about in I Corinthians 12 and 14.
      Remember he's instructing the church, not the (12) Apostles.
      Problem is people are claiming to have this gift that have it.
      I have laid hands, a few times on terminally ill people. One with stage 4 cancer, and one with encephalitis,comayoz and not expected to live.
      Both were healed.
      Has everyone I've prayer for been healed? Unfortunately not.
      People were healed by simply walking past Peter's shadow, yet Paul and Timothy who had contact with Peter were not healed.
      People need to stop following and giving offerings to people who have no track record of having the gift of healing

    As an occupational therapist with 15 years experience...the walking miracles are always hard for me. I went to a church that went through a phase like this with a young pastor training yo be an evangelist..even studying under Bennie hinn at one point. The walking miracle..rising from the wheelchair usually are not people like Steve and even 4 men holding Steve up trying to force him to walk does not equate being able to walk...not everyone that uses a wheelchair is unable to walk but a common person wouldn't know that and even if they get up and walk some steps doesn't mean they can walk functionally ... safely or a long distance or that they should walk without an assisted device.

      The time would best spent for these men to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ. Yes, that He died for our sins according to the Scriptures and that He was buried and rose again according to the Scriptures. To give men and women hope in this life and beyond. Jesus Christ came to give eternal life. God can heal miraculously but he often uses natural means to bring about heading. The doctors and other health persons. There's a purpose for God's miracles and that is His glory, that people bring honour and glory to Him.

      Truth is defined as the extent to which a claim conforms to reality. Therefore, l am obligated to ask, whatever happened to those powerful sermons about faith, now that we need them most. Could it be that the good christian pastors today have more faith in scientific, helping hands than they do in praying lips? It's like they have discovered a new truth (science) and have done away with the old biblical promises. I wonder why?
      During the pandemic, l'd love to hear sermons preached convincingly with conviction, if just for once, pertaining to the following biblical verses:
      John 15:7
      7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
      Matthew 18:19-20
      19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.
      20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
      John 14:12-14
      12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
      13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
      14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
      Mark 16:17-18
      17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
      18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
      Mark 11:22-24
      22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
      23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
      24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them

    I grew up in the church that preached this nonsense. Crippled people would walk again, sicknesses would be healed, the blind would see again, and the barren would miraculously give birth. I went to church with people who believed so strongly in faith healing. They even believed it in terms of their financial situations. I watched my mother get sucked into this faith, and bore witness to her losing everything; her car, her home, her family, and her dignity. I remember being so angry with her for risking the livelihood of her family to be dedicated to this faith. I was homeless in high school because of her faith choices. We drifted from home to home, and even ended up in a shelter at the Salvation Army. We slept on people's floors, on their couches, and dined at their tables. It was a horrible existence for my mother and myself as a teenager. She believed so strongly in this faith, that it was impossible for me to question it at the time. I tried to believe in the "power" of faith healing, and later came to the conclusion that it was all B.S., and a sham. Benny Hinn, T.D. Jakes, Joel Osteen, Kenneth Copeland, Pat Robertson of the 700 club, and more, all were and still in my eyes, frauds. I had a woman from church try to force me to speak in tongues. It was an unsettling experience for me, and she became angry because I didn't speak in tongues the way she wanted. I have no respect for Christianity, or any religion that tries to downplay the facts of life, and convince vulnerable people that their faith will "heal" them.

    The real problem is there are so many people that are broken in the USA. These natural-born salesmen, so-called preachers, use their ability to manipulate people to achieve the American dream. Why not organize that frustration, use it to change our country, to provide health care to all. To make the world more like your dream, god gave you the power, put it into changing the world. Just praying over people will only heal people just as yourself. Why not prevent people from the destruction that ruined your life, so others grow up in a peaceful world. Not the world you grew up in.

    Got danggit this was a deep one. I think this episode was about more than religion , It’s evident with Steve. I think its more about moving forward , keeping hope, not giving up, staying strong and believing that things will turn out in your favor if you stay positive (which is very hard to do especially in our current time). Ahhh I hope Steve is doing well because I felt so bad when he had to sit down - he was so disappointed but the way he didn’t stay in that disappointment and instead realized maybe that day was the wrong one

    When I was in first grade my sisters and I went to a small Pentecost church. After church we walked a short distance with 2 nuns to go to Sunday school in the home they lived in. They taught us about Jesus. One day for some reason the nuns had my older sister who was in 3rd grad sit in a chair, they both laid their hand on her head. She spoke in tongues. I’ll never forget it. When we moved I went to a church on Wednesday night there were some older women who sat in the back pews, raised their hand and spoke in tongues. It was a comfort to me. You knew Jesus was present in the church. Most Christians think speaking in Tongues is weird. I grew up with it. I like it.
