The New Testament identifies healing as a main function of the Christian church, whether such healing emerges in the form of miracles performed by apostles (Acts) or believers, or whether it is a task assigned to elders (James 5:13-18).
Above all, however, the Gospels highlight healing, for at the core of their account of Jesus' public ministry lies his activity as healer. The Gospels, epitomise a rich resource for individuals who, in the encounter of sickness and other conditions of weakness, seek both healing and deliverance
During the ministry of Jesus, he was known as the great physician and people flocked to him, drawn by the many miracles he was performing, as the gospel reports they brought to him many who were sick and he healed them.
