Indeed, I believe that God can use ordinary people such as you have described...I am skeptical, of those who make the claim of being faith healers, by profession....and like others here, I find it incredibly wrong, to charge money for healings...

The reason I am so adamantly against these people charging money, is perhaps a personal reason, but here goes anyway...

When I worked in the nursing home situation, we had one young gal, under our care, who was severely brain impaired, to the point of being completely unresponsive....her parents kept her at home, and actually took such poor care of her at that time, that her contractures, were extreme, as extreme as I have ever seen...and the evidence of bedsore, was all too obvious as well..finally they relented and put her in a nursing home...which I do believe was the best choice, because physically she never got physically worse, once under the care of the nursing staff...if anything she improved under our care...

In any case, her parents, spent every single cent they had, paying faith healers to come to their home, to come to the nursing home, to cure their only child....when certain faith healers were going to be in our area, these parents, would contact the faith healer, and really pay them outrageous sums of money, to come to the nursing home, and ‘heal’ their daughter....the healer came, spent some few minutes with the girl, and nothing every changed in her condition....

The parents spent every cent they had, paying faith healers...no healings ever occurred...all we could do, as the nursing staff, was prepare the girl for the arrival of the faith healer, and let the parents do as they wished....eventually one parent, then the other parent died...they had been older parents when their daughter was born, so by the time of her becoming ill, they were already aged...they spent their entire older age, spending their life savings on on faith healer after another, until they had nothing left, and no more faith healers ever came...

That young lady, is still alive, still in the same condition she was when I last took care of her, more than 10 years ago...that her parents were fooled time and time again, by these faith healers, and lost all of their money paying those faith healers, used to make me sad...on reconsideration, however, what parent would not spend every single dime they had, to cure their child...I am just sorry they were given such false hope, for that is what I consider it, by these faith healers...

I don’t believe in people charging for faith healing either, but if you are talking about Dr. Wright, you will have to talk to Quix about what he does. I have his book but packed it away when I took down my bookshelves for renovations. It’s packed away somewhere. Quix can tell you more.
