Jesus healed thousands of people during his three-year ministry on Earth. His followers healed many thousands of people as well. This is recorded in The Acts of the Apostles, the book in the Bible after the four Gospels which tells some of the story of the early Church. But does God heal through his Church today? Absolutely!
One day someone whom I did not know bounded up to me at church after the meeting had finished and said, "I'm healed! I came to your recent church conference and you prayed for me because I had cancer, but the doctors now say that it has completely gone." She then bounded off to tell our pastor. At home another evening, my wife and I prayed for someone who had had calcium stones in his tear duct for quite a long time. They needed to come out and the only way that could be done was through a somewhat dangerous operation. The next morning, he came to us with something in his hand. He said that when he was cleaning his teeth the stones had come out into his mouth, and he showed us them. He didn't have to have the operation.
Jesus healed thousands while he lived on Earth and he told his followers that they would do even more.
On a personal note, I was at a church meeting and after the singing finished, the preacher said that God had healed someone's finger during the last song. Now I had damaged a little finger quite a while ago and it was giving me trouble with playing the piano, amongst other things. So I looked down and felt my finger: it was completely normal again.
These are just a few of many instances I could quote when God has supernaturally healed me, someone else when I have prayed, or when I have witnessed someone being healed at a church meeting. There are also many, many verified accounts of God healing people which can be found in books or on the internet. God is good and compassionate and willing to get involved in the details of our lives when we ask.
