That is, prophesying—communicating God’s message, to strengthen, encourage, and comfort
1 Pursue love, yet desire earnestly spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy. 2 For one who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God; for no one understands, but in his spirit he speaks mysteries.
Why?
3 But one who prophesies speaks to men for edification and exhortation and consolation.
21 for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.
Prophecy is a gift and comes from God
17 ‘And it shall be in the last days,’ God says, ‘That I will pour forth of My Spirit on all mankind; And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, And your young men shall see visions, And your old men shall dream dreams;
18 Even on My bondslaves, both men and women, I will in those days pour forth of My Spirit And they shall prophesy.
You will know its supernatural because son, daughter, and even bondslaves will prophesy.
4 Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5 And there are varieties of ministries, and the same Lord. 6 There are varieties of effects, but the same God who works all things in all persons. 7 But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. 8 For to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit; 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, 10 and to another the effecting of miracles, and to another prophecy, and to another the distinguishing of spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, and to another the interpretation of tongues. 11 But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually just as He wills.

And they promptly reported all these instructions to Peter and his companions.

The Gift of Healing
The Gift of Healing
The supernatural power of healing all manner of sickness.
This gift is release the power of Christ and the kingdom of God, to cure diseases and to break the curse and the yoke of infirmities.
18 they will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”
Notice, “they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”
This “they” is the body of Christ.
This is Jesus’ promise in the Great Commissioned.
He tells the church to DO these things
Go preach
Baptise
Cast out Demons
Speak in new tongues
He promises protection from serpent and deadly drinks.
Lay hands on the sick
When the church is functioning as it should be should be seeing healings be released in our body.
14 Is anyone among you sick? Then he must call for the elders of the church and they are to pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord; 15 and the prayer offered in faith will restore the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up, and if he has committed sins, they will be forgiven him.
the prayer offered in faith will restore the one who is sick
The word “restore” is the greek is the word, “sozo” coming from the word soteria
sozo, saved. soteria salvation.
34 Wherefore I pray you to take some meat: for this is for your health: for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you.
The word for health is the word Soteria.
God can save up out of is sickness.
2 Beloved, I pray that in all respects you may prosper and be in good health, just as your soul prospers.
Jesus came death on the cross was not just for our eternal security but for our entire walk with him.
4 Surely he has borne our griefs
and carried our sorrows;
yet we esteemed him stricken,
smitten by God, and afflicted.
5 But he was pierced for our transgressions;
he was crushed for our iniquities;
upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,
and with his wounds we are healed.
He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed.
2 “But for you who fear My name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings; and you will go forth and skip about like calves from the stall.
This is Malachi ending the old testament prophecying about our Christ that will be healing in his wings.
Why do you think that the woman with the issue of blood went for the hem of his garment?
Matthew 9:20–22 (NASB95)
20 And a woman who had been suffering from a hemorrhage for twelve years, came up behind Him and touched the fringe of His cloak; 21 for she was saying to herself, “If I only touch His garment, I will get well.” 22 But Jesus turning and seeing her said, “Daughter, take courage; your faith has made you well.” At once the woman was made well.
“Daughter, take courage; your faith has made you well.
well = Sozo = saved
Because she knew if she touched him she would be healed.
Jesus came to heal.
