- Jesus’ last command before ascension: “Go, lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.”
- Healing is a natural expectation for believers filled with the Holy Spirit.

- Anyone filled with the Holy Spirit has access to this healing power.
- The promise is clear: “If Charles and Francis can heal the sick, I can heal the sick, if Jesus Christ could heal the sick when He was human, I can heal the sick.”
- Believers must accept and exercise this authority confidently.

Summary Conclusion
Francis Hunter’s teaching is a compelling biblical exposition on healing the sick through laying on of hands, rooted firmly in Scripture and empowered by faith and the Holy Spirit. He dispels misconceptions about devil’s power over believers, emphasizing the authority, responsibility, and power that comes from God through Jesus Christ and the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Healing is described as a simple yet powerful act, an extension of Jesus’ ministry, accessible to all genuine believers who act in faith and perseverance. The teaching invites believers to confidently embrace their spiritual authority as vessels of God’s resurrection power to bring healing and miracles into everyday life.

Do You Want to Know Him?
If you want to know Jesus personally, you can. It all begins when you repent and believe in Jesus. Do you know what God's Word, the Bible says?
“Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.’” (Mar 1:14b-15). He preached that we must repent and believe.
Please see my explanation of this in my post called "Do You Want to Know Jesus?"
