As an extraordinary charism, gifts of healing are supernatural enablements given to a believer to minister various kinds of healing and restoration to individuals through the power of the Holy Spirit.
[2] In the Gospel of Mark's account of the Great Commission, Jesus stated that one of the signs to follow believers in him would be healing after the laying on of hands.
In the fifth chapter of the Epistle of James, anointing with oil is involved with the laying on of hands and prayer over the sick.
These symbolize that believers were channels of divine power and that the healing was the work of the Holy Spirit.
[2] All Pentecostals and charismatics are encouraged to pray for the healing of the sick even if they do not claim possession of the supernatural gift.
