Numerous Christians state that healing for mental or physical disorders is available to those with strong faith. Such individuals often seek out a Christian healing ministry for advice or prayer. Over the years, there have been reports of miracles for those afflicted with heart problems, multiple sclerosis and cancer.

Many proponents of the Christian faith believe that all kinds of miracles can be received if they ask Jesus for healing. Indeed, many New Testament Scriptures provide a foundation for this belief. There are numerous passages in the Bible that state when Jesus was crucified that he not only saved the human race from sin, but he also took on disease and infirmity as well. This is overtly stated in verses such as Matthew, chapter 8, verse 16, where Isaiah 53:4-12 is quoted. The Scripture states that all such afflictions were borne by Christ on the cross.

In other scriptures, such as James chapter five, verse fourteen, it states that miracles happen when hands are laid on the afflicted individual. No verse or chapter in the New Testament states that a person was ever denied healing if the individual believed in God and had faith. This is made very clear in specific texts such as Matthew 21:21 and Mark 11:23.

As one would suspect, miracles go beyond the natural realm. For this reason, numerous ministries tell people not to limit God's based on natural circumstances. Instead, if one's faith is strong, the miracle will come if the afflicted person believes and confesses his or her belief.

Those who believe in the aforementioned doctrine state that the days of miracles are not past. This belief is based on yet another Scripture, Hebrews 13:8 which states that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and therefore the miracles He did, He still does. As stated in Acts 10:38, Jesus went around healing all who were oppressed by the devil and demonic forces. Believers state that such miracles are still available today.

Because faith is involved with miracles, individuals should not let negative influences affect them and a weaken their beliefs. Naysayers and unbelievers often state that God only provides miracles for certain individuals, leaving others behind. However, ACTS 10:34 refutes this theory, as it states that God is not a "respect or of persons". The modern-day translation of that verse simply means that God will not favor one person over another. Instead, the miracle is up to how strongly one believes God's word.

It is also essential for one to realize that money or donations does not guarantee a miracle. In fact, a sorcerer named Simon was hotly rebuked in the book of Acts, chapter eight, verse twenty, for trying to buy God's gifts with money. Getting healed has nothing to do with giving money to a specific ministry.

The best choice for someone who is trying to find a Christian healing ministry is a church where the pastor and congregation believe that miracles can happen for anyone. Building one's faith is important, as is refusing to listen to skeptics. Many individuals have received miracles from God, and it is these experiences one should dwell on when waiting for healing of his or her own.
