Healings

"The Bible declares that the work was done 2,000 years ago. God is not going to heal you now — He healed you 2,000 years ago". (Benny Hinn, Rise and Be Healed, Orlando, FL, Celebration Publishers, 1991). 

Part of the process in “claiming” a healing is called “positive confession.” This means that one must deny physical symptoms in order to exercise the proper faith. An often quoted verse is Psalm:103:3Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
See All..., which declares of the Lord that he “forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases.” This verse is taken as a blanket statement for claiming healing from every malady. Yet in the modern faith movement the word “all” apparently does not cover broken arms or legs. There is no denial of “symptoms” in these cases. Yet God certainly lacks no power. Why should He be limited by broken limbs if what is being taught is both biblical and demonstrable?

Numerous examples could be given of word faith individuals whose faith failed them.
