Under the name of 'Festival of joy and public meeting' ministry of Jesus organizes faith healing sessions in various parts of India, not only in poor and uneducated villages but also in cities like Mumbai, Delhi and in next month at Kanpur. And I am too curious to know in scientific age how thousands of general people eagerly waits for such kind of meeting and attend them with sincere heart and feelings. Magicians are illusionists. Their performance is based on the principle that people are gullible and the human mind is very easy to trick. But most magicians are careful not to claim supernatural power. This is the only difference between magicians and fake healers. Fake healers claim to perform miracles. The truth is fake healers are like parasites preying on the weak and sick. When the human spirit and body have been devastated by an illness it leaves a person vulnerable. Many people go to faith healers because all other means of a cure have failed. They look at a miracle as their last chance to get their health back. Fake healers understand this human weakness and they use it to get what they want, money. Modern day faith healers do not have any supernatural power. They are like magicians putting on a performance. Magic is not real, it is based on illusions. The same is true of faith healers today.
If faith healing could really have worked then why don't these so called healers go to hospitals and cure patients, in fact there was faith healer named as Benny Hinn, who once went to hospital to cure patient but he couldn't do anything and returned back shamelessly, to cover up his hypocrisy he called for celebrity Evander Hollyfield who was Benny's fan and asked Evander to acts as a heart diseased and Benny cured his disease in front of people to get their faith again. During the past forty years, several investigators have studied this subject closely and written about their findings. In 'Faith Healing' book, Louis Rose, a British psychiatrist concluded, "I have been unsuccessful. After nearly twenty years of work I have yet to find one 'miracle cure'; and without that I cannot be convinced of the efficacy of what is commonly termed faith healing." The most comprehensive examination of contemporary "healers" is James Randi's 'The Faith Healers'. The book describes how many of the leading evangelistic healers have enriched themselves with the help of deception and fraud. Some of Randi's evidence came from former associates of the evangelists who got disgusted with what they had observed. Randi's most noteworthy experience was the unmasking of Peter Popoff, an evangelist who would call out the names of people in the audience and describe their ailments. Popoff said he received this information from God, but it was actually obtained by his paid people who mingled with the audience before each performance. Pertinent data would be given to Popoff's wife, who would broadcast it from backstage to a tiny receiver in Popoff's ear.
There are unlimited stories of such fake healers, but there are real faith healers too! Who are they? They are saints and aacharyas who by their actions and words heal the heart of people and bring them towards the God and make them happy, for an example Prabhupad is real faith healer he actually made hippy into happy by bringing them in connection with God and that's the real miracle. So choice is ours whom to support, the real faith healers or fake healers ?
