Featured question: “What kind of people should heal the sick? What kind of peopleshould refrain from doing so?”
Answer: 1) Believers and elders. 2) No born-again Christians should be refrained from doing so.
See DHT manual sections 5, 8 and 17.
The Lord is look for willing people—anybody who wants to be used by the Lord— to do His work. The Holy Spirit will back it up, and the person will be healed.
Luke 9:49-50
Mark 16:15-18
John 14:10-12—Healing can happen because Jesus went to the Father. It is wrong that a lot of churches restrict their people from going out and healing people. Jesus says “you go!.”
1 Cor 2:1-5—“…Him crucified (and the stripes He bore)…” It is God, not you, who heals the people.
All Christians who have the Holy Spirit are called to heal the sick and take ground from the devil. We are called to make a difference. Even if we are sick, we can still go out and pray for people. We sow healing, and we will receive healing. Sowing and reaping.
If we live in sin, we need to repent to get right with God. It is not an excuse not to go out and heal people.
Kids can pray for people and get results of healing. Sometimes they are more effective because of child-like faith.
“…he who is not against us is on our side…”—Jesus does not put a lot of restrictions on people; He just wants His work done.
In the New Testament, we see no mentions of Jesus training His disciples on the right doctrines before sending them out to heal the sick and cast out demons.
We need to train people to put the will of the Father first and just go to advance the Kingdom. It is all about the price Jesus paid; it is never about us.

Q1: If believers are sick and ask for prayer should we not only command healing over them, but also, and perhaps first, show them how to command healing over their own bodies and others they know?
A: Yes.
Q2: What does Lamentations 3:33 mean? God does not willingly bring affliction. So, does God unwillingly bring affliction?
A: It is an odd question. God is sovereign, so He will not unwillingly do anything. It is illegal for sickness and diseases to be on us because of what Jesus has done.
Q3: Why did Ananias and Sapphira under grace drop dead for lying (to the Holy Spirit) in the New Testament? Can this happen to people now?
A: It can happen now. They should not have lied to the Holy Spirit. The Lord wanted to get people’s attention. The Lord has given us the wonderful year of acceptance.
We may want to concentrate on this.
The question for us is: How close do we want to live on the edge? We want to be at the center of God’s will, having no sin and guile. Busy with doing the do’s and having no time doing the don’ts. Let’s go all out and focus on what we are doing as Christians.
Note that God DID NOT kill Ana and . The word is “life out”—it means something Ananias and Sapphira did to themselves. They died; nobody killed them. God is a giver of life.
Q4: How do you respond when you command healing for a someone, but they seem to respond with hurt and emotional anguish when we command healing?
Like they are being emotionally hurt by me praying for them.
A: It could be a demon, not the person who is prayed for.
Q5: Can I still pray for someone who doesn't want to be prayed for? I am still a bit confused about that one like example when Yeshua couldn't do much because people weren't asking Him to...I recently had an "experience" where I prayed for someone in pain and he ran away and said 'on no, I' don't do that, I'm an atheist" I said "that is ok, I will believe for you" and I am still believing that he didn't have
pain any more but unless he acknowledges why, won't the enemy just come back on him? Is that why Yeshua didn't do much in certain places?
A: Yes. We have authority over sickness and the devil. We can put the devil down whether the person likes it or not. We can have faith for other people. Note that the dead guys Jesus prayed for did not have any faith.
Q6: Why did God use Esther to save the Jews but the Holocaust still happened?
A: Esther rose up to the challenge; she was willing and did not back down. She showed up at the right place at the right time.
We live in a fallen world. There were Jews who did not buckle. They stood strong.
The question should be rephrased as : How many Christians could stop the Holocaust but choose not to? It was not God who allowed it; it was the church at the time. A lot of disasters can be prevented if people stand up for what’s right.
Note: God never changes, but the way He deals with people through covenants can change (hence Old vs. New Covenants).

特別問題：
「什麼樣的人應該為病人禱告得醫治？什麼樣的人不應該這麼做？」
回答：
1）信徒與教會長老。
2）沒有任何重生的基督徒應該被禁止這麼做。
請參見 DHT 講義第 5、8 與 17 節。
主正在尋找願意被祂使用的人——任何渴望被主使用來完成祂工作的都可以。聖靈會支持這樣的人，病人也將因此得醫治。
參考經文：
• 路加福音 9:49–50
• 馬可福音 16:15–18
• 約翰福音 14:10–12 — 醫治能發生是因為耶穌已升到父那裡。許多教會限制信徒出去醫病，這是錯誤的；耶穌說的是「你們去！」
哥林多前書 2:1–5 —「…並他被釘十字架（與他所受的鞭傷）…」是神醫治人，不是你。
所有有聖靈的基督徒都蒙召要醫治病人，從魔鬼手中奪回地土。我們蒙召要產生影響。即使我們自己生病，也可以出去為別人禱告——撒下醫治的種子，就必收成。這是撒種與收割的原則。
若我們活在罪中，就要悔改與神對齊，但這不代表我們就有藉口不去醫治病人。
孩子們也可以為人禱告而帶來醫治結果，有時因他們單純的信心反而更有果效。
「不敵擋我們的，就是幫助我們的」——耶穌沒有設下太多限制；祂只是要祂的工作被完成。
在新約中，耶穌並沒有先教導門徒正確的神學觀點才差遣他們去醫病趕鬼。
我們要訓練人優先遵行父神的旨意，出去擴展神國。一切都是因耶穌所付的代價，從來不是因我們是誰。
⸻
問題一：
如果信徒生病並請求禱告，我們除了為他命令醫治，是不是也應該（甚至首先）教導他如何為自己或他人命令醫治？
答：是的。
⸻
問題二：
耶利米哀歌 3:33 說神不甘心使人受苦，那這是否代表神「不情願地」使人受苦？
答：這問題有點奇怪。神是全權掌權的主，祂不會「不情願地」做任何事。因著耶穌所完成的工作，疾病在我們身上是非法的。
⸻
問題三：
為什麼亞拿尼亞和撒非喇在新約恩典時代，因對聖靈說謊而倒斃？這今天還會發生嗎？
答：今天仍可能發生。他們不該對聖靈說謊。主是為了引起人注意。主給了我們這「悅納人的禧年」。
我們該聚焦在這點上——
問題是：我們想活得多貼近「邊界」？我們應該活在神旨意的中心，沒有罪與詭詐。專注於當做的事，沒有時間去做那些不該做的。全力以赴，活出基督徒的生命。
注意：神沒有殺亞拿尼亞和撒非喇。經文原文是「生命流失」（life out）——意即是他們自己造成的。他們自己死了，沒有人殺他們。神是賜生命的神。
⸻
問題四：
當我們為人命令醫治時，對方反而出現情緒上的傷害或痛苦反應，這該如何回應？
答：這可能是邪靈在作怪，而不是那個人本身的反應。
⸻
問題五：
若有人不想被禱告，我還可以為他禱告嗎？我有點混淆。耶穌在某些地方也因人不求就不能多行神蹟。我最近為一位痛苦的人禱告，他跑開說「喔不，我不接受這個，我是無神論者。」我說：「沒關係，我會為你信。」我仍相信他沒再痛，但若他不承認為何得醫治，敵人不就會再回來嗎？這就是耶穌在某些地方不能多做事的原因嗎？
答：是的。我們對疾病與魔鬼有權柄。不論對方是否願意，我們都能擊退魔鬼。我們可以為別人憑信心行動。注意：耶穌為死人禱告時，他們是沒有信心的。
⸻
問題六：
既然神曾用以斯帖拯救猶太人，為什麼後來還是發生了大屠殺？
答：以斯帖接受了挑戰，沒有退縮，在對的時間出現在對的地方。
我們活在一個墮落的世界，但也有許多猶太人沒有妥協，他們堅持到底。
這問題應該被這樣反問：「有多少基督徒原本可以阻止大屠殺，但選擇袖手旁觀？」不是神允許這事發生，而是當時的教會沒有起來。若人們站起來為真理發聲，很多災難原本可以被避免。
**附註：**神的性情永不改變，但祂藉由不同「約」來與人互動的方式可以改變（如舊約與新約的區別）。
