Healing, anyone?

I would just like to comment on healing. I've heard lots of people say that healing has passed away (like it died or something). Although they don't really know when, or where, or how it passed away...but it did somehow. There's nothing in the Bible that says so. Usually they just think that Jesus only gave His disciples that authority, but if you try it and release your faith, you'll see that He meant for you to be able to do those things too. That would have been an interesting story- if only those in Jesus generation could get healed...not us! That would mean they got healed on earth and heaven, and we get heaven after earth...but no healing. He's the same. He is 'I AM'. Same thing is available for us today. I once heard a professor who said that he just didn't see anywhere in the Bible where we were commanded to to the same things that Jesus' disciples were commanded to do. That's because we weren't. Their command is still our command. (What am I if I'm not a disciple? Surely God wouldn't be that unfair.....to discriminate on the basis of generation!) If you just go with that 'assumption', everything will change in your understanding of the Word, and its relevance to you today. He is God....He changes not.
