2. Faith healing is satanic. Satan is an
erstwhile imitator of the divine gift of
healing of the Holy Spirit. The Scripture
says that the satanic delusions will
abound on the last day. Even Jesus
warns that false prophets and fake
healers would arise and perform many
signs and wonders and seduce many.
3. Apostle Paul also warns that the mystery of
iniquity would work throughout the age when
many would heed to the seducing spirit and thus
become ensnared by demons.
(1Tim.4;1)
Large segment of people remain ignorant and
can’t distinguish between faith healers and
healing performed by the Church through
sacraments and through its healing ministries.
For them both are the same because of no
proper evaluation .
4. The faithful must not risk themselves
from being seduced by a religiously
camouflaged healing activity which
masquerades as divine.
People should be smart enough so as
not to be trapped by faith healers
through subtle approaches and
strategies (Garcia, 2010)
5. DIVINE HEALING VS. FAITH HEALING
Divine Healing
Real Gift of Healing
( From God)
Faith Healing
False Gift of Healing
(From Satan)
1. Divine healing is performed by
the divine instruments of the
church through its healing
ministry consisting exorcist
priest, and lay people
bestowed with the gift or
charism of healing
1. Faith healing is performed by
mediums, psychic, spiritists,
fortune-tellers, white magicians,
mesmerizing occultists
2. The power of the divine
healers come from the charism
of the Holy Spirit
2. The real power from faith healers is not
made known to the patient but
camouflaged as by saints/church
personalities usually with statues of
saints displayed in the camp/center
they occupy
6. 3. Divine healers preach the
patients to repent of
their sins, avail of the
sacrament of
reconciliation,
administer anointment if
patient is dying, praying
over after the divine
preparation (total
cleansing of body and
soul, not of body alone)
3. Healing is superficial and a
healing for the body alone. The
diseased body can be healed
but will eventually recur in an
off and on mode, no spiritual
cleansing of the patient
5. The instruments/healers are
gifted by
the Holy Spirit
5. The healers themselves are
victims
and deceived by demonic
spirits
7. 4. No diagnosis given. The
instrument just lay hands
and utter prayers. No
prescription whatsoever but
just a maintenance of clean
and holy life like a regular
sacrament of penance , and
staying away from sinful life
and a regular communion
with the Lord
4. Faith healers usually tell the
patient that an evil spirit from
the netherworld has been
disturbed or angered, a soul
that needs prayers, etc. has
caused the sickness, an
equivalent penance is
something to be done like,
lighting a candle in the
cemetery, butcher an animal
as payment, etc, weird ways
to appease the angry spirits,
etc.
8. 5. Prayers have healed the body
and spirit.
5. Mesmerizes and rituals with
corresponding herbs with rituals
heals the body temporarily
6. Only sacramentals, prayer
books, etc. are suggested for
regular use
6. Usually patients are made to
wear amulets of different types
in their bodies as protection
against bad spirits.
7. The divine healer may
advise a patient to go
to a professional medical
doctor if there’s a need
for surgery
7. The faith healers will be made
to go back every now and then
for follow ups with the amulets
securely but indiscreetly worn in
the body
9. 2
Types of Faith Healing
1. Spiritistic Healing
Claimed that their healing gift is allegedly
bestowed upon them by the saints
They practice spiritual profession by
visiting homes, hospitals, and spend long
hours of prayers before the improvised
altar at home or in a chapel
They are usually women sporting with
either blue or white habits like
real sisters or nuns of a
religious congregation
10. The truth is they are anti-Christs. They
defy the activity of the parish and have
their own spiritual precepts taught by
their spiritual master faith healers
They have their own way of performing
the routines of fasting, prayer, rosary but
the irony is that tney don’t attend mass,
nor take communion and confession
They claimed that they are children of
Mary, and that it’s Mary who gave them
the gift of healing.
(So false because Jesus is the only healer, Mary is just
to help pray to Jesus for healing) pp.89-90)
11. 2. Absentee Healing
Healing instruments are are psychic
healers using psychometry
Healers diagnose the patients sickness
by just using any thing recently used by
the patients like clothes, etc.
Should there be a need for surgery, the
patient can be operated right in his
house
The patient is advised to stay in bed for
hours/days while waiting for the invisible
medical team to do the operation
12. 3. Psychic Healing and Psychic Surgery
One dynamics of psychic healing
is psychic surgery
The healer removes any tissue , big or small
organs of the patient by just using fingers .
The thumb and the forefingers are the only
instruments to slash open the skin
Seems to be amazingly advanced
paranormal activities that even real doctors
complained of such an illegal medical
practice despite being unschooled,
unlicensed.
13. They are considered as magicians of
the gods.
Eleuterio Terte of Pangasinan is one of these types of
psychic surgeons who performs psychic surgery by bare
hands and closed the incision without any trace skin cut/
scar
Such amazing thing contradicts universal law of God which
only Satan can do
These surgeons establish clinics and healing centers and
some have even radio programs and becomes guests on TV
shows
What a great glory accorded to the devil , a blasphemy to God
because of this phenomena.
14. 4. Magnetic Healing
Performed by predominantly psychic healers but
patients are not touched. The hands which have
magnetic magic power pass through above the diseased
part of the body which look like laying of hands.
This types of psychic healers are considered more
sophisticated since they claim that they are gifted with
EP, excursion of the psyche or OBE outside the body
experience that their soul can leave the body and can
travel to distant places.
(Thisis a contradiction to the divine universal law that whileliving the body and soul
can’tbe separated. It’s so clear that only Satan and his minions cancontradict this
divine law)
15. 5. Pranic Healing
This is one of the dynamics of the
New Age Movement
A healing technique basically
referred
to as breathing exercise relying
allegedly on energy of plants and
matters that have magical power
to heal the diseased body.
16. Observing pranic healing on the outside it sounds scientific
but if you get into the inside of it, you will discover that it is
occult based, the fact that trees are projected as living entity
that the healer has to ask the tree to help heal the sick. The
patient has to lie under the tree and requests the being of the
tree to help the person get well. Requesting the tree to do
something is blatant idolatry. It is suspicious and therefore
possessing occult dimension.
This is also associated and introduced with acupuncture
wherein a needle is inserted into a body believed to have
blocked energy
17. In pranic healing there is a ritual of
cleansing and sweeping to allegedly remove
waste prana congested in the body because
if not removed they are considered body
toxins . They remove excess prana by
imagination and by the
sweeping movement of their hands from
the head to the feet . As the hands
reached the sole of the feet, they
performed a throwing action
18. Pranic healers are clairvoyant psychic
medium alleged to have been gifted from
the most high and claimed that they can see
things beyond normal sight using the aura
of imagination and can allegedly
communicate with beings to help them in
the healing process
19. D. BLACK MAGIC
Considered as the most
offensive occult
A destructive powerful weapon
to cause death
Considered black because those
proficient with the art were
connected with the power of
darkness
20. Black magicians do the art by producing
preternatural effects by direct league with Satan
and his demons by a signing a pact allegiance
with blood
Black magicians name are not open to public
unlike the white magicians, perhaps for fear of
retaliation from victims of their secret killing
power.
21. Reincarnation
A teaching by the New Age Movement that man
need not worry of his soul for it will transmigrate
to another body.
EP
Excursion of the psyche . Traveling of the soul to
different places while he is unconscious
OBE Outside the Body Experience
Hypnosis
Power that makes the victim lose his ideas, a power
of the black magic
Compels a victim to do things he doesn’t like, etc
Occultic Terms and Dynamics
22. mesmerism
An occult psychic power similarly known as
hypnosis. Mesmerizers are spiritist magicians
Alleged reciting of as sacred spoken words to cause
cure to sickness using religious words to conceal
demonic nature of the power. (orasyon)
Sometimes writes the mesmerized words on apiece of
paper soaked on a glass of water for the patient to
drinkI
If one attempts to memorize mesmerizing words and
can tackle to do the corresponding requirements, they
go usually become mentally depressed , shows
disorderly attitude a characteristic of a demonic nature
23. Necromancy Talking to the dead. This is abominable to God.
They are just remembered and on All Souls
'Day, the Universal Church offers mass for
them
Bhakti Hindu devotion to deity to attain alleged
salvation.
Arduous ritualistic penances, fasting and
sciptural recitation to beget worldly comfort
and cure for diseases
Bilocation * A modern occult terminology in reference to a
dual or classic case of apparition allegedly by a
living person
A person seen in simultaneous occasion in two
different places.
This modern occult is trying to project a
scenario exactly like what God can really do.
24. Materialization An evil spirit strongly appears in physical form in
human person using the appearance of certain
person who had been dead several years ago or
recently.
A sign of a demonic attack or possession bad
luck in the family.
Levitation * Some divine mystics of the church levitates
especially during deep prayers .In fact Church has
several records or accounts on these especially
among saints.
But this has to be imitated by the great imitator
and deceiver to gain popularity and to deceive
people.
If one couldn’t have the discerning power, it’s
difficult for him to distinguish the original and
true from the imitation and false
