Jesus had a healing ministry. His ministry of healing was conducted prior to His Crucifixion. In Matthew 10, He directs His disciples to heal the sick. All of this was prior to the Day of Pentecost in Acts chapter 2. This is a clear example of the importance of understanding the spiritual side of healing. I would call this healing ministry the “top down” method. If you deal with the spiritual side, the body will respond.
This is what I call a Healer:
