I was wondering about healing? I. Glorify of God. Ive been stuck on this for a while not knowing where to look. I was wondering if using oil and herbs and even crystals as healing remedies while praying and etc were okay? Ive been stuck on wanting this answered.
James 5:14 tells us, "Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord."
I would really have someone spiritually anointed deal with anointing oil. We're talking about the power of God, and you want to make sure that God's anointing is on that oil.
Otherwise, you might be stepping outside of the will of God.
Regardless of the remedies you choose to use all healing is through the blood of CHRIST. Keep praising GOD and thank HIM for your healing. Affirm HIS promise to you from Isaiah 53:4 "Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted." GOD will speak to your heart, if you listen and obey. God bless you and may you be blessed with HIS healing touch.
There are many scripture reference about healing throughout the Bible! If you are unfamiliar with these, may I suggest getting a small "Promises hand booklet" these are inexpensive and wonderful, it has Scripture verses for various topics. It would help you, understanding God's promises and what our Lord Jesus Christ did for us on the cross, for he laid down his life for us, so we can have eternal life! Praise God! He is the lamb of God so we may receive salvation and healing and the promises of God to those who believe and receive him as Lord and savior!
Concerning "Crystals" it is not a Christian practice, but a new age doctrine and occult religion!! So, please stay away from that! Yes, Anointing oil is still used today and according to The New Testament in the Bible (see James) the elders of the church anointed with oil as they prayed for those who are sick. It is still practiced today. However, Everyone should pray in faith and asked the Lord Jesus to heal for those that are sick. by His stripes we were healed! God is faithful to hear and answer our prayers! I hope this helps. God bless you!
