   I claim that Jesus had healer special ability, and that it was   
   granted to the apostles and some others at Pentecost.   
   I also claim that the ability has to be applied by willing,   
   not by prayer, and think that the above quote is evidence   
   of that. However the ability is divinely granted.   
      
   There was some debate on the subject between me   
   and Kendall on moderated group uk.religion.christian   
   in the thread “Feast of Saint James”. Kendall believes   
   that healing comes just from prayer, not willing.
