This can be approached from two overlapping perspectives: the psychological and the spiritual. Jerome Frank's Persuasion and Healing explored the efficacy of the placebo effect. Frank was attempting to offer a more holistic view of disease, emphasizing that it is as much a psychosocial phenomenon as it is a biological one. Frank notes that those who practice non-medical healing tend to view “illness as a disorder of the total person, involving not only his body, but his image of himself and his relations to his group; instead of emphasizing conquest of the disease, they focus on stimulating or strengthening the patient[s natural healing powers” (1973, 47). Frank identified common characteristics in situations where persuasion was the primary intervention, including political thought reform (i.e., re-education camps) and faith healing. The characteristics included a sufferer and a culturally sanctioned persuader, where the sufferer is in distress and alienated from a support community, and the persuader represents the dominant worldview that governs accepted views of illness and health.

Faith healing is practiced in Pentecostal revival experiences, which are characterized by religious ecstasy, dancing, shouting, the sign gifts of the Holy Spirit like glossolalia and divine healing. A prerequisite for the latter is the supplicant must have enough faith in order for the healing to be efficacious (Harrell, 1975). The revival setting is emotionally charged with considerable sensory pageantry that tells the supplicant that God is at work in the healing.

Of course, Pentecostal faith healing is not the only spiritual healing that occurs. Many Christians pray for the sick and many report recovery either through traditional medical means or through the supernatural agency of the Holy Spirit.

Ultimately, there are two hypotheses which are both worldview-dependent. For those whose worldview allows for the intervention of a transcendent God, supernatural healing is one way in which God intervenes. For those whose worldviews do not allow for the existence of God or supernatural beings, than "faith healing" must have a naturalistic explanation. While persuasion may be a partial explanation, it is certainly an inadequate one for why tumors disappear or the blind recover their sight.

Dear Colleague

Greetings and Regards

The Quran is taught to us:

-God created the heavens and the earth in six periods, then paid to manage the world with kindness

"God is both the creator and the" breeder "of the world, who has the power of control.

- the "hand of power of God" is not closed with the laws of the creation universe

-The God will make a miracle every moment

- God will "create a new creation" at any moment

-The Lord has "endless power"

"God treats us, as we suppose

- God loves his servants, just as much as they hope to have mercy on God

- Disappointment from God's mercy is the greatest sin

 So if we believe in God's healing power,God heals us

Just try to experience it

with respect

Dear Rhoda Monihan ,Must be done specifically, have a teacher or friend who is the same soul, or be included in certain appropriate programs because the body or soul experiences fluctuations which are sometimes greatly influenced by external factors. requires a certain method that has been tested, with an adequate and appropriate location. In Indonesia it is known as "spiritual learning". The participants are from various groups, maybe there were drug addicts, ex-convicts, frustrated people or someone who was focused on finding inner peace. The location is far from the crowd, in a quiet and secluded place where people rarely travel. Programs like this are followed by many people who want to escape worldly influences. Best regards.
