‘Snake Handling’ is used in a few country Churches in order to prove, or as a sign of, their faith. The idea comes from an interpretation of Mark 16:18, where Jesus is giving His disciples a few parting words and instructions before He ascended into heaven, in which he mentions ‘taking up serpents’.
Healing is a miracle that is seen in both the Old and the New Testaments. Healing is a restoration. God can heal any sicknesses or disease. Jesus healed many people that came to Him and we see the Apostles continuing with this Spiritual Gift. Healing is for us today.
God promised healing.
Exodus 15:26 And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.
