A Roman Catholic priest as quoted by a BBC reporter:

"I was in Australia recently and there was a man who had cancer in his mouth. We asked the people with cancers to stand, and I commanded the cancers in the name of Jesus to disappear. Two minutes after the prayer, there was no cancer in his mouth; it was a perfectly new mouth. His doctor came over and verified the healing. That's slightly challenging if you don't believe in these things, isn't it?"

He does not believe that he has natural healing ability; rather that he is God's vessel.

"I do believe God has given us faculties through which we can enter into divine gifts - gifts like faith, compassion¿ and that can unlock something of the power of God, so God is free to act."

Of course I still have many doubts and questions about the whole thing.

 

Well, of course, or else he wouldn't be a reporter for the BBC! But take a look at his article here.

This was an interesting quote, as you say, from that article -

"Of course I still have many doubts and questions about the whole thing. For a start there is the obvious question, if God can intervene directly in our lives in such small ways, why doesn't he intervene to stop the Boxing Day tsunami or the concentration camps?

Even believers have no easy answers to that.

And one sceptic told me he would believe in miracles if an amputated leg began to grow back. Why, he wondered, are so many of the cured conditions invisible to the eye?

I have tried to keep an open mind. But just don't ask me what I believe, because I'm still making my mind up."

The larger part of the power of miracle healing is believing that Jesus is who He said He was, that He can do what He said He could do, and that we can do what He said we could do. That said, what one can actually do and see is based on one's level of Christian spiritual maturity. Some are allowed to see, others are not. Some are allowed to heal, others are not. After the Resurrection, for instance, only the faithful were allowed to see the "miracle" of the Christ. There was a good reason for that.
