Many of the parents who allow their children to fall gravely ill or die because of religious convictions do so because they feel that using modern medicine is a lack of faith, forgetting, of course, that Luke was a physician, and that Jesus healed not only by faith but also in a specific dispensation. Abraham and Moses obviously had tremendous faith, but neither man healed anyone by faith.

Here's a simple way to see whether or not one has sufficient faith to heal. Jesus said that if one had the faith of a mustard seed, one could say to a mountain, "Remove thyself and be cast into the sea," and it would obey. So, next time someone in the family falls ill, try moving a mountain. If the mountain stays in place, take the patient to see a doctor.
