The gifts of healing

... to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
1 Corinthians 12:9 KJV

Do you know what are these gifts of healing? (Notice it is not a "gift" nor is it "healings" )

The gifts of healing operates through the following gifts for the specific purpose of supernatural healing of the physical body, mentally and spiritually:
1) the gift of the word of wisdom
2) the gift of the word of knowledge
3) the gift of faith

All the "means" or "methods" of healing operates from these three gifts working together.
Eg. By prayer, anointing oil, laying on hands, casting out of devils, forgiveness etc

By these three gifts, the other five gifts may be employed further for healing. i.e. gift of working of miracles, prophecy, discerning of spirits, divers kinds of tongues and interpretation of tongues.

The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.
Proverbs 14:27 KJV

My son,
1) attend to my words;
2) incline thine ear unto my sayings.
3) Let them not depart from thine eyes; 4) keep them in the midst of thine heart.
=> For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.
=> Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
Proverbs 4:20‭-‬23 KJV

The very first condition to be able to operate in any of the gifts of healing is the fear of the LORD, that is, after you have received the gift of the Holy Spirit, Himself dwelling in you.
It is by His grace that heals the sick through faith, not by our works.

~~~
Let us understand the essence of what these three gifts actually are:

1) The gift of the word of wisdom, being:
The spiritual ability to humbly see through and understand things from God's heart to give forth the truth or an advice according to a revelation of His Word on the situation or person or people.

The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.
Proverbs 15:33 KJV


2) The gift of the word of knowledge, being:
The spiritual ability in possessing a detailed intellectual knowledge of specific things from God's mind to give forth the details of this revelation of the situation or person or people, which could not be known naturally.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom:
and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
Proverbs 9:10 KJV

Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.
Job 28:28 KJV


3) The gift of faith, being:
The spiritual ability to operate in faith as God faithed, the faith of God, for the situation or person or people.
It is that specific power by which the things desired become the things possessed.
It is beyond "believe" and cannot be manufactured or worked up but is received by the grace of God.

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Hebrews 11:1 KJV

But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Hebrews 11:6 KJV

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves:
it is the gift of God:
Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV

Other Five Gifts:

1) The working of miracles is the spiritual ability to manifest the power of God to effect an instantaneous supernatural change of the body or situation or person or people, and brought about by taking a sequence of action(s) or working it out (or doing) by faith.

And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul:
Acts 19:11 KJV

He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
Galatians 3:5 KJV


2) The gift of prophecy is the spiritual ability by means of a direct revelation received in our spirit (not our mind) to proclaim forth the Word of God and the Gospel of the Kingdom of God to men.

But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.
1 Corinthians 14:3 KJV


3) The gift of the discerning of spirits is the spiritual ability to discern the type and degree of pride in the spirit of man as well as the presence of demonic spirits in man by the type and degree of pride exhibited or manifested, to thus determined the motive and motivation behind the spirits.

It is essentially the ability to determine the degree (or lack) of holiness and righteousness relatively to God Himself.

For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Hebrews 4:12 KJV


4) The gift of the divers kinds of tongues is the spiritual ability to speak or pray or prophesy in an unknown or angelic language directly from our spirit (not our mind) to God or to the situation or person or people, according to the things lead by the Holy Spirit.

The Spirit of the Lord spake by me, and his word was in my tongue.
2 Samuel 23:2 KJV

He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.
1 Corinthians 14:4 KJV

For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.
1 Corinthians 14:14 KJV

Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.
1 Corinthians 14:39 KJV


5) The gift of the interpretation of tongues is the spiritual ability to give forth the understanding of the unknown tongue spoken, received in our spirit (not mind).
It is an interpretation according to the degree of our mind renewal and is being expressed in our own words.
It is not a word-for-word translation.

Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret.
1 Corinthians 14:13 KJV
~~~

But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.
1 Corinthians 12:11 KJV
