FIVE GREAT HEALERS SPEAK HERE
Yes, this very often happens. I suppose nearly everyone has had the experience of going into a sick room and the person who was ill reported feeling so much better after the visit. The minister who is uplifted in the spirit of God, who knows the feeling of love and compassion for everyone, is at all times a "light unto the world.” It literally does mean that everyone is blessed because that person passes near.
Very often, for example, at a Divine Healing Service, people have reported healing as we shook hands at the door in parting. I am sure the Father initiates many wonderful events once a channel of love and faith are open for His use. Can a patient at a distance and unaware of the healers efforts on his behalf be healed?
Yes, this is a very common occurrence. We have had hundreds of cases where someone has written in asking for help and healing for a husband, a son, a wife, or a friend with an instruction, “Please do not say anything about it.” Time and again healing takes place. And we just know that the very best thing anyone can ever do for anyone else in trouble is to ask someone to pray for the person concerned. Prayer never hurt anyone. To enfold someone in love is not a trespass.
We should note in this context that, although one knows about the importance of cooperation of the patient, the need for conscious dedication, repentance, and the implementation of love, faith, prayer in his or her own right, it is still true that much good work can be done by others on behalf of people who do not know they are being helped and who perhaps would not welcome being introduced to divine healing in any case.
We should note well that someone did of course need to exercise love and faith and prayer in order to allow the Father to release His benefits in the direction requested.
