Healing is a specific medical problem cured completely. Having a warm feeling in a back that was sore that morning is not a healing. Having a finger grow back that was amputated, that is healing. Having sight restored is healing. Having documented cancer going away completely (not just in remission for a few days), that is healing. All of these can be confirmed medically - and not just by the patient's testimony after a service. I am sure they are still feeling the rush and thinking that they are healed, until they get wheeled back out of the church again in their wheelchairs or still hobbling on their crutches...

I agree Jerry. We should be very discerning when it comes to signs and wonders in the end times.
From Way of life Encyclopedia, (I added the full scripture)
The signs and wonders spoken of for the last hours are deceiving signs. Consider some Scriptures:
Quote:

Matthew 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

2 Thessalonians 2:7-9 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

Revelation 13:13-14 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.

In light of these warnings it is crucial that the Christian be wary of any signs or wonders movement in these last hours. The signs and wonders movement prophesied in Scripture for the hours prior to Christ's return is one of demonic deception.
