Question:

1. Can you please explain the parable of the sheep and the goats?
2. Why do some ministers need to fast and pray to heal others for an effective healing? Isn’t healing from God? Can’t we just simply pray and ask?

Answer: Dear Henn,

1. The sheep and the goats of Matthew 25 is a parable of separation – of judgment – there are basic lessons being taught, not times, dates, and specifics.
2. God heals – both spiritually and physically. The Bible says that Christians are part of the priesthood of all believers – that is, while pastors, priests, and ministers have official duties and responsibilities, their prayers are not "worth" more than anyone else’s.
