I’m not sure that one works smvoice. Jesus also said we could do things in His name. That gives us power of attorney if you will. Jesus is indeed the mediator between God the Father and man but when we do things in Jesus name we have His power. A sobering thought when thinking of using that power.

You’re right, of course. All I was saying is that each one of us has His power. We have no need of going through another person to get to His power. As an example, a “divine healer” is one who we are going THROUGH in order to get God’s healing. Something that we can take directly to God ourselves, and according to His WILL, not the middle man’s “power” are we healed, or not. Same thing with tongues, and prophecy. THere are no middle men who have a power that others do not possess. We are just as capable of taking it directly to God than anyone else for us. To go to a healer to ask him to pray to God for our healing is to put him between us and God. To think that God would grant to him something He would not grant to us directly is to put the healer in the position of being the vessel God uses for our healing. Or any miracles, signs or wonders that someone claims they have been given the ability to perform by God.
