I decided to read the book, Kingdom of the Occult, by Walter Martin, and several other writers. There's some interesting information in the book but I kind of wondered about a paragraph concerning William Branham under the section called psychic phenomena.

Here's the passage:

Quote:

William Marrion Branham (1909-1965), was an American psychic healer who traveled from one end of the country to the other, preaching a variety of gospels and laying hands on people in an effort to heal them. Some miraculous healings did occur, all carefully chronicled. When asked in an interview if the Holy Spirit was responsible for the healing, Branham admitted that his "angel" did it. This angel told Branham what to say and do, and he ended up denying the Holy Trinity and many other Christian doctrines. "Not one place in the Bible was trinity ever mentioned....It's Catholic error, and you Protestants bow to it."


While I believe many healings took place back at that time, I don't understand the situation concerning an "angel" being the one coming to do the healing. I remember reading that William Branham stated once that he never could do anything until the "angel" showed up at his meetings.

No where in the Gospels do we find angels doing the healing, but we only see healing done by faith in Jesus Christ.

Either way I'm only showing what Walter Martin is pointing out in his book. I don't know if this could be truly labeled as psychic healing though.
