Question

Was the commission to heal the sick and cast out devils given only to the apostles?

Answer

Maybe there would be someone who wouldn’t believe in Divine healing. I wonder what you’d think of this: the first commission that Jesus gave the Church was to heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the leper, cast out devils, freely as you receive, freely give. The first commission was ever give to the apostles—to the Church. Not only the apostles. You said, “That was just the apostles.” I beg your pardon. There’s seventy of them, not just apostles. Someone said the other day, “That the power only come to apostles.” It was give to whosoever will, he that believeth, not to the apostles. There was seventy sent that wasn’t apostles. Philip was not apostle, and he went down to Samaria, and cast out devils, and healed the lunatics, and had joy and shouting and screaming and going on to the city down there, and he wasn’t apostle. He was a deacon. He wasn’t even a preacher, and he had signs following his ministry. To demonstrate the power of God is preaching the Gospel.
