I'm glad he was healed. But I've heard testimonies of women taking their hair down and spreading it over sick children believing that they would be healed because of the fact she was "obedient" in not having cut her hair.
I believe we can refer to these kind of things when we pray. I've prayed before reminding God of obedience and sacrifice and faithfulness but not every prayer is always answered because of these things.
Neither does my obedience, yieldedness, submission, sacrifice protect me against catastrophe or sickness nor does it ward off such.

I don't cut my hair and have no desire to, but do NOT believe in laying my hair on someone for healing or salvation or any other purpose. That is just too spooky for me...
It is almost making my uncut hair the healer and it's ridiculous. The healing is in Jesus Christ and my faith in HIS power.

Obedience to a teaching/command that in my understanding of scripture doesn't exist.

True!!!
I have read about faith healing people many times in the bible but never uncut hair.

Yes well OGIA doesn't believe that this lady had any confidence in her hair ..... it was a matter of her having confidence in the fact that because she had been obedient and hadn't cut her hair that God favoured her and answered prayer.
But then, why did she feel she should spread her hair over her child and referred to it as a "veil of protection"???

Sounds like she had read a book to me and it wasn't the book of the bible.
