For healing? Yes, I do. Having been healed of epilepsy and the mumps, I know that God heals. I do however go to the doctor in emergency situations and sickness. As I believe God uses doctors in our healing. Always in prayer first.

2 Chronicles 7:14 KJV
He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God? Micah 6:8 KJV
Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. 1 John 3:2 KJV
I got a flu shot this past Sunday. Some would say I am not trusting God, but it was available, cheap, and responsible on MY part since I work at a school and need to do my part in not spreading germs.
Also wash my hands constantly. Someone else who doesn't believe in shots may say they do that as well... to which I say 'what is the difference?". Both are proactive physical measures to prevent the onset of sickness. If a shot is not needed because "God will protect" then He will also protect regardless of personal cleanliness. Just thought I would throw that in since I know someone will bring it up.

Amen, a lot can be prevented with hand washing.

I absolutely believe in divine healing! I've seen in happen. NO ONE will ever tell me different.
But - oh horrors! - it did involve doctors, nurses, the emergency room, LifeFlight helicopter and our local Rescue Squad.
They all played their part. But ask ANY OF THEM - including the doctor who performed the surgery on Walt. He said on the TV NEWS that he did nothing. He was ONLY the instrument that God happened to use this time. He said he had never ever seen someone survive a ruptured aortic aneurysm. Not in the whole 25+ years that he has been a vascular surgeon! Walt tried to thank him for saving his life. Dr. Schwann looked at him and with tears running down his face, said, "not this time. I don't get any credit this time at all"
YES! I believe in divine healing. And YES, I believe that God uses tools sometimes to get the job accomplished.

Those "tools" need the ministry of God's healing power as well - what a testimony will be shared as encouragement to others who are in similar situations. God is a healer and giver of life when it brings together His purpose. He is our mighty God and healer! Thank you for the testimony!
Sure. I requested prayer yesterday on this forum for my blood pressure that has been at a stroke level for over a month without impact by meds.
Today it is way down form where it was: 50 mmHg on the systolic side... so... either the meds just up and decided to start working -or- God touched me. I choose to believe the latter.
As for holiness? Absolutely, just perhaps not what some define as holiness, I am not into blind obedience to a bunch of unscriptural mandates. Though I do believe that following the Holy Ghost will result in a lot of the same things outwardly that many try to make happen with rules and regulations
