Emulating Jesus

Acts 28:7-9 NIV
There was an estate nearby that belonged to Publius, the chief official of the island. He welcomed us to his home and showed us generous hospitality for three days. His father was sick in bed, suffering from fever and dysentery. Paul went in to see him and, after prayer, placed his hands on him and healed him. When this had happened, the rest of the sick on the island came and were cured.

Paul emulates Jesus.

Like 4:40 NIV (and similarly, Matt. 8:16)
At sunset, the people brought to Jesus all who had various kinds of sickness, and laying his hands on each one, he healed them.

I now believe that healing ministry is available for all believers, and some are especially gifted.  So, how do we grow in maturity in knowing when and how to heal people.

Heavenly Father, thank you for these examples.  Holy Spirit, please show me the way.  I love you, and I ask in the name of Jesus.
