The provided text is an excerpt from a Desiring God "Ask Pastor John" episode, where John Piper addresses a listener's scepticism regarding modern healing ministries. The listener, Dana, references John 14:12—where Jesus says believers will do "greater works"—and asks how this promise relates to contemporary faith healers. Piper clarifies that John 14:12 applies to all believers and refers to the greater work of pointing people to the crucified and risen Christ for the forgiveness of sins, not necessarily physical miracles. Piper advises Dana to assess healing ministries based on five critical questions, including their theological beliefs, whether healing is their ultimate goal, if they claim healing is always God's will, if they value physical wholeness over treasuring Christ through suffering, and whether she has sought prayer from her church elders. He concludes by noting that "gifts of healing" are distributed by the Holy Spirit and are not exclusive to specific "faith healers."
