1. It is the supernatural, Divine power of God, infused into human bodies, renewing their strength and replacing the weakness and suffering human frames by the life and power of God. It is a touch of the Divine omnipotence, and nothing short of it...
2. It is founded, not on the [illegible] of man, or on the testimony of those who have been healed, but on the Word of God alone. All the testimony that could be gathered from the whole universe would not establish the truth of such a doctrine, if it is not to be found in the Scriptures...
3. It ever recognizes the will of God, and bows to that profound submission. A Christian who is looking for Divine healing will wait till he knows the will of God, and having learned that, he will claim it without wavering. If the sufferer is convinced that the work God gave him to do is done, and that now he is called home, then he should acquiesce in that will and lie down in those blessed arms and rest...
-- A.B. Simpson, The Four-fold Gospel
