Must Doubters Leave the Room Before I Minister Healing?

It isn’t required, but it’s easier on both you and the person you minister to if the doubters are not around to pollute the room with their unbelief.

In some cases, Jesus or one of His followers made people who weren’t strong in faith leave or took the person in need away from the people who were weak in faith.  These cases are listed near the beginning of the article Get Away from Unbelief.  There were cases where Jesus ministered successfully in front of hostility.  These are listed toward the end of Get Away from Unbelief.

So all is not lost if unbelieving people around you are in despair, begging God to intervene when you know that He already has.  Stay as sweet as you can, but don’t compromise.  If you start praying like Sister Panicbutton just to get along, you will get the same results she gets – none.

If you know in advance you will be in a situation like that, it would be a good time to pray for boldness, which the apostles did successfully in Acts 4:29-33.  Then go speak the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15).
