How Faith Healers Fool You
Why do miracles work sometimes? When a faith healer causes your pain to go away, what’s really going on? Explore the science of faith healing and the psychological tricks that preachers use to convince you that you’ve been miraculously healed. Today former-evangelical actress and author Alice Greczyn joins me to uncover the secret tricks of faith healers and how they use your brain against you. What is the neuroscience behind faith healings? Are you really being healed, or is there a psychological explanation?

Why should the rest of civilized society put up with such obvious scam artists?
Funny how these people claim Freemasonry is Satanic! Don’t hear about the Masonic Lodge using tiny receivers in their ears. Or begging for $$, in between constantly lying to people. Christians just can’t stop lying! Claim evil is everywhere, EXCEPT in themselves!
You dont even have to be skeptical its just such obvious bs
UNLESS THERE IS OUTRIGHT HERESY DENYING CHRISTS DEITY AND THE RESURRECTION, every ministry has seen countless people saved, healed and blessed. To everything there is a season. Don’t you guys have anything better to do??? Can’t we just let God ALONE be the Righteous Judge? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE SHUT UP AND STOP DIVIDING THE CHURCH! Is God big enough or does He need your help??? Crickets
I just want to let everyone know benny hinn and people in this movement are NOT Christians!!!!!!!!!!!These are all pagans disguised as Christians.This is unfortunately the reason people turn away from Christ.
God bless.
Though many Christians would never admit, Christ himself speaks out against faith healers and charlatans. In fact in Matthew chapter 25 he equates them with scavengers picking at a carcass. All of these faith healers had better hope that their God isn’t real because he might have a few choice words for them
It is unfortunate that the presenters of this video are equating faith healers, which are among the same pentecostals that speak in false tongues, with true orthodox Christianity. This video could have easily been made by former Mormans or Jehovah’s Witnesses who believed they were following true Christianity as well. But these people were raised in the Pentecostal cult. It is all they knew, and were not actually seeking Christ when they left Pentecostalism.
I have a friend who absolutely despises and fears cults. However, she belongs to one…the cult of Benny Hinn. She flies all over the country to listen and see him preach is BS. Wastes thousands of dollars every year for travel expenses to attend. But, she denies she a cult follower.
The bible warns of False Teachers and as a Christian, I can say without a doubt that Benny Hinn, Rodney Howard Browne, Kenneth Hagin, Kenneth Copeland are preaching a false prosperity gospel. They are doing a lot of harm to the name of Christ but Gods word tells us that men like these would come. That is why we do not throw out the baby with the bath water.
Faith healing is a joke,absolute hogwash.people have a general need to be brainwashed .love it when they are being conned .people allow themselves to be mugged for their money.
They do the same with addicts and alcoholics. Rather than try to convince a person with mental health issues and substance use to seek professional help, they claim it can be healed. I’m going to be putting in my novel a part of my life where some stupid church told me I was evil rather than helping me to get help. It’s always great to see the old members who left that church actually live life after the brainwash.
People are going to die. Everyone doesn’t get healed every time. If it was true we wouldn’t have graveyards

We did this faith healing nonsense in the Mormon church.
I both gave and received faith healings on numerous occasions.
To be fair to the Mormons, their version isn’t as off the wall insane with the screaming and dancing and babbling nonsense like these nutjobs.
Their’s are typically much more sober, usually just a couple of people in private, praying over the individual, and certainly not for direct pay. (Other than the tithing requires to be in good standing with the church.)
It’s not like the Mormon version is any more "real" or "true’ than this circus show, but at least they take it seriously and treat it as something "sacred."
And they tyoically don’t promote it as an actual replacement for medical attention when required.
They’re still completely wrong, of course, but this stuff is just off the wall crazy nonsense.
If God wants you in heaven, why would he delay your arrival? Why would you want it delayed if that is your ultimate goal?
thank you very very much for nothing NOTHING TO BE BETTER OR NOTHING TO MAKE ME HAPPY .YOU ARE HURT OUR FRIENDS AND FAMILIES THANK YOU VERY MUCH
People like that need to be locked up and fined
"Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence"

These frauds are obvious, just look at the big bouncers they keep by their side in case someone goes off on them.
Not sure how someone could fall for something so obviously fraudulent. There is no agree to disagree and just accept everyones beleifs. If you are delusional enough to believe this you are a danger to the rest of society.
This guy must have an office down at the local hospital right?
If youre a faith healer and a man of God, go ply your trade in a children’s hospital or a cancer ward. Despicable people.
A magician James Randi documentary says healer’s staffs carefully choose the believers go to the stage. Seems like a dictators choosing his yes men. Yes Its ancient, tribal & Shamanism..May be the future will be different kind of Ai schools of healing powers & religions, & hope digital Ai fightings are less harmful.
Wow, this is great.
The years after the intensity where everything begins to turn sick is really important to talk about
It must really be embarrassing if a man went there looking for a cure for his erectile dysfunction and had to tell the pastor about it .

Americans literally believe in anything, its shocking how the greatest country in the world lacks basic education.
Many false teachers will arise and deceive many!!!
Yet these things have to come about, it is in the dividing between the sheep and goats for the final cull, that they all might be found without excuse!
"Why be afraid, man is man-made" – Keith Emerson
So that mean healing is not real
The question is who found out that the body was working like that in the church? When did it start to be used? Are this "pastors" being trained during their seminars?
And these Americans vote for a President etc -very scary !!!
your positive thoughts can generate high vibrations, prompting your body to release beneficial enzymes and hormones. When you release these feelings of faith, joy, and love with purity and gratitude, there’s a significant potential to amplify the effects of these enzymes. This approach can often be more effective than relying solely on pharmaceutical interventions.
It’s a truth that Jesus emphasized, but many have been misled by temptations like power, greed, and pride. Even those capable of great things can be derailed by negative influences, leading to confusion and doubt. So, it’s crucial to discern between genuine spiritual practices and superficial distractions."
This is how my sister was tricked
I once watched a segment from The 700 Club about a boy who was miraculously "cured" of his autism. When you watch the interview with him, though, you can very clearly see that he’s not neurotypical. The only difference is that he has learned to better compensate for any challenges his condition causes him.
I really loved your book, "Wayward", Alice!
Why does an all powerful god need to use a puny human as a vessel to free people of disease?
I was called out in the crowd at the church and he said you there with the glasses on scratch in your face with the leather jacket come up here God’s going to kill heal your eye. Well he prayed for me and my eye was no longer blurry! God does heal
Its all a trick playin with your emotions
that’s what I sometimes say as well don’t drink the koolaid
Ken Copeland is the worst! He’s the devil incarnate!
Your channel is wonderful. I grew up in a Pentecostal church that did faith healings but until I found this channel there wasn’t any other source that I found which could so accurately relay back to me what I experienced. This video in particular describes what I went through to a tee.
I never experienced a faith healing myself in 20 years going to that GD church, which helped me stay skeptical and eventually escape. I’m mildly autistic as well which is probably why based on the information in this video, and obviously that was never cured either.
Thank you for the work you do. It’s so helpful and informative for people like me.
