1:42. As soon as He had spoken, immediately the leprosy left him, and he was cleansed.
Physical illness is leprosy which is hard even impossible to be cured.
Spiritual illness is spritual leprosy, self truth. Self truth is covering sin with blaming others. The right attitude is confessing each other and forgiving each other.
Self truth also refers to life who easily grumbles, dealing with angel of death. Healing power brings us for giving thanks to God always. - Preservation power of God miraculously in the middle of world crisis.
Mark 6:34, 37, 41-42

7:13. When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said to her, "Do not weep."
7:14. Then He came and touched the open coffin, and those who carried him stood still. And He said, "Young man, I say to you, arise."
7:15. So he who was dead sat up and began to speak. And He presented him to his mother.
God's Hand of compassion is able to rise what has already been dead physically (work, study, marriage and children, etc) and spiritually.
God rises spiritually= God is able to rise our life who has already been destroyed in sin, being changed into golden pot that had manna. We become the bride who can greet God's second coming on the gloriuos cloud.
Changing of life started from no hatred and no lie.
- Healing power from physical and spiritual illness.
