Jesus never sent anyone to a Dr. or a counselor, it was all spiritual and cast out to produce healing, even today we are to cast out the spirit of infirmity in Jesus name, now that He indwells the believer who is born again and Spirit filled.
Of course He can work through these people to alleviate suffering as it is His desire for all of us to be whole, in health, and restored.
In this modern age ( of course there is NOTHING new under the sun) we have been deceived by the original liar to think it is viral, bacterial, genetic, mental, etc. when in reality it is of the adversary who ONLY seeks to steal, kill and destroy, in this case the spiritually demented young man took lives and forfeited his own.
Most who have allowed themselves to become this spiritually deceived and lost we don't see, they are institutionalized, incarcerated or dead, as is this one.
We had a person who "saw" a group of little people who were herded around by the patient with an imaginary stick, and if one of those little people said to kill you, that patient would do so, or attempt.
This is the result of a life of inviting sin and allowing it to grow until it reaches the climax.
It all starts with our thought life, and as Dr. Caroline Leaf teaches, most people don't think about what they think about.
After salvation we must ALL renew our minds to see his creation as He sees it and find and walk out His plan for our lives.
