Christians. Could you be wrong?

There is a story in the Bible about Jesus meeting a Samaritan woman at a well and revealing to her the sin she was keeping secret (she had something like 5 husbands).

Earlier I posted an old video (recorded sometime in the 1950's) of a man doing exactly the same thing. In case you haven't seen it: When people would come up to the stage to be healed, he, having never met the person, could tell them what sickness they had, name, and address ect.

This isn't done to showoff, it's done because divine healing is operated by faith (scientific studies using placebos show this). And gift of discernment makes it easier for the person to believe.

Explain what one has to do with the other?

Everything must work according to scripture, for example; you may be familiar with a story in the Bible about a woman that was healed just by touching Jesus's robe.

Luke 8

---

43 And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any,
44 Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched.
45 And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?
46 And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me.
47 And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.
48 And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.

We see that after the woman touched him she was healed, not by him but by her faith, but it also had the effect of making him weak, since he stated that the virtue (strength) had left him.

So if Jesus was made weak by someone operating their faith through him, what would it do to a normal human? On the video of William Branham you hear him say that he gets weak. Here's another quote from him transcribed from an audio recording August 8, 1950.

They used to come through here, and people... They'd send me out there to be--let me pray for the sick. I'd get so weak I couldn't stand up. Then two men, one on one side, one on the other, would hold me there, let the people come by and lay their hands on me.

Here is a picture of him being held up because he's too weak to stand on his own

So of course there are going to be "evangelists' imitating the real thing, but the fact that they feel no effects is totally contrary to the Bible.
