    This article examines the healings of a number of people who were prayed for by William Branham.   
    |
    *Some were healed, like [[Congressman Upshaw]],
    '''Healing''', medically, is a process whereby cells in the body regenerate or repair a damaged area.  Healing includes both the removal of necrotic tissue, and its replacement with healthy tissue. Healing may also relate to the regeneration of a healthy mental state.  
    *Some died, like [[Donny Morton]], and
    *Some had stories that were verified differently by eyewitnesses other than William Branham, like [[Florence Nightingale|Florence N. Shirlaw]].


    The Bible promises that ''the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up'' (James 5:15).  While the Bible does not clarify how the Lord will raise the sick, the testimonies on this site witness that this can happen naturally (including assistance by a doctor or medicine), supernaturally (with a slow recovery contrary to medical reasoning), and miraculously (an instantaneous recovery).  We have also included testimonies of people raised from the dead.  
    One thing is clear - the number of people that Branham [[How many people were healed in Branham's meetings?|claimed to have been healed were vastly overstated]].

    '''[[William Branham]]''' has been acknowledged by historians as the father and pacesetter of the 1940's, 50's and 60's worldwide healing revivals.  As noted in the ''Dictionary of Pentecostal and Charismatic Movements'': (<small>Zondervan, 1988, p. 372</small>)
    =Other Testimonies=


    :''The sudden appearance of his miraculous healing campaigns in 1946 set off a spiritual explosion in the Pentecostal movement which was to move to Main Street, U.S.A., by the 1950s and give birth to the broader charismatic movement in the 1960s, which currently affects almost every denomination in the country. ... `Branham filled the largest stadiums and meeting halls in the world.’ ... As the pacesetter of the healing revival, Branham was the primary source of inspiration in the development of other healing ministries. He inspired hundreds of ministers to enter the healing ministry and a multitude of evangelists paid tribute to him for the impact he had upon their work. As early as 1950, over 1,000 healing evangelists gathered at a Voice of Healing [the name of Branham’s magazine] convention to acknowledge the profound influence of Branham on the healing movement''
