[quote]The medium, Joao, allows designated spirit entities to work through him (St. Ignatius being one of the main ones) to do visible and invisible operations, cures and treatments of the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies. Many who flock to Joao have run out of medical options. At the Casa, there is a whole room full of discarded wheel chairs, walkers and canes.[/quote]

... I heard he used 7 dead doctors as well. Is that bad? He often gives a penance deal too which is weird. Like my mom watched the special on him and he made a couple for 40 days not drink cofee or soda, nor have sex. I think there was more but what do you guys think of him?... I personally believe his healings arent neccisarilty of God.

i'm convinced there's something going on, i'm also convinced it's nothing good.

It isn't from God. the mediums attest to that much. God doesn't need them and wouldn't use them. plus the methods are bad. he lets a spirit possess him... i wouldnt go near him to save my life...

the last article was obviously biased for him calling him the greatest healer in 2000 years... surely that's not an attempt to set him up as the second coming...

i agree with you but why does he give penances. Is it possible he's going against Gods will without knowing it?

I would stay away from this guy as far as possible. God specifically forbids this type of thing(channeling of spirits) so it can't be coming from God because God doesn't contradict himself. There is a possibility that something supernatural is occuring there but I'm convinced it isn't from God. Remember the devil is tricky so things can appear good on the surface but are in fact dangerous.

I feel for all those people seeking this guy out because they indeed are suffering very much and would like to alleviate that suffering. But better stick to prayer and traditional forms of medicine then to dabble in such practices.
