I'm not sure it's necessary to give a name to the healing power Jesus had. Even Christians who insist that it's 'the power of the Spirit' are left to explain what that 'power' is that the Spirit gives.
I mean, are there simply higher powers above this physical plane -- perhaps even within this physical plane -- that God enabled Jesus to use? Or did the Spirit sort of come in like a multi-functional power, able to do whatever Jesus wanted to do? Do you get what I mean? In other words, our body has natural healing power? Does a certain kind of energy -- directed at someone who needs healing -- make that healing happen at high speed? Or is this simply 'God energy' that could have done any kind of miracle and healing happened to be what it did?
