hn of God is a man with no medical degree and little formal education. Yet the controversial faith healer performs surgeries in an effort to help the sick and dying. In this clip from an episode of “Oprah’s Next Chapter,” John of God tells Oprah why he is able to cut into people’s bodies and how it feels when he does so.
Through an interpreter, John of God says that, as a spiritual medium, his body incorporates the spirits of deceased healers. These healers — whom John of God calls “entities” — are the ones performing the surgeries, he says.
