The Healer ending explained

Alec has a dream about his brother Charlie who died of cancer. He then wonders if he could have saved Abigail had he not given up the gift of healing. Alec then begs for his uncle Raymond to give him his healing gift back. Raymond tells Alec that he needs to talk to God about this. Alec then runs to church to get his gift back and calls God an idiot. The next day, Alec learns that Abigail has gone into remission.

At the ending of The Healer, Alec runs into Raymond where Raymond asks him if he’s ever noticed anything odd about himself. That is when Alec realizes that he is The Healer. At the ending of the movie, the audience gets to see Alec’s portrait on the wall indicating that he had this gift from the start as the dog also behaves weirdly with him. The ending of The Healer falls just short of making it clear that God is capable of magical healing. Instead, it leaves fans wondering about the same.
