Why isn\u2019t every sick person who is prayed over healed? We don\u2019t know, and God doesn\u2019t tell us. We know that doubt and unbelief can hinder His miracle-working power in our lives. When Jesus returned to His hometown to those who knew Him best, we read: \u2018He did not do many miracles there because of their lack of faith.\u2019<\/i> (Matthew 13:58 NIV) <\/p>\n
But there are aspects of healing we will never fully understand. Paul writes, \u2018I left Trophimus sick in Miletus.\u2019<\/i> (2 Timothy 4:20 NIV) Why would Paul, who raised the dead, leave a friend sick instead of praying and seeing him healed? <\/p>\n
There are many things about God we don\u2019t know, but here\u2019s one thing we do<\/i> know: \u2018I am the Lord, who heals you.\u2019<\/i> And since He said, \u2018I am the Lord, and I do not change\u2019<\/i> (Malachi 3:6 NLT), and \u2018Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever\u2019<\/i> (Hebrews 13:8 NIV), we can go to Him for healing based on His Word. One of the last statements Jesus made before leaving earth was: \u2018These signs will follow those who believe\u2026 they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.\u2019<\/i> (Mark 16:17\u201318 NKJV) <\/p>\n
Do you believe God still heals people today? If you do, then obey this Scripture: \u2018Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up.\u2019 <\/i> (James 5:14\u201315 NKJV) The word for you today is: don\u2019t give up\u2014believe God for your healing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
