Healing

[truthbringer]

Can anyone tell why some people receive healing and others dont

It has to do with the will of God and bringing glory to Him and His purposes being fulfilled. Beyond that, I don't think there is a good answer.

Time and again we see in the New Testament Jesus heal many and tell them their faith has made them whole. Yes God does work thru these circumstances for His ultimate glory, but Jesus healed all who came to Him.

Do you know the answer to the OP? Why doesn't He now?

I believe He does. The Bible tells us God is the same, yesterday,today, and forever. Like Jesus said many times in the NT, according to your faith be it unto you. BY your faith you are healed. So what's the problem today? More sin, more serious diseases, less true faith? I don't know. IMO it goes case by case. I have seen miraculous healings, instantly, others over a small period of time that blew doctors minds, some thru prayer and fasting, and others I'm still believing for.

Because GOD is soveriegn and HE decides.

GOD still heals today. I have seen it first hand.

My back was healed - I've had a slouch problem all my life and sometime in the past ten years developed scholiosis. Now I have no problems sitting up straight and the curvature is gone!

But I have other physical conditions that weren't healed.

I acknowledge that faith is an essential component of healing, but God may also chose to use faith in a negative circumstance to mature us rather than heal us. I would be careful of any argument which implies that a person not healed lacked the necessary faith.

God has given us His word and His Holy Spirit to mature us, A loving God wouldn't make anyone suffer to bring them to matureity.

This is what the Bible says;

1 Peter 1:6 ...Though now for a little while, IF NEED BE, you have been grieved by various trials that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though "it is tested by fire", may be found to praise honor, and glory at the revelationof JESUS CHRIST.

I think the verse says that GOD will let people suffer, butHE doesn't make them suffer.

The Bible also says that GOD is faithful when we are faithless. Since faith is a gift from GOD and one of the gifts of the holy spirit, it is not likely that GOD would determine whether to heal a person based on whether HE gave them enough faith to recieve it.

Try to remember that in the days of JESUS the Holy Spirit had not yet come in HIS fullness.
