Does God Still Heal People? It honestly seems like Miracles are NOT Common
Many people may ask: “why does God make bad things happen?” Some may ask why a Loving God wouldn’t just stop all diseases and illnesses. I can tell you that based on my experiences with some diseases, if He healed you, unless you do what He has told us, those diseases will come right back. Furthermore, if he heals one disease for example asthma and you still have acne, diabetes, high blood pressure, are you aware they most likely have the same root cause? If you ask Him; “God please get rid of my Asthma…” His response very well could be: “My child, of course I can, but first you only mention that specific disease, if I healed you of asthma, the rest will be right there unhealed and they are all there because you don’t eat the way I have ordained all my children to eat. If you eat the right way, ALL your diseases will leave you. Besides, let’s say I did get rid of the asthma, all the junk you eat will bring it right back. I have set rules in a way that when they are obeyed, it will be well with those who follow them. However, those who deviate from them will have to pay the penalty!” Nonetheless, it should still be noted that perhaps out of His mercies, God has intervened and healed some people of the specific disease they asked to be healed from. However, for such few exceptions where the Good Lord chooses to “have mercy on who he will have mercy…” (Romans 9:15), it should still be noted that they could very well be left susceptible to other illnesses. Why? First, because they asked to be healed of that one disease, secondly, their diets and lifestyles have not changed to prevent other illnesses. Moreover, even if one person is healed out of fervent prayer and divine intervention, suffice it to say it may very well be only that person that is healed (again, of an exact disease), while his or her loved ones could very well remain vulnerable to illnesses. Dear Friends, let’s be realistic about this. That being stated, it is noteworthy that close to 7 out of 10 prayer requests in an average church are about sickness! Furthermore, let's be honest, how come is it that the attendants of most churches are just as sick as the rest of the people in their communities? In other words, why are Christians just as sick as non-Christians? Well, the answer may lay in what God himself shows as the link between our poor health as Christians and the disregard for His laws in this verse: "But their children, too, rebelled against me. They refused to keep my decrees and follow my regulations, even though obedience would have given them life.” Ezekiel 20:21 With that being said, it is time for a wakeup call in the community and the general population at large. When it comes to the physical body, we have been given the wrong information by the mass media, years of misinformation, propaganda and dogma. God did not make us to be constantly
ill and sick. Again, we get sick because we are eating the wrong diet, which is the world's diet that is the total opposite of God's instructions-most of the time. God is a God of Order and the existence of the universe is a testimony of that. Therefore, unless He wants to do otherwise as He has at times, He mostly sticks to what he has ordained as guidelines. Seasons come and seasons go, there’s daylight and night time, everything happens and rotates around God’s specific laws and this applies to health and diet. Therefore, what He has decreed in the past is exactly what will and should be done as they apply. God says it best himself in Isaiah 55: 11- “So is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.” Now, keeping that in mind, it’s very telling that even religious teachers sometimes lead people to think that God may be hardhearted, cold or the one who creates the trials and tribulations we may be facing in regards to health. However, the Bible has this to say about religious teachers who could be well intentioned but are just unaware about basic guidelines in the Bible for health. It is as follows: Ezekiel 22: 26 “Your priests have violated my instructions and defiled my holy things. They make no distinction between what is holy and what is not. And they do not teach my people the difference between what is ceremonially clean and unclean. “ At this stage, I do not want this to be seen as an attack against religious teachers as I truly believe that most are well meaning and sincerely may not be aware of such health laws in the Bible or are misinformed in regards to them. I doubt that any good intentioned pastor or church leader, as it applies, would intentionally mislead or withhold information from their congregation if it will benefit the church and they themselves, including their own loved ones. So, in regards to health and what the Bible says about our well being, perhaps some well meaning Church leaders or religious teachers just do not know about such issues, but are indeed well versed and learned on other topics of the bible. However, remember what St. Paul says in Romans 12:6 “In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well…” So, I may be endowed with more knowledge than the average person on God’s health guidelines in the Bible, while others may very well be more versed on other aspects of the Bible than I am. Therefore, based on what it says in 1 Corinthians 12 in regards to spiritual gifts and the body of Christ and how we should work together to build the body, if you are a church leader or religious teacher of sorts, or if you are in contact with any such person, just so we can work together to improve our health, please read what this book has to offer.
It definitely can’t hurt to use the information in this article for our well being and could in fact help immensely.
In Friendship,
