Since my post on healing I have received some replies about someone who wasn't healed. I too used to have the same question but I really feel God has given me the answer. First let's look at the following verses: John 14:10 Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you are not just my own. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. John 14:11 Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the miracles themselves. John 14:12 I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. John 14:13 And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. John 14:14 You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it. We see that if we have faith in Jesus that we can do greater things than Jesus did. Jesus did many miracles. They are so supernatural that it boggles the mind! What is even more suprising is that Jesus said that WE could do even greater things! Why isn't it though that we see such great miracles all the time. I beleive the reason has to do with us. We don't have the perfect faith Jesus had. Jesus never doubted like we do. Also Jesus allways had a word of knowledge into why the person was sick. If the sickness was becasue of sin He would forgive them. If the sickness was because of demons then he would cast out the demon. That is why I beleive it to be important to ask God what is causing the sickness and to deal with the problem. Jesus has promised us that IF we have the faith in Him that we can do great works for the glory of God! This is a promise. Just because we don't allways see what we expect don't invalidate the word just trust in His word and pray for the faith to do God's will. In His Love, Eric.
