[bit.listserv.christia] Why isn't everyone healed?

EWS2304@TAMVENUS (CATMAN) (02/03/90)

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.
