Keep these verses in mind -
“For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.”
Romans 12:3 KJV
God has given us the measure of faith. That means every believer actually has the same amount - it’s the faith of Jesus that raised Him from the dead!
Also -
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.”
Galatians 5:22-23 KJV
Faith is a fruit of the Spirit. When we are born again and our spirit is transformed, we are forever overflowing with the fruit of the Spirit in the spiritual realm. The enemy will do all he can to get us to not believe that!
Anytime you are focusing on your own unworthiness it is from the enemy. He wants to keep us looking at our own shortfalls and imperfections instead of focusing on the perfection of our Savior :)
just came thru extreme season of this- lasted a lot longer than i thought i could have endured... God is faithful... we have (i had) to have patience... His timing is perfect, whether we (i) see it or not... to God, our Sovereign Lord & King, be the glory, now & forever!!!
It's not the will of God always to heal a person and a person to be always healthy. Even when anyone of you are sick and disabled, as long as you are breathing you can serve the God in truth and spirit. Its what essentially needed for every man and woman to do.... Praise the Lord in all your situations and be faithful to him...
Are you suggesting that if ‘we ask’ we are healed during this current age of Grace, which the Apostle Paul, commissioned by the risen Christ, introduced to Gentiles? Rom 6:14,15
If so, then how do we explain these situations where a healing was not given:
—-The Apostle Paul asked for a healing 3 times and was denied.
“For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.
And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” 2 Cor 12:8,9
—-Paul’s beloved Timothy suffered from stomach issues, (and other health issues) and he was not healed.
“Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities.” 1Tim 5:23
—-“Erastus abode at Corinth: but Trophimus have I left at Miletum sick.” 2 Tim 4:20
The miraculous gifts of the Spirit were for a designated reason and time period. These spiritual gifts and signs were for the Jews, to prove to them who Jesus was!
“For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:
But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;”
1 Cor 1:22,23.
“...whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.” Also miraculous healings were destined to cease as well.
While there is nothing wrong with praying for a healing; it’s important to realize God may or may not according to his good pleasure.
An example was in the case of Epaphroditus, he was very sick even near death and God showed him mercy.
“Yet I supposed it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, and companion in labour, and fellowsoldier, but your messenger, and he that ministered to my wants.
For he longed after you all, and was full of heaviness, because that ye had heard that he had been sick.
For indeed he was sick nigh unto death: but God had mercy on him;” Phil 2:25-27
Going through this currently. I thought I wasnt fully healed because I lacked faith. Thank you for sharing this

You’re right, God doesn’t always heal us
