have you ever heard the saying "i will believe it when i see it." physical healings you can see are a lot easier to believe in then those you cannot see. coming back from the dead is really hard to not believe in since you were dead and now you are standing and breathing. but what is hard to believe in are things like arthritis or pain relief or mental problems like depression and ect. to my experience once you have prayed for healings, many times the symptoms of the problem you had come back and if you accept that the healing did not work then your previous problem will return. why do you think the pastors and/or evangelists try and get names and testimonies of people who were healed in the service? one of the reasons is to help those who were healed to keep their healings.Again, how about a broken arm? If you heal someone's broken arm instantly, and that person doesn't "keep their healing by faith", as 7Angels said, then that arm must become re-broken because of that person's lack of faith.
So, does this happen in Scripture? Who made up these rules?
Remember, a person is "responsible to keep their healing by faith".
not to gloat but i have grown out arms and legs, cured sickness and diseases, healed back problems, and ect. there are still many things i want to do. for example raise a dead person. i know people who have raised people from the dead but i am not one of them.
i have seen people who were in wheelchairs get up and walk only to have preachers of other denominations call what happened satanic and that person believed them and ended up back in their wheelchair after being healed. i have seen tumors taken off people and because that person has suffered with tumors so long they could not believe it and we could hear them saying "i cannot believe it is gone" and watched as it came back. these two examples are documented cases that i just gave you as brief explanation of what happened. have yu ever noticed how miracles happen a lot more often in 3rd world countries then here in the usa? it is because in 3rd world nations if they do not believe they end up suffering or even dying. they cannot afford going to a doctor to be seen so they either believe or suffer and die. when they believe great miracles occur.
God bless
