Not does he still have an office for healers, not that he heals all the time, not that he has or hasn't healed you. Simple question based on the world we live in today and this time. Does God heal?

I voted yes, you may not see God healing, but that's no reason to doubt God's healing, I believe God still works in wondrous ways, and that He heals whenever He wants to.

Yes, Prayer does wonders, But according to his will only, And sometimes he says no..

l think the only way someone could answer NO to this question is if they've personally interviewed each and every one of the 7,108,892,654 people on this planet.

...and even then they couldn't use that answer with 100% confidence.

(Babies, the unborn, and a handful of politicians wouldn't be able to give them a straight answer)

We should also understand that God heals in "non-wondrous" ways through (1) the healing mechanisms He has already built into human (and non-human) physiology, (2) the multitude of healing plants and herbs He has provided mankind, and (3) through those who practice the art and science of healing. A good example is how Hezekiah was healed.

In the bible there's a few accounts of folks having leprosy, today through the wonders of science this can be cured with antibotics.

"I will add fifteen years to your life. And I will deliver you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria. I will defend this city for my sake and for the sake of my servant David." 2Kings 20:6

Hezekiah had a terminal illness and God chose to extend his life by fifteen years. Even Jesus asked God to "take this cup (the cross), from Him." everybody wants heaven but nobody wants to pay the price including me.

Good subject and thank you for letting me respond.

Well, I'm not asking babies, politicians (or are there politicians roaming on here? :eek:), or 7.5 billion people. I'm asking those on this forum, and even there, only the ones who see the question and want to answer. It's based on what we believe/know. Just one person at a time. And what each of us personally believes.

Fair enough.
My answer is Yes. Without a doubt.

Answering No, would be limiting God.
Our minds can only grasp a small part of His unlimited power, will and love for us.


l can only imagine the answers if you gave the option "maybe"
Probably would have kicked up the responses a notch. lol.

2Co 1:19  For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, whom we proclaimed among you, Silvanus and Timothy and I, was not Yes and No, but in him it is always Yes. 


2Co 1:20  For all the promises of God find their Yes in him. That is why it is through him that we utter our Amen to God for his glory.

Absolutely. I have been prayed for when I had the flu, and as the person (my husband) was praying for me, I actually felt a weight leave my body. I was totally, instantly fine.

I also believe that I have been healed many many times although it was more of a progressive one.

I have also been in conferences where I saw people healed (and knew they were not plants). I felt the power of the Lord for healing in the room. It felt like a weight was settling on me also.

And I have been used while praying for many people and there was instant relief for them (sore knees, breathing problems, sore arms, etc.). I also felt a power flowing from me and knew that Jesus was using my hands to touch them.

I have also prayed for others and nothing happened.

Jesus said that we would do the same works that He did. I'm still learning that it is a lot of moving "with Him" through discernment. Sometimes I just KNOW He wants to heal at the moment. Many times there is more of a "knowing" that the sick person needs to be counseled. Many other issues are being dealt with such as bitterness, anger, unforgiveness, etc. and they want an instant fix instead of dealing with underlying problems.

A bit of humor here.

When I read, "I saw people healed (and knew they were not plants)," I immediately pictured cartoon characters. Somewhere between very tall bundles of cornstalks or even taller bundles of wheat wearing sunglasses and happy grins. And then they dissolved into human cartoon characters with even bigger grins clicking their heels in joy. Why? Because you "knew they weren't plants."



(1001 ways I can misunderstand a sentence, before correcting myself. lol)

Yes, but not always. A healer preacher like Osborne die, all apostle die.
