This is the ignorance of some Christians. To think God only heals physically in a miraculous way. That our faith determines our fate on this subject.
Makes no sense to me.
God also gives knowledge and abilities to people . Medicines from the earth.
Now the Lord doesn't need x-ray machines, testing to diagnose, a given time to heal. All he needs is to speak the word. If that's what he has chosen to witness to others. That's right others. All gifts our not for us personally. They are to witness to others.
Read and reread job again, Satan's challenge was if God removed the hedge how job would curse him to his face.
God is great....when all is good. But ....how about when his children are afflicted. When they are financially challenged, mentally depressed, physically impaired, ect.
Jesus said to the crowd that followed him....you follow me because I fed you...they followed no more.
Yeah God is good very good....but how great is your God when that hedge is taken away.....when the doctor says I'm sorry nothing more to do.
Stevens death was believed to be very instrumental in pauls conversion. Not his life....his death.
This lack of faith belief has destroyed many believers. .....I wasn't healed so God doesn't love or care for me. I have to much sin in my life God will not heal me. I guess I wasn't chosen. Wow sure puts a damper on unconditional love.

Well, when I saw everyone had voted "yes" yesterday, I was tempted to vote "no!" Just because I could. LOL
But that would not be honest or ethical! God heals in many ways, and a lot of times, that isn't physical. And sometimes it is! I know my health has been gradually improving the last 6-10 months or so. God is using the doctors, and medicine to bring about healing. And I know this is an answer to the prayers of many people on my behalf!
So would it lack class, to ask that God would heal my pelvis/hips on this thread? Besides RA damage, tendon issues, I had a bad fall last October. Apparently I dislocated my shoulder at that time, last week a chiropractor put it back in place. Oh the joy to be rid of that grinding pain. And, not coincidently, I was crying out to God to stop the pain that week!
So please pray God will either miraculously heal my hips, of whatever is wrong, or the kindly chiropractor or someone else will figure out what is wrong.
Ultimately, God is in control. Pain has taught me that! But also, knowing God's healing touch!

God, the same yesterday ,today, and forever. his word never changes. a lot of Christians in this day and age hate to admit that the problem for not healing ,and casting out devils is lack of faith. Healing the sick, casting out demons, raising the dead and many other things are all miracles. It has not ended.ST. MARK;9; 39; Forbid him not; for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me..40; For he that is not against us is on our part. ACTS;19 ;11; And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul; 12; So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons,and the deseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them.

Our minds need to align with heaven.
I read your post.
We are all at various stages in our walk. Many times God uses the earthly family to illustrate heavens reality.
When my children were growing up various responsibilities were placed on them at stages of maturity.
Same thing with us.
I can get away with nothing. Why? Because I have been taken too deep into HIM. Into his presence,into understanding,into knowledge,into ministry.
I have to grow up,be submissive to moulding by the potter,refining by fire,beaten by the master metalworker into something useful.
That is why sometimes we see failure in the faith department.
While we are bucking up over an actual roadblock,lack of faith,( which is so obvious that the bible is literally screaming that shortcoming),lack of knowledge that faith is key,and coddling believers over their hurt feelings thinking anything involving faith is just mean,sickness and health issues flourish.
What we really see in " irrevokable" healings in mature believers,for the most part,is God healing us IN SPITE OF our out and out rebellion in believing his word is true.
Case in point. We see many folks invoking the " how dare you say faith has something to do with it".
Do those people know their bibles?
No,they absolutely do not.
