In the end, the only miracle that counts is God saving us. What happens in these frail bodies, only matters in terms of "Did it bring us closer to Jesus?"
I've been lucky in my life and haven't had to watch too many people die, that I loved. My father came to Christ 5 months before he died. He was not healed of congestive heart failure, but he was healed totally of sin failure. He is with Jesus now, and I rejoice that God gave me the opportunity to walk alongside him every day for 5 months, teaching him, encouraging him, comforting him and that I was able to answer his questions, and love him before he passed into the hands of our loving Saviour, Jesus Christ.
One of my sons became very sick as a child, with frequent pneumonias. I was Pentecostal at the time, and I honestly don't remember what I prayed for. I did take him to a good paediatrician, who diagnosed him with allergies. We got rid of the allergies, and suddenly, he was better. Eventually he outgrew the allergies, and has been perfectly healthy since then. So, did God heal him? Well, I think God has a hand in all healing, he is the one who gave us the blue print in our DNA for the body to fix itself. But a direct miracle? Probably not! But, I do thank God that my son did not die.
As for myself, I have suffered, and suffered and suffered. The last 30+ years have been agony, since I suffered a bad whiplash injury in a car accident, which triggered asthma, which triggered severe Rheumatoid Arthritis, fibromyalgia, Sjogren's Syndrome, hyperthyroidism, and maybe now Celiac's disease. You cannot imagine the pain of an RA flare. I had a major one in my right ankle on the weekend. I literally could not put weight on it. I had to put anti-inflammatory cream on it, wrap it in a tensor bandage, put it on a pillow and not move it. And I had to miss playing in our worship team, which is my time to praise God in the sanctuary.
So, was that flare, or that messed up reconstructive surgery, or any of the other pain something to weep about? Well, sometimes. But, God has a way of getting a hold of us. Back in the early 2000s, I turned away from God, I felt so hopeless. But God never left me. He kept calling me back, got me reading the Psalms and meeting all those very real people who suffered from all kinds of very real problems. And when my pity party was over, God called me to seminary and gave me a ministry of reconciliation to the hurting and broken.
We simply cannot demand miracles from God. Sometimes, coming back to God and trusting him in a new and better way, is a bigger miracle than turning off the RA gene. Some days, I wish I wasn't suffering, but most of the time, I am happy, and growing, always looking to hear what God is saying to me both in his Word, and through the illumination of the Holy Spirit.
For some reason, being sick is always seen as being the worst possible thing that can happen. But, it is not. I was a chaplain in long term care. I saw so much suffering. But, I also saw perseverance. I saw love and maturity in ways I can only pray God will develop in me. I met a man, who survived cancer, only to have a stroke, who spent his time memorizing the Bible, and sharing the gospel with the other residents. I saw a man who had been hit by a power line on his head, confined to a motorized wheelchair, tell our Bible study that horrible day was the day his life BEGAN! Why? Because he turned his life over to Christ.
How shallow the Word Faith movement is, to demand something God has never promised, in certain healing, but even more, to miss out on the depth and breadth of God's love, for a bit of loaves and bread. Or a drink of wine at the end of a wedding. Jesus performed those miracles to show who he was - the Messiah, the one promised who would save us from our sins.
That is the best promise always! Jesus who lived, died and was crucified, and whom we will meet face to face, one day soon!
PS. I have examined exegetically the false promises of the Word Faith movement with regards to healing. If you want me to repost, just ask. The fact is, the Bible NEVER promises that we will be healed on demand. All those verses - out of context, and twisted.
