What were you saying about Paul
Acts 28:8-10
King James Version (KJV)
8 And it came to pass, that the father of Publius lay sick of a fever and of a bloody flux: to whom Paul entered in, and prayed, and laid his hands on him, and healed him.
9 So when this was done, others also, which had diseases in the island, came, and were healed:
10 Who also honoured us with many honours; and when we departed, they laded us with such things as were necessary.

[h=3]Matthew 13:56-58[/h]King James Version (KJV)
56 And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?
57 And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.
58 And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

-1 Corinthians 12
King James Version (KJV)
12 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.
2 Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led.
3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.
4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.
6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.
7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.
31 But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.

[h=3]Ephesians 4:7-14[/h]King James Version (KJV)
7 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift ofChrist.
8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.
9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?
10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)
11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;

Matthew 26:24The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not beenborn
I like every post, here, and they are almost all truth. But I would like to think about actually healing our bodies when they get sick. I think that it is often possible, when it fits with the kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven.
I had a child who doctors sais could not live when she was a newborn, but I am sure that because of prayer, God let her be with me for 21 wonderful years.
My son smoked and drank, and is now dying of cancer, and I believe that it is part of the spiritual truth of how our world works. Many prayers for him are not helping, even though he devoted his life, other than those two things, to working for the Lord.
Many people bring on illness through disobeying Phil 4:8. Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
God just cured me of a terrible case of eczema,I couldn't sleep and my arms and legs were a mass of sores. I used my finger on an outbreak as the red painful sores started, so to direct God's healing power to that spot. I still sometimes get outbreaks, but by directing God's power to the spot, each time it goes away.
I don't understand any of this, really. I don't know why Paul had something wrong with his body, and God did not heal it. I don't know why we aren't all born with perfect bodies when God only wants goodness for us. But I do know that healing is helped when we respect foods and don't try to improve or change them from how God designed them. And we can surround our imperfections with God's love and it works to cure.

Not trying to be mean. But threw most Christians life we walk past other everyday that are sick cripple etc. and don't pray for them. But when it's somebody close to us we pray for them out of fear of losing them and we call it faith. I encourage you to command that cancer out and believe in Gods love for him. Just because we don't see doesn't mean nothing is not happening. I believe in ya brother
Paul's thorn was a messenger from Satan. We have sickness because sin is in the world. But it is the enemy who kills, steals, and destroys and it is God who is brings and is abundant eternal life. He told us to heal the sick. It was His idea not ours C.
