Why Doesn't God Heal Me?—Is it my fault?
Many Christians suffer illness and disability. Some ask why Jesus doesn't heal them.
1 Is it because Jesus cannot heal?
NO
Jesus was able to heal any sickness (Matthew 8:14-17; 11:4-5).
He still can. He's the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8).
2 Is it because the sufferers don't have faith?
NO
Some were healed by their own faith (Mark 5:34).
Some were healed without faith on their part (Acts 3:5-6,16).
Some were not healed even though they had faith (1Timothy 5:23).
3 Is it because the sufferers have sinned?
NO
Sin is not always behind suffering. Example: man born blind (John 9:1-3 ).
4 Is it because Satan holds sway?
NO
We have been translated out of his domain (Colossians 1:12-14).
5 Is it because we are not a charismatic church?
NO
They have just as many unhealed people as non-charismatic churches do.
6 Is it because God isn't always willing to heal?
YES
God claimed that he makes us as we are (Exodus 4:10-11).
The clay cannot say to the potter, "Why?" (Isaiah 45:9).
God may have reasons not to heal our "thorns" (2Corinthians 12:7-10).
