Healing

Healing
What do the scriptures say when it comes to healing:
Matthew 9:29 NAS
Then He touched their eyes, saying, "It shall be done to you according to your faith."

Matthew 9:22 NAS
But Jesus turning and seeing her said, "Daughter, take courage; your faith has made you well." At once the woman was made well.

Mark 5:34 NAS
And He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace and be healed of your affliction."

Mark 10:52 NAS
And Jesus said to him, "Go; your faith has made you well." Immediately he regained his sight and began following Him on the road.

Luke 8:48 NAS
And He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace."

Luke 17:19 NAS
And He said to him, "Stand up and go; your faith has made you well."

Luke 18:42 NAS
And Jesus said to him, "Receive your sight; your faith has made you well."


Recently I was visiting with an old friend about their trips overseas to areas and countries that have much affliction and much need of healing. They have no medical help beyond very basic means...they have no hope other than God...nothing else that can cure them or help them.

So I think...no wonder many of us in this country *United States* don't experience healing in similar ways...we have too much science and medicine to explain away every ache and pain, surgeries/scans/medicines to fix every need... and YET don't get me wrong...
I believe fully that God has given many in our country skills and wisdom to help people through medicine this is not my focus. I'm not saying let your child die when they can go to the hospital to be cured or get medicine to keep them alive.

What I am saying is a mental focus, a heart thing...the people in some of these countries have nothing, they have poured their lives out, they have no hope until the message of the Gospel has been preached to them and they say God if you are God bring healing to this body, come fill my life, change my family and bring peace to my home...they have a faith that brings them to a place that God is able to fill because they have emptied themselves fully...they have nothing else in their mind that says...oh you don't need to worry if God doesn't heal you from ..xyz..because you can go to the clinic and get something.
These people in many places of the world are crying out..."God heal me, God save me, for if you don't I will surely die".

Now I don't have answers for the people who have cried out to God to bring healing and it didn't come...we can trust though that God is Good...that every thing will serve a purpose...perhaps God knew that your loved one needed healing beyond the confines of this world and you were able to walk through it to bring you closer to Him. To bless others with the life you have here...
