The gift of healing

I was asked to post a question on Sermon Index by a friend with no internet connection.

She would like to know if there are some reputable books or articles dealing with various sides of the healing doctrines and answer the questions, Does God still miraculously heal? When? By whom?

Thanks!

Does God still miraculously heal? When?

Hi again Michael,

Two or three years ago, my pastor was diagnosed with tumor, he was at that time 33 with wife and three little daughters.

He had appointed for operation. When he went there, on the operation table the Dr. was making his last preparations for the surgery.
But after some time the Dr. said to him: "Stand up and go home, you don't have anything"

He stoop and went home to rejoice with his daughters and wife and the church, praising God for the miracle healing, right before the surgery.

The medical pictures from the tumor today are still here.

The last sermon before the surgery that he preached was this:

John 12:4 When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.

And instead we as church to encourage our pastor, we got encouragement from him. And this was fulfilled few days later and God's name was glorified.

This is just the shortest possible version of the story.

Yes, He still heals today, He is the same yesterday, today and forever.

Amen.

Thank God for your pastor's healing.

God healed me from anorexia last year [url=https://www.sermonindex.net/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=17618&forum=44]Testimony here[/url]

However, I have a friend who is a believer and has been a bulimic for over 10 years and she has not yet been healed.

And I have wondered why I was healed and not her. I don't even pretend to understand this. All I know is that God is God and I can trust Him no matter what. Even when I don't understand.

brethren Greetings in Jesus' Name by Whose Blood we are Saved.AMEN.

we could always look in the word from Genesis to the Revelation, lots of instances of healing there :)

Grace and Peace are ours in Jesus' Name. AMEN.

This is my opinion based on observation.

Bona fide healings likely are not 'performed' by high-profile persons, but by 'persons' who walk humbly before God, lest the honor would go to the 'miracle-worker'.

The miracle of healings I have heard of were not those 'performed' by persons who have written a book about them or who were even well-known, but by obscure persons who loved the LORD.

When one hears of healing campaigns being promoted, I tend to see red flags. If the healing is divine, God gets the honor and the hand by which he uses to accomplish this is a humble person. How many faith-healers do you know who possess this quality?

What do you think?

My thoughts...
