Does God heal today? If yes, on what basis does God heal? Do christians have to depend only on doctors or people like t.b.joshua for healing?
You may post your opinion.
God heals today, and the operation of the Church, and saints is the same throughout Church history, for why would it be different.
1Co 13:8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
1Co 13:9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
1Co 13:10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
1Co 13:13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
Charity is greater than faith and hope, for faith and hope are not needed in heaven, but love will go on forever.
So prophesies are not needed in heaven, and tongues are not needed in heaven, and knowledge is not needed in heaven, but charity never fails for it will go on forever.
But the operation of the Church is the same throughout history, and why would healings not be for today when it is the same type of people as back in the first century, for their condition did not change, and they need salvation and the witness of miracles the same as back then.
For when the Church first stated when they were in a certain area why would miracles only be at that time, for when the Gospel gets spread then it is a whole new area that is the same condition of the previous area so why don't they get the witness of the miracles, and healings.
And prophesies still go on for the world will rebel against God, and Jesus will come back with His saints and defeat the world, and be in the New Jerusalem, and prophesies can pass away after they come to pass, but God wants us to know of past prophesies for they testify that God is the true God, which He said that He told us the end from the beginning to identify Himself as the one true God, which He told us the whole history of mankind, and said no other person or religion will be able to do that.
And knowledge has not passed away for we have to have knowledge of God's word, and we have to have the same knowledge they had back then, for how can knowledge pass away back then, and not be for today when all scripture is give by God for instruction, and correction, so the man of God may be furnished unto all good works.
However they operated back then is how they operate now.
Healing is for today, but a lot of people lack faith, or are hypocritical, which the prayers of a righteous man avails much, and the majority of people who claim Christ is hypocritical.
Which Jesus said broad is the way that leads to destruction, and narrow is the way to eternal life, and few be there that find it.
The majority of people who claim Christianity are not led of the Spirit, so healing will not take place there.
For faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen, which God reveals the kingdom to the saints.
So true faith has the right perspective of the kingdom of God, that God hates evil, and wants us to do good, and His kingdom is love which love is the fulfilling of the law, which means only going by our needs and helping other people with their needs.
Which we know the many people claiming Christ violate that faith with their hypocrisy, and loving the things of the world.
Out of all that we did on earth only love will go on forever, so those things will pass away when the saints are with Jesus, the same as faith and hope are not needed in heaven but only on earth.
