Let’s consider a few instances of healing from God’s Word.
Here we have three examples of immediate and instantaneous healing. Notice that the Lord healed in the first two examples and the third healing by accomplished through Peter. Do we have examples of healings that took place over time?
Here we have three examples where the healings of the Lord were not immediate, yet did result in complete healing. Also, we must believe that ALL healing comes from the Lord. The doctors can do great and mighty things today, but it is only the Lord that can truly heal the body. If you break your leg, or if you fall and skin up your arms, will you not pray about that? Sure you would, and the Lord may provide healing, but it will probably take time for your complete healing. We read in James 5:16, “Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.” We often pray for others, and for ourselves to be healed. Just because there may not be an instant healing, do we despair and stop praying, or do we continue to pray until the Lord heals?
