God heals

God heals, Jesus heals. He healed MIRACULOUSLY, instantaneously.

Nowadays, we say God will heal, go through endless surgery and treatments, get healed, and then give God the Glory. But, seriously. Who is not saying in the back of their mind, "yes, God heals, but it's a good thing they got all that medical attention and stuff, because God uses that to heal..." and yes, yes He does.

But you show me God or Christ healing in the Bible where doctor's methods were involved. The closest thing to "doctor methods" were rubbing spit and dirt on eyes, and didn't somebody go wash in a pool first?

How much are we limiting our faith with this dilemma? We are so scared of death and so hesitant to believe when life is at stake- we can put things in God's hands yet still in the hands of doctors...

Even as I write that, I know I'm bonkers for it. I can write it, type it out, you catch my drift and all, but whoa.

If they told me my child had cancer or something- would I not be all over the doctors? My faith is just as limited in that realm.

But I still write this.

God HEALS, and when He heals, it ain't no small thing. He didn't heal hang nails and paper cuts. He put an ear back on the side of a dude's face, all well and good. He healed a woman who had been bleeding for YEARS!
I realize that having Jesus right there would definitely help with the whole faith issue. But are we not equipped? If we are the Body of Christ, then why can't we? His hands reached out and healed. Is it not logical that OURS can do the same?!? (and by logical, you know I mean spiritually logical).

What a wonder modern medicine is. Truly. And how expensive and profitable, too. But, to the detriment of our God? At least God in our eyes? A modern tragedy of faith and existence. What are we to do?

Step off a cliff? Speak clearly Lord, and leave no room for doubt.
