Your Question:

Can God really heal me now?

Answer:

My friend, I'm so glad you're seeking guidance on this matter. As a pastor, I've seen many people struggle with faulty theologies of suffering, and I believe you've been there too. The idea that God wants to heal us, and if He doesn't, it's because He's not willing or able, is a misconception that can lead to despair and self-pity. But I want to assure you that God's ways are not our ways, and His sovereignty is not limited by our understanding of His love and plan for our lives.

When it comes to healing, we must remember that God's ordinary way of working is through the natural, and His extraordinary way is through the supernatural. Just because He chooses not to heal us in a particular way or at a particular time doesn't mean He's not working or that He's not loving us. In fact, Romans 8:28 reminds us that all things work together for our good, even in the midst of suffering. We must be careful not to promise something that God has not promised, and we must pray with a heart that's willing to submit to His will, whether that means healing or not.

As you pray for healing, I encourage you to pray with a heart that's abiding in Jesus, and to ask according to His will. Remember that Jesus frequently healed those who came to Him, but He also knew when it was not His will to heal. When we pray for healing, we should pray for God to be glorified in the situation, whether He chooses to heal or not. And we should pray out of the same compassion of heart that Jesus felt for those whom He healed. If it's God's will to heal you, He will do so, but even if He doesn't, He will still be with you and will work all things together for your good.
