Yeah, yeah - some people have tried to use the fact that Paul left Trophimus sick at Miletum, to teach that healing is not for everyone.

Sorry that doesn't fit in with your theology but facts are facts.

Your litany of excuses as to why that is the case is without basis.

It take s time to be healed, eh? And Jesus did how many delayed healings?

And how long do I have to wait? Ten years? Twenty years? Going on thirty years now.....?

I've been prayed for and anointed with oil time without count. I've done it the James way and the pentecostal faith healer way, and nothing.....

So then what? It all gets back to it being my fault because my faith is "inadequate".

Well, there's that judgment and condemnation again, more lies of the enemy from the lips of those who claim to be my brothers and sisters in Christ.

Nice.

So . . . are you asserting that

the only options left are

that

A) Jesus no longer heals?

or

B) that bitterness and resentment are great routes to healing

or

C) ???

Talk about being puffed up.

You think we who 'are growing in faith', we are instead to be instantly like Jesus. Nice. We are to strive to be like HIM, you demand others to be like HIM now. What about you? I see how you overlook.........

Mark 4:26 He also said, "This is what the kingdom of God is like. A man scatters seed on the ground.

Mark 4:27 Night and day, whether he sleeps or gets up, the seed sprouts and grows, though he does not know how.

All by itself the soil produces grain--first the stalk, then the head, then the full kernel in the head.

Mark 4:29 As soon as the grain is ripe, he puts the sickle to it, because the harvest has come."

Just as the kingdom of God must grow, there is growth in our own personal lives also Acts 9:22, Eph 4:15, 2 Th 1:3, 1Peter 2:2, and 2Peter 3:18.

It is easy to become so impatient waiting for the visible fruit that we neglect our roots(Mark 4:16). When things get tough, only the Word that has personal roots in our hearts will bear fruit.
