I'm healed but still have symptoms

[Angeleyes7715]

Why do Christians say that? Nowhere in the bible does it say anything about God healing people, but they are still suffering with the symptoms of the disease. I believe if God's going to heal someone they won't have any evidence of the disease at all. Why would God do something half way? He doesn't. So far I have not seen that type of healing.

My body is largely broken, but Jesus has healed me spiritually, through His Mother.

Are healing possible? Yes. Do they happen like in biblical times? No. Some believe all you do is pray and your healed. They say if your not healed then you didn't pray hard enough. But they lack the understand of how prayer works. God is not a genie. His answers can be yes, no, maybe or not yet. As someone told me maybe someone doesn't get healed yet because their health issues will play a bigger role in something in the future. Or maybe its because Hes waiting for them to do something that they are ignoring. We will never know really. I'm disabled but I accept it. I still pray of course for healing because as my name says nothing is impossible. But if its not His will to heal me then I trust Him because He has a plan.

Actually I used to hate I wasn't healed. I hated God for it. But I realized if not for me being like this, I may have not been who I am today. Maybe I would have less empathy, less compassion, less understanding. I have learned from being like this. In any situation we are in, we will learn from it. If I get healed tomorrow, awesome. If I don't, thats awesome too. At least I know when I die I won't have this sick body anymore. So I keep that in mind. This is all temporal.

God healed me of a devastating blood clot emanating from my right calf. I never went to the doctor for treatment because I had no health insurance at the time. I had chest pain afterwards but one night lied down to rest and had a dream that "hands" were on my body. I woke up with no pain and the clot gone. I don't know what to make of it. I went to the doctor afterwards for a physical exam and had no major issues. The thing is that I could have asked God to cure me of my mental illness too, but He did not. But, He saved me from death's throes. I don't know the reason why God saved me. I may die of a blood clot later you never know. However, God was there for me when I needed Him. I believe He sent his angels to save me. I am still alive and kicking! God does heal. He has His reasons. I have heard of people being cured of cancer too. It is rare but true. Why does God do this? I don't know. Only He knows the truth. Jesus is the ultimate physician!

Mark2:17On hearing this, Jesus said to them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

OK first I don't belong in this area of the forum but I had to reply to this statement.

Why do you believe that they are not like the bible healings?

We're not supposed to debate here, so I'm not debating -- just answering your question. The Bible healings were (with maybe one exception) immediate, complete, and objectively verifiable. I don't think we see that today, not that He couldn't make it happen.

I have not been healed of a chronic ailment I've had for nearly 20 years. It's unfortunate, too, because if I had I would not be the person I am today. (The person I am today is pretty much of a failure.) I dunno why God hasn't healed, but I'm glad that I can at least function and hold a job.

OK I didn't know the rules here.
So I won't take this further.
Thanks for answering my question though!

You are probably right.

If you never went to a doctor then how do you know you had a blood clot? What- did you just go to the ED- where they did a scan (which costs money you likely didn't have) that showed you had a blood clot? Did they then tell you about the clot and wanted to hook you up to a heparin drip- where upon you then informed them you couldn't afford to do that and then left against all medical advice? Yet, somehow you had the insurance and/or money to go to a doctor after the fact? Really?

I had a blood clot before and was hospitalized for about a week a few years prior. I was on heparin then took warfarin for a year. Thus, when it happened again I realized the symptoms. The time when my right calf had a clot the vein in my inner right calf became hardened like a vertical line and was crunchy to touch. I know it was a blood clot again from sitting for ten hours in a plane. I did not warm myself nor did I move around since I did not know any better. I truly thought I was going to die that time. My chest developed pain and I knew the clot had traveled to my chest area. Thus, when I had no insurance, I just thought I would die. However, something saved me from death. I give it to God. These days when I ride in a plane for over two hours, I move around and warm myself. I have not had a problem since and this was seven years ago. I know I may be prone to clots but they did a workup on me during my prior hospitalization and did not find anything inherently abnormal. I do go to the doctor now and have no major health issues. All I can say is that God is good!! I am not that devout but something saved me and has reminded me there is more to this world than the physical. I do believe in God and miracles. God bless!

It's been many years since I heard anyone say that. If memory is right, they were told to say what they wanted, and they would get it.
