Frequently Asked Questions
Does God heal everyone who asks?
God is always willing to heal, but healing comes according to His timing and sovereign will. Paul prayed three times for healing and God said 'my grace is sufficient' (2 Corinthians 12:9). Sometimes God heals instantly, sometimes gradually, and sometimes ultimate healing comes in eternity.
What is the role of faith in healing?
James 5:15 connects the 'prayer of faith' with healing. Faith doesn't earn healing — it receives it. Faith trusts God's character even when healing is delayed, knowing that Jehovah Rapha's nature never changes.
