Frequently Asked Questions

Does God heal everyone who asks?

God is always willing to heal, but healing comes according to His sovereign will and timing. Paul had a 'thorn in the flesh' that God chose not to remove, instead providing sufficient grace (2 Corinthians 12:9). We pray in faith while trusting God's perfect plan.

Can I pray for healing for someone else?

Absolutely. James 5:14-16 instructs believers to pray for the sick. Intercessory prayer is powerful — Jesus Himself healed many in response to others' faith (Matthew 8:5-13). Pray boldly for others' healing.
