So, as someone who loves, adores and follows Jesus, how do you deal with experiences where you pray for healing and nothing happens?I've heard a lot of nonsense about this. In particular, the snooty "oh it's because you don't have enough faith" or even worse, "it's because you're doing something God doesn't like" or "it's because your ancestors did something God doesn't like" or "it's because the enemy has some legal ground over you".Listen, first of all - God is bigger than my faith and let's not forget, it only takes the faith of a mustard seed to move mountains.Secondly, I don't even have to rely on my own faith when it comes to Jesus - He IS faith! Faith is a person. Jesus took no chances when He came to save us. He supplies us with His faith.Thirdly, God is not that petty. We might be but He isn't.Fourthly, it's us human beans that jump through hoops and make it so others have to do the same. God made it quite simple…Jesus.Fifthly, the enemy has NO legal ground over the saved ANYMORE. He is a liar, an accuser and a deceiver, so he may make you believe that but it's not true. Colossians 2:14 "He (Jesus) cancelled out every legal violation we had on our record and the old arrest warrant that stood to indict us.He erased it all - our sins, our stained soul - he deleted it all and it cannot be retrieved! Everything we once were in Adam has been placed on to His cross and nailed permanently there as a public display of cancellation". TPTSo, why do we still get sick? Why do we not always get healed when we pray? Why do some people experience healing miracles and others don't? Why do some people have undeniable supernatural healing experiences including being saved from death, involving angels or Jesus Himself?In short, I don't know. But what I do know is, I've experienced all of the above or know someone personally who has. I have some amazing stories of God's Hand in my life or the life of those I've prayed specifically for, but are there times when I get sick? Yes. Are there times I'm in pain? Yes. Are there times when I've lost loved ones? Yes.Whether healing happens or not, one thing remains firm - my belief in Jesus and His love for me.We live in a fallen world, and quite frankly horrible things happen. Look at what happened to every single one of the Apostles! It wasn't a picnic for any of them. Let's not forget, Paul obviously had great success with healing but that didn't mean he didn't suffer from his own weakness in body. Some believe it was an eye disease. Also Paul said in 2nd Timothy "I left Trophimus sick in Miletus." So he wasn't able to heal everyone.But did he stop praying or believing? Of course not.And if you can tear yourself away from religiosity, prayer and supernatural healing are not the only paths to healing. You can use what God has given us in this earthly realm for healing too, whether that be controlling your mindset (yes, what you believe can stunt your healing!), herbs, doctors, specialists and other types of healing.Lastly but most importantly, keep the fires burning in your intimacy with the Lord, because that's where the true relationship is that keeps you steady no matter what comes your way.

Unanswered prayers for healing aren't due to lack of faith or past wrongs. God's love and power surpass all. Trust Him, stay close, and use all means for healing and comfort.
