"God doesn't work that way anymore—we live in a different dispensation now."
How it sounds in your head: Your dispensational theology chart shows you're in the 'Church Age,' not the 'Kingdom Age.' The flowchart your pastor drew clearly put miraculous gifts in a different box, a different time period. It made sense—God deals with humanity differently in different eras.
"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning."
-- James 1:17Source: Religion creating theological systems that explain away God's current power.
Respected Bible teachers you've followed for forty years built convincing frameworks showing God working differently in different ages. The complexity of their systems made them seem scholarly and true.
She suffered twelve years, spent everything on doctors who made her worse, was ceremonially unclean and shouldn't have been in the crowd. One touch of Jesus' garment and IMMEDIATELY the fountain of her blood dried up—she felt it in her body instantly.
I REFUSE the lie that God works differently now. IT IS WRITTEN that with God is no variableness, neither shadow of turning—He is the SAME healing Father in every age. No theological chart cancels His nature. IT IS WRITTEN in Hebrews 13:8 that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever—not 'was the same in a different dispensation.' I am in Christ, seated in heavenly places NOW, where every spiritual blessing is mine NOW. The BARAK blessing didn't expire when the apostles died—Abraham's seed inherits promises through FAITH, not time periods. I stand on finished work, not dispensational theories.
Your Father hasn't changed His mind about healing—man changed his theology to match his unbelief. While you were drawing charts, He was still healing bodies. He's running toward you now with the same compassion that moved Him in Galilee, eager to touch what hurts.
