"Paul was sick and left Trophimus sick, so healing isn't always God's will."
How it sounds in your head: Even the apostles dealt with sickness. Paul had eye problems, left Trophimus sick at Miletus, told Timothy to drink wine for his stomach. If they weren't always healed, why should I expect to be?
"Who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed."
-- 1 Peter 2:24Source: Religion using isolated verses to override the clear pattern of Jesus healing everyone, creating escape clauses for unbelief.
These are biblical examples that seem to prove healing isn't guaranteed, giving theological permission to accept sickness without feeling like he lacks faith.
He was sick almost to death for the work of Christ. Paul said God had mercy on him and healed him—proving that even when sickness came, God's will was HEALING. Sickness happened, but healing was the outcome, not acceptance of disease.
I REFUSE the lie that apostolic sickness proves healing isn't always God's will. IT IS WRITTEN by His stripes I WAS healed—past tense, done. When Epaphroditus got sick, God HEALED him. IT IS WRITTEN that Jesus healed them ALL. Isolated incidents don't override explicit doctrine. I am Abraham's seed under the BARAK covenant of blessing, not curse. Healing is my covenant right purchased at Calvary. I receive it NOW and refuse to build theology on silence while ignoring the finished work.
Your Father doesn't have a different standard for you than He had for the multitudes Jesus healed. He's not waiting to see if you're apostle-level before releasing healing—the cross made you righteous, and healing flows from that gift, not your rank.
