"Seeking supernatural healing shows lack of faith in God's provision of medicine."
How it sounds in your head: I've been told that expecting miraculous healing when doctors are available is like testing God or rejecting His provision. Maybe faith means being grateful for medicine and not asking for more. Wanting a miracle feels greedy or like I'm dismissing the help God already gave through medical science.
"If you diligently heed the voice of the LORD your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I am the LORD who heals you."
-- Exodus 15:26Source: Religion—false humility that calls unbelief 'contentment' and makes settling for less than God's best sound spiritual.
Adults have scolded people for 'not using wisdom' when they pray for healing instead of just going to the doctor, making it sound like faith and medicine are opposites. You've been taught to be 'reasonable' and not expect too much.
Hezekiah was sick to the point of death, and God sent word through Isaiah that he would die. Hezekiah prayed desperately, and God ADDED fifteen years to his life—then told him to apply a fig poultice as part of the healing, combining supernatural intervention WITH a natural method.
I REFUSE the lie that seeking miraculous healing shows lack of faith in medicine—God is BIGGER than methods and can use both natural and supernatural means. IT IS WRITTEN that He declared 'I am the LORD who heals you'—not 'I am the medicine that heals you.' Doctors are a gift, but GOD is the source of all healing. I will not limit Him to natural means or feel guilty for asking for MORE than what medicine offers. IT IS WRITTEN that by His stripes I was healed—a finished work, and I receive it. I am under the BARAK blessing, redeemed from the curse of sickness, and I can trust doctors AND believe God for the impossible at the same time.
Your Father isn't offended when you reach for miraculous healing while also using medicine—He's not insecure about His methods or limited to one way of working. He's running toward you with BOTH wisdom and wonder, inviting you to receive from His hand however He chooses to give, because He's the SOURCE of all healing, natural or supernatural.
