"The age of miracles ended with the apostles. God doesn't heal supernaturally anymore."
How it sounds in your head: I've lived through so much pain, watched my body break down year by year. Maybe those healing stories were just for Bible times. I'm foolish to hope for anything different now, at my age, with my condition.
"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever."
-- Hebrews 13:8Source: Cessationist religion that limits God's power to protect its own powerlessness and lack of results.
She's watched Christian friends die of the same diseases as unbelievers, been in churches for decades that never saw miracles. Her own prayers seem to hit the ceiling while her body continues deteriorating.
Twelve years bleeding, spent all her money on doctors who made her worse, considered unclean and untouchable. One touch of Jesus' garment and she was IMMEDIATELY healed—virtue flowed from Him without Him even intending it, proving healing is His NATURE, not His policy.
I REFUSE the lie that miracles ended with the apostles! IT IS WRITTEN: Jesus Christ is the SAME yesterday, today, and forever—that means His healing power didn't expire when the last apostle died! I am connected to the UNCHANGING ONE who healed then and heals NOW. The woman who touched His garment was instantly healed after twelve years of suffering—not because she was young or deserving, but because healing FLOWS from Him like light from the sun. IT IS WRITTEN: By His stripes I WAS healed—past tense, finished work! I stand in the BARAK blessing of Abraham, redeemed from the curse, and my age is no barrier to the One who is the same forever!
The Father isn't waiting for a different dispensation to love you—He is running toward you RIGHT NOW with healing in His wings, the same Jesus who couldn't walk past suffering without responding. Your frail body doesn't intimidate Him; He formed you in the womb and He delights in making old things new.
