When Jesus, God in the flesh, ministered on earth, He exercised power over everything, including sickness and death. And He still exercises that power today, usually by supernaturally orchestrating natural means and occasionally—though rarely—by direct intervention. Even then, however, His direct supernatural intervention never comes through the agency of a divine healer. Although some teach that healing can be coaxed out of God by exercising enough faith or by demonstrating enough faithfulness, healing only occurs by the Lord’s sovereign choice. As perplexing as this concept may sound to us, God may not choose to heal every illness.
