These are just some random thoughts on the subject of Divine healing:

--All healing is from God.

--Gradual healing through natural processes is not to be despised -- the source of this healing is God.

--To minister to the sick through Medicine, Nursing, or scientific research is a God-honorimg occupation.

--It is not wrong to use an 'aid' to assist the body's functions (example: a cane, crutches, a wooden leg) until complete healing has been manifested.

--We must avoid the "can/must" fallacy: that because God CAN work in a certain way, that He therefore MUST always work in that same manner at all times.

--In exercising faith for the sick, we - as creatures - must not attempt to dictate to God - the Creator - who ALWAYS acts in the total freedom of His own will - the MANNER in which He will act. To do so is presumption, not faith. (A conclusion based on the previous point.)

Your thoughts?
