The poorest people on earth are not without money but without Jesus Amen ! Your first need and need is the forgiveness of eternal security sins, salvation and eternal life – “ Behold, the Lamb of God who has raised the sin of the world’।And he is atonement for our sins, and not only for us, but also for the sins of the whole world। The only Creator God – Ekmatra Caste Man – Ekkatra Blood Red – Ekkatra Problem Sin – Ekkatra Solution Jesus Christ Do you know that there is eternal life even after the deer only God loves you ! Because God loved the world so much that he gave it to his only born Son – No one who believes in him is unhappy, But he may have eternal life, but God reveals his love for us: Christ died for us when we were sinners। Because you are saved by grace by faith; And it is not from you, it is God’s donation; He who is waking up to my door every day hears me waiting for the pillars of my doors, Blessed is that man। But God reveals his love for us: Christ died for us, while we are sinners। But in all these things we are even more than the winners by him, who loved us। Because I have been completely unarmed, neither death nor life, nor angels, neither the princes, nor the rights, nor the things that come from now, nor the things that come later, neither the heights, nor the deep, Neither any other creation can separate us from the love of God in our Lord Christ Jesus। Love is in this – not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent his Son to be atone for our sins। For God made sin for us, who did not know that we would be the righteousness of God। Jesus said to him: “ Bato, truth and life are me; No one comes to the Father except me. ” Your word is a light for my feet, and a light for my way। I cried before Miramire fell bright; I hope in your word। My eyes are open at night’s guard to meditate on your word। And call me on the day of the storm; I will deliver you, and you will raise me। He cures those with broken hearts and binds them to the ointment of their injuries। You will be in me and ask for whatever you want if my words are in you, and that will be done for you।

Why God Doesn’t Heal Every Sickness?

 

Why God Doesn’t Heal Every Sickness?

Understanding James 5:13–15 and the Mystery of Divine Healing

Why doesn’t God heal every sickness? Discover biblical answers from James 5:13–15 and explore 10 reasons God sometimes allows suffering to remain.

✝️ Introduction: The Painful Question We All Ask

Healing is one of the most powerful expressions of God’s mercy and power. But what happens when we pray, fast, and believe—and yet the healing doesn’t come? Many believers struggle silently with the question:
“Why didn’t God heal me?”

James 5:13–15 is one of the clearest New Testament teachings on healing, yet it’s also deeply misunderstood.

James 5:13-15 – “Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray… And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up…”

So if this verse is true—and it is—why aren’t all the sick healed when we pray? Let’s go deeper into the 10 biblical and theological reasons God sometimes chooses not to heal immediately—or at all.

1. Healing Is Not a Formula—It’s About Relationship

James doesn’t offer a mechanical method. Prayer must be faithful, sincere, and relational. God isn’t a vending machine. He listens as a Father.

Matthew 6:8 – “Your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.”

Key Point: Prayer is not a ritual. It’s a conversation rooted in trust.

2. Some Sicknesses Are Connected to Spiritual Matters

James 5:15–16 mentions sin and confession. Not all sickness is caused by sin, but some are. God may allow sickness to awaken us to spiritual needs.

Psalm 32:3-5 – David describes how unconfessed sin affected his body.

Key Point: God may use illness to bring us to repentance or restoration.

3. Sometimes the Healing Comes in Heaven, Not on Earth

Some believers are healed eternally, not temporally. God always heals His children—but sometimes the full healing happens in glory, not here.

Revelation 21:4 – “There shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain…”

Key Point: Death is not defeat for a Christian—it is ultimate healing.

4. God’s Glory May Be Revealed in Our Weakness

Paul prayed three times for healing, but God said no.

2 Corinthians 12:9 – “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.”

Key Point: Sometimes God is most glorified through our suffering, not from removing it.

5. God’s Timing Is Perfect—Even in Delayed Healing

Jesus delayed going to Lazarus, knowing he would die first.

John 11:4 – “This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God…”

Key Point: A delay doesn’t mean a denial. God may have a higher purpose in waiting.

6. Healing Is a Sign—Not the Goal

Jesus’ healings in the Bible were signs pointing to the kingdom.

John 20:30-31 – The miracles were signs so people might believe.

Key Point: God desires our salvation more than our comfort. Healing is secondary to the soul’s transformation.

7. Faith Is Required—But It’s Not a Guarantee

James says, “the prayer of faith will save the sick,” but that faith must align with God’s will.

1 John 5:14 – “If we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.”

Key Point: God honors faith, but He always acts in perfect wisdom.

8. The Fall Brought Disease, and We Live in a Broken World

Sickness is a result of original sin and the fall. Healing is the exception, not the rule, until Jesus returns.

Romans 8:22–23 – “We groan within ourselves, waiting for… the redemption of our bodies.”

Key Point: We are not yet in heaven. Until then, suffering exists.

9. God May Use Illness to Shape Christlike Character

Suffering produces things that ease never could: perseverance, compassion, humility.

Romans 5:3–5 – “Suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.”

Key Point: God values your soul’s maturity more than your temporary ease.

10. We Are Called to Minister, Not Just Be Healed

Even when not healed, God may call you to minister through your pain. Your story becomes a testimony.

Philippians 1:12 – “What has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel.”

Key Point: Your struggle can open doors to reach others for Christ.

✝️ A Prayer for Trust in the Midst of Sickness

“Jehovah Rapha, the God who heals, I come before You in humility. I believe in Your power, but I also trust Your wisdom. Even when healing doesn’t come as I expect, I know You are good. Help me rest in Your timing, Your will, and Your plan for my life. Whether in sickness or in health, be glorified. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”

For he that findeth me shall find life, and shall receive mercy from the Lord. But he that sinneth against me, harmeth his own soul; All those who hate me love death.’ Proverb. 8:35-36 But God shows his love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8 He committed no sin, nor was any guile found in his mouth; He did not rebuke in return; He did not threaten when he suffered, but committed himself to the righteous judge. He Himself bore our sins in His own body on the cross, that we might die to sins and live to righteousness; By His stripes you were healed. 1 st. Proverb. 8:35-36 Nor is salvation in any other; For there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” Acts 4:12 Jesus said to him: “I am the way, the truth, and the life; No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6 Behold, he comes with the clouds, and every eye shall see him, even those who despise him; And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of him. So be it! Amen! Revelation 1:7 And he was clothed in blood; And his name is called ‘Word of God’. Revelation 19:13 “And behold, I come quickly; And I have my reward to give to every man according to his work. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.” Revelation 22:12-13 Note: Today people don’t even have time to go to heaven. Believe in Jesus Christ and you will receive forgiveness of sins, salvation and eternal life.
