There’s so much talk out in the world about healing these days. You might not notice it, but it’s there. In fact, Congress just passed a historic bill glittered with promises of hope and healthcare for millions of uninsured all over the country. As politicians bicker and state legislators squabble in an epic tug of war to materialize the funding for this bill, a look of joy-turned-to-regret fill the faces of the American population, as they realize that health and healing comes at high cost with so many strings attached and holes apparent.
When the Bible talks about the praying for healing, strangely there seems to be something missing. In fact, any honest person who reads the Bible must accept that the authors and contributors of the Scriptures seem to have all believed in a healing that is so oddly foreign to us.
Think about it. Jesus would simply heal blind men, lepers, demon-possessed, paralytics…and yet, there would be no payment at the end. No tax to meet the demands of his “universal healthcare.” It was absolutely free.
It is a healing with no strings attached. No holes. No kinks. No taxes. Just free.
So my question, then, is this: Why don’t we pray for healing anymore?

Amen brotha!! This is right, I mean with the healthcare goin who knows where, we have to stand in authority for our right to be healed and heal others in Jesus name! This healthcare bill may be a cause for frustration and doubt for many, but as long as we trust God, we know where healing comes from!
