Why don't we see healings?

Amen! True.

I said "depressing" because of unanswered healing in the body of Christ.

Oh absolutely... thanks so much for the clarification...

Your thoughts??

Tell him to watch Benny Hinn. lol

Ya, we agree there, I'm sure.

She no longer even looks like she has Downs or sometime of disfunction in her face anymore. She walks just fine, able to talk like any 5 year old should, and doesn't wear the glasses anymore. She's as healthy as can be.

From all of my missionary friends, it would seem that abroad there are just as many miracles and healings going on as ever. Maybe the difference in the US has to do with our lack of true hunger for the Lord. We've lost our desperation... He's usually our last or next to last alternative for healing... not our only. The difference in the modern day church in lack of power, miracles, signs, wonders, converts, true religion that is undefiled, etc... all has to do with us, and how we've changed.....

My curiosity is huge on this one! I would love to see her DNA profile to look for chromosone changes. To my knowledge Trisomy 21 has never spontaneously resolved in the history of man. It would be completely documentable because it is a genetic abnormality and her DNA would be part and parcel of her diagnosis.

If you would, please ask the parents if they would be willing to have their previously Downs daughter tested to see if she is now chromosonaly normal. What a win for God if they could prove that!

I mentioned the 5 year old that we saw instantaneously healed in church on Sunday night a few weeks ago. She was unable to walk without braces or see without her coke bottle glasses. She looked, and operated as a child with Down's would. Never spoke before.

That very night, she was able to run around the church with no braces... can see without glasses. In two weeks, full sentences like a 5 year old should speak. Doctors are saying no sign now of developmental issues whatsoever... even the eyes and the drooping on her face normalized.... It was a miracle.

But I have a coworker whose infant son needs a heart transplant or a new heart from the Lord in a couple of weeks or he'll die... but no answer of healing there.

I don't know why, but I do know that God has a view of the overall plan that I don't see.

What church do you attend? It would be worth the airfare to meet this child and her parents.... well to me it would. Say the word and I'll use my Delta miles in a flash!

I think you may have misunderstood me... Never said or didn't mean to imply she had Downs Syndrome, but she was developmentally challenged, and looked Downs in the face... but to my knowledge, they never said she was Downs... but all the other things are in the process of being documented by the doctors right now. Our church has a documentation process before we publish miracles claimed to have happened in our altars so that we make sure the claims are able to stand the muster of questions that might arise. Thanks.
