This "God is Sovereign and can do as he pleases" mentality has always baffled me. Does the fact that God is sovereign mean that he is willing to oppose His own Word??

The problem as I see it is that some do not see the promise of healing available to all, but only to a selected group. It negates a real prayer of faith from being prayed when one believes this, because the one praying cannot be certain that it is Gods will for healing to occur.
The problem St Matt, is our understanding of his Word is less than perfect (you do agree, right?)

How about acknowledging the sovereignty of God's Word while confessing our comprehension is something less than perfect??

Even in my own life, I have changed views on some things I once thought were clearly stated in scripture.
