OM, I don't pretend to know all the answers on this issue. I will, however, say that there is a fine line between trusting God and not trusting God when it comes to the use of medicine, in my opinion. It's easy to boldly proclaim that God doesn't need the help of medicine. It's not so easy to actually live that belief out when faced with life threatening illness. Thank God that His grace is sufficient to carry us through, regardless of which direction we take when it's our turn to face that fork in the road.
I know and that is why people aren't being healed like they were in the Bible.

Brother, I think people are getting healed the way they were in the Bible. Maybe not like they were when Jesus walked the Earth as a man, but people receive healings these days. I know He has healed my back.

Bro,
Do you know of anyone in Apostolic circles where their shadow healed anyone? I haven't, but Peter's shadow did heal people. This is what I am talking about, not the few healings that happen every now and then.

Who do you know in this day and age that is as close to God as Peter was?

No one is, but it doesn't have to be this way. It's by the choices that people make why it isn't this way. They are too busy doing other things that they don't have much time for God. It's the way of the world.

I would just add that I dont think God is really happy with us when we claim faith over medicine when medicine will fix a problem.
I really dont. some here will differ in their view but thats how I feel about it.
