Why don't we see healings?

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.....

I would love to see the doctor's statement after seeing the little girl you mention in this post.

My wife, is the director of a special needs day program, and would love to know that Downs had been healed. We have several Downs in our program, God is very evidently present at Coventry, but we have not seen a Downs healed. www.coventryreserve.org

We believe God will heal and restore all special needs, this life is so very short, they will all be complete and whole. Adversity in this life works as fire in the lives of those close to it, this life is the course each of us must walk.

God is not going to correct all wrongs, nor heal all sickness in this world, so to make healing here our only focus is misguided.

He could correct everything in this world NOW, but that is not the purpose of this life. Nor has He been interrupted, nor hindered from its (His purpose) accomplishment, no matter what moves we in our "freewill" do, He like the master chess player simply makes His next move to bring us all to "checkmate" with Him.
