Exploring whether God still performs miracles and heals today, based on biblical truth and God's unchanging nature.
Yes, God still heals today! His power hasn't diminished, and His compassion for human suffering remains the same. Throughout Church history and in our modern world, countless testimonies confirm that God continues to heal supernaturally. While He doesn't always heal in the way or timing we expect, we can trust in His goodness and sovereignty.
"Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits—who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases."
— Psalm 103:2-3
The Bible declares that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. If God healed in biblical times, His character and power remain unchanged today. He is still the God who heals, and His love and compassion for His people continue.
"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever."
— Hebrews 13:8
Jesus gave His disciples authority to heal the sick and cast out demons, and this commission extends to believers today. The Great Commission includes signs, wonders, and healing as evidence of the Gospel's power.
"And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues... they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well."
— Mark 16:17-18
The New Testament gives clear instructions for healing ministry in the church. Elders are called to pray for the sick, anointing them with oil. The prayer of faith is promised to heal the sick person.
"Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well."
— James 5:14-15
While God can and does heal today, He is sovereign in how and when He chooses to do so. Not everyone is healed in this life, but this doesn't diminish God's power or love. Sometimes God's purposes are accomplished through suffering.
"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."
— Romans 8:28
God can and does heal instantly and miraculously, beyond medical explanation.
God often uses doctors, medicine, and medical procedures as instruments of healing.
God heals broken hearts, emotional wounds, and psychological trauma.
In heaven, all believers will receive perfect, complete healing from every ailment.
"He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds."
— Psalm 147:3
Bring your needs to God in prayer and find comfort in His healing presence, whatever form His answer may take.
