Jesus still heals people today. He still feels the pain of individuals and has compassion. He heals today using diverse methods. Jesus may use the intervention of a doctor to heal since He gave the doctor the gift to learn medicine. He may heal through a divine and supernatural touch through prayer. In James chapter 5, the Bible says that the fervent prayer of the righteous (those who know Jesus) can bring healing.

Sometimes people pray for healing and are healed. Other times, they may be healed during an assembly where God’s Word is being preached, or during a prayer meeting when people are praying for the sick. 

God does not always choose to heal. He can heal but sometimes He has a purpose in a person remaining handicapped or sickly. For example, Joni Earickson Tada was never healed from being a paraplegic. But her invalid state has allowed her to reach thousands of handicapped people in wheelchairs through her testimony. To read more about Joni and her testimony, click here.
