Bible Question:
My thought was as I read Acts, I do not "see" the Holy Spirit not healing or ceasing this ministry. Where or what scripture says that He doesn't operate this way? I just need help understanding. |
Bible Answer: Greetings and Merry Christmas, Try to understand the object for the healing and the miracles that took place. The completed Bible wasn’t finished yet and the healings opened the eyes of those that witnessed these acts and as a result the Apostles were able to present the message of Christ. It was like having credentials from God as to who the Apostles represented. Paul had the gift of healing but even he came a point in time when this gift ceased to function as evidenced by the following verse. 2 Tim. 4:20 Erastus abode at Corinth: but Trophimus have I left at Miletum sick. Today with all those that “claim” to have this particular gift, how many of them do you know, that are over 200 years old? God can still heal all that He desires with out the use men and, "He will" accomplish His divine intended purpose! CDBJ |
