The Importance of Healing

The Bible says that God will supply all our needs (Philippians 4:16) . If healing is not a need, then what is? Imagine your life or the life of a loved one is threatened by a serious illness. If that is not a need, then words have no meaning and communication is impossible. If we say that we have a personal relationship with God, but in a time of great sickness, we have no idea of what God's will is, then in what sense can we say that we know God? We can go to a restaurant and order for our spouse or know what they will say before they even begin speaking, but if we don't know if God wants us well or sick, alive or dead, then we don't really know Him at all.
