Is God still in the healing business?

Do miracles still exist in this world, a world that is upside down & inside out with sin and corruption? I cannot even go where some people go. I have heard people say well if only they prayed harder or stayed on their knees longer they wouldn’t be suffering the way they are. Why would anyone suggest that a person’s pain or healing is a direct reflection of how many hours they spent praying or saying the right words to God? If they are not healed one of these “Christians” might imply that the healing did not take place because God just didn’t think their prayers were adequate or fancy enough. What is wrong with our Christian brothers and sisters today always looking toward the negative? Is the blessing the healing or is the blessing the journey home. Is actually being released from the trials and tribulations here on earth such a horrific scenario.

I use to be worried about dying but one day I realized that Heaven is the reward not the punishment. We are only here to learn how to worship him. Some of us take a little longer to be taught and some are required here to teach others.

The Georgia Wife

Three men married wives from different states.

The first man married a woman from Michigan . He told her that she was to do the dishes and house cleaning. It took a couple of days, but on the third day, he came home to see a clean house and dishes washed and put away.

The second man married a woman from Missouri . He gave his wife orders that she was to do all the cleaning, dishes and the cooking. The first day he didn't see any results, but the next day he saw it was better. By the third day, he saw his house was clean, the dishes were done and there was a huge dinner on the table.

The third man married a girl from Georgia . He ordered her to keep the house cleaned, dishes washed, lawn mowed, laundry washed, and hot meals on the table for every meal. He said the first day he didn't see anything, the second day he didn't see anything but by the third day, some of the swelling had gone down and he could see a little out of his left eye, and his arm was healed enough that he could fix himself a sandwich and load the dishwasher.
