For eons of years, people have struggled to categorize the strength exhibited by the power of prayer and modern medicine. Regardless of how advanced the healthcare system/modern medicine is, adhering to every single requirement it requires to attain perfect health is nearly impossible.
The healing potential of the power of prayer is a phenomena that has befuddled many, as they are unable to explain it. Nevertheless, the belief in it hasn’t waned over the years. It’s not uncommon to hear sick people pray for healing and even ask others to intercede on their behalf. One doesn’t have to be affiliated with a religious body to believe and want to benefit from the healing power of prayer.
Sadly, not everyone is going to be able to benefit from the awe-inspiring power of prayer. There are several instances of people who prayed repeatedly and profusely but weren’t granted healing. And this leads to the question – who does God heal through prayer?
Who God Heals Through The Power Of Prayer
With the power of prayer God heals the righteous and virtuous people. The prayer of a righteous person to God for healing can persuade the Almighty God to send his angels to perform wonders in their body, giving them perfect health.
God oversees the affairs of the world auspiciously, and this is why He deals with virtuous people in a just and upright way. Sadly, only a few virtuous individuals can receive their healing directly from God through prayer and faith.
And this leads to another question – why can’t the vast majority of people access their healing through the power of prayer?
Understanding Why Certain Individuals Can’t Access The Healing Potential of Prayer
The power of prayer cannot be accessed by the majority of people because they lack the high moral standards required to make the type of prayer needed. They cannot access the healing potential of prayer because their praying ability is limited by their imperfections. One must attain a certain level of spiritual perfection to be able to request healing through prayer.
Unfortunately, humans are plagued by their vulnerability to sin and negative traits. And this limits their ability to properly pray. This is why some people can’t receive their healing through prayer. But this doesn’t mean that all hope is lost. The Almighty God has made provision for people in this category to still be able to access healing.
Hope For Those Who Can’t Benefit From The Power of Prayer
People who can’t benefit from the healing power of prayers can still be healed through other ways like modern medicine and herbal remedies.
Herbal Remedies
God has provided us with an astonishing variety of plants, trees and herbs. Every single one of them has been blessed with power from the stars above them. They have a unique power to cure specific illnesses as well as numerous healing properties. Those with knowledge of herbal remedies speak to these herbs and galvanize them to perform wonders in sick bodies.
Unfortunately, there are exceptions to the rule – there are individuals who can’t receive healing through prayer, herbal remedies and modern medicine. It may seem that no matter the means used, these individuals repeatedly suffer from one or a multitude of illnesses with not a single cure in sight.
These individuals are usually subject to the following;
Curses
In many instances, people who are unable to find a cure or are constantly plagued with illnesses are cursed. This curse could be rooted in ignorance, waywardness and delinquency. .
Bad Karma
Some sick individuals are dealing with the repercussions of past mistakes. These mistakes could have been made in a past life but have now come to haunt them in the form of unending and incurable illness(es).
Destiny
Some people are destined to die at a particular time, so no matter the amount of treatment administered to these people, they are going to suffer from these illnesses till they die. Prayer, herbal remedies and modern medicine cannot save these persons.
Mental Issues
Many people are oblivious to the fact that not every illness stems from our physical bodies. The mental state of people plays a major role in their physical health. This is why issues like mental disorders, depression, grief, etc. can jeopardize your physical health and no amount of treatment given to the physical body can solve it.
Prayer is the foundation of healing but not everyone can benefit from it. This is why God has provided other means for people to be healed — herbal remedies and modern medicine. However, we must bear in mind that the answer to some illnesses lies beyond the physical.
