The last couple of years, I have had problems with my stomach, I have gerd, and barrets espohgaus and maybe something more but not sure the name of it. I have thought about it, because it has come up in Conversation with the doctors about having a operation, not a big deal but with any surgery their could be complications. But after 68 operations in my life, I have to ask myself, another one, God do I really have to have another one. We sing the songs that claim that God is the God that healeth thee, and I believe that 100%, why because it says it in his Word, and we see and read the stories about it. Matthew 8:5-13 NASB 5 And awhen 1Jesus entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, imploring Him,
6 and saying, “Lord, my servant is lying aparalyzed at home, fearfully tormented.”
7 Jesus *said to him, “I will come and heal him.”
8 But the centurion said, “1Lord, I am not worthy for You to come under my roof, but just say the word, and my servant will be healed.
9 “For I also am a man under authority, with soldiers under me; and I say to this one, ‘Go!’ and he goes, and to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes, and to my slave, ‘Do this!’ and he does it.”
10 Now when Jesus heard this, He marveled and said to those who were following, “Truly I say to you, I have not found such great faith with anyone in Israel.
11 “I say to you that many awill come from east and west, and recline at the table with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven;
12 but athe sons of the kingdom will be cast out into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
6 and saying, “Lord, my servant is lying aparalyzed at home, fearfully tormented.”
7 Jesus *said to him, “I will come and heal him.”
8 But the centurion said, “1Lord, I am not worthy for You to come under my roof, but just say the word, and my servant will be healed.
9 “For I also am a man under authority, with soldiers under me; and I say to this one, ‘Go!’ and he goes, and to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes, and to my slave, ‘Do this!’ and he does it.”
10 Now when Jesus heard this, He marveled and said to those who were following, “Truly I say to you, I have not found such great faith with anyone in Israel.
11 “I say to you that many awill come from east and west, and recline at the table with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven;
12 but athe sons of the kingdom will be cast out into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
13 And Jesus said to the centurion, “Go; it shall be done for you as you have believed.” And the servant was healed that very moment.
Matthew 15:21-28 (NASB) Healing Crowds
29 Departing from there, Jesus went along by the Sea of Galilee, and having gone up on the mountain, He was sitting there.
30 And large crowds came to Him, bringing with them those who were lame, crippled, blind, mute, and many others, and they laid them down at His feet; and He healed them.
31 So the crowd marveled as they saw the mute speaking, the crippled restored, and the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel.

We also know that their may be reasons why God doesn't heal us. Do we have a lack of faith, is their sin in our lives that is preventing God from healing us, or does God just want us to go to the doctors. I have had a conversation with a friend of mine, who was injured in Iraq, and he has neck and back problems, and we hace prayed together for healing before going into the doctors for the operation. But God hasn't healed him yet, it doesn't mean that God won't heal him or you after the surgery, but sometimes their is a human fear in our lives that we don't want to face surgery. For those of you, me included that may be having to face surgery, whether big or small, use it as a testimony, tell the doctor before you go in, that you are beliving that God will heal you quicker than the doctors report. Show the doctors your faith by praying before the surgery, pray for the doctors, my Mom and I used to do that before my surgeries, and believe by faith that God will guide and direct the doctors hands. Yes God can and still does heal, but God also created the ability of the doctors to do these surgeries, and thats why they are here. Be thankful to God, that although He hasn't healed you yet before the surgery, you will have a quick and full recovery because God has given the doctors the ability to complete the surgery.
