Episode Synopsis

What does it mean when God doesn't heal? In this powerful exploration of John 5, we encounter a man who had been disabled for 38 years—waiting hopelessly by a pool rumored to have healing properties. Out of thousands gathered there, Jesus singles out this one man, asks a seemingly cruel question, and then performs an instantaneous miracle.But the story doesn't end with physical healing. When religious leaders criticize the healed man for carrying his mat on the Sabbath, we see how legalism blinds people to God's work. Later, when Jesus finds the man in the temple, He reveals that physical healing was never the ultimate goal—spiritual salvation was.Through personal stories, including the pastor's journey with his daughter Brooklyn who has cerebral palsy, we discover that God's purpose in healing goes far beyond physical comfort. Sometimes the most powerful testimony isn't "God healed me" but "God hasn't removed this difficulty, and I still trust Him completely."The truth is that our healing isn't based on the power of our prayers or the size of our faith, but on God's sovereign purpose. Whatever limitation He leaves in our lives becomes an amplification of His love in the lives of others. As the Apostle Paul discovered with his own "thorn in the flesh," God's grace is sufficient when He chooses not to heal.Whether you're facing physical illness, emotional trauma, or mental health challenges, this message offers hope that transcends circumstances. God sees you, knows your pain, and is working—even when you can't see it. The question isn't if you have enough faith to be healed, but if you have enough faith to remain faithful even if healing doesn't come. Thanks for listening! Find us on Instagram or visit our Website.
