The Bible does not specifically link physical healing with spiritual healing. People are often healed physically when they put their faith in Christ-but that is not always the case. Sometimes it is God's will to heal, and sometimes it is not. The apostle John gives us an appropriate perspective: "And this is the confidence we have in him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him "(1 John 5: 14-15).
