Today God still heals His trusting ones, but now directly by His hand, as He chooses, but no longer for the asking, or via intermediaries. You see, unlike God's dealings with Israel "as a nation," God today deals with His trusting blood bought Spirit-birthed children one on one. He cares for us according to His love, His will and wisdom, by "the supply of Jesus Christ" (Philip 1:19) now resident within every believer's human spirit. Christ indwelling the believer is God's full provision.

Today, while God is still able to deliver us from suffering and some times does, more often today, under "the dispensation of the grace of God" (Eph 3:2), the mode of deliverance from suffering has greatly changed. The Christian today is delivered by much different means than the miracles we read of in those historical Biblical accounts of Jesus of Nazareth and the twelve Apostles.

The age and dispensation has changed from one of outward deliverance from suffering, to…an inner equipping and enabling of believers to endure and overcome suffering by the indwelling resurrection life of Christ (Col 1:27).

Suffering is now seen in Paul's writings to be linked to the manifestation of the glory or expression of Christ's life in the believer's life.

Romans 8:17-18 (KJV) And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. 18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

Personally, there was a time in our early Christian life that my wife and I were miraculously delivered outwardly from difficult situations; with physical healings, jobs, confirmations, and such. But now some 40 years later, this is not how He deals with us. There seems to have been a correlation between maturity and responsibility as we've grown in Christ. We've learned and continue to learn …to let go of self-reliance so as to trust Him and rely upon His indwelling life while in the midst of all the troublesome situations and things that occur in our lives. Trusting Him, we find a rich supply of peace and rest, even while the difficult situations still persists.
