Bluxx -
Welcome to Web-Church.
I think we all struggle with this. I can only tell you that I have seen so many miraculous events in my own life that I cannot possibly recount them all.
Sometimes people are healed and sometimes not - the reasons I cannot possibly know, let alone explain. Let it be understood that our Salvation does not require that we be in perfect health.
I think the hardest healing to receive is that when one prays for himself. It seems that God is more likely to heal some other that one prays for rather than one's self.
Generally speaking God does not "put on a show", He more often works subtly. After all, if there were an automatic healing formula, people would simply take it for granted as we tend to do in all things and no personal relationship with the Lord would develop.
Instead, God demands the exercise of faith where-in there is a gradual accumulation of proofs on a personal level to strengthen one's faith but remain un-convincing to doubters. If you carefully re-examine the miracles in the Old Testament, you will realize that they were largely done in such a way as to leave room for doubt.
Doubt is key to our being forgivable. Satan and all of the angels who defected from God with Satan; did so with full and complete knowledge of God. Because of this, they are un-forgivable. We hoever operate in ignorance and thus we are forgivable.
God is Spirit and we must worship Him in spirit and in truth. He is the Rewarder of those who believe that He exists and diligently seek Him.
Shalom.
