I believe God worlks through doctors and science but I’ve also seen His work and it’s real. My sister-in-law was hospitalized, advanced pancreatic cancer. She was a saint and many prayed for her. She was on pain killers every 2 hrs, couldn’t sleep, in constant pain. A friend went to the Padre Pio Shrine to take prayers and that night, Mara slept. She woke up the next day, made her bed, and was pain free. She took no narcotics and the docs were amazed.
Her nerve block had been on hold because of drugs but she was able to get it after she was off pain killers. She did cross over about six months later but never had that horrible pain again and her time was good. She enjoyed her family and for the most part felt good up until the end. She looked the same when she died, same weight, and beautiful. Again, this was pancreatic cancer.
I don’t know why God acts when he does but our sermon at church today was on that subject. God’s the creator, we’re the creation. He’s not our friend or buddy and He doesn’t have to answer to us. When He shows grace like with Mara, only He knows the reason.
But I guarantee you, it’s not wrong.

Bravo! I believe this to be the reality. God is under no obligation to heal anyone and HE alone makes the decision whom to heal. God redeemed us through a MAN (Jesus), He heals us through our fellowmen.
Actually, the lion share of healing is done by the intelligence and healing knowledge built your own cells.
For example, if you break a bone, the "doctors and science" will only bring together and align the broken bones, but the actual healing which will fuse the fragments into a single functional bone again is done in the subsequent weeks and months by your own cells. That's where the bulk of the healing is done.
For majority of chronic diseases which are not as simple and with self-evident solution such as bringing together the broken bone segments, the entire healing is done by your own cells.
In all such cases the interventions by the sickness industry are merely a self-serving interference with the healing process by masking the symptoms (which are often the internal signals to trigger the self-healing), seeking to keep you coming back for the rest of your life paying their goods and services. Their preferred business model is life-long subscription.
