A few weeks ago I read an old book titled “Healing” by Francis MacNutt. Excellent work, very inspiring; though I had to overlook a certain amount of social justice woven into it. He took apart all the common arguments and errors about Christian healing, made a powerful case for it.
I think it was written in the ‘70s so if it’s available online it shouldn’t cost much. Recommend it.

What sickness can resist the power of God.

Uh...the sickness that leads to natural death? It isn't so much that death "can resist" the power of God - because God has power over everything - but we ALL will eventually die in these unglorified bodies (unless the Rapture happens first).

Do you accept that sometimes physical healing of infirmities is NOT in God's plan and that His perfect will sometimes is that we endure suffering so that HE is glorified THROUGH it? I KNOW spiritual healing is part of the atonement but that does not translate to physical healing all the time. Eventually, our corrupt bodies will get sick unto death but one day we will be given incorruptible, glorified bodies with which we will spend eternity with our Lord God and Savior and we will never be sick or die again. I can endure all things through Christ who strengthens me. His grace is sufficient for me because when I am weak, then he is strong.
