And he did!
Punctuation is also good.
God wants all the saved in His presence, and it is purchased by the Blood of Christ, but hasn't happened yet.
God wants His Son ruling on David's throne, and it is purchased by the Blood of Christ, but our Lord is not on David's throne in Jerusalem yet.
If all the sick were well . . . it would be the Millennium.

great post. thank you.
Yes. He has brought significant healing to my life and continues to do so. However, there are times when He does not heal. Sometimes we pray for things and the answer is “No.” But we are always to pray and to trust.
This is good stuff, Deacon Broom.
Our Pastor promotes God’s healing power through His Son Jesus. He has opened our eyes to God’s healing power.
Isaiah 53:5(NKJV):
5 But He was wounded for our transgressions,
He was bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His stripes we are healed.
Note well: not “we might be healed, someday” — but “we ARE healed”. In His love for us and His death on the cross of calvary, He already purchased our healing. It’s a “done deal”. Healing is ours for the taking, if we simply in faith reach out and take it.
Praise be to GOD, and to His Son Jesus!
God bless you, and FRegards
So, how do people who have the kind of faith that brings about God’s healing die?
Why was Paul not healed of the “Thorn in his flesh”?
Why do bad things happen to believers?
A better/higher view of God is required to hint at the answers to the above.
So, in theory, our Charismatic brothers and sisters should never die.
Or wear eyeglasses.
Or have cavities.
Or any other infirmity.
We ought to see them strolling around a couple thousand years old.
For thousands of years people thought about flying, but did not. It wasn't until very recently in time that anyone flew. In all of time it was as possible to fly as it is now, but nobody knew how. An airplane must have all of it's components, plus fuel to fly. Take out any one of many important parts, or change them in the least, and it will not take off.
Faith, I believe, is like this. One must believe correctly, and live correctly, before Almighty God, for Him to answer you with mighty works, impossible apart from His intervention. To have faith, one must believe, and believing defies everything that one has experienced, or has known about the natural world and much of it's history. One, in all reality, must believe in God's ability, and His willingness to do works, that go way beyond our common understanding of how the material world operates.
Because not very many mighty, nature defying, completely unexplainable, apart from God's intervention, feats of faith have been seen or experienced, doesn't mean that they are any less possible then flight by man. It means that few know what it means to believe in God in such a way that He will perform them.
If God guaranteed healing now in this life, then why are people not healed? You are making God out to be a liar.
The ultimate healing will not take place on this earth or in this body. Gods grace through the shed blood of Jesus the Christ his son, and the Holy Spirit will sustain me until that happens.
Ever read Job?
I know and see around me so many people whom God hasn’t healed, whether he wanted to or not, which I would suggest is not known. And I’m one of them. Perhaps it is that God wants us healed while his people want us wounded.
