Since God can perform instantaneous miracles, why does He use process healing? 

Here’s an example of Paul doing two types of healing in the same situation

  • Laid his hands on him and healed (Iaomiahim. (Acts 28:8 NKJV) This appears to be an instantaneous healing.
  • The rest of those on the island who had diseases also came and were healed (Therapeua - Acts 28:9 NKJV). We get our English word "therapeutic" from this Greek word.
  • Wow, two different Greek words for healing are being used in this story.

There are many moving pieces in the healing protocols God has provided us. To not get confused or overwhelmed, it is best just to be aware of these options and then in each situation, tune to the Spirit, and allow the River of God to show us how to arrive at a fully manifest healing.

Living by the Spirit means we are continually
being carried along by the current of God’s River of Life

"God has a constantly flowing river whose sparkling streams bring joy and delight
to his people. His river flows right through the city of God Most High, into his holy dwelling places."
(Eph. 5:25; Ps. 46:4 TPT; Rev. 21:1,2)
