Why you, you ask? Why is it that most people do not get healed, I ask?
My answer to both would be that a person is 'healed' by his own immune
system; but not all immune systems are equal. In the case of cancer, it
is possible that it will go into spontaneous remission, though it
doesn't happen very often. I bet that there would be an amazing
correlation between the frequency of cancer naturally going into
remission and the frequency of cancer being supernaturally healed by
God. It would seem as though God's ability to heal certain individuals
were entirely dependent on those individuals' immune systems. In other
words, God has nothing to do with it!
