Someone put out the commonplace error that God never 'healed Paul'.

The fact is, Paul was never sick. The Scriptural evidence abounds that he was persecuted (28+ records) but never sick (0 records).

The saying 'thorn in the flesh' is used 2x in the Old Testament (its original usages) and always refers to 'persecution'. Numbers 33:55 and Judges 2:3

Paul ALSO clarified it in II Corinthians 12:7 calling the thorns, messengers of satan. THIS is not sickness, this is PEOPLE. People who harrass, intimidate, and persecute. Ask me. I've known them for 67 years.

Putting it all together, Paul was tired of being persecuted, but God could not take it away, seeing as persecution is promised to 'all who live righteously in Christ Jesus'. Paul was no exception.

ALSO, Jesus Christ healed EVERYONE who came to him; bar none. (Acts 10:38)

And he confessed that he ALWAYS did the Father's will. (John 6:38)

Adding that up, it is the Fathers will to heal ALL who will come to Christ for healing.

Amen.
