Why did Sis Urshan die? She probably had a million or more people praying for her.
I wish I could change the title of this thread.
Why do most of you think that you need a lot of people praying for your healing? The more... the better..., or so they say.
Maybe among a lot of people there's a better chance that God will hear one of them?
Maybe there's someone in the group that can pray the prayer of faith? You know God has His favorites, right?
God, I've pulled all the levers and pushed all the buttons, why haven't you healed me?

Larry sometimes God gives our final healing and that is death.
It happens to the best of us.

This is seriously bad taste to use someone else for your example that might be held dear to so many people on this board

There is a sickness unto death
God is sovereign and we are never going to figure out why he heals some people and not others. He has his own reasons.
As the song says "Heaven holds all the answers that time wil never tell".

You know you have to bombard heaven to get God's attention?
You know what the Bible says about the man who went to his friend at midnight asking for bread? He just kept on knocking? Right?

Short answer, old age, health problems.
Long Answer, the already but not yet, healing is available, but not everyone is healed, I am at a point in my ministry that I finally understand this. The kingdom has come in Jesus, how much I experience of it is up to him, my job is to pray that it comes.

James was beheaded, Tromiphius left sick, Timothy was encouraged to take wine, Paul's Thorn, shows that healing in this life at best is partial, the Gifts of the Spirit help us know what and who God is healing.

Lot's of good answers already- but what are you getting at BigLar? The dear sister was almost 80 years old. That's a lot of living, let her rest now.
