    That seems pretty conclusive that nt all healings are instantaneous, some can also be incomplete and through backsliding a worse thing (than the healed disease) can come upon them
    The lepers weren't healed until after they started travelling to show themselves to the priests as cleansed of their leprosy, according to the requirements of the law. They had faith, walked according to that faith and the process of their being healed was completed only after a while. So that is possible. The question is if those who mimic these things have actual faith for healing.

    We don't know if he did or if he didn't. Probably none of the accounts are exhaustive on what happened and what was said. There is a sum to the accounts in the gospels that we may learn from. The main point is that there is no account of him ever telling anyone that they would lose their healing unless they kept standing in faith for that healing - after having been healed.

    Since Jesus talked about demons returning with seven others to get into their former house again, he may well have talked to the man with a legion of demons about the same theme at great length (and about not continuing in sin), we just don't know.

    If the devil is behind every sickness then why doesn't he get equally upset when Christians are healed by medical science and have no faith whatsoever for healing ? Why doesn't he retake what he had by casting symptoms of the disease at the Christian who got well this way ? Or is he powerless against medical science ?

    There is no issue with healing when it comes over time but when the fullness finally arrives it should not be easily lost as to cause fear

    A worse thing is not losing your healing but losing your salvation

    Slewfoot loves to trap people in to ANYTHING that is not trusting God and counting on the Lord as their source of supply... such as medical science.

    Sure, most doctors mean well... but they are operating in the wisdom of mankind, in the arm of the flesh and it works in satan's favor when someone seeks out what the flesh can do to solve any issues in life rather then learning to grow and trust in the Lord.

    Medical science has a pretty poor track record over all and there are new diseases they are finding out about almost daily that they have absolutely no clue as to how to treat them... but, Jesus has already purchased healing for us!
