Being sick is never fun, but when you feel like you have been hit by a sledge hammer and you are coughing, it is one of the most miserable experiences. I pray that those of you are ill, starting to feel ill, or are perfectly healthy that you never get what my wife and I have had.
You feel good and get up and do stuff, then regret ever moving. I do not think either of us have had the chills although I was just cold, but not the feverish type cold.
Christ can heal and while He is not physically here with us (We cannot see Him), I still think He is present and if we ask, He can heal us.
Matthew 4:23 New International Version (NIV)
Jesus Heals the Sick
23 Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people.
Christ may have physically touched these people to heal them, but that does not mean we still cannot be healed if we ask. Just understand that because you ask, that does not mean it will happen. It all depends on the Gods will. Sometimes we need to suffer to learn and once we have learned, then the healing can begin.
