Physical health is always in proportion to spiritual wholesomeness in the life of a believer. The distinction between healing and health has to be carefully maintained in our minds. We may receive miraculous healings and deliverances which may not be an indicator of our spiritual status. However to walk in health has to include both our physical and spiritual aspects and we cannot afford to ignore the one or stress on the other. To give an illustration, our train of health and wholesomeness has to keep moving. Once in a while, we will arrive at stations and physical evidences like miracles or healings can be like a sign to encourage us and boost us on in our journey. But that does not mean that our train should remain there till the next miracle happens. The apostle Paul put it in focus for us when he says in 1Th 5:23 - Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
