Dear Forum,
Our physical bodies are the body of Christ. That is where He dwells. We are His temple. I believe that Jesus does heal people of illnesses and even brings people back from death. I have personally seen people healed with prayer many times. However He does it in His time. Sometimes we are on our time, and want instant results. He does heal that way sometimes, and other times, He gives us the knowledge to help heal the body. Faith is very important. I would say to this young man that he must continue to believe that God will heal him. But he should not neglect to do what he can to help his body in the meantime.

Here is a question that was asked on a newsletter that I got
permission to use. Since diabetes effects the spiritual life as well
as the physical, I thought we would turn it up a notch and answer this
question:
God Healing Sickness or Disabilities?
Dear Forum: -- I am 26 years old and at age 5 was diagnosed with
diabetes. At the time my parents were told by God that I would be
healed. Many years later I have grown worse, medically speaking. I
have read the scriptures on healing and believe that God does not make
vain promises. Here is my question, "How do I go about exercising my
faith in the matter of my being healed?" I risk loss of limbs and, or
coma by not taking my medication and I think that makes the faith
thing that much harder. God bless. --"Mortimer"
