“Porque eu bem sei os pensamentos que tenho a vosso respeito, diz o Senhor; pensamentos de paz, e não de mal, para vos dar o fim que esperais.” – Jeremias 29:11
Em relação a cura você pode estar em um destes 5 casos de acordo com a Bíblia.
1 – Pessoas que Tiveram Fé e Alcançaram a Cura:
- A mulher do fluxo de sangue – Mateus 9:22 “E Jesus, voltando-se, e vendo-a, disse: Tem ânimo, filha, a tua fé te salvou. E imediatamente a mulher ficou sã.”;
- O cego Bartimeu – Marcos 10:52 “E Jesus lhe disse: Vai, a tua fé te salvou. E logo viu, e seguiu a Jesus pelo caminho.”.
2 – Pessoas que não Tiveram Fé e Foram Curadas:
- Lázaro estava morto – morto não manifesta fé – João 11:42 – 44 “… para que creiam que tu me enviaste. E, tendo dito isto, clamou com grande voz: Lázaro, sai para fora. E o defunto saiu, …”;
- O paralítico de Betesda foi curado sem manifestar fé – João 5:7-9 “Senhor, não tenho homem algum que, … me ponha no tanque; … Jesus disse-lhe: Levanta-te, toma o teu leito, e anda. Logo aquele homem ficou são; e tomou o seu leito, e andava.
3 – Pessoas que Foram Curadas pela Fé de Outros:
- O servo do centurião – Lucas 7:9 e 10 “… Jesus, maravilhou-se dele, e voltando-se, disse … Digo-vos que nem ainda em Israel tenho achado tanta fé. E, voltando para casa os que foram enviados, acharam são o servo”;
- O paralítico descido pelo telhado por seus amigos – Marcos 2:5, 11 e 12 “E Jesus, vendo a fé deles, disse ao paralítico: Filho, perdoados estão os teus pecados. … Levanta-te, toma o teu leito, e vai para tua casa. E levantou-se e, tomando logo o leito, …”.
4 – A Manifestação da Glória de Deus:
- Jó sofre sem culpa pessoal – Jó 42:10 “E o Senhor virou o cativeiro de Jó, quando orava pelos seus amigos; e o Senhor acrescentou, em dobro, a tudo quanto Jó antes possuía.”;
- O cego de nascença – João 9:3 “Jesus respondeu: Nem ele pecou nem seus pais; mas foi assim para que se manifestem nele as obras de Deus.”.
5 – A Graça para Suportar e Continuar ao Invés da Cura:
- Paulo recebe um espinho na carne para não se ensoberbecer acerca das revelações que Deus permitia a ele – 2ª Coríntios 12:8 e 9 “Acerca do qual três vezes orei ao Senhor para que se desviasse de mim. E disse-me: A minha graça te basta, porque o meu poder se aperfeiçoa na fraqueza. De boa vontade, pois, me gloriarei nas minhas fraquezas, para que em mim habite o poder de Cristo.”.
Por fim duas coisas importantes a se considerar neste caso:
- A fé não obriga Deus a curar, mas Deus age onde há confiança nele;
- O maior foco da Bíblia não é evitar a doença, mas conhecer a Deus.

If I Don't Have Faith, Will I Not Be Healed?
“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.” – Jeremiah 29:11
Regarding healing, you may fall into one of these 5 cases according to the Bible:
1 – People Who Had Faith and Were Healed:
The woman with the issue of blood – Matthew 9:22: “But Jesus turned around, and when He saw her He said, ‘Be of good cheer, daughter; your faith has made you well.’ And the woman was made well from that hour.”
Blind Bartimaeus – Mark 10:52: “Then Jesus said to him, ‘Go your way; your faith has made you well.’ And immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus on the road.”
2 – People Who Did Not Have Faith and Were Healed:
Lazarus was dead – the dead do not manifest faith – John 11:42-44: “…that they may believe that You sent Me. Now when He had said these things, He cried with a loud voice, ‘Lazarus, come forth!’ And he who had died came out…”
The paralytic at Bethesda was healed without manifesting faith – John 5:7-9: “‘Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool…’ Jesus said to him, ‘Rise, take up your bed and walk.’ And immediately the man was made well, took up his bed, and walked.”
3 – People Who Were Healed by the Faith of Others:
The Centurion’s servant – Luke 7:9-10: “…Jesus marveled at him, and turned around and said… ‘I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!’ And those who were sent, returning to the house, found the servant well.”
The paralytic lowered through the roof by his friends – Mark 2:5, 11-12: “When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, ‘Son, your sins are forgiven you… Arise, take up your bed, and go to your house.’ Immediately he arose, took up the bed…”
4 – The Manifestation of God’s Glory:
Job suffers without personal guilt – Job 42:10: “And the Lord restored Job’s losses when he prayed for his friends. Indeed the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before.”
The man born blind – John 9:3: “Jesus answered, ‘Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but that the works of God should be revealed in him.'”
5 – Grace to Endure and Continue Instead of Healing:
Paul receives a thorn in the flesh to keep him from being conceited about his revelations – 2 Corinthians 12:8-9: “Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me. And He said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.”
Finally, two important things to consider:
Faith does not force God to heal, but God acts where there is trust in Him;
The main focus of the Bible is not avoiding sickness, but knowing God.

如果我没有信心,我就不会痊愈吗?
“耶和华说:我知道我向你们所怀的意念是赐平安的意念,不是降灾祸的意念,要叫你们末后有指望。” —— 耶利米书 29:11
关于医治,根据圣经,你可能属于以下 5 种情况之一:
1 – 有信心并获得医治的人:
患血漏的女人 —— 马太福音 9:22:“耶稣转过来,看见她,就说:‘女儿,放心!你的信救了你。’ 从那时候,女人就痊愈了。”
瞎子巴底买 —— 马可福音 10:52:“耶稣说:‘你去吧!你的信救了你了。’ 瞎子立刻看见了,就在路上跟随耶稣。”
2 – 没有表现出信心但获得医治的人:
拉撒路已经死了 —— 死人无法表现信心 —— 约翰福音 11:42-44:“……叫他们信是你差了我来。说了这话,就大声呼叫说:‘拉撒路出来!’ 那死人就出来了……”
毕士大的瘫子 —— 在没有表现信心的情况下痊愈 —— 约翰福音 5:7-9:“‘先生,水动的时候,没有人把我放在池子里……’ 耶稣对他说:‘起来,拿你的褥子走吧!’ 那人立刻痊愈了,就拿起褥子走了。”
3 – 因他人的信心而获得医治的人:
百夫长的仆人 —— 路加福音 7:9-10:“……耶稣听见这话,就希奇他,转身对跟随的众人说:‘我告诉你们,这么大的信心,就是在以色列中,我也没有遇见过。’ 那奉差遣的人回到家里,看见仆人已经好了。”
被朋友从房顶缒下的瘫子 —— 马可福音 2:5, 11-12:“耶稣见他们的信心,就对瘫子说:‘小子,你的罪赦了。……我吩咐你,起来!拿你的褥子回家去吧。’ 那人就起来,立刻拿着褥子……”
4 – 神荣耀的彰显:
约伯在无辜中受苦 —— 约伯记 42:10:“约伯为他的朋友祈祷。耶和华就使约伯从苦境转回,并且耶和华赐给他的比他从前所有的加倍。”
生来瞎眼的人 —— 约翰福音 9:3:“耶稣回答说:‘也不是这人犯了罪,也不是他父母犯了罪,是要在他身上显出神的作为来。’”
5 – 蒙恩得以忍耐并前行,而非医治:
保罗肉体上的刺 —— 为了不让他因所得的启示过于自高 —— 哥林多后书 12:8-9:“为这事,我三次求过主,叫这刺离开我。他对我说:‘我的恩典够你用的,因为我的能力是在人的软弱上显得完全。’ 所以,我更喜欢夸自己的软弱,好叫基督的能力覆庇我。”
最后,有两点非常重要:
信心并不能强迫神去医治,但神会在人信靠他的地方动工;
圣经的核心重点不是避免疾病,而是认识神。
