Could this description contrast with the Bible more sharply? Actually, yes. This world-famous faith-healer goes on to discuss the possibility that instant healing may be a curse.
When [healing] is instant, thank God for it, but sometimes it is gradual. [A certain doctor] said that sometimes instant healing is a curse, because some people get healed, go away, and forget God. He believed that people who are gradually healed can see that they get better and better as they walk in God.
If the media minister’s doctor-friend was right, then Jesus and His apostles devoted their miraculous ministry to healings that were more likely to be curses. For their miracles produced instant success. Of course there is nothing miraculous, in the biblical sense, about gradual healings. That is the usual way that people everywhere—religious or irreligious, believing or unbelieving, Christian or pagan—recover from their illnesses. God has placed into the human body natural processes whereby injuries are healed and diseases overcome. We thank God for that blessing. When considering miracles, however, unseen healings and gradual healings offer nothing outstanding. Nothing of a truly miraculous nature is evident. Most importantly, they do not match the successful and immediately effective miracles of the Scriptures.
