God can choose to perform a miracle or healing whenever he wants to, but that is for His glory and purposes, and even if he says no, as he did to healing paul, still is God and worthy of all praise!However, Epaphroditus did become sick and Paul had to send him home to Philippi. Epaphroditus wasn't meant to be an evangelist--he had a different role to fill.
And as we can clearly see in Paul's letter to the Galatians, while he was with them he had suffered an eye ailment even at the same time that they were experiencing miracles.
We have to understand that the Lord does everything for His purposes, not ours. The Lord does nothing miraculous to satisfy our own lusts.
God healed me miraculously 30 years ago. That doesn't mean I haven't had any illnesses since then. I don't need another miracle to understand God's power--I'll only need another miracle when it's necessary for something the Lord intends me to accomplish.
