I asked artificial intelligence ChatGPT to "compose a sermon on divine healing from the perspective of a Calvinist and charismatic Christian." ChatGPT composed a pretty good sermon.

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
Today, we come together to discuss the topic of divine healing, a subject that has been widely debated in the Christian community. As both a Calvinist and a charismatic Christian, I believe that divine healing is a gift from God that is available to us through faith and prayer.
Firstly, as a Calvinist, I believe that God is sovereign and in control of all things, including sickness and healing. This means that ultimately, it is God who chooses whether or not to heal someone. However, this does not mean that we should not pray for healing or that God does not desire to heal us. In fact, we are commanded to pray for one another and to ask for healing (James 5:14-16).
Secondly, as a charismatic Christian, I believe that the Holy Spirit is still active in the world today and continues to perform miracles, including divine healing. I believe that God can and does heal people through the power of the Holy Spirit, and that this is something that we should actively seek and pray for.
So, what does this mean for us in terms of divine healing? As Calvinists, we must recognize that ultimately, God is in control of our health and well-being. We must trust in His sovereignty and His plan for our lives, even if that plan involves suffering or illness. At the same time, as charismatic Christians, we must also believe in the power of prayer and the possibility of divine healing. We should pray for healing for ourselves and for others, and we should have faith that God can and will heal us if it is His will.
It is important to note, however, that divine healing is not a guarantee, and we should not place our faith in healing alone. We must remember that our ultimate hope and salvation is found in Jesus Christ, not in our physical health. Even if we are not physically healed, we can still find peace, comfort, and hope in Christ, knowing that He is with us always and that He has overcome the world (John 16:33).
In conclusion, as both Calvinists and charismatic Christians, we must hold onto both the sovereignty of God and the power of prayer and faith in regards to divine healing. Let us pray for healing for ourselves and for others, but also trust in God's plan for our lives and find our ultimate hope and peace in Christ.
May God bless us and keep us always in His love and care.
Amen.
