A better analogy would be something like:

Let's say that I had a broken arm with a cast on it.  Now, if I later 
take that cast off of my arm and walk around without it would I be 
living a lie?  Well, it all comes down to whether or not my arm was 
actually healed before I take that cast off of my arm.

If God healed my arm and I DON'T take that cast off then I would be 
living a lie.  If my arm were NOT healed and I took that cast off then I 
still would be living a lie.  BUT if God healed my arm and I take that 
cast off then I would NOT be living a lie, but be a living testimony of 
the power of God to heal.

I leave it to the reader to make the proper application in the current 
discussion.
