1 | Can sickness ever be part of Gods will? | Job | bradleyjames | 116207 | ||
Is it Gods will for Everybody to be in perfect health? And Given there are specific gifts in the body of Christ. Can one be healed by simply believing and asking through prayer if they don't have the gift of healing? | ||||||
2 | Can sickness ever be part of Gods will? | Job | Rowdy | 116208 | ||
I gather from the book of Job that God is NOT the source of the pain and suffering or disease in this world but He does allow it to exist as in Job's story. The main reason for all this misery in the world is so we WON'T get hooked on this world but instead look forward to the Home we have waiting for us in Heaven. I'm convinced since God is spiritual and our inner essence is spiritual, he wants us to reach the point of maturity that we actually look forward to going to this Home in Heaven, ALTHOUGH He wants us to wait for His timing. I also don't think there's anyone left on earth from the 1st century having miraculous powers of healing, speaking in tongues, etc. because all those powers died with the Apostles and the ones on whom they laid their hands. Those gifts were ushered into this world for one express purpose as follows: Acts 14:2 But the Jews who refused to believe stirred up the Gentiles and poisoned their minds against the brothers. 3So Paul and Barnabas spent considerable time there, speaking boldly for the Lord, who confirmed the message of his grace by enabling them to do miraculous signs and wonders. 4The people of the city were divided; some sided with the Jews, others with the apostles. This statement of mine SHOULD NOT be taken to mean that I DON'T believe in miracles directly from God through prayer as you've mentioned, for I do believe. HOWEVER, we must accept God's Will when we don't get the answer for which we're looking. Above all, we MUST pray that our will comes to closer and closer alignment with God's Will. Then, we truly will find peace. Good questions and God bless. |
