Debbie, God may use us in our sickness, disease, poverty, etc. to touch the lives of others, but that doesn't mean that He's the one who made us that way. I knew a girl who had terrible heart troubles and out of her being in and out of a certain hospital, she got to know some people and plant some seeds. She over came the odds and now her transplanted heart is working as good as mine (with which there has never been any medical problems). But God didn't give her the heart condition so she could touch those people, not one place in the Bible does it say that God gave someone a sickness to do the work of the ministry. God used the fact that she had a heart condition and was in that hospital interacting with those people. God didn't look down from Heaven one day and say, "I'm going to make sister so and so sick so they can be a good witness to Dr. Whoever." On the contrary, it probably went more like this, "Sister so and so is in the hospital under the care of Dr. Whoever. Her family is asking me to guide the hands of the doctors and nurses, so I'll do that. I know she will tell Dr. Whoever that the LORD has healed her." Do you see the difference? I don't know where people get the idea that we were given sickness to fulfill something. It certainly isn't in the Bible. Also, if God put sickness on us for a reason, then why would Jesus go around undoing all the Father's work? To which verse in 2 Cor 1 are you referring? Jesified |

Jesified I have been reading your responses and you must be a Rhema Student or attend a Rhema affiliate bible school. Interesting! You said "But God didn't give her the heart condition so she could touch those people, not one place in the Bible does it say that God gave someone a sickness to do the work of the ministry" I beg to differ, John 9:2-3 And His disciples asked Him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he would be born blind?" [3] Jesus answered, "It was neither that this man sinned, nor his parents; but it was so that the works of God might be displayed in him. I would say this man was blind so God could display his works (Jesus’ ministry) through him. Also read Exodus 4:11 The Lord said to him, "Who has made man's mouth? Or who makes him mute or deaf, or seeing or blind? Is it not I, the Lord? God is sovereign and He does what ever he wants. Psalm 115:3 But our God is in the heavens; He does whatever He pleases.
