1 | Divine Healing? | Matthew | Jesified | 72337 | ||
EdB, Exodus 4:11 doesn't convince me. It says that He made the mute, it doesn't say that He made the mute be mute. It definately says that He created the individual which is mute but I don't see much more than that. What does God have to gain from a mute or deaf disciple? What other reason does the world have to get saved than because they want what we have? They want to feel loved, we have the love of God living in us. They want to go to Heaven when they die, we're already going. They want to be healed, we were healed at Calvary. They want to be deaf...wait a minute...who wants to be deaf? What other attraction to the Christian life than it's better than living in the world? Also, I agree it's far better to see a man come to Jesus than to see a man walk for the first time in years. However, if God healing that man can increase his zeal for God and help him to lead others to Christ then I'm all for it. I don't know one person who was saved because they got up and said, "Praise God i'm blind!" But I do know that my own mother was healed supernaturaly and that played an intrical part in eventually leading my father, brother, and I to Christ. This is not just my experience it happened in the Bible too. Look at Acts 3 and 4. In these chapters, God heals a lame man through Peter and John. Then the lame man walks into the temple and Peter and John explain what happened, preach Christ, and though they are arrested, look at chapter 4 verse 4. Many believed. Now if you lead a man to salvation that saves him and maybe his family. If a man gets healed, it is a testimony of God's love and power that also has the abuility to reach many more. I am not saying that a man being healed is greater than a man being saved, but I think in an effort to prove your point that you minimized the effectiveness of divine healing. Jesified |

Jesified Miracles don't lead people into real relationship with God. Look at the children of Israel they walked through the Red Sea on 'dry ground' with water stacked up on either side of them and what did they do when they got to the other side? Turned on God. Jesus healed 10 lepers yet only one returned to worship Him. That is the problem in way to many churches today we have people coming to see miracles not God. They are seeking the spectacular rather than the supernatural. Ask anyone you know if your had two identical churches across the street from each other. One had a worship service where 100 were saved and the other had a person raised for a wheel chair. which church would have the crowd the next service. To a person when I asked this, each said the church that had the person raised from the wheel chair. Yet the first church had 100 greater miracles (not as spectacular) that would last for eternity. People want the spectacular and in doing so they miss the supernatural. The word say seek first the kingdom of God. In to many churches they are teaching seek the benefits and hope you find God. The emphasis has to be removed from the miraculous and back to the miracle worker. Remember Jesus warned us there would be those that worked mighty miracles in His name but that He never knew them. I did not say all miracles are of Satan or that all the people through which God chooses to use in miracles are of Satan. I'm saying anyone that focuses our eyes on the miracle rather than the miracle maker is of Satan. EdB |
