1 | Divine Healing, True or False? | Matthew | HeirofGod | 13596 | ||
I don't know if your question has ever been answered but I'd like to give the scriptures I use when I'm praying for divine healing for myself and when laying hands. Is. 53:5 tells us that Jesus died on the cross for our sins and healings. Psalm 103:1-3 there is another scripture in psalms that says I am the Lord God that healeth thee, but I just don't know where. Mark 16:17,18 tells us about laying hands on the sick. I hope these scriptures help you with divine healing. NOw about prosperity, God wants all of his children to live prosperous. Is God poor, so why should we be. 3John:2 explains that as our souls prosper we shall prosper. Every new level we go to in God we recieve a blessing matching it.Romans 8:16-17 tells us who we are in God, we are Heirs of whatever he promised Christ-which is the Earth. The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof...Ps24:1. Everything belongs to the lord. Ps.37:4, Deu.28:1-6,Mal.3:10-12 Deu. 29:9, Phi.4:19, Mark 4:1-20. All these scriptures tell a different side to prosperity. As far as not having enough faith to be healed there is nothing wrong with not having enough faith for healing. Jesus knows that some of us don't have that kind of faith, there were some when he was here. It happens it happened to me and my husband. Prosperity also is a promise of God in Malachi he said if you pay your tithes and offerings he will open up the windows of heaven and pour you out a blessing and rebuke the devourer. If you need more study the seed-time and harvest fact in the scripture. This is how most all Christian prosperity begins. Plant a seed in good ground (meaning plant a monetary seed in a good ministry) and you will recieve 30, 60, or 100 fold. Quick testimony and then i'll let you go, Last year I was out of a job my husband was working but not enough to really pay the bills. We were watching TBN one night during thier Praise-A-Thon and R.W. Shambach asked for a faith seed. We didn't have the money to send but we were going to try to get it. Soon after that I got a job and with my first paycheck I sent 25.00. A couple of months later we really needed some money and it was going to be another week before we got paid my husband was in school at the time and we thought his refund check from them would come that day. It didn't and we were wondering what we were going to do. We then went home and opened our mailbox and in it was a letter from my cousin-I talked to her earlier that month and she told me she needed my address to seed me some pictures of her newborn. When I looked inside the envelope there was a money order in it. At first I thought it said 25.00 but when I looked again it said 250.00. We rejoiced that Friday afternoon because that was the first hundredfold blessing we had ever gotten. Seed-time and harvest works in more ways than one. Believe it! It's real! Love in Christ, Kimberly Jones |

2 | Divine Healing, True or False? | Matthew | EdB | 13620 | ||
After reading what you said about prosperity and seed time and harvest I now know Paul and the disciples were idiots. Instead of taking an offering for Jerusalem Act 11:28 they should have went to Jerusalem and taken a seed offering and the Christians in Jerusalem would have had all the money they needed. Ask yourself one question why aren't any of the Christians in Haiti rich? That kind of preaching only preaches one place in the richest country in the world the US, to people gullible enough to make these preachers rich. Check the facts see how much money these preachers get and from where? You will find they get untold riches and it comes from the pockets of gullible Christians. This is not to say God does not provision us, because he does. He word is clear He will give us what we need to accomplish what He has given us to do. However He never said He would make us rich or give us everything we want. To do that would cause us to become fat, spoiled and useless. As far as divine healing absolutely God heals today, not because of Isaiah 53:5 which is talking about spiritual healing, but rather because of the promise in James 5:14-15. God is our physician and our healer. However all these guys that claim healing ministries should put up or shut up. If they can heal let them close down the hospitals, Aids clinics, and cancer wards. The first thing they say is you have to have faith and people in those places don’t have the faith. The signs and wonders was given to convince the unbeliever not the as entertainment for believers. Kimberly you would benefit yourself to turn off TBN and some of these guys you mentioned. |

3 | Divine Healing, True or False? | Matthew | HeirofGod | 13709 | ||
I don't believe because of them, I believe God. The word says he will heal all of our diseases. This is a promise to the believer not the sinner. Since when is healing an entertainment. Instead of being skeptical about the man believe the power of God. My trust is not in what TBN can do, even though they have spread the Gospel of Jesus around the world, but what about what God's word says. We go on so much about who's trying to scam us and not enough about what GOD told us to do. Hospitals were made for the sick right? Jesus told us in Mark 16:17 to lay hands on the sick and they shall recover. Some people call this charasmatic, but Jesus did it. Aren't we supposed to Mark the Perfect Man. This is what we are all striving for. Have you ever been to Haiti? How do you know that after they recieved Jesus they didn't put these practices into action and become wealthy. We think being wealthy is a sin. He said the love of money is the root of all evil. By the way, television only shows one part of the people in these countries. Do you know how many rich countires are in Africa? Many of the people come to America to go to school and it just so happens that some of them come to a school I went to in TN. Some people end up teaching at the university. Then they leave because they are unhappy in our country. They are rich there and almost poor here. Just like if you have a thousand dollars here, that's just a months wages here, go to China or Mexico and your rich. The point is Man didn't invent these practices, it didn't start with Benny Hinn and Rod Parsely and Kenneth Copeland. It started with Jesus. He was a carpenter on earth but he created all this. We live on his creation. We don't have to be poor. The diciples were not poor. They had everything they needed and enough to give to someone else in need. That's what prosperity is all about, not about sitting pretty off lies, signs and wonders. Just being in abundance. It's working for me. My pastor just bought a house, not with the churches money but with a loan from a company. He preaches prosperity and faith and healing. There is no way he could by a house with money from the church because there are only 5 members as of right now and that's not nearly enough to say he would steal from. He was living in an apartment with his wife and 3 of her eight kids for almost eight years. He works a full time job driving the city bus. I work a full time job as a medical secretary. One of the other ministers is working a full time job and going to school and she has eight children with 5 at home. We are the only ones working. His pockets aren't fat but he is prospering. As we all are prospering. Something is happening for all of us. Not because we are just looking for a handout, but because we are faithful even though the church doesn't seem like it's going to fill up, we believe God's promises and his statutes. We keep them. If it wasn't for God's word and his acts in MY LIFE, I could not have stuck with him this long and still kept on strong. It's not because of TBN or the Churh Channel, or INSP. It's because of GOD. When I first got saved. I Couldn't even see these stations because I didn't have Cable, I didn't even know who these people were. So I could not build my belief on what they taught. You would benefit from believing God more and watching man and his faults less. I know this reads like anger but it's not, I'm writing this in love so you will understand my faith is not in Benny Hinn or Paul Crouch it's in God. |

4 | Divine Healing, True or False? | Matthew | EdB | 13712 | ||
Kimberly you missed my point. I said God will provide and that God does heal. What I really said was if these men could heal like they claim why aren’t they visiting the hospitals, or going the Aids clinics and healing them? Jesus did! If they can heal like they claim why don’t they do it out on the street as a sign to unbelievers? Instead they do it in the church qnd on TV and who sees Christians to whom it soon it becomes entertainment. I know I have seen it. I have seen the Christians rush to get the best seat so they can see the miracle. I have also seen these same Christians out in the parking lot rushing past everyone to be the first at the restaurant. I see real miracles every day where men and women preach Jesus Christ in the streets and without laying on of hands or standing in lines blind eyes are opened and lame walk. But you won’t see this on TV these people that are healed and made whole are poor, dirty and smelly, totally unwelcome in most churches. They can’t pay and none is asked yet God provides for these men and women to be able to preach everyday. But there is a difference these men and women go home at night to houses like you and I live in. Not a gated communities of palaces where your TV preachers live. I said the message these men are preaching is designed to have you and others support their ministry. If God always repaid back 100 percent then these guys shouldn't need your money they should be able to raise it on their own. Why do they have to bleed the Christians dry? I believe if you sow into God’s work, God is faithful and repays, He owes no man, however I think it may come as blessings or in ways you or I haven’t conceived of. But to say if you send 10 dollars to me God will pay you back 100 in false teaching at it’s worst. Yes I know of what I talk about in Haiti, I can assure you God blesses each and every Christian there in spectacular ways but the richest of them would trade place with you financially in a heart beat. I also know of what I talk about in some of these other countries. You couldn’t preach what these men preach without getting chased out of town. These people are living and dying for Christ and to tell them what these men teach in an insult to their suffering. Like Morgan61 said if what these guys preach works why don’t they send the 10 dollars to you? Again I beg you turn of the TV. Pray that God will open your eyes to His truth and sit down and read your Bible. Don’t read it as these guys have said it says but read it letting the Holy Spirit show you the truth. |

Ed, obviously you don't understand a hundredfold. A "fold" is 100 percent, thus a return on 10 that's 100 is tenfold, to be a hundredfold, it would be 1000. If we recieved that returned, we'd be giving all the time. :) I know I'd be rich by now! | ||||||
