1 | If we ask for healing does God answer no | 1 Peter | mitchbornagain | 146554 | ||
Well Doc, I understand its hard for you to see the truth which God has revealed to the world since the foundation. However I gave you scripture's which prove its God's will to heal. Will you please post me some where its written that God said no to a persons healing. Show me someone who went to Christ and was denied, or someone who was denied healing by the early Church in the book of acts. I have said nothing not out of love, I'm sorry you seem to think otherwise. I'm not sure what you are trying to say is false, other than the fact you disagree with the Scriptures which show God to be merciful, and love. Lets for instance take one of the scripture's you object to, you said the promise was for the children of Israel, whom do you consider a child of Israel, because I can tell you the moment I was born again I became a Jew, have you read where Paul wrote, And if you be Christ's, then are you Abraham's seed, and an heir according to the promise? I have many around me, and in my family even, who believe its not God's will to heal everyone, and its not God's will to prosper everyone, so let me just ask you this same question : If its not God's will to heal everyone, why do you think James wrote for us to pray for the sick that they be healed, would God's word be commainding us to pray for something outside his will? Also, if there are some people in this life whom should be beated down and destroyed by sicknes and disease, how many believers do you know who have gotten before the Lord in prayer and something to the effect of ' Lord, let me be the one who recives cancer this very day, let me be the one who has no good health at all in this life. ' Also, if you belive its not God's will to heal everyone, I would assume you don't keep any medicines in your house, because remember, keven if you have a headache, to take an asprin with your theory, coudl be going against the will of the Almighty, since its possible, he wants you sick, and not healed. Again, I am not walking outside of love when I say these things, I am standing firm on the Word, give me some scriptures which show we should not pray for the sick, where Jesus said we can't be healed, where God has ever said he is no longer known by him own name Jehova-Rapha (spelling?) And if he is no longer to be known by his redemptive name which means he is the Lord who healeth thee, then why is it we can even say he is still known by his redemptive name which means we are forgiven and thus, can enter heaven when we leave this earth? Thanks for your response, again I apologize if my wording before made it seem as though I had no love for anyone here. Its my intention to only declare what God has said, though if it offends you, I am sorry, take it up with the Father, its his words, and his will, not mine. Mitch |

Mitch, to interject for a moment: Php 2:26 For he longed after you all, and was full of heaviness, because that ye had heard that he had been sick. 27 For indeed he was sick nigh unto death: but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow. Just by the sound of Paul's words, he saw the healing of his fellow as a sovereign work of God - he did not, for instance, say "he was sick, so we claimed his healing and he was well". Jesus allowed Lazarus to die, not healing him, so that He could perform the greater miracle. Paul speaks in Galations of the infirmity of his flesh beings a testing. And the man healed by Peter at the Beautiful gate at the temple had been lame from birth, laid there daily to beg. How many times did Jesus walk right by him? Dozens? Hundreds? "Well, he didn't ASK for healing!" But he didn't ask Peter either. When it was God's time - His time - He healed him. Not according to my time, or my method, but He is sovereign, and I am subservient. And all things, all sickness, all injury, all things work for the good to us who love Him. Love in Christ, Mark |

Hello Mark, Very well said! I'm not commending you just because I agree with you, but rather because of the truth and wisdom conveyed in your remarks. You hit the nail on the head:-) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hi Brad, You know, for all the scriptures we could look at, for all the logic we could share, I always come back to Jesus in the garden pleading with His Father. Name it and claim it just doesn't work for me. Jesus only had to but die, and He would have purchased us for Himself. But His Father decreed for Jesus additional suffering (ref Heb. 5:7) for a purpose - to in some way make Him complete - perhaps to prove His obedience in the face of such horrific suffering. How can I say God will never want me to suffer, when so much is said of Jesus? Properity doctrine? That just doesn't seem like a life following Jesus! May we both stand, no matter what the test! God bless! Love in Christ, Mark |
