1 | If we ask for healing does God answer no | 1 Peter | mark d seyler | 146559 | ||
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 |

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 |
