Physical healing debaters There is one thing to remember a physical healing while wonderful only lasts as long as the person healed lives. However spiritual healing lasts for eternity. Why so much debate over something temporal when we should be focused on things eternal? In truth I never really understood the great desire for healing in Christians, if you really believe when you died you go to be with the Lord what is the problem? Scripture assures us we will not die until God is finished with us and that all things work to the good of those that love the Lord and are called to His purpose. If we put our trust in God we should find peace in whatever state we find ourselves. We are inconvenienced by sickness therefore all sickness is bad, yet if all things work to our good is it possible some sickness is good as it is giving glory to God? Before you answer remember the story of the blind man and the disciples asking Jesus who sinned. His answer was this man was born blind to bring glory to God. 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 His WILL, will be done. We are called to praise and worship Him both in sickness and in health. Trusting that whatever state we find ourselves it is exactly what God desires for us. Remember one last point everyone dies of something. EdB |

Greetings in Jesus EdB. I'd like to affirm what you have written as I'm in the mix on this thread too. When I learned this important truth, our son was about 14 years old ('95). He was about halfway through a two year chemotherapy treatment for Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Our bed time custom was to read a portion of God's Word and then I would ask him to tell me what God was saying to him from it. One night we were reading in Ephesians 2. Since he had grown up in an evangelical environment I assumed that he would highlight verses 8 and 9. To my surprise he said, "That workmanship verse." "For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus, unto good works which God had prepared in advance for us to do." (Ephesians 2:10) So I asked him, "What is God saying to you in this verse?" Without hesitation he replied, "It tells me that God has a plan for my life." I stared at him incredulously and queried, "HOW do you see that in THIS verse?" And looking at me as if I had two heads he said,"Because I'm still here. If your work for God is done, you should be happy to go home to Heaven!" From the mouths of babes . . . May God bless you through these thoughts today! Mommapbs |
