1 | Knocked out by holy spirit | Matt 16:6 | PastorFloyd | 90481 | ||
I too believe the Holy Spirit is grieved by what His followers are doing to one another. God gave each of us a will and we can believe what we want to. I find it hard to imagine why anyone would want to be sick when God gave us provisions to be well. But, again, that is their right and I will not impose my beliefs on them if they do not want them. If they ask why I base my faith on being well I will tell them. It is their right to believe my obeservations, based on what the Bible teachs us, or not. By the same token it my right, to believe the whole Bible, not just the parts I want to take out. I believe this: "Don't knock what you haven't experienced yourself." Scripture says: "Ask and you shall receive." An ex-cop, turned minister, once told me this: He said" "if you hear a judge impose a sentence on a person and he uses the word WILL: Such as, you will serve 25 to life. That person, most likely will serve a few years and then has the opportunity to get out on parole. BUT if that same judge uses the words: You SHALL serve 25 years to life, then that person shall serve at least 25 years before coming up for parole. By the same token if God says we don't have to be sick or poor, then we have the chance, based upon our faith to be just the opposite. It is our will that He takes into consideration and I agree that and I believe the Holy Spirit is grieved by our actions and our words. Right now there is a controversary going on at this forum that being "slain in the spirit" is not scriptural. They are right, it is not. There is no reference point in God's Word to base it on, but that doesn't necessarily mean God can't do it. Again: If you haven't experienced it don't knock it. I find to my amazement that people would rather be sick and have crippling diseases, rather than to believe the Word of God. They want to save face once they make a statement and go on with what the enemy gives them. I shall pray for you my brother, that God shall continue to work through you to give sage advice. |

Pastor Floyd: If anyone were so naive and scripturally ignorant to believe that faith is a shield against physical sickness and financial poverty, he would be forced to conclude that everyone who is sick or poor is lacking in faith. This would include all the saints in the history of the world who were poor and all the saints who got sick and died. One would have to accept the ridiculous idea that every dead saint throughout history lost faith and therefore died. Sorry, but your argument not only finds no support in Scripture, it defies common horse sense. It's totally preposterous and not worth serious consideration. --Hank | ||||||

I'm not saying that all saints that got sick and died were not in faith. What I am saying is that we can be sick or we can be well. What gets me is that people are saying that Jesus took a beating and shed His Blood for nothing. He died on the cross for us and our salvation but He also shed His innocent blood for us and our healing. God knew this was going to happen but He made provision for sickness and infirmities by the shed blood of HIs Son Jesus. Now, if you or anyone else don't want to believe that you can be made well by that blood then that is your right. But if a new Christian comes on this forum and asks if itt is alright for us to be healed and someone says that went out with the death of the disciples then sir, that is wrong. I believe that Jesus shed His Blood for MY healing. You don't want it? Don't ask for it. God said, "Let us make man in our image." Do you see God in sickness? Do you see Him in a wheelchair? Do you see Him dying by inches with a debilitating disease? Read some of the writings of E.G. Lake; Smith Wigglesworth; Kenneth Hagin; Kenneth Copeland; Dr. Thomas E. Slayton and his wife Gail. If they could believe for healings then I can believe for healings. God said, He is no respector of persons. If they received it, if they lay hands on people and they get healed in the Name of Jesus, then I have that right and privilege also. If you don't want it, don't believe it. How many scripture verses do you need to make you believe that God wants us healed? Ten? Twenty? a hundred? Do a Bible search of the scriptures based on healings, I did. I found 22 pages of scriptures telling me that God wants me well and prosperous. I don't have to have a house fall on me to know that it is dangerous to be under one without a foundation. |

They are referring, I think, to 1 Pe 2:24, but I believe they may be taking it out of context, since the same passage refers to us having died to sins and living by righteousness. I think the healing mentioned here is referring to a "spiritual" healing. After all, the atonement makes us "whole", since now in God's eyes He sees only what Christ did for us on the cross, and not the awful ugliness of our sin. | ||||||
