1 | Is God's will prosperity/healing always? | Rom 8:28 | Jesified | 67596 | ||
Steve, Believers might be healed of all ailments when they are saved, I'd love to see that. However, that's not exactly what I'd all the "proper application." Just as you would have to appropriate your salvation made available through the blood of Jesus, you must also appropriate you healing. We are saved because we believe that Jesus' blood has the power to atone for our sins. Likewise, we are healed because we believe that Christ bore our infirmities and in His blood is the power to heal us. Jesified |

Hello Jesified In order to be consistent in your hermeneutic, you must say that there is instantaneous healing of all spiritual and physical infirmities at the moment of belief. You can't just take half of a verse now and add half of a verse later. Steve |

3 | Is God's will prosperity/healing always? | Rom 8:28 | Jesified | 67648 | ||
Jesus did. Read Luke 4:14-21. The reference to which Jesus is referring is in Isaiah 61:1-2. Jesus stops reading half-way through the 2nd verse because it wasn't time for the other half yet. Also, we are saved by grace through faith (Ephesians 2:8). Romans 10:17 says that faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word. So when you hear the word of God pertaining to salvation preached it builds your faith to be saved. Likewise, when you hear the word of God concerning healing your faith for healing is built up. You've got to hear what God's word says on the matter, have faith or believe that He is willing and able to change your circumstances (be it for salvation or healing) and pray asking God for either your healing or to save your soul. To say that both must be instantaneous at the moment of beleif would say that the preacher gave a message embracing both spiritual and physical healing. And that the individual believed both truths at the same time. That's not uncommon. The problem is that most times the sermon is only on physical healing or only on spiritual healing and you're asking that we get (pardon the crudity of my expression) a strawberry-kiwi flavor out of just using strawberry juice or just using kiwi juice.

Hello Jesified I won't pretend that Jesus didn't do as you stated nor that I can do the same without error. With the cut-and-paste method I can use the old joke (verses taken from ESV): Matthew 27:5 He went and hanged himself. Luke 10:37 You go, and do likewise. John 13:27 What you are going to do, do quickly. Whether application was attempted toward you or me, it would be ridiculous. If the Scriptures say all these things were accomplished the way you state (that both spiritual and physical healing is guaranteed), it must be consistently drawn from and applied from Scripture. You have not done so. As to your 2nd paragraph on building up faith: Faith is NOT built up by hearing the Word. It is built up by obedience to the Word. When the disciples requested increased faith, the Lord Jesus told them: Luke 17:7-10 (ESV) "Will any one of you who has a servant plowing or keeping sheep say to him when he has come in from the field, 'Come at once and sit down at table'? [8] Will he not rather say to him, 'Prepare supper for me, and dress properly, and serve me while I eat and drink, and afterward you will eat and drink'? [9] Does he thank the servant because he did what was commanded? [10] So you also, when you have done all that you were commanded, say, 'We are unworthy servants; we have only done what was our duty.' " The building is in the doing, not the hearing. Steve |
