1 | Is God's will prosperity/healing always? | Rom 8:28 | BradK | 68072 | ||
Dear Inmyheart, I feel compelled to respond to your post, out of love and not with any intended malice. Nonetheless, I must take strong exception. That "faith is a powerful force" is both non-biblical and unfounded. God can and does heal, but "Faith" is not a power! I'll grant that the passages cited in Mark 11:23 and Matt. 21:21 are difficult to interpret. I don't necessarily have the correct interpretation. However, I'll offer what I see based upon my understanding of faith. There is a possible prophetic parable being eluded to here according to "Hard Sayings of the Bible". I take it to be a rather plain statement: IF you had the faith of a mustard seed you could move mountains(paraphrased). As I have yet to see any mountains literally moved by anyone's "faith",I believe that to tell me how little my "faith" is in relation to its' ability to accomplish the miraculous. You see, "...GOD has alloted to each a measure of faith".(Rom.12:3) Faithfulness is a divine attribute ( 1 Thess. 5:24, 2 Tim.2:13). God is faithful. It's not about my faith so much as about my placing my trust(i.e. faith,belief) in what HE has already accomplished and provided. Faith must have an object. You state "Apparently, faith has an inseparable connection with the release of God's power. If you have faith, you will be able to release the power of God in your life and in the life of others." My response is: "Now to HIM who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us" (Eph. 3:20) I also do not see the terminology of "release healing,prosperity, and deliverance" as being scriptural! A doctrine of men maybe, but taught in the Word of God, no. Speaking the Truth In Love, BradK |

BradK God can and does heal, but "Faith" is not a power! "That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the Power of God." 1Cor.2:5 Have you experienced the blessings, miracles and the power of God? The post you responded to was a brief outline, to whom I was responding to, we would have to start a new thread to get the full impact of what was posted. Let me just say, I see it the same way you do! Meaning, how can this person believe that way. Brad, there is a point where we part on what we believe, doctrine vs. doctrine. We have two opposing views. So Praise God, be faithful and so will I, you teach there is no physical healing and I will. I'll be scriptural in my postings and you do like wise :) God bless. "For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love on another" 1John3:11 (KJV) Same meaning in the NASB |

Inmyheart: May I say with conviction that it warms my heart to read your pledge to be scriptural in your postings! That's the spirit and resolve I love to see on this forum. It isn't my ideas and opinions, or my thoughts and feelings that really amount to much of anything. It's God's word that counts. Oh, what a forum we would have, and what a blessing it could be to others, both believers and non-believers alike, if all users came to it in prayer and humble submission to the authority and mighty power of our holy and sovereign God and his inerrant word! God bless, and a very happy Thanksgiving wish to you and your loved ones. --Hank | ||||||
