1 | Is God's will prosperity/healing always? | Rom 8:28 | inmyheart | 68417 | ||
EdB, Thanks, and I mean this in a positive way, my understanding is mutual. God has and never will let me down. We serve the One True God, He has bought me with a price, His Son Jesus, my Savior, given me a purpose and a distiny. God rewards our faith by providing that which we believe Him for. So many times Jesus has made statements such as "according to thy faith be it unto thee" and "Thy faith has made thee whole." He has made answered prayer conditional upon faith (Mark 11:22-24; James 1:5-7; 5:14-16) and doing His works (John 14:12). God in His sovereignty has decided that He will only reward those who will believe Him. Anyone who does not believe makes God a liar and that person cannot expect to receive from God (1 John 5:10). The Bible is full of example of those who limit God from working in their lives due to unbelief (Num. 13-14; Matt. 13:58; 17:20; Heb. 3-4). It has nothing to do with God's sovereign will to bless or not bless. God, in His sovereignty, has decided to respond to FAITH and will do so because He is Holy. This does not make Him man's servant as the critics want to imply. He still requires our obedience (which is what faith is), our worship, and our reverence. Word-Faith, by no means, has delegated the Almighty One to the level of a servant. Instead, we have recognized Him as our Father with whom we obey. God bless |

2 | Is God obliged by the prayer of faith? | Rom 8:28 | John Reformed | 68422 | ||
What if our request is contrary to God's will for us? Dear inmyheart, I pray for many different things from God. I prayed earnestly for God to heal my dog. But he became so sick and miserable that I felt it was God's will for me to spare him further suffering, and so I had the vet put him down. Is it not best to seek God's will, rather than insisting that He must honor my prayers? The problem I have with "wof" doctrine is that it presents a formlaic kind of religion: If you do this plus that God will answer your prayer by granting to you that for which you have prayed. But what if you pray for something that God does not want you to have? John |

3 | Is God obliged by the prayer of faith? | Rom 8:28 | Mommapbs | 68431 | ||
Psalm 143:1 says, "Hear my prayer, O LORD, Give ear to my supplications! Answer me in Your faithfulness, in Your righteousness!" This is an interesting concept to consider: God answers our prayers because of HIS faithfulness and righteousness, not because of anything we have done to deserve an answer.
