1 | Why seek healing for this flesh? | James 5:14 | Cyclist | 75307 | ||
Dear Forum Family, Blessed be the name of the Lord our God and His Son Jesus Christ forever more! Praise the Lord for His love and mercy and grace! Praise the Lord for He is good to His children! Praise the Lord for His patience with His children! Let everything that has breath praise the name of the Lord! Praise Him from the mountain tops! Praise Him from the valleys! praise Him! It's been quite a while since I've visited. Without going into any long details, I have been very busy! I have a question for those of you who are my elders and my brothers and my sisters on this forum (I pray that those of you whom I consider my elders or Brothers or Sisters know who you are.) Here it is. Even though this body I have been given is in great shape (I spend at least ten hours per week excercising it and the doctor tells me "I wish all of my patients were in as good of shape as your are, except for....."), there exists a cuouple of malfunctions. Sparing you all of the details, I was taken from my office to the emergency room on Wednesday morning. Woops! Got so caught up in all of that, I almost almost strayed away from posting my question! WHY SEEK HEALING FOR THIS BODY? Please, please don't get me wrong. I get annual physicals and that on my own, it is not required for my permenant illnesses. And, I do always go to my physician when having problems. When I read the holy word of the Lord my God I so desire to be with Him in His kingdom! Again, don't misunderstand me please, I haven't gone off my rocker, not yet anyway. Why seek healing for this flesh that will not inherit the kingdom of God? I know that the Lord our God has blessed us with some very good doctors, but, I'm having difficulty understanding the purpose. Honestly, it seems sometimes that the closer I am to death, the happier I am because I will be with the Lord forever. Again, I'm NOT CRAZY! Never the less, If here (on earth) is where His desire is for me, then here I am happy to be. Blessed be the Lord forever! I posted a couple of scriptures below. Please I pray you my friends, help me understand through the word of the Lord our God. I am thankful for each one of you! Bless you as you prayerfully consider your answer(s) to me. Your input is very important to me on this issue. Col 3:1 Therefore if you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Phil 1:23 But I am hard-pressed from both directions, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, for that is very much better; I always pray for you my friends. Always your brother in Christ Jesus our Lord, David (Cyclist) I will bless the Lord at all times! His praise shall continually be in my mouth! |

David, I think that some are not content with what God dealt them. While my leg is healing, I could go to a "healer" ... I have the faith to be healed, so if they cannot heal me, they are a FAKE. We should ask for prayer, even for a visit ... and follow the doctor's orders. Searcher |

Searcher, I find your answer interesting. Please explain it scripturally. "I have faith to be healed so if they cannot heal me, they are fake". God heals not man. So if God does not heal you, the teacher is fake? If someone teaches the Word of God and the Word of God does not produce the promise in your life, the teacher is fake? If someone preaches the new birth and someone does not receive, was the word untrue? Was the teacher 'fake'? My dear one, God heals through Faith in His Word, faith in His covenant, faith in Jesus Christ's redemptive work. NO MAN on earth can heal and if we go to them expecting THEM to heal we most assuredly will come away empty. God bless |

There are those who claim to be healers ... have the gift of healing. But, some have been proven to be fakes, because they were not able to heal or their system (using audio, e.g.) was exposed. Yes, God heals ... He does use people, who have the gift, as well as medical meas. |

There are a few who havebeen exposed for lying and deception, however, my point was that just because one does not receive healing when hands are laid upon them does not mean the one praying is fake. It was the blanket statement that caused me to pause. Remember Mark 6:6. Continue in the word and believe it despite anyting you see or hear! And be very cautious to criticize others. Let God do the correction, He is very good at it. God bless you! |
