1 | How about Deut33:7? | 1 Pet 2:24 | gracefull | 82539 | ||
imf: As Ed said, there were many at the pool... and only one was healed, but I do not agree with his conclusion that the reason only one was healed was because it was not God's will to heal the others. But rather that man's lack of faith to receive healing because of his opposing belief that that it is not God's will to heal everyone. Though these scriptures do not specificaly state that unbelief was present, scripture does tell us that unbelief prevented Jesus from performing miracles, and no where in scripture does Jesus or the apostles teach that sickness and desease are God's will in some cases,and scripture does not record a single case where Jesus crefused to heal anyone who asked Him. Jesus acredits healing to faith..not faith in faith but faith that God is both willing AND able to heal them. Everyting we receive from God must come through this kind of faith...TRUE BELIEVING FROM THE HEART. If the belief of the hear is divided between 'yes it is God's will to heal' and 'but I do not believe it is His will to heal everyone' then we waver between the two and Satan the liar can create havoc in our minds with such lies as, 'you don't deserve healing'. Of course not! God does not heal us because of our own righteousness any more than He saves us because of our own righteousness! It is because of Jesus! "According to you faith be it unto you". "Do you believe that I am able to do this?" "I am willing". "Jesus could do no great works there, save healing a few sick folk, because of their unbelief." Jesus also reprimanded for lack of faith but not as one condemning, but rather as one saying 'here is where you are falling short...work on it!' "Faith 'comes' by hearing and hearing by the Word of God". Faith comes through hearing with the physical ears? Or is it rather by having our spiritual ears open and the Word entering our spirit? Faith is BELIEVING with the heart and when the faith of the heart mixes with God's Word...miracles happen! The new birth is a PERFECT example, as it is the first miracle in the believers life produced by Faith in God's Word concerning Jesus the Christ. Psalm 119:130 "The entrance of Thy word brings light". God bless |

2 | How about Deut33:7? | 1 Pet 2:24 | lmf | 82621 | ||
The people in Jesus' hometown didn't receive from Him because they didn't see who He truly was. Jesus said to Jairus Fear not believe only. When I read that passage I do with consideration for the fact that they did not have access to the written Word of God and the Christ like we do. They were waiting for the water to move and not looking for the one who could make them whole. |
