EdB I disagree, we should pray the solution rather than the problem. What I mean by that is we know that God's Word is His will. So if we pray the Word that is the solution we are praying God's will in our situation. In other words if we are ill we should be praying 1 Peter 2:24 for example. If we are in a financial pickle we should be praying Phil. 4:19 etc. It is good to spend time with the the Lord telling him what is bothering you, praising Him and just in general having a conversation or fellowship with Him etc. that builds your relationship with the Lord and that is when He speaks to us. Remember without faith we cannot please God, so we need to apply the Word to every situation in our lives and stand steadfast on that Word/Scripture. However, there is also the prayer of consecration where we have to ask that His will be done in a situation, i.e. application for a job, moving to another town/city etc. where we are dependent on God opening doors. I believe (my opinion) that prayer does do something as far as getting a love one saved is concerned, however, I believe our behaviour and the fruits that we bear plays a very large part in this. People must desire what we have. The word says that wives lead their husbands by their behaviour and their conversation. I cannot believe that that only applies to husbands but applies to all. So basically I don't believe that prayer on its own will do it, but the way we conduct ourselves also play a very large part. |

IN the case of salvation your right the solution is obvious however I once knew a man that was without a car. He was always praying for a car, he neede to go to work. In the process a co worker started picking him. They rode to together of the course of 6 months. The co worker was unsaved and man without a car was able to witness to him 30 minutes each day going to work and 30 minutes each day coming home. The co worker got saved, the man was able to solve his financial problems, and was given a car. Had God ansered his prayer for a car from the start none of this would have happened this way. Had he prayed the real problem, He needed a way to work, he would have seen God moving in his life instead of being so miserable for 6 months. Pray as you will. Personally I pray the problem and wait upon God to resolve it. I'm always amazed and usually excited when I see God's solution. EdB |

Hi EdB I agree that that guy was able to be a blessing in the situation, Praise God, however, it was not God's best for him to be without a car. I mean then one can say that God allowed someone to be sick so that they could go into hospital so that they could minister to the person in the bed next to them. How much more of a testimony would one be if they were walking according to 1 Peter 2:24 and going to the hospital walking in divine health and taking the gospel to those who are sick and telling them that they don't have to be sick because Jesus died for our sicknesses. How much more of a testimony would you be to others if you could tell them about your blessings and they can see the abundance in your life and see that you are favoured by God? I mean some people could say "well if that is the lack that God keeps them in I certainly don't want it thank you very much." Our God is the GREAT I AM, and He is the God who is MORE than enough, He is the God who supplies ALL our needs according to His riches in glory, He is the God that loves us so much that He sent His only begotten Son to die for us. He has made provision for us in every area of our lives, we just need to accept it and take it and then go forward and be a great testimony and the greatest witness that we can possibly be as that was the great commandment - to bring to lost into the Kingdom of God. We need to be living the way Adam was before he sinned, and Adam lacked for nothing at that stage. So I continually pray the solution and thank God for the provisions that He has made for us in His Word!! Have a great day! Brenda |

Brenda If Jesus died for our sickness why do Christians still get sick? Why do Christians die from some disease? Oh it might be a quiet death in ones sleep but is still death from sickness. In countries where doctors and hospitals don't exist why is the death rate still very high among the Christians? Jesus died for you healing but it was spiritual healing with a physical healing that comes when we trade our corruptible for incorruptible. Why is the passage in Revelation 21:4 so exciting? Why did many decidedly Christian disciples get sick? Where does it say in the Bible that Christians don't get sick and die? Brenda you have fallen for the biggest golly gee promise an evangelist ever used to get more people to listen to him. It is called Word of Faith Hokey Pokey. Or the health wealth and prosperity gospel. Ask yourself one question why don’t these men that can manifest all this healing go into the hospitals and clinics and heal. Jesus when he was on earth went to the sick, the afflicted, the sinner. He didn’t stay in the church taking offerings. EdB |
