141 | Is God's will prosperity/healing always? | Rom 8:28 | inmyheart | 68078 | ||
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 |

gracefull, For many years, a certain part of the Body of Christ has been taught that faith is a powerful force. Faith can heal sicknesses, receive answers to prayer, and work miracles. For example, one popular verse for teaching this aspect of faith is Mark 11:23: "Truly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is going to happen, it will be granted him." Also, in Matthew 21:21 we read, "And Jesus answered and said to them, "Truly I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' it will happen." Notice that you will be able to do this "if you have faith and do not doubt." 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. Bible teachings that focus on this aspect of faith show Christians how to release healing, prosperity, and deliverance into their lives. Consequently, the entire Body of Christ is strengthened and made more effective. |

gracefull. This verse is my stance; "That your faith should not stand in the wisdom, but in the POWER of God. 1Cor.2:5 (KJV) The first "whatsoever" God wants me to know in Phil. 4:8 is what is "true". And if I'm going to know what is "true" I need to find out for myself, because there has been some lies told, even in the church. Phil. 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things [are] honest, whatsoever things [are] just, whatsoever things [are] pure, whatsoever things [are] lovely, whatsoever things [are] of good report; if [there be] any virtue, and if [there be] any praise, think on these things.(KJV) Romans 12:2 says for me not to be conformed to this world: but for me to be tranfromed by the renewing of my mind. And the reason for me to do this is so that I may prove what is that good, and acceptabe, and perfect, "will of God". Yes, Jesus came to set us free, to know the truth! God bless |

Tremere, We serve an awesome God! He has blessed each one of us with talent. I don't know the purpose God has for your life, using the talent He's blessed you with, but one thing is sure, it's in writing. Maybe God wants you to author a book, only God and you Knows. However, it is rare to see on this forum for someone to post, let's say, over ten post at one time, but there is no where in the "terms of use" that say's someone is not permitted to do so. I can't speak for other forum members, my experience is "you can't please everyone". Be obediant to God through our Lord and Savior Jesus and enjoy what God has called you to do. God bless you! (Sister) |

149 | Is God's will prosperity/healing always? | Rom 8:28 | inmyheart | 67704 | ||
Hank-- That may very well be true what you stated, and both of the gentlemen that you speak of may have demonstrated in the past the knowledge and wisdom of God Word. However, when I read a statement like the one below, well it's not a true or correct statement. "Maybe Paul didn;t instruct him in the faith well enough (Philippians 2:25-27)." (from Joe) I gave my account as to why this person(Epaphroditus) suffered from his sickness with scripture. Thanks for your reply, I'm here to study, to receive and give. If I want to be attacked, well what can I say, it's only a post away. But be of good cheer, God loves us. God bless |

150 | Mercy can only go so far... right? | Eph 5:5 | inmyheart | 67703 | ||
malspa. May I suggest that you read and study the below scripture. Romans 12: 1. Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God--this is your spiritual[1] act of worship. 2. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will. I'll agree with you in prayer for tomorrow, but then again, why wait, receive the gift now :) God bless |

EdB, This is what I posted; Verse 30 says, "Because of the work of Christ he was nigh unto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me." Epaphroditus overworked! See those words "not regarding his life"? Epaphroditus made a choice to continue to work when he should have stopped. There were not many people helping Paul at this time so Epaphroditus pushed himself to "supply your lack of service" (or, "take up the slack," "make up the difference"). Epaphroditus pushed himself too far – that is all there is to it. This is what you posted; inmyheart That is WOF baloney!!!! They place the blame for a sickness on the person rather admitting what they teach is in error. Why do you put me in the WOF cart? And I'm not saying that is a bad cart to be in, but never did I mention "this is what the WOF believes and therefore this is the conclusion I support." Then you state; "As to what you believe, let me say I pray your eyes will be open, and I pray you were given things to think about." What do "you" want me to believe!!! You pray that my eyes will be open---to what you believe!!! As mentioned, I gave my conclusion and supported it with scripture. God bless |

EdB, Greetings, thanks for responding, but I'm not going to buy into your name calling. You have already stated how feel about the doctrine you believe in, so there is no value to continue. Instead of me rethinking what I've been taught, why don't you re-read the terms of use on this forum. God bless |

joe Your account of Epaphroditus was in err, therefore your assumption of his sickness was not accurate. You stated: "Epaphroditus recovered from his sickness which almost led to death. Did he not know to name it and claim it before it got that bad? Maybe Paul didn;t instruct him in the faith well enough (Philippians 2:25-27)." However, if you would have read Phil. 2:25-27 just a little further to verse 30, your conclusion would have been different. Please take into account the following; Sick nigh unto death. "For indeed he was sick nigh unto death. . ." (Philippians 2:27). Paul here refers to a Christian named Epaphroditus. Some "scholars" of the Bible read verses 25-27 and then teach "See, see! Paul left somebody sick. He failed to heal somebody." The implication is that it is not God's will to heal everyone, and therefore if you pray for healing, do not be too expectant since it may not be God's will to heal you. Just because someone was sick does not mean you have to be. Epaphroditus was not the "Word made flesh." If those "scholars" had read just a few verses down, they would have seen the reason for Epaphroditus' sickness: Verse 30 says, "Because of the work of Christ he was nigh unto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me." Epaphroditus overworked! See those words "not regarding his life"? Epaphroditus made a choice to continue to work when he should have stopped. There were not many people helping Paul at this time so Epaphroditus pushed himself to "supply your lack of service" (or, "take up the slack," "make up the difference"). Epaphroditus pushed himself too far – that is all there is to it. If he had rested and then got back to work, he would have stayed well. He did not even have to over work – he made that decision himself. |

Jesified, I was blessed by your post! God bless you as you proclaim His Living Word. 1 Corinthians 2 1 And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. 2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. 3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. 4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: 5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. Great post and great screen name. |

confusing, The Word of God says in 1 Corinthians 1:18; "For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God." (KJV) This tells me that no matter how or what I thought of God before I was saved, was of no value. Whether it was the Old Testament of Law or the New Testament of grace, God has spoken. That in itself is an astounding and humbling reality. God was not obligated to speak. He was not our debtor. Man surely did not deserve a word from heaven. After all, we were sinful, disobedient, and at enmity with God. The Old Testament, God speaks of "My people perish for lack of knowledge," you my friend need to know God, so you can understand the wisdom of God. Don't delay, it's up to you. Nothing more has to be said. God bless |

Pt. 2 (con't) God's Way of Saving Man from Suffering God loved man and still wanted to save man from suffering back to Himself. However, even He had to acknowledge the authority which had been set up. It would have been unrighteous for God to remove this deputy authority without the proper procedure. Also, without the preparation of a proper replacement, there would be a big chaos. With this in view, He took some definite steps to bring about the defeat of Satan and to bring in His own kingdom. First, He came to earth as a man named Jesus Christ 2000 years ago. He as a man set up a pattern for us, showing us how man may love one another and be righteous by God's life. Although He acknowledged the authority of Satan over the earth and was subject to his ruling outwardly, He did not succumb to Satan's temptations. He was the one-man kingdom of God. Satan had nothing in Him. Jesus did not have the satanic nature; therefore He was inwardly free from the tyranny of Satan. Yet He did not as a single man take back the earth. This job requires many of us to join Him. For this He died to pay a ransom for all mankind in order to redeem them from God's righteous judgment of sin and resurrected to be man's life. Now the way has been reopened for man to take God in as life and express and rule for God, to become just like Him and together to defeat His enemy and bring in His kingdom. All this happened 2000 years ago, yet most people have not heard about or received this good news. The world is still in chaos because so many are under Satan's deception and control to resist God and live by the sinful nature. The Way to Stop All Suffering If you want to get out of this chaos, and save the world from Satan's kingdom, you need to save yourself first by receiving God into you through calling on His name. Then He will start the process of salvation inside of you. At the same time, you need to spread the good news abroad to your acquaintances. When enough people on earth are filled up with the God of love and righteousness, the kingdom of God will be brought in. People will be living in peace, loving one another. There will be no more robbing nor senseless killing. All forms of evil will be removed from the earth. Would you like to see this in your lifetime? What should you do? You may turn from Satan's kingdom of darkness to God's kingdom of light, from Satan's authority of death to God's authority of life. Say to God, "Lord Jesus, come into me. Deliver me from Satan's kingdom into Your kingdom. Forgive me of all that I did under the tyranny of Satan. Save me now." You will become a part of what God is doing in man to end all the suffering in the world and to bring His kingdom to the earth. I pray this information has inspired you. God bless. |

Why Does God Let Innocent People Suffer? This is the most frequently asked question concerning God. If God is loving, why do evil people flourish and innocent people perish? Why does God not step in to help, deliver, and save? Millions of people died in World War II. Many innocent people are still dying all around the world today in war and in peace. Babies are born impaired. Children become crippled. Adults become paralyzed. Old people become invalids. There is senseless killing, lying, cheating, stealing, and robbing between and within nations and ethnic groups, in "bad neighborhoods" and "good neighborhoods," and in families. Who are the victims? Mostly the innocent - the children, the aged, and the nice people. Where is God? Is He not a loving God? Did He not create man? Why does He not help? Why does He let it happen? Isn't He in control? We need to go back to the beginning to see why things are the way they are and if there is a solution to this problem that all humanity faces. The Battle of Two Kingdoms The Bible tells us that before man was created, Lucifer, the archangel who was the ruler over the earth, had rebelled against God and become God's enemy, Satan. The earth had become the kingdom of Satan. Then there was a struggle between the two kingdoms - God's and Satan's. Man is to Express God and Rule for God Man was made by God in His image to express God and rule for God. To express God is to love as God loves, be righteous as God is righteous, and so on. God has many divine attributes, and man was created with the corresponding human virtues. Man is supposed to live a life that expresses God's divine attributes through his human virtues. To rule for God is to be God's deputy authority, king of the earth, to overthrow and replace Satan and to bring in God's kingdom of love and righteousness. Man was created perfectly. He would not get sick or die. God provided everything that man would need to live, to express God, and to rule for God. For man's physical existence, God gave man air, water, food, and sunshine. To make the environment pleasant for man, God made trees, flowers, and grass. To make the earth a lively place, God made the animals. For man to fulfill his function - expressing God and ruling for God - God made a spirit within man and set man before the tree of life. The tree of life signifies God becoming life to man. If man would take God into his spirit by eating the tree of life, man would have God as life and be able to express God and to rule for God. The Greatest Tragedy of the Universe Although God's intention would have been fulfilled if man ate from the tree of life, God still allowed man to choose between Him and Satan - signified by the tree of knowledge. Satan came in disguise, in trickery, and deceived man by making the tree of knowledge seem very pleasant. Man chose the tree of knowledge. Instead of God's life, man received the satanic life into himself, resulting in sin, evil, and death. The satanic life has been growing in man for the last six thousand years. Because man took in Satan's life, man is under the control of the satanic nature inwardly as well as the authority of Satan outwardly. The Bible calls Satan "the god of this age." Man is blinded by him. Man is lying in the hand of this evil one and is unconscious of what the evil one is doing to and in him. Satan's desire is to ruin and kill man. The real and living God created man, but the god of this age got into man. The universal tragedy is that the very man who was to be king living in God's kingdom has become a slave dying in Satan's kingdom. Satan is destroying the man God created, so that the condition today is not God's original intention. continued----------- |
