Subject: Divine Healing, True or False? |
Bible Note: I don't believe because of them, I believe God. The word says he will heal all of our diseases. This is a promise to the believer not the sinner. Since when is healing an entertainment. Instead of being skeptical about the man believe the power of God. My trust is not in what TBN can do, even though they have spread the Gospel of Jesus around the world, but what about what God's word says. We go on so much about who's trying to scam us and not enough about what GOD told us to do. Hospitals were made for the sick right? Jesus told us in Mark 16:17 to lay hands on the sick and they shall recover. Some people call this charasmatic, but Jesus did it. Aren't we supposed to Mark the Perfect Man. This is what we are all striving for. Have you ever been to Haiti? How do you know that after they recieved Jesus they didn't put these practices into action and become wealthy. We think being wealthy is a sin. He said the love of money is the root of all evil. By the way, television only shows one part of the people in these countries. Do you know how many rich countires are in Africa? Many of the people come to America to go to school and it just so happens that some of them come to a school I went to in TN. Some people end up teaching at the university. Then they leave because they are unhappy in our country. They are rich there and almost poor here. Just like if you have a thousand dollars here, that's just a months wages here, go to China or Mexico and your rich. The point is Man didn't invent these practices, it didn't start with Benny Hinn and Rod Parsely and Kenneth Copeland. It started with Jesus. He was a carpenter on earth but he created all this. We live on his creation. We don't have to be poor. The diciples were not poor. They had everything they needed and enough to give to someone else in need. That's what prosperity is all about, not about sitting pretty off lies, signs and wonders. Just being in abundance. It's working for me. My pastor just bought a house, not with the churches money but with a loan from a company. He preaches prosperity and faith and healing. There is no way he could by a house with money from the church because there are only 5 members as of right now and that's not nearly enough to say he would steal from. He was living in an apartment with his wife and 3 of her eight kids for almost eight years. He works a full time job driving the city bus. I work a full time job as a medical secretary. One of the other ministers is working a full time job and going to school and she has eight children with 5 at home. We are the only ones working. His pockets aren't fat but he is prospering. As we all are prospering. Something is happening for all of us. Not because we are just looking for a handout, but because we are faithful even though the church doesn't seem like it's going to fill up, we believe God's promises and his statutes. We keep them. If it wasn't for God's word and his acts in MY LIFE, I could not have stuck with him this long and still kept on strong. It's not because of TBN or the Churh Channel, or INSP. It's because of GOD. When I first got saved. I Couldn't even see these stations because I didn't have Cable, I didn't even know who these people were. So I could not build my belief on what they taught. You would benefit from believing God more and watching man and his faults less. I know this reads like anger but it's not, I'm writing this in love so you will understand my faith is not in Benny Hinn or Paul Crouch it's in God. |
