Subject: Is sickness from satan? |
Bible Note: OK, trying again... I used to be really into the WoF message. I listened to Copeland since I was saved and went to Believer's Conventions, experienced miracles, was a partner, had his tapes, books, magazines, etc. Was listening to his cohorts as time went on too, I was really into it. I lived in divine health. If a symptom was coming on, I'd take authority over it in the Name of Jesus and be praising the Lord and was never sick more than a few hrs at the most. I was even looking to move to Ft. Wprth area so I could be a part of Copeland Ministries, I was that into it. Then NYEve '98 I broke my arm roller blading. A few weeks before I had a job out of town so I taped all my ministry shows and I actually had a VCR in my hospittal room. I was in there for 12 days and had 5 surgeries. Inbetween I was listening to Gloria's Healing School, Creflo, Joyce, it was wonderful! I kept the tape going all the time, saturated in the Word. I found out Copeland and Oral Roberts were going to be at Creflo's church and I was going! I KNEW I'd be healed there and saw myself giving testimony at my church talking about the Jesus Christ Insurance Agency-by His stripes we are healed!!! You don't have to be sick, Jesus heals today!!! I even wrote my letters of testimony before hand to all the big ministries, even Benny Hinn's, had them standing in agreement with me, I couldn't wait! But guess what-instead of getting healed, I ended up going to doc w/o even going home and having to have my arm restitched...I ended up have 7 more operations and lost the use of my right hand. So right after Creflo's church is when I started getting online. I found some forums and found exactly how bad people do actually hate Christians. I started taking stands for Jesus and Christianity and I'd quote Copeland a lot still, even tho I didn't get my healing as I knew I would. Then some of the Christians started telling me that Copeland had some wrong teaching. How was this possible? I'd heard him for 18 years, had practically everything he did, I didn't see where he had anything wrong. I used a partner letter at SS school for a testimony and later another lady gave me some material saying he was wrong. I started looking at links and sure enough, he was wrong, not everything he taught was wrong but he did have some wrong teachings. So I just quit listening to him and all his cohorts period. I used to be a piping designer and I'd take contracts across the country and make big bucks. While I was gone, my mother would raise my daughter. Now I'm a stay at home mom, collect disability, hang out online spreading the Word where I can and being a political activist for anti-Christian bigotry and other things that go against God's Word. I believe God uses things, even sickness and accidents to bring us closer to Him. He tests us. We can be bitter or we can keep praising Him. How people see us going thru a trial has a big effect on there lives too. Then God uses things that are bad to the good of those that love Him, as He did with me. So we may have all the faith we needs to get healed, sometimes God has other plans and they all are for His Glory whether we want to believe that or not. I know I'm perfectly happy where God has placed me and so big deal, I can't use my right hand, I'm not bitter and that makes many people see that God is in control regardless. |
