Bible Question:
It's me again! :) I did think of Moses when I wondered about David 'changing' GOD's mind about the child. But with Moses, didn't he ask GOD to remember Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and the covenant he had with them? I now wonder if David had prayed as Moses and found a covenant promise to stand on, if the LORD would have repented. 'There are so many that we are lifting up before the Throne of Grace for physical healing, and the healing we ask for doesn't come' Right away, I ask, if 'the prayer of faith shall heal the sick', why didn't this prayer of faith(your statement above) heal the sick? When I ask this question, I am not questioning GOD's sovereignty. I am simply relying on the truth of his WORD because He said what ever He says, he'll do and whatever He purposes, He will bring to pass(Isaiah). I want to be a student of my Father's Word and for me that means asking questions when something I see does not line up with what the WORD says. So do you know of scriptures that may be a prerequisite to 'the prayer of faith shall heal the sick and the LORD shall raise him up'? Also, if I ask anything according to his will, he hears me and I know I have the petition I have asked (I John 5:14-15). So, I guess the first thing we need to know is if it is GOD's will for us to have physical healing. Would you agree with that? Again, thanks for listening and if I'm getting on your nerves :), I understand. I can be a pest sometimes! :) Oh and by the way, currently, I am not interceding for anyone for physical healing, but I do believe that it is His will for us to be healed physically in this life(not by death) as well as the next. And if what I believe is wrong, I need to have my mind renewed and that's what I'm after. I once heard someone say that those that disagree with you do you the most good. They force you to go to the WORD and you will either find error or confirmation in what you believe. Grace and Peace be multiplied to you. |
Bible Answer: Greetings again! As iron sharpens iron so does one (wo)man sharpen another! No you are not getting on my nerves, but I am a bit confused here! 1. Are you basing this statement "I do believe that it is His will for us to be healed physically in this life(not by death) as well as the next." on the verse you cite: 'the prayer of faith shall heal the sick and the LORD shall raise him up'? 2. Playing the adversarial role here . . . How can one assert that it is ALWAYS God's will to heal physically in this life ? There are lots of instances in Scripture where He does not. How can one presume to know the absolute will of God in every instance? 3. The Scripture you cite, "if I ask anything according to his will, he hears me and I know I have the petition I have asked" reminds me of "name it and claim it" theology. I have some difficulties with this! Keep me posted! In Jesus, Mommapbs |
