Subject: WHERE IS YOUR COMPASSION? |
Bible Note: A few years ago I was in a fix almost like that man in the wheelchair. A man told me I did not have enough faith to be healed and I would not get healed the way I was going. FACT 1. THAT changed my way of thinking. I built up my healing faith FACT 2. I received from God what He wanted me to have. FACT 3. I am not now nor have I been in that condition since. FACT 4. I did not ridicule a man in a wheelchair. I tried to get him to think in a different way. Not to my way of thinking but that God may have said the thing that I have been trying to get across. I am not elequent like some people. I am not a scholar or a theologian. I am a man that likes to talk about the good things that God has for us. I believe that God wants me to live a good abundant life and I like to share those things that He has given me with others. I have been healed of a debilitating disease, so I know where the man is coming from. I have seen my wife healed from a crippling disease and I have seen others delivered from debilitating diseases and infirmities. Being in a wheel chair, even if he is preaching the Word of God, is not glorifying to God and no matter how you slice it, or honey-coat it, can there be any glory in being in a wheelchair. What does glorify God is getting out of that wheelchair and if he gets mad at what I or you say and that starts him to thinking in a new way then maybe, just maybe, he will rise out of that wheelchair and give God the glory He so richly deserves. FACT: He does not have enough faith to get out of that wheelchair. FACT: When he builds himself up in his faith, HE WILL rise out of that wheelchair and give God the glory for doing so. Again, I do not ridicule any man and God knows that I did not ridicule the man. |
