Bible Question: Will God answer prayers for a miracle healing for todays christians? Scriptural answers please |
Bible Answer: oneluke: Welcome to the Study Bible forum! I can say with the strongest authority yes! I have long thought miracle healing was not for today. However in June 2004, I had a large blood clot go from my right leg and brake up into a bunch of clots and go directly into both lungs. My primary Care Doctor and the head Radailogist with 32 years on the job, tole me and my wife there was nothing they could do. We were told to go home and put my affairs in order asap. I was told to not be left alone, and if I should have a clot move to my heart I would never make it, and this is what they exped to happen. My life was ending soon, and I was a dead man walking. I called my pastor and asked him to come to our home. As a pastor, I have anointed people with oil and prayed for them several times in my ministry. My wife and the pastor put the oil on my head, we prayed not to be healed, but that I would be in the center of the Lords will. James 5:13 to 16 is the Scripture I believe states it very clearly. The rest of the story is 39 days later the clots that filled both lungs were gone. I survived the clots, with no pain or bleeding, and everyone said they had never ever seen such a genuine "miracle" The head of the Xray department at the hospital gave us thye CAT Scans of when the clots were in my lungs and the one 30 days later and the reports. My wife and have presented this with christian frends and a group. Several Nurse's ahve seen the CAT Scans and have been amazed, and have never seen such a thing. I do not thing the healings on TV are genuine or even how God heals today. Mircales are unusual, and are able to be validated! I do not believe in demanding or bargining with God is possible. I do believe with all my heart that we need to prya all the time to be in the center of His will. Them we know with no doubts that we are where God wants us to be. No matter how God answers our prayer we are right in the will of God. I do believe it is right to ask if it is His will to heal or take a suffering person home. The clear point is our will must be His will. When thinking about this, it takes a lot of faith to trust that God knows what His will for us is. I hope this helps and is clear enough to understand. justme |
