Subject: Is God's will prosperity/healing always? |
Bible Note: Hi Brad.. In addressing a question like this the first response to the question of God's will on a subject is go to the word on that subject. Motive or intent of the heart is very important in receiving any promise from God. Also our faith in His faithfulness to His promise is critical to receive, and our understanding of who we are in Jesus. The maturing process brings us more in line with God's will and His promises. John 4:48 You view this as Jesus doing signs and wonders to 'PROVE' himself. There are many scriptures that indicate Jesus did nothing to 'PROVE'. Notice in this text Jesus is asked to 'come down and lay his hands on the son'. The sign here is coming down, and Jesus did not go, but he did heal. Now look at the other scriptures where this is stated -signs and wonders or just seeks a sign- and you will find in each case Jesus refuses to give the sign.(here is no exception) To ask God for a sign is to tempt Him. Jesus healed because it is God's will and he healed out of compassion. Yes it is correct to study a subject from the entire Bible, but a good place to start is the new covenant, just as we usually direct a newborn believer to John to study the new birth. Healing and prosperity of any kind are not to prove God is God but simply from His grace provided through Jesus. Does that better explain my understanding? If my will and His will are the same He will do my will. His word is His will so if my will lines up with His word as revealed by His Spirit I am in His will and can ask what I will(because it is His will) and it shall be done for me of my Father. 1John 5:14 It is okey if you believe otherwise. Something else I believe is that the Holy Spirit is given to teach each of us as He wills and none of us will believe the same things. But I also believe ithis forum encourages various understandings. So we would have a much more growth oriented forum hear if snide or inflamatory remarks were excluded from the posts and respect could be shown for each other. In Jesus In Jesus |
