Subject: Is God's will prosperity/healing always? |
Bible Note: Jesus did. Read Luke 4:14-21. The reference to which Jesus is referring is in Isaiah 61:1-2. Jesus stops reading half-way through the 2nd verse because it wasn't time for the other half yet. Also, we are saved by grace through faith (Ephesians 2:8). Romans 10:17 says that faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word. So when you hear the word of God pertaining to salvation preached it builds your faith to be saved. Likewise, when you hear the word of God concerning healing your faith for healing is built up. You've got to hear what God's word says on the matter, have faith or believe that He is willing and able to change your circumstances (be it for salvation or healing) and pray asking God for either your healing or to save your soul. To say that both must be instantaneous at the moment of beleif would say that the preacher gave a message embracing both spiritual and physical healing. And that the individual believed both truths at the same time. That's not uncommon. The problem is that most times the sermon is only on physical healing or only on spiritual healing and you're asking that we get (pardon the crudity of my expression) a strawberry-kiwi flavor out of just using strawberry juice or just using kiwi juice.
