Subject: Is God's will prosperity/healing always? |
Bible Note: Graceful I don't know anyone that says God is making people sick or killing their babies. But the fact remains we live in a fallen world. This earth is not our home. We are foreigners, pilgrims, aliens here. We ought to long for a better place. In this fallen state there are going to be people getting sick and dying, and there are people that will never know wealth of money. To say otherwise is simply untrue. Jesus brought us life (eternal) yet baring the rapture we all are going to die. No one dies from nothing. Whatever kills us is a sickness, so in truth each of us will die from a disease. Yes some might be better way to die but to say a Christian never has to endure the consequences of this fallen world is simply not true. Can we be healed of sickness and disease? Yes but sickness and disease will eventually kill us. Can we become rich yes it does happen but usually it is through someone’s hard work and effort alone with God’s blessings. There are a few preachers that have gotten rich preaching give to me and you will get rich. Of course if this were done in any other venue it would be called a scam and the police would soon visit them. Love God because He is God and not because of what He might do for you, this should be our focus. Blessing to you!!! EdB |
