Bible Note: Dear Roy, I understand and I appreciate your staunch defense of Pentacostal doctrine. For over a decade I held to the same teaching that you are espousing. It takes a great deal of faith to see many of the same people respond to the call to come forward for healing...to see them limping down the aisle, time and time again, and to watch them limp back to their seats. One young lady (whom I will never forget) had a severe problem with her legs, nevertheless, despite her faith, and the faith of those who prayed and laid hands on her, her healing never happened, in that she struggled back to her seat with no visable improvement. The last time I saw her, she was limping back from the altar when she fell and struck her head on the rail of a wooden pew. It broke my heart. Dear friend, tell me...how often have you witnessed healing services where all who went forward were miraculously healed? 2 Cor 12:8 Concerning this I implored the Lord three times that it might leave me. 2 Cor 12:9 And He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness." Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. 2 Cor 12:10 Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Christ's sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong.
