NASB | 2 Corinthians 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. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 Corinthians 12:9 but He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you [My lovingkindness and My mercy are more than enough--always available--regardless of the situation]; for [My] power is being perfected [and is completed and shows itself most effectively] in [your] weakness." Therefore, I will all the more gladly boast in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ [may completely enfold me and] may dwell in me. |
Bible Question: Is there anything in the bible that indictaes that when a person asks God for something, like healing, that there is as important a responsibility for that person to receive what hes ask for as for the answer? In other words, everywhere I read I believe I am reading that if I ask God for healing that He in facts answers. Is my ability to recieve that healing as vital to being healed? Can I maybe be asking for it and it is answered but I keep dropping the answer and therefore am not healed? I don't see anywhere in the word that anyone ever ask Jesus for healing and was refused. In Luke 11 the Lord even talks about asking and receiving. I believe completely that if I ask I will receive. Am I not recieving? Should I be praying differently? My children are very young. I want to live. I want to be healed. |
Bible Answer: Vesel, My heart and prayers go out to you and your family. God is a great healer of the soul and body. The passage that we rely on consistantly is James 5:13-16. Sometimes we need to get others involved in order to get a response from God. God instructions here is to call upon the elders of the church. These elders must be totally dedicated to God's will. May I ask which state that you live in hope that you may persue this in more detail. I hope to hear from you soon and may God bless you and your family. Lanny |
