Bible Note: Welcome runtherace, cool name! If you re-read my post and understand what I was saying, you will discover that I do indeed believe, as you, that Isa 53:4-5 refers to our physical healing. I gave Mat 8:16-17 as a reference to back up that interpretation. I also believe, and have already said, that Isaiah 53:4-5 is speaking of our spiritual healing as well. Please reconsider the statement you made of that not being so in light and context of 1Pe 2:24. Please do not think I doubt the power of prayer, faith, and God’s ability, power, and will to heal. I know by the WORD and experience that faith is a necessary ingredient for healing to take place. However, we must never lose sight of the fact that we are not healed by faith, but by God. We are healed THRU faith but it is always BY God’s grace. I believe Jam 5:14 should be heeded and observed in every congregation. If someone tells me they are sick and ask me to pray for them, I lay hands on them and pray for them then and there. As a matter of fact I prayed for a lady at work just today in just such a way and situation. I told her to believe, by faith, for healing and the Holy Spirit let me pray a prayer of faith and power. She was touched by His presence and power (not mine) and had tears of rejoicing and thanksgiving afterward. I know God heard our prayer and I believe, by faith and the WORD, that she is healed. The lady knows God heard our prayer and she believes, by faith and the WORD, that she is healed. I also know that her healing is because of God’s grace and that her faith was just a means of her obtaining that grace. I am going to continue to pray for her and am anxiously awaiting the results from the test of her doctor’s visit this afternoon. But when she receives the results back, I am not going to us them as God’s report card, her faith gauge, or my anointing meter. Jesus is our Healer! retxar |
