Subject: Elders anointing sick with oil. |
Bible Note: Pastor Glenn: Having been a pastor and anointing the sick with oil, I know the fears one can feel. I never felt it was to heal the person. The purpose is bring others attention to the need of the ill person and to help in the person to confess sin. However, inspite of all this I have seen very sick peoples lives extended for a much longer period of time to restore family issues. I have seen prostrate cancer change and the cancer groth slow to the doctors amazement. This is an act of obedience. Even if the person is totally healed, it is only bor a brief time. We all will die it is just a matter of time. My question to you is have you ever anointed any one? If not, then why not? If you have tellme about it, please. God bless. justme |
