Bible Question: I have a friend whose parents are very ill? He wants to know how there can be a God that would allow them to go through so much pain and sorrow? How do I answer this question? |
Bible Answer: Philipians 3 verse 10 states: That I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of his sufferings being conformed to his death (NASB). I wished we lived in a world where there was no sickness, diseases or pain. But once Adam sin, then sin, suffering, pain happens to us all. tragedy doen't have a common place. It happens to everyone and any given time. As a matter of Fact. In John the 14th chapter (NASB) the Lord Jesus promised us tribulations. He said in me (Him) you shall have tribulation but be of good cheer He has overcome the world. Meaning every sickness is not unto death. In Matthew 17 verse 21 it says. But this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting (NASB). Then Isaiah 53 states that by the Lord Jesus stripe (sufferings) we are healed. Tell him to consecrate himself, wash his face and go on a fast. Deny himself certain food, maybe even television programs. Put his parents name in certain certains prayer list where some Christians can prayr for them on a consistant basis. The word says that the Effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much James (NASB)...Take the matter into his hands..Tell his parents to start confessing the word that says that they shall not die but live and declare the works of the Lord Psalm 118 (NASB. One man's sin cause sickness, diseases (Adam)..But Glory to God One man's death and resurrection can lead to good health (Jesus). Stop pouting and let's get busy.....First ask the Lord to heal his parents. Then start thanking the Lord for their healing..If you have faith as the size of a grain of mustard seed you can say unto this mountain be thou remove and be cast into the sea and it will obey you. Last but not least the word says that when you pray believe that you have whatever you ask for and you shall have it MARK 11 (NASB). I hoped I helped...Let's get busy.... |
