In Relation To My Healing Post
 
Dear Reader,

In relation to a previous post, only four posters responded. In addition, on my Facebook page, only two responded and four liked the post. What is occurring with people these days?

I have a sincere question for every reader here. If you have a form of ailment, why haven't you been healed? Let us seriously discuss this topic.

Its obvious God does not want you sick, so why should you have to live with an ailment?

You see, you have had an ailment for a while; and doubt has engulfed the outer courts of your mind. Often times you pray for healing, but within your mind, hope has become scarce. Your prayer of healing has become a tradition rather than a petition.

I want to ask, you, the reader a question. The women with an issue of blood, and the man by the pool of Bethesda, and the blind man by the gate, etc., were those people of more value than you? If no, why haven’t you been healed? What is the differentiating factor between you and those healed in the bible?

Some of you may read and blow this posting off without self-analyzing and not even considering the message being relayed, and that is okay! It is your type mentality that sustains mediocre Christianity, and you really therefore pose no threat to the enemy’s kingdom. Have a good day!


Respectfully,
Jacob's Ladder

I do believe that timothy had 'frequent infirmities', for which a glass of wine was the answer (according to the apostle).

Paul also spoke of how some in the church were sick, and some had in fact DIED, and said it was because of their disobedience to the Word of God and the apostolically transmitted traditions and ordinances.

Not so much that the individuals who were sick were the disobedient ones, but perhaps that disobedience in the church created a lack of power for healing in the church?

I'm still reading the book of Job. His three friends thought his afflictions had been brought forth by sin and self-righteousness issues.

Just thought of bringing it out

Good point. Not to mention God said those guys were way off base and UNRIGHTEOUS in their judgements.

I do believe in healing as such, and maybe your right as the Church is those that gather together, not the structure..... so perhaps....


Sorry OP but I'm to ignorant in this area of healing to add anything useful here ;) Good write up though
