Why did Sis Urshan die? She probably had a million or more people praying for her. Re

According to my KJV, Moses the man of God prayed inpart this prayer.

Moses represents the law. The old covenant. The natural. The natural

is first, then the spiritual. The new Covenant was supposed to bring in

better things, better promises. Are we limited in our faith by what was

spoken by a chosen man of God under the law! We read in the OT the

verses above, so we expect 70 yrs. or 80, etc.? I have heard people say

they won't be here long because I am already -- years old.

When a child is conceived and grows to a time when it is delivered, it

passes from one small chamber unto a much larger chamber, this world!

When it comes out of the "sac" or "skin" it is in, does that mean it dies.

Why when we come out of this "skin" we are contained in, until the time

of "delivery" do we many times lose hope. Have we not passed from death

unto life! We are dying in this world but will live eternally in the world to

come, whereever that happens to be.

Just some thoughts!

Incidentally, Ps.103 not only speaks of the benefits of forgiveness

and healing, but in verse 5 speaks the mouth being satisfied with

good things; so that thy YOUTH is RENEWED like the eagle's.

There are wonderful promises in the Word of God. Faith comes by

hearing the Word of God. If we don't EAT (consume) His Word, it

cannot benefit us. As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.

We are told to be RENEWED in the spirit of our minds! If we do our

part, God will do HIS!!!!

Just some thoughts from a senior sister who never felt better in

her life, and feeling better all the time. One of these days the

inner man/woman inside will slip out of this fleshly "skin" I have

been living in, and as the old song goes:

Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer,
May I thy consolation share,
Till, from Mount Pisgah's lofty height,
I view my home, and take my flight:

This robe of flesh I'll drop and rise
To seize the everlasting prize;
And shout, while passing thru the air,
Farewell, farewell, sweet hour of prayer.

Blessings,

There is a dear man who operates in the gifts of the spirit, healings, and I have seen him read mail on people that just simply blew my mind.

He has diabetes and lost a few toes. A good friend of mine another minister asked him why God didn't heal him, and his reply was...

"...I believe God hasn't healed me to let me know that it is HIM doing the work through an imperfect vessel."

Coonskinner and I have had some pretty deep discussions on the effectiveness and the reason for prayer.

I still don't have it figured out.

I remember some of those discussions. very good stuff.

I think, for some things, there just is no figuring it all out.
