Are you so correct in your thoughts and perspective that you maintain there is no way you could have been offkey with what you thought was exerting faith? Again, I had nothing happen to me like you did. Just the opposite. Seriously. But I am not here to convince you of anything. Just telling my side of the story like you are. Believe I am giving a true report or not. Doesn't change anything.

Mike, I have made a bold accusation against you. Would you like me to apologize? Tell you what. Give me your church's address and I will visit, with someone who could really use a healing. I'll at least bring video cameras, but I'll also invite the local media. They might be interested. If your prayer of faith is effectual (i.e., if the healing actually happens, and isn't answered with that famous "No"), I will rescind my accusation (even though one healing doesn't prove that
none of your previous claims were bogus -- I'll be generous) and apologize, on video then and there, and here on AFF. (If I haven't been banned.

)
And I will post the video here.
Or, of course, you could decline this little challenge (which really shouldn't pose any difficulty for you at all), and we can all judge for ourselves why you would do that. You could explain why, of course. That should be interesting.
So, what do you say? Sound like fun? Sure it does!
Now, of course, if the person who wants a healing isn't actually healed, it could be devastating. But I'll find a volunteer (at least try) who I'll brief on the situation. I'll be open and honest about it. I'll say there is someone who claims many miraculous healings, and that I don't believe him, but maybe he's right and maybe you will be healed. If you are not, please don't let it bother you too much. You must know there are many hucksters out there, some on TV, many more
not on TV, and you can feel good that you have helped expose one of them. Maybe this huckster (if that's what you are, Mike, just saying) will change his ways.
Oh, and don't worry: the volunteer will be visibly afflicted with something, so a healing will be obvious and, as a bonus for the video, very dramatic. I bet you can hardly wait!
Have you (or has
God, through your effectual fervent prayer) ever healed, say, an amputee?
Is anything too hard for God?
