God does not respond to any reminders of anything we have done or not done in order to heal someone. Healing comes solely because of one reason, and one reason alone. The work of Christ in shedding His blood for our healing!
I am amazed at how standards replace love for each other as showing we are His. Standards replace the walk after the Spirit to cease fulfilling lusts of the flesh. And now standards are replacing the healing virtue of the work of the cross through Christ's shed blood. SOMEONE IS GOING CULTIC!
BY HIS STRIPES WE ARE HEALED.... NOT BY OUR OBEDIENCE IN MANAGING HAIR!!!!!! And that means healing is aside from anything to do with our goodness or not. God has healed sinners as proof. Jesus healed AND THEN SAID, "Go and sin no more."
Since gifts of healing is one of the gifts of the Spirit, this also is shown to indicate that people who are USED IN HEALING OTHERS are not necessarily holy people, because the Corinthians came behind in no gift (1 Cor 1:7), and yet were carnal and envious and divisive. (I have seen uncut hair on some carnal believers, though! LOL. And on some very godly women, too.).
I'm afraid for many when I hear these stories of healing being attributed to our works.
All these stories and beliefs are attempts at pushing people to do and keep these standards. You see, if people are made to think healing is held back due to cut hair, or uncut hair causes people to know we are His, or uncut hair keeps us saved, then people will rush to obey these things. But they are robbing Christ, the work of the cross and the Spirit's empowerment of all their cause for these things.
Never rob Christ of glory and power simply to make women stop cutting their hair.
Is there another reason you won't admit to laying your hair on a loved one for healing? Come on, brother.....you know you want to share that testimony!
