I voted no. And for those that are asking about healing, for a christian, death is the ultimate healing.

I would have to say no since I am still waiting on that Bentley Continental Flying Spur!!!!

Titus2woman on AFF
"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
Quote from Ethel Goss (widow of 1st UPC Gen Supt. Howard Goss) book "The Winds of God"
Why should one even waste their time (as well as God's), in asking Him for anything if such a request is not accompanied with the faith that it will be granted AND received?
As for me, before I ask God for something (anything), I must first insure that the thing which I am asking for is not simply something to satisfy a "lust" of some sort, and that it is also something which will serve to ultimately glorify Him as a consequence of having it granted.
Oh God! Grant to me a healthy body so I can enjoy a vacation or some other such anticipated activity? Nay! Instead, grant to me health that I might be able to continue to bring the good news of the saving grace of God to the lost among us! Can I, with reasonable expectation, be granted such a request? Of course! And I have!! Still do!
In my opinion, and from experience of many years of asking, I have become irrevocably persuaded of the merits of Jesus' words - "And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive." (Matthew 21:22) And His Word is truth!
