Blasphemy is the prosperity WOF movement that expects the Holy Spirit to do something fabulous at their whim! Scripture was presented. I dont take advice from the likes of you and your cronies that support false teaching and false teachers. There will be a special place in hell for those who have perverted Gods words!
Demonstrably, that is not what folks here are believing, PollyAnna. You're setting up a straw man to have something to tear down.
Folks here keep pointing to Christ and you keep pointing to heresy hunters.
Hmmmm . . .
Our family has seven children. One was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at age 7 (age 15 now and doing great) who has not been healed, yet our faith remains. Jesus told us that there would be trouble in this world, but that He would walk every step of the way with us.
He proved this once again to our family this past year as we've walked the path of metastatic brain and spine cancer with our 11 (now 12) year old son. God led us to have him treated at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, and it's been a long, hard road, but as promised, God has walked every step of the way with us and His Body has stepped up and supported us in many wonderful ways. Our son has received clear scans and we pray that his healing is complete and enduring. He'll go back to St. Jude's for repeat scans periodically, and we continue to choose to trust God through it all, no matter the outcome. God is good and God is faithful, no matter what.
The only guaranteed outcome is the Resurrection. Supernatural healing in this life does happen, but is not guaranteed. It is not for us to demand or claim. But we can and do ask!
We live in a fallen world and will be touched by it to varying degrees. God promises that He will never leave us or forsake us, no matter what. Our experience has been as touched on above. Others have received supernatural, dramatic healings. Either way God is good and God is faithful - even when He raises up the Body to love those well who are sick and dying but does not heal.
We will all die from something as the Lord tarries, yes? That is a reality that we all face. In the midst of it all, we choose to trust God. The notion that God puts illness or tragedy on folks to teach us or others lessons - NO. We are touched by this fallen world, yes, and God can take what the Enemy has intended for evil and bring good from it, but God does not PUT or CAUSE bad things to happen to anyone.
There is great value in walking through sickness and trials - light is shone in places where is wasn't before and we, as believers, are taught empathy and how to relate with people and minister to those going through similar circumstances that we could not have known had we not gone through trials ourselves.
We learn how to love others better, more practically, and more deeply when we've been through stuff ourselves, yes? And having gone through trials with Christ at our side, are able to minister His love and His Gospel more effectively to the Lost around us, yes?
Why?
Because the Gospel becomes to us to be about LIFE, and not SIN, as it is intended in the Scriptures. The Lost respond so much better to Love and Life than to Turn or Burn. It is the kindness of God that brings us to repentance, yes?
But enough with this heresy-hunting stuff - Just preach Jesus, the simple truths of the Gospel and contextual Scriptures and let the Holy Spirit sort it out. Press into Jesus and let Him produce the Fruit in you that He desires to produce - it will always build up and not tear down. There are times to sound alarms - I have a website that examines the Hebrew Roots Movement (and even reference Let Us Reason once or twice), but in the context of building believers up in who they are in Christ, not just for the sake of tearing down those I disagree with.
We must always act in a redemptive context - grace - the building up of our sisters and brothers in Christ, loving them well to spur them on to the good works (fruit) that God has prepared in advance for them to do!
