please don't. please don't do that. those beginning lines are a summary of the rest of what you wrote.
please, sir, don't attempt to stand in the place of God and decide why people suffer.
"Who sinned? This man or his parents?"
the disciples of Christ weren't right about their assumptions, and i beg you not to make your own.
If you would note ma'am, I said "In
most cases..."
The reason why the disciples asked if it was either the man or his parents, is because of what was written in the law.
Those under the law of sin, who have fallen from the grace of God, albeit in many cases, temporary, are subject to the consequences of the sin that is written in the old testament. Just because we are under a new covenant, doesn't mean we can't fall into the old at times. When one moves out of faith, they are no longer in the kingdom of God, nor are they under the grace of God that covers sin.
Take a look around you. Probably more than half the church is sick or has something wrong with them and have to depend on doctors, medication, and treatments to get by.
There is at least one thing I know, and that is that you
have to believe to get healed or for your prayers to be answered.
If you don't know what the will of God is, then you will have no faith. No faith, means no answer.
If you depend on the word of God or the gospel for your salvation, then you should do the same for your healing. The good news didn't stop at salvation, but Jesus came to give us life, and to give it more abundantly.
Is sickness life more abundantly? No.
Is poverty life more abundantly? No.
If I didn't
know what I wrote was truth, then I wouldn't have written it. I would have added, 'I believe' or 'I think'. But because I believe what is written, as it is written, and many in the church do not, I am made out to be a heretic.
Can or does a child see or understand what the parents do?
Can or does a nonbeliever see or understand what a believer sees and understands?
Can the ignorant know what has not been revealed to them?
Can those who walk in the natural, walk in the spirit at the same time?
Can those who keep God's word before their eyes see things the way those who don't?
The answer to all those questions is a resounding, no.
So neither can I see things the way those who don't look at everything through the word of God. Even as I couldn't see at the time, how my wife drove her car without gasoline, twice. Once for two hours and another for 2 and 1/2 hrs. Or how she commanded the water in the basement to be gone in two hours without bailing or pumping the water out, when everyone else was bailing and pumping theirs for days. Where did the water go, when it had no place to go? Where did the fuel come from when there was no fuel in the tank? How did she get perfect eye sight over night?
It was all by faith. And that was because she was looking at everything the way God does. We are to think, speak, and walk like God.
When you stop looking at the natural and keep you eyes on the promises of God, then you can really believe, and nothing will be impossible to you. Even as it is written.
I have been on both sides of the fence, concerning the way I see things, and looking at things through the rose colored classes of God's word. And I have found that when I failed to believe, I got nothing, as it is written. And when I really believed, more like know that it was done, then I got what I believed, as I believed, every time, without fail, even as it is written.
I have done a good bit of studying on the subject of healing and deliverance, and I have many testimonies and experiences of what I have written, and yes, I believe differently than most on this forum, but do not assume just because I don't see things the way you do, that I am wrong, believing a lie, and that you are correct, holding the truth.
When you see through, believe, and act on the promises of God, nothing looks impossible any more, but all thing are made possible.
One of the problems with many in the church of today is that they only believe the scriptures concerning salvation, but not the ones concerning our healing, deliverance, answered prayer, or even having what they say.
The church has even made the truth of God's word concerning the Word of faith, into a lie.
When Jesus said, " He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. ", He meant exactly that. Those who don't really believe on Him, will not be able to do the same or greater works than Jesus did. Though it is a process in getting there.
You cannot do any of the works that Jesus did, not know the will of the Father, either.
So if you don't know that it's the Father's will to heal His children or for your loved ones, for that matter, then you don't know the will of God or whole gospel.
One must believe in order to receive, and if you have hardened your heart against this truth, then you cannot receive your healing from God.
