question about scripture and healing

[Ariel82]

Ah... but He loved the whole world, long before you were born. He actually wrote in His book that, today, "You have not, because you ask not."

Yes and some people ask for the wrong things and for,the wrong reason...that's what the rest of the book says.

It is better to be poor concerning material things and rich in God's love and mercy.

I met a homeless man and he told me he was rich, he had God and his wife. They were traveling back to Ireland after visiting their daughter. Offered to share his lunch with me because I was about her age.

They didn't have money for a straight ticket back home, but he was content with what God provided him.

What most people don't realize is they don't "need" a new car, fancy clothes, a house, electricity, tv, phones, internet or many things the world values.

We can thank God for the blessings when He gives them to us, but that's what they are....blessings, not needs.

I have been so sick that each breathe was a prayer for life. As a child I felt as if I had a demon sitting on my chest trying to suffocate me, but God held my hand and chased away the darkness.

So now I know that each breath I take is because God has a reason for me to love and I will use each breath to praise and thank Him for all the things He has blessed me with. I will pray that all will know His love and grace, that they will leave the shadows and step into His light.

God doesn't owe us anything, but because of His love and grace He has given us everything we need for eternal life.

Why are people not content with His blessings?

Well despite the Bible actually saying "He healed all", I think we know there are no incidences where He did not heal a person if they came to Him. I think that is the basic tenant of the Bible, that to get ANYTHING, you have to ask Him for it.

I disagree. First, "all" means more than one thing. Jesus went through "all of Jerusalem. Do you think he didn't miss a square inch too?

And not to get "anything." Something about in his will too.

And I stopped asking for healing from the chronic UTI's, because it stayed until antibiotics seemed to work. And then it returned and returned. I figured that was God's will, until hubby asked, and poof! It was gone. Sometimes he heals even when we don't ask.
