Okay, time for my fly swatter to return.
My old username on here was AtWhatCost. (No, I wasn't banned. I left, and I left because of this kind of mentality posing as Christian. I'm back because not everyone on this site has this pompousness to them and my hubby needed a lot of prayer. Prayer worked. God brought him back to fairly good health, when most of his doctors were telling me he was going to die in the next 24 hours -- and 24 hours was the long-term on what they were telling me -- and then telling us he would always be drastically disabled. They were wrong -- twice. He is merely not 100%, because what 70 year old is? lol)
Back then I wrote a blog about the thorn in Paul's side. Considering how often that is an excuse used to browbeat Christians who are sick and/or disabled that God has not chosen to heal, it's time to resurrect it.

Jesus said the unbelieving and the fearful (among others) will be cast in to hell over in the Book of Revelation.
Whether you like it or not choosing to not believe what God promised concerning healing being His will... IS actually a sin and being in fear is actually a sin too.
Many are not healed cause they have been taught wrongly from God's Word that healing is not for us or God does not always heal (He promised healing, so this is calling God a liar!)... even if they are otherwise sincere they have big problems and don't even know where satan got in to their lives concerning their health.
The key is understanding that satan seeks to choke the Word out of us... the best way to do that is have silly, ignorant preachers teach healing is not for us or God does not always heal from the pulpit.
This is one of satan's slickest tricks cause many preachers have a degree from somewhere and this makes lots of folks trust them thinking they are knowledgeable when in reality they are wolves who damage the sheep.
I often think about the muslim Christians
