Proof God Heals Cancer

I don't appreciate your tone in your statement here. You seem to be implying that I don't have the stomach to actually read this sermon you've posted. That's preposterous. I'm being skeptical about this healing stuff because I have yet to see an instance where it was a definite miracle healing. There are skeptics ready and willing to record a miraculous event, but no one has ever produced an account of something that is proof of divine intervention. The examples in this sermon are definitely some unusual occurrences, but when it comes down to it, we just don't know how reliable these peoples' testimonies are, and we don't know if they were as gravely ill as they claim to be (even if they were being completely honest about how ill they thought they were). And even if they were in situations as truly dire as these were, their healing isn't necessarily the result of a miracle because sometimes people just get well for completely inexplicable reasons, with or without having been the recipient of a prayer or an anointing. If these healings were legit, then someone needs to present proof.

The James Randi Educational Foundation has a standing offer of $1,000,000 to anyone who can demonstrate, under controlled circumstances (i.e. no cheating), supernatural or paranormal powers. If this all works as you say it does, then bring one of these sick people to their center, do what you do to get their healing, and have medical doctors examine them throughout that time to prove that it was God that healed them and not some other factor. Show some real, hard evidence that these healings could not have been the result of any natural forces at all. God very well may have healed these people, but what about all the other people who go on without healing? How are they supposed to be encouraged by another's healing when they still have to suffer? Have they been forgotten by God? Surely not. They're just dealing with what we all have to deal with here on earth. Jesus and the apostles did miracles during their time to demonstrate God's power, so that people would believe. I'm not saying that the same can't happen now, but I've never seen a case where someone's healing could not have been the result of natural causes. And more often, I see people who just get sicker and die. That's just life, and we need to face that reality, not be led astray into wish-thinking or errant pattern seeking.

First - I haven't read everything everyone has said.

What I know - Believing is the top priority regardless of the technique you choose to receive your healing in. I believe in herbs healing, people don't believe in that. Swizzle believes in faith healing. Some believe in Western medicine healing. Some believe crystals heal. Some believe acupuncture heals. There are a million beliefs regarding healing.

The fact in all of them is belief. Accepting the healing and KNOWING it will work.

Doubt doesn't heal.

BTW - I don't believe in herbs in place of faith healing. I believe that God put herbs on earth for us to heal.

There is an elderly man in my church that has had cancer for many years. The doctors said that there was no hope of curing it and the best thing they could do was possibly slow down the spreading of it with chemo and radiation, but even the treatment could possibly kill him in his condition. He had over a hundred tumors in his body and as of his second to last test he was showing no signs of improving. Our church had been praying for him a lot! This past Tuesday the doctors did a test and found him 100% cancer free !!!! This makes the 2nd person in our church in the past month alone that has been healed of cancer, and there has been several more that have been suddenly healed of other illnesses after having been prayed for! I used to be an atheist and even after I was saved i doubted if God really worked miracles, but I've seen to much lately to count it all as coincidence. In my opinion, God is real and He does work miracles. =)

thank you that i don't live in a blind oblivion such as you do, and gender my god with an askew eye as any adult should. yeesh.

Not simply believing, my friend. Many believe in many types of manipulations of spiritual power, and worship many gods while doing so, but one thing I'm certain many here will agree upon, is that Jesus' miracles were supported by the Holy Spirit of God. The one true God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

Simply because there are those in our time, who have been able to produce positive results in a person's life by manipulating spiritual power, this is in no way equal to the miracles of Jesus, in this present day, or even thousands of years ago. Religious unification, (all roads lead to heaven), or all supernatural manifestations of healing are of God, regardless of the belief, are some of the false teachings and heretical philosophies (such as in wicca, which are deceiving many in our time. and are sending many souls to hell).

No one has ever been able to fully explain why some people are healed and others are not, but faith definitely played a part in the lives of those who were healed. The bible clearly supports this fact. Christians are wise to avoid what you are introducing as alternative methods of healings. On the surface, these may seem harmless and useful as techniques to produce positive physical results, but under closer examination, they fail to line up with even the most fundamental beliefs of true Christianity. I’ll give you some examples, using a few of your ‘millions of beliefs regarding healing’.
In order to believe in Acupuncture, one must believe in the Zang Fu, believing that there are Yin organs and Yang organs, (believing that the body is divided into Yin and Yang energy channels).

In acupuncture, one must also subscribe to the idea that each of our organs interact with the 5 earthly elements, (elements are also of great importance in the wiccan belief system).

I certainly can’t leave out the many forms of psychic healing, which once again, depend on the belief of analyzing and treating the metaphysical body, supporting the theories of healing through manipulating spiritual energy.

I could continue, but I know that the readers of this post already get the message, that this is in no way, something that God is doing or supporting. Many things are possible, my friend, contacting the dead, communicating with demon spirits, levitation, astrology and fortune telling, but these have nothing to do with the manifestations of the gifts of the Holy Spirit, and moreover these do not glorify the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

If you tell me that more broccoli might increase the levels of serotonin in my brain, producing a better feeling physically, I might believe that. But what you have believed and are possibly attempting to teach, are consistent with the efforts of those who wish to change the image of God into a cosmic force manifesting himself as many different deities, and this my friend, is not Christianity.

But, on a lighter note, Oprah Winfrey, Deepak Chopra, and the Tibetan Dalai Lamas, would applaud your efforts.
Technically, there is no such thing as a ‘Faith Healer’. This was a label assigned to those who were given gifts of healing through the power of the Holy Spirit. A more correct way of understanding what is transpiring during a service where mass healings are occurring would be located in;

I Corinthians 12:28
…And in the church God has appointed first, apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then workers of miracles, also those having gifts of healing,

Songster, I invite you to take a moment to PM me or start a private chat with me.

I think you might want to get to know me before you judge what I believe in and what I don't believe in.

Jessica,

I'm certain you are as pleasant and as sincere as you seem to be, but when it comes to matters such as this I like to keep things out in the open. It's the best way for, not only you and I, but for others to understand what both of us are affirming, as we, being Christians, (believing that Jesus Christ is the only way to God and Heaven), try to arrive at the truth concerning these things.

Had you mentioned herbal remedies as a way to treat cold symptoms, for example, I would have bypassed the thread, unless I was moved to give 'kudos' to my brothers and sisters on this thread who have been giving glory to God for some very wonderful healings, but because you specifically mentioned 'millions of beliefs regarding healing', crystals, and acupuncture, I felt the need to comment by producing the facts concerning these methods, not pertaining to herbs (simple vegitation which may have a few healing properties), but these other healing techniques, which are rooted in some very dangerous belief systems.

Please understand, I am not judging you for believing or practicing these things, that is not my responsibility as a christian, but facts are important, otherwise some may assume that something is completely harmless, when it isn't.

Well, if you want to bring it all out in the open, you did judge me and you continue to. You intentionally made fun of me by bringing up the Oprah and Deepak Chopra reference.

Honestly, I came here to escape this type of behavior. I thought this was safe haven with other people who believed and who would show love.

I do not use crystals. I do not participate in ungodly rituals.

I believe that God teaches everyone many things. Unfortunately, they don't all listen. For example, don't you think you could have stopped me and shown me what you believe the error of my ways is in a better way?

Umm... I'm Chinese, I grew up with this and more, and I can tell you that you're wrong... lol Some people may believe in that - particularly Westernized people who actually know very little about acupuncture other than what the practitioners promote it as. There's a thing with Western culture that seems to love Lululemon & yoga. I call it marketing. I guess you call it Zang Fu, Yin organs, and Yang organs. Unfortunately, translating "chi or qi" into English isn't quite as easy as some people would like.

By the way, if you ever consume too much processed foods, make some gok fa cha and some ha fu cho. It will do you some good.

I encourage the believers, in this thread, to conduct research for themselves, and to make up their minds and determine, for themselves, whether I have presented anything false.

You haven't presented anything false. What you have done is present one view. Unfortunately, the view that you've presented is the result of years of marketing genius, if it can be called that. I once knew someone who said martial arts is evil and against God because of the same thing - ying, yang, and the whole mumble jumbo but I have taken, not only tai chi, but qi gong lessons before. In fact, my family has a direct connection to some of history's famous martial arts teachers. If they heard about people thinking it is about pagan worship, they will only laugh because it's only marketed that way to attract silly foreigners who find novelty in anything that they don't have.
