Don't ever let someone tell you God won't heal you.

Bruce (Grace777) is awesome at explaining things well.

I'm so glad you made posts on here Grace, not only are you helping me understand things better but you do a way better job explaining this whole thing to everyone else!

A few of you know that I have been told I am going blind.

Now, I don't like that, one bit. But I hope that I will always believe that it is somehow best for me in God's unfathomable plan.

Do I have any idea why or how? Hell no! And I could react in some pretty nasty ways because of it. But, does that change the fact that God still said He loves me, even if He lets me go blind? No, it doesn't. Nor does it change the fact that He may or may not heal me. He still CAN............... but He may not.

The REAL question is, "Do I still keep trusting He is doing what is best for me?".

Physically
Blind?

 

[JosephsDreams]

Why is that obvious to you? I understand that a lot of people have to wait a long time to be healed, I've had my illness for well over a year already. And people like blue, who have been sick with something for decades. But the truth is God promised healing for everyone.

CHAPTER THREE - IS IT GOD'S WILL TO HEAL YOU?

Saying to yourself "God won't heal me, I have to die this way" is unscriptural.

If God has not said to you "I will not heal you" then you have no reason to think you shouldn't be healed.

Unless we have heard from God that he will not heal us, we are called to believe He may heal us.
Conversely, God is not obligated to answer us. Sometimes His silence is a reply unto itself.
Also, like many principals the bible points out, we can not just sit back and wait without doing our part.
Prayer of course is first and foremost key. Still, if your not aligning yourselves to Gods deliberate manner of physical lifestyle, in a fashion, your testing God.
You would not throw yourself off a bridge and expect God to break His law of gravity. would you?
So do some of you blatantly ignore His laws of would constitutes good health for your body?
You may be ignorant of them, true. Yet the bible says my people perish because of lack of knowledge.
Ignorance does not negate reality.
Live a life style that God endorses or prepare to live at a level lower then what God intended for your body, even in this fallen jungle of a world.

So while God may heal you, and prayer is our mandate, obedience goes a long way too.

Jesus is a physician. Did he not say that himself? He never said "Hey look at me I'm God, I want you to be sick forever because you need to be close to me!" You can become healthy and still be close with God afterwards!

Jesus never said "no". He healed them all.

From my years of experience and observations for the most part, most people in need of healing will be waiting for the rest of their lives for healing. For those that God does not directly heal there are doctors but their scope of healing is limited. I have known people of great faith that God chose not to heal in their lifetime. By all means, stay as healthy as you can possibly be.

I never said God won't heal me, what I said that even if you have sufficient faith to be healed God may chose to provide your healing later in eternity. For most people this is the case.

the devil 'never' TRICKED Paul after his 'conversion'; obviously his FAITH carried him
all the way through his life until his race was complete, thorn and all...

For most people this is the case? How do you know that? You've met every single sick person who believed in God? Sure, maybe the people you've come across have not been healed but don't speak for "most" sick believers around the world.

Thank you so much for posting this it is really helpful to me!

Why Am I Disappointed?

When I feel disappointed by God, it’s because at that moment there’s something I’m longing for more than him, whether it be healing, employment, a child, a wife. As good as healing, employment, children, and marriage might be, none of them will come close to satisfying me as much as God himself.

So when I’m disappointed by God, there’s a problem with my faith. I’m not trusting that God himself is who he says he is for me in Jesus. I’m not trusting in him as my all-satisfying treasure.

So what can I do? Here are eight steps I have personally found helpful in disappointment.

Come to Jesus Christ with your disappointment, trusting him to meet you and change your heart (Psalm 40:1–3).
Confess that you are longing for something else more than him. Ask him to forgive you through the cross. Receive assurance of complete forgiveness (1 John 1:9).
Plead for the work of the Spirit to change your heart, strengthen your faith, and enable you once again to experience Jesus Christ as your all-satisfying treasure (John 6:35).
Since the Spirit does his work through the word, find Scriptures describing God’s love, power, and majesty, and promises concerning God as your all-satisfying treasure. Pray earnestly over these Scriptures. Fight to trust them (Galatians 3:5).
Continue praying over and trusting these Scriptures until you feel the Spirit changing your heart, and you once again experience Jesus Christ as your all-satisfying treasure (1 Peter 1:8).
Pray over God’s promise that he will ordain every trial to bring you even more heart-satisfaction in him (2 Corinthians 4:17). Do this until the Spirit strengthens your faith that whatever you lack will bring you even more of God.
Also pray over God’s promise that he will take care of everything else you need (health, work, money) in such a way that it will bring you even more of him (Philippians 4:13, 19; Matthew 6:33).
Continue to pray for the other things you desire (healing, employment, children, marriage), but fight to keep trusting in Jesus as your all-satisfying treasure (Psalm 43:4).

How many people have you come across that died of their sickness and had a lot faith? And those people that you said are waiting for the rest their lives to be healed are you still in contact with them?

I believe you when you say that. It seems like you've only seen people with faith that haven't been healed. I know a lot of people with faith who've been healed of things like cancer, brain malaria, tuberculosis, severe asthma etc.. So honestly, it seems to me that there is a lot of people being healed of their sicknesses by God and you're just not aware of it.

I agree that it is God's will for some people to die in their illness. But I've also seen God heal people plenty of times. Not just of the things I mentioned earlier, but I've seen crippled people in wheelchairs get up and walk after being in them for decades, blind people gain their sight back, deaf people get their hearing back, people with uneven limbs get them evened out, people get healed of arthritis, people healed of various kinds of disorders, relieved of constant pain from past surgeries etc.. God heals people all the time.

This is why its not a good idea to tell people "God doesn't heal a lot of people, so you shouldn't expect it." I'm not saying you said that but a lot of people have that mindset but God seriously promises healing in his Word. It seems like people on here act like I'm talking out my butt and disregard me as someone with stupid child faith.

The question is not whether or not God can heal you, but will He. Of course we know God is capable of healing any disease for He made up all the matter that is. He knows it inside and out, He speaks and it is so. All things are possible with God. All things. The question you need to ask is, "Will God heal me?"

This question is posed to understand God's will, and with that will often times there can be timing and purpose. When one asks this question its not to see if He can, but whether or not He will do so. Again, His capabilities are not in question, but His willingness to heal is.

Now, this point may bother some people. It may even ruffle some feathers, but read it carefully. This isn't blaming the sick person for a lack of faith. It is simply making a distinction between hope and faith. A person can pray for healing asking God to heal them, and in this prayer there is hope. Its a hope that is relying upon God's present mercy as opposed to His established will.

What I mean is that some Christians seek after healing (hoping for it), as opposed to commanding it (in the name of Jesus). They are asking and seeking for something that is already provided through Jesus Christ. The thing is, a person needs to stand up, step out in faith, and command healing. This isn't so much a critique of the sick, as it is the minister. A person must understand God's will in order to have faith for its attainment.

So, if a person doesn't believe it is God's will to heal them they then can only hope God heals them as opposed to having faith He will. Often times I read people's comments on the threads here (over time) and its like a double minded man. One moment they say they have faith, and in the next they say that God won't ever heal them in this life. So then, is their faith God will heal them at death? Considering Jesus words, about your faith doing it unto you, thats a little scary, haha.

What if instead of thinking God can heal you, you think it is God's will to heal you now? Then you can have faith, because you expect the healing. You do not only hope to be healed, and believe in His capabilities but you also expect God to heal you because He has revealed in His word that that is His very will (through Jesus Christ).

The point being, where people often claim to have faith it is not faith. It is hope. Hope and faith while often accompanying one another, are not synonymous. I can hope God heals me or I can have faith that He will. There is a difference. Hope, while it may get results, does not have the same results as faith. Faith, expectation, and belief these things lead to results. Even so, God's mercy if we lack faith.

All in all, God is faithful. Learn His will, then believe.

For most people this is the case? How do you know that? You've met every single sick person who believed in God? Sure, maybe the people you've come across have not been healed but don't speak for "most" sick believers around the world.

Could you imagine someone starting a healing revival with that statement? "Hello ladies and gentlemen! God is a magnificent and merciful God. Believe and you will be healed, but keep in mind that most of you won't be healed in this life. He'll take care of you after you die." Who then will come forward in faith? You just cut the amount of miracles in half simply by speaking doubt instead of faith and life.

 

[Depleted]

Sorry if I misunderstood sis. I just remember you telling me God won't heal you until you get your new body and that just sounded so wrong to me.

Why does that sound strange to you? You just said...

Stop comparing yourself to other people. Unless God tells you "no" himself, you have no business trying to assume what God can't do for you.

 

[Depleted]

Just because you're mortal doesn't mean you have to be sick with something.

No one died from healthiness.

Not only did God say No to Paul but He knocked him off his high horse to get his attention.

Donkey.

Low horse, at best. lol
