[Faith-talk] Healing, or not being healed

[PATRICK GORMLEY]

Jenny usually there's also a decided lack of maturity on the part of people 
that make statements like that.  They're acting like the pharisees did as a 
result of the healing of Bartimaeus in John 9.  Jesus did it right when he 
answered his disciples query about whose sin it was  and Jesus said none. 
I've been a catholic charismatic for over 30 years and everything is in the 
spirit's timing.  I'll give you a good example.  Recently I prayed for the 
grandson of one of the members of our prayer group.  Unfortunately he died 
and we'll never know the answer why.  That's a topic we can ask God when we 
get to Heaven.
