[Faith-talk] Healing and Faith

[Maureen Pranghofer]

Hi
I don't think we exactly know with Paul, I don't believe it is from lack of 
faith, I think satan was buffeting him as it says in the verse before and 
somehow God allowed it.  I also think perhaps Paul had a pride issue.  And 
one thing I know about God is He is not absolute and because something works 
one way for one person we want to put it that that same exact way will work 
for everyone, for me I pray for God's healing of my legs and eyes often and 
have been picturing myself walking and almost feeling it in my body lately 
and am confident that I'll be restored.  I think God sees us as being whole 
but if we don't want that then that's the path for some, I haven't come to a 
place where I can picture myself seeing but in the meantime I am very 
content with God where He has me know while I'm waiting for restoration.

Hi Maureen,

I take it that you and this man believe that Paul's thorn in the
flesh was not removed because he focussed on his faith and not on his
Lord. As long as we are on this earth, we will suffer from diseases
and sicknesses; no eutopia in sight where everyone is whole and well
all the time. God is soveregn, and He ordains us who are blind to be
so. Some are healed, most are not. I'm content as God has planned it
for me here, and look forward to seeing Jesus' face first thing when
I get to heaven.

Yes, disease and sickness can be a spiritual issue, but not always.
Look at Asa, for example. but one size doesn't fit all, and those who
preach that we aren't healed of whatever it is we want healed is
because we don't have enough faith are most often just plain wrong!

That's all I'll say on the matter.

Blessings,

Linda
