[Faith-Talk] Praying for Healing

[Judy Jones]

Linda, that is a great story.

People should never judge another person's faith.  A person's faith is no
one's business but God and the individual.  People make too many wrong
assumptions that way.

One time, someone told me that God told him to lay hands on me to heal my
eyes.  At the time I told him, it was not God, as God would have confirmed
it with me as well and we would be in one accord, that I already had given
it to God, and that he could heal me any time.

However, it also could be that in a time or place, God would use someone to
heal, and we have to ask ourselves, is this a God-opportunity?  We need to
stay open.

At the time of the incident I described, the way it was handled, I can say
it was not of God.

Hi again Humberto and All,

I have a story to share from a long ago. I went to a Full Gospel
Businessmen's meeting, or something like that. A gentleman came up to talk
to me. He told me that God doesn't want me to be blind. I said, "If God
didn't want me to be blind, I wouldn't be. He has given me a ministry in
music which I might not have if it weren't for my blindness. Besides, don't
try to take away my excitement about the first face I see in heaven being
that of Jesus Christ." He said, "But just think how much your ministrn would
be enhanced if you got your sight back!" I don't remember what I said, but
what I thought was, "No, what you're really saying is that your ministry
would be enhanced if you healed me!" I'm sure it's a good thing I didn't say
that!

The Holy Bible does not say that all will be healed. We will have suffering
and disease here on earth because of sin in the world, but we will all be
made whole when Christ takes us to Himself in heaven and places us in the
mansions He is now preparing for His own.

I have a blind friend who was prayed for, and was told that he wasn't healed
because he didn't have enough faith. It messed him up so badly that he
wanted nothing to do with God. He now is one of His faithful servants!

OK, enough out of me for now. I need to get back to proofreading so that I
can get it done before I leave for Wisconsin. I'm proofing sermons ahead
because I will have limited access to the internet.

Blessings to you all, and thanks for reading, if you did!

Linda
