[Faith-Talk] Praying for Healing

[Judy Jones]

The people who are out to "fix" you and don't want to listen cannot be your true friends.

However, there is a balance.  While one needs to be heard, the tools and advice given should be discussed in a positive way.

I've known a couple of people in my life, delightful women I call friends, in the sense that we could converse, go out for coffee etc.  But both kept telling me repeated throughout our friendship that it was so marvelous how independent I am, and sincerely meant it.  After a while though, I asked one of them, would you say the same thing to one of your sighted friends, that I appreciate her sentiments, but that there are other things to talk about that aren't so superficial.

After retirement, my husband and I relocated from where they both live.  Some people just can't get past their idea of thinking your some incredible marvel.

Most people you can educate and help them understand what you do and how you do it, in the course of growing the relationship, but these two very sweet women just, for some reason, couldn't get off the dime.

Had we stayed there, I may have tried to further develop the relationship, but hard to know.

Hi  one of my experiences with healing is i was at my mom and dad's camp
they owned and opporated a bible camp used to that is.
Anyway back to the topic at hand I was approached at least once
inparticular that is but 4 guys got around me praying my blindness out of
me. They were very persistant about it.
Also they just got whatever about it one guy stayed with me after that and
went right in my face he told me this much seek your healing and  there was
a time I actually did call up a few healing ministries one sent me a
healing cloth i put it near my eyes once and then thought better it and i
said to myself i am tossing that peace of garbage out.

The other part about praying for healing is that
There was one guy i used to talk to for most of the time for some years
maybe year or couple years and this was during that time that i was
investagating it more fully.
He praid at the end of each o phone call with me and guess what he would
pray for my healing and then he said can you see yet do you notice anythig
anything different.

So that is my experience.
The bible never tells us we will be fully be heald on earth
