For All those who think they can Heal others	hOPE12	09/28/05
Hello Everyone, I was at the hospital not too long ago and a baby, about 6 mmonthes old was dying of cancer. The small baby had treatment which made them frail and weak and the little girl lost all her hair and ability to eat. I know that If I had the power to heal this baby, I would because it broke my heart to see this baby suffering. For those out there who claim to have the ability to heal others, how do you walk away from a tiny baby who is suffering and not heal them? If I had the power to do so, I would. How can you not use your power to help the innocent ones? Please explain. Take care, Hope12

Because we all have different levels of spiritual belief and faith, science will never be able to prove beyond a shadow what is from the cure science gives and what is fron the spiritual help and strength that God gives to us. We gain help from God but only if we ourseleves put forth the effort and work hard at a goal. I truly believe that prayer does not cure our physical ailments but gives us the strength and power to cope with them and along with medical science and our spiritual positive attitude, that alone can make us feel better and even to the point of overcoming many of the problems or diabilities associated with sickness. We do not fully understand or comprehend the relationship between the mind and the body. I believe they are closely associated and was created to work together. The positive mind can force the body to do thing that are remarkable. We can say they are mircles from God, not because God has healed us directly but by means of the ability of the mind and body to work together thereby causeing a healing to take place. God has healed us but not in the way those who believe in spiritual healings do. God has healed us because he has created our bodies and minds to work together for our benefit. When we serve God and have works that are in harmony with his will and purposes, we are able to release the healing powers of our mind into our bodies. We are either positive people and servants of God or we are not. If we are, we do not need another person to heal us, God can by means of our relationship with him do that all by himself, if we are deserving of his blessings. Remember, we do not receive God's blessings unless we are obedient to his principles and laws. No matter what some think they can do, they can not. Only God can cure and bless people. Each of us have the abiltiy within ourselve to heal ourselves spiritually and the other blessings will follow. Maybe we will be sick in this system but soon sickness will be a thing of the past. Only then will true physical ailments be cured permenently. Take care, Hope12 Clarification/Follow-up by hOPE12 on 09/29/05 8:17 am: Stony, Talk about empathy and me not having it Stony. That is okay because God does not ephathize with those who are out and out wrong. As to the one star, I know that you do not like one star rating and I can appreciate that Stony, but how else am I to show I totally disagree with your reply? Yes, It is true God does work through other peoples kindnesses. However no where or way is anyone cured just by praying with them. I am sorry if you ar offended by the one star but that is what your comments needed to show how I totally disagreed with them. Take care, Hope12 Clarification/Follow-up by hOPE12 on 09/30/05 10:50 am: Stony, Yes Jesus cured the sick and raised the dead, but he is God's Son and perfect. We are sinners and not perfect. When Jesus apostles died so did the gifts of miraculous cures of physical ailments. Read 1 Corinthians 13:8-11. The bible does not lie. We are not to ask for divine cure but the strength to cope or deal with our imperfections physically. We however can ask for a spiritual healing and when the bible speaks of spiritual healing it speaks of those men who take the lead in the congregation. These older men are to cure our spiritual needs. We should never confuse the two sicknesses. Imperfect man ca cure spiritual sickness but Jesus who is perfect was given the power to cure the physical sicknesses and even to raise the dead. In answer to your question, no Jesus is not wrong and never would I say such a thing, but man's ideas and interpretation of what the bible actually says is wrong. Take care, Hope12

First no "person" has the ability to heal, God has and allows people to have and use that gift. And it is not like a switch, they real peole who use that gift can only use it when God allows and tells them to. Jesus when he walked the earth, did not heal everyone, did not feed everyone, why, can't tell you, The fact is that sin entered the world, and because of it, man now dies, no matter who we are, at some point, we die. The time appointed is not ours or anyone elses to deside. Only God decides for reasons we do not know or understand. But God does either by pure faith of the ill person, or though his grace and power channeled thouigh someone else, allow healings to happen. The most amazing one was in Chandler OK about 20 years ago. I was there with a young boy, the doctor in the ER said he had Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, the red blothes were very obvious. they were going to transfer him to one of the major hospitals. While we prayed around him, you could see the spots actually clearing. By the time the ER doctor returned, there was no sign of it what so ever. If a man claims he as the power, he is false, no man has the power, but God does choose some men to do his work. But it is not a healing of anyone and everyone. God will tell them specificly who, when and where.
