Hello Sarnaian,
I agree that medical science and my positive attitude because of my faith in God and wanting to get better helped me.
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

GOD WORKS THROUGH PEOPLE, HOPE, THATS WHY WE INTERCEED. BUT THANKS ANYWAY FOR YOUR ONE VOTE OF CONFIDENCE. I THINK THAT REVEALS MORE ABOUT WHAT YOU THINK YOU KNOW AND WHAT YOU REALLY BELIEVE. I GUESS EMPATHY IS JUST NOT IN YOU....OR AT LEASTY NOT FOR MORE THAN A FLEETING MOMENT.

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,

HOPE, I HASVE BEEN PERSONAL WITNESS TO FAR TO MANY MIRACLES TO CALL IT COINCIDENCE. I KNOW THAT PRAYER AND LAYING ON OF HANDS MAKES A DIFFERENCE, IT IS WHAT JESUS DID. NOW, IF JESUS WAS WRONG PLEASE SHOW ME WHERE THE PROOF IS. ie. "christian" to be christ-
like."
