Again, you’re not paying attention. I never said all believers WILL get healed, but I did say we have we have “divine health” available to us through what Jesus did on the cross.

Your “que sera, sera” approach to the Lord and the life he has for you is not scriptural.

“If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that gives to all men liberally, and does not upbraid; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavers is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.” James 1:5-8.

You claim you never said all believers will be healed.....however this is your opening post

This article is to those that might be going through a physical affliction and wondering if it is God's will for you to be healed. I just want to encourage you that it is God's will that you receive your healing.

You've backed up pretty quick on this statement.

You've been shown the inaccuracy of your position. Quit spreading false doctrine.

Oh, I'm paying attention just not agreeing with your opinion. This "divine health" of which you speak - though that phrase is not found in Scripture - will only apply to ALL the redeemed when we receive our glorified bodies at the resurrection. But in THIS life, in our MORTAL bodies, we will suffer simply because we live in a cursed by sin world. Healing miracles served a purpose in Jesus' time on earth and the ministry His Apostles carried on establishing churches among those they won to the Lord through the gospel. God certainly continues to heal in many ways though it is not always within His perfect will to heal every time we ask. This is because He has a greater lesson to teach us - one that has a more certain ETERNAL weight of glory.

This “que sera, sera” approach you presume I have to the Lord and the life He has for me is nothing more than your ill informed opinion no doubt spoken as a well-worn defense mechanism to explain why you can't adequately explain why God doesn't always heal as you expect. You have no idea what has happened in my life nor the prayers and pleadings I have expressed to my Heavenly Father through the years. That I accept EVERYTHING that God has permitted in my life with contentment, peace and grace has served so much more benefits in my life than I could imagine. I have seen plenty of what I would call miraculous answers to prayer so I don't lack in that regard. These have all worked together to strengthen my faith and love of God as I see His plans for my life more clearly each day.

I believe it is you that have an unscriptural view on this topic as evidenced by the numerous Scripture passages posted by myself and others on this thread that you seemingly ignore time after time.

Your conclusion that those who disagree with you do so because of "double-mindedness" is further proof of the LACK of faith in your own life. My Father knows what I need before I even ask. I rest in that knowledge. James 4 puts this very well:

From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?

Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.

Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.

Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?

But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.

Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.

Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.

Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.

There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?

Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain:

Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.

For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.

Meditate on these. Selah.
