“hair loss”
—
When did hair loss become a health problem?
.
As the quoted Scriptures make clear, the sick are not “prayed for.” They are “prayed over” which from the Greek indicates a taking authority over the sickness and the sick person, just as Jesus modeled in the Gospels, and why He granted “authority over unclean spirits and diseases” to us.
We do not need to ask God for help when we minister to the sick. He has already answered our prayer in Christ and we have Christ’s authority.
When Christ sent out the 12 and thee 70 He did not command them to “pray for the sick.” he commanded them “to heal the sick.” We are to do the same. “As the Father has sent me, I also send you.”
Finally, praying for one another refers to praying for your fellow man so that “you (the sick person) may be healed.” In other words, the sick is to pray for the well-being of his friends and enemies, to forgive and bless them as Jesus counseled, so that he, the sick, would be healed.
Ok....change the question. When you get sick are you immediately healed?
Exodus 4:10-11 But Moses said to the Lord, "Oh, my Lord, I am not eloquent, either in the past or since you have spoken to your servant, but I am slow of speech and of tongue." Then the Lord said to him, "Who has made man's mouth? Who makes him mute, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? Is it not I, the Lord?
You are the salt of the earth.
Didja hear the one about the optician who had just a wee bit to much juice during happy hour at the yearly Optometry Convention??
He was WAY too tipsy and he tripped; falling into a newly designed eyeglass machine.
He ended up making a spectacle of himself.
metmom, you said not the one that says Jesus bore our sicknesses, why not. If that’s what the word says why would you disregard it. And I never said you just have to say it. The Bible says you speak what you believe so if the word says one thing and you say the opposite how can you say you believe.
metmom, In Matthew 9:28,29 Jesus said to the two blind men, Believe ye that I am able to do this? And they said yes, Lord. And Jesus answered according to your faith be it unto you. Matthew 8:13 Jesus said to the centurion, Go thy way; as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. In Matthew 15:28 Jesus said to the woman, great in thy faith: be it unto you even as thou wilt. In Luke 18:42 Jesus said to the blind man, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee. And immediately he received his sight. In Luke 13:12 Jesus said to a woman, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity(while she was still bowed over). Then he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight.
metmon, In Mark 2:5 Jesus said to a man sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee. He was forgiven, but still sick of the palsy.
Satan so cherishes folks like you. Your net result is to spread disillusion. Disgusting osteenesque servants of the father of lies ... Jesus is returning soon for His Bride. After you witness it, turn from your serving the evil one and call out to GOD for forgiveness.
Then everyone should be healed as soon as they get saved.
I see that you still have not addressed post 43 and the parents whose son died from diabetes for all their faith.
And they are not the only ones there are reports for. There are plenty of others.
Jesus died in our place. He would have never died if He hadn't chosen to die in our place, for our sins. Death is the result of our sins. He never sinned, nor did he inherit corruption. Sin is passed down through our fathers. The Bible says that in Adam all have sinned, not in Eve. Jesus Father is God. Since He died in our place, there really isn't a need for us to die. Think rapture. Those raptured will never die.
To make Jesus the author of stealing, killing and destruction is to make Jesus satan. Satan comes to kill, steal destroy, Jesus came that we might have life and have it more abundantly. Just because we fall so terribly short of all that is possible in Christ, all of us, it doesn't take away from the unchanging perfection of God's will for us.
Jesus knew/knows how very short of His glory all of us would keep falling. He planned and provided accordingly. He loves and accepts us with all of our short comings. There is therefore no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus. But still, all that is not faith is sin. Faith does not walk by sight. Most arguments are according to sight, which are against God's wonderful and loving will to heal us.
Also, through pride we would rather say it isn't God's will, thereby making much of what Jesus said a lie, then to ever suggest that just maybe it is we who are at fault, it is we who do not have the kind of faith it takes for God to heal us. The Bible says “Let God be true and every man a liar”. We say let God be a liar, because we are sure our faith is perfect.
I don't think most people have hardly any concept of the utter Holiness of God. He is separated from all sin and corruption. He is perfect. Jesus said we are to be holy, as God is holy. Just how holy, separated from sin are we, or do we drink on a regular basis of the swill of the world, as normal, but think we are being holy, and then either wonder why we aren't healed, or deny that God heals, so as to excuse ourselves? Jesus, the perfect Son of God, started out His final ministry here while he was on earth going forty days into the wilderness, without food, separating Himself from all things of the world, sanctifying Himself unto His Father.
Just how separated have we ever been? Just how separated, holy are most of us? Most of us are more wrapped up in the world than we could ever guess. Many of us choose not to believe in the wonderful things Jesus has provided for us, which is the epitome of a lack of faith, and then point to our sicknesses as proof of God's unwillingness to heal us, when we should know God works through faith. Of course we remain unhealed when we won't even believe it is His will to heal us, embedded in our very doctrine. Think about that before accusing God of not being willing to heal us. I pray for the day when we Christians will start knowing the riches of God through Christ Jesus. Maybe in that day we will become raptured.
