I'm not stuck at all.

God's will be done. When we, who are faithful are not healed, it is because God wills it.

Certainly, our will may be for healing, blessing, wealth, pleasure. But God determines what we will get. Health or sickness, wealth or poverty, that may be God's will for us.

"give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." - 1 Thessalonians 5:18

To say: "God wills us to be healthy and financially wealthy" is found to be false by simple evidence.

Certainly, He is capable of it. But the fact that He sometimes doesn't do it means simply: It is not His will.

And it is the superimposition of our own will on that of God that is false theology, and a misunderstanding of the authority of God.

It is when we refuse to accept God's will when it goes against our will that separation from God and damnation is danger.

Yep. Stuck.

You believe God wills us to be sick sometimes. You believe God wants to die from disease sometimes.

You believe He has some “purpose” in it. You believe He may want to “learn something” or to “show us something” or something that you would never do. You would rightly condemn someone who did those things to their own children.

God is no “respecter of persons”. He wants all to be saved. To know that there are those that will not be saved (scriptural), but to say that that is simple evidence that He DOESN’T want the whole world to be saved is calling the Word a lie.

But you use the same logic with health and prosperity.

By your faith be it done to you. You shouldn’t have any problem with that.

Let’s leave it at that.
