Well how good for you. As for me, I enjoy that my Father in heaven sometimes gives me first class tickets for the price of coach, gives me a new home at a discount price in a location that is way out of my price range, and blesses me materially just as I'm already blessed spiritually with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies.

Those who came to Jesus seeking healing weren't turned away by the likes of your thinking, I can assure you that. Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He blesses me with material things too, I just don't worship them as I worship Him :)

>>and blesses me materially<<

Interesting, in that it's a direct contradiction to what He taught, which was to not follow or concern ourselves with material things.

Coveting (desiring earthly treasures) is idolatry - both are in direct violation of the 10 Commandments.

Re: "Seeking healing" - "Healing" and "having stuff" are two different things, please don't attempt to blur the lines. I am healed by the indwelling Holy Spirit - and that's all I need. Again, He said "My grace is sufficient", and I'm not in any position to question or deny that.
