Jesus also taught us to pray in line with the will of God. What if it is not God's will for a sick friend to be healed physically? What will you do then? Lose your faith?

I know people who believe every word of these so-called preachers and not much of the Bible. One woman has a retarded daughter with mental and physical defects. It was my job to tell her that her daughter would not be 'healed'. She expected her daughter to turn miraculously beautiful and to have full mental function. She was not being realistic. Sure, God could have changed her daughter, but He made her that way for a reason.

God may use everything in our lives to bring us to Him. This includes physical illness.

Forget Hinn and start reading the Bible yourself. It takes discipline, but if you do so everyday, you will find the truth out for your self. Seek and you will find.

WRONG!! I read the Bible through annually. And God does not cause disease or broken bones to teach us something. Would a loving father cut his boy's finger with a knife to say, "be careful." for if you're not careful this could happen to you? I don't think so. This is where much of mainstream "religion" loses people. God does not cause pain, sickness, disease, or striff to teach us anything. He wants the best for us always. Satan is the God of this world and he causes sickness, death, and strife. The world's reality is to not get well. When Jesus died on the cross He not only died for our sins but also for our health (by His stripes we are healed - Isaiah 53:5). And if reality says "don't believe" then we say it's God's will?
