I have a question that confused me. I am a protestant. I have been to the church for routine for more than ten years. I saw a lot of events from the church. It is written Jesus heals all manners of sickness and disease. But I saw a sister, she was a junior school teacher. Unfortunately, she got a disease, and she was the music worship group membership. But her disease hasn't recovered. Finally, she leaves us in her fourties. So, Jesus healing us if we believe him. But can I say if the people haven't been healed them are not believe the Jesus.
God does not promise there will not be any sickness in the lives of the believer. He also does not say that if we pray we get whatever we ask for "if we have faith."
What God does say is that He will never leave us nor forsake us and that His Grace is sufficient. He also says that anything that we ask that is IN His will He will answer.
Something we as mankind fail to be able to see is the entire picture, His ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts are higher than our thoughts.
Mankind's sinful condition causes many different effects on our bodies, God causes certain things to happen in life for His Glory and for the help of mankind.
I understand that in our finite minds, we often fail to see sickness, disease, and even death as a blessing from God. However, let me ask you this, How many times does tragedy strike and changes our outlook toward God the Father?
These are what I call "crossroads" in our life. We either choose to walk into our faith and ask God what He is trying to show us OR we get bitter and angry at God (because we cannot see the entire picture of what and why God is doing) and we turn towards the world. (with this comes a whirlwind of darkness and loneliness)
Becoming healed at the hand of God is not dependent upon our level of faith but, dependent upon if it is in God's plan for whomever to be healed.
I knew a sweet lady of God that was diagnosed with cancer. She took treatments and according to the doctors, cancer appeared to be in remission. Just weeks later she passed on to be with the Lord. This dear lady was a faithful woman of God. It was simply in God's plan for her to go home to be with the Lord.
Our bodies dying in this world is a given due to our sin condition, we cannot stop it no matter how hard we try! It is appointed unto man once to die, we do not know when that will be or how that will be. But God makes no mistakes. Even in our sickness, God's Grace is sufficient and we should never question His plan
We have lost a Sunday school teacher in our church to tragic accident. Remember that there is no death unto those who believe that Jesus is and has conquer death! These are hard things to believe while we live in this world, we must grow through them, we will become stronger in our faith. Do not allow appearance of loss , to darken what will become ours. Eternal life with Jesus!
They are with the Jesus! Rejoice we shall all live eternally with Him where there is no more sin or death!
Note: this software did not show an "O" with the long O symbol on it as I made examples of Jo, Joel, Job, Joshua, etc... it only shows the letter J alone with the long O being deleted. Which made my post kinda confusing.
Have you noticed that the majority if not all of the ancient names of the Israelites are phrases of praise unto Jah.
His name was Jo at first... Jshua, Jel (Jo-el.. Jo-(is)-god(elohim)), Jnathan, Jb, Jnah, etc...
J morphed into Jah and Jah (Jahshua) morphed into Jeh (Jehshua) as each generation changes the language. This was due to the captivity of Israel by Babylon and other Heathen peoples. The generation of today does also. Words don't mean the same thing as they used to mean. You really look hot does not mean: that you look like your temperature has greatly risen to bring forth sweating.
The Israelites had to learn other languages of their captors. This in time changes their own language to incorporate the new language into their own.
As the good news of the Messiah (the gospel) spread quickly to other nations written in a language foreign to Israel, the name of the Messiah was changed to be more acceptable to them. The surviving testimonies of the good news named Jehshua as Isous, which later morphed into Jesus. Neither of the foreign names praised J, Jah, Jeh.
The name of Jehshua, Jahshua, Jshua was a praise to the God of Israel, but the new foreign names did not praise the most high God, J/Jah/Jeh.
John was informed by the revelation (the revealing by Jahshua to him) of the works of the deceiver he warned the disciples would come... already his name had been made void...I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and HAST NOT DENIED MY NAME.
Perfect Understanding will reveal to you that the King of Israel would NOT HAVE a foreign, Heathen name. It would be an Israelite name praisng the God of Israel.
Who will think that it doesn't matter at all to God/Jah and the Messiah what the people call him. Commandment was made to keep the people from calling him something else to make his name Useless (in vain)
Hi Michael, the Bible doesn't say we will never be sick or have hardship or suffering. It guarantees we will have them, and says we will even be persecuted for our faith. I think anyone pushing a health and wealth doctrine is pushing a lie.
James 1:12
Romans 5:3-5
Matthew 10:28 - says to not fear those who can do us harm but fear God.
It does say if you pray with faith you will basically get what you ask. I think this means you have genuine and pure faith, not praying for selfish things like a new ferrari. That is my opinion.

In who's name was her healing asked?
