What does James say?

He said if you go to the elders, and they pray IN faith, then that sick person is healed.

How can we deny what the Word says?

paul said this on timothy, he said timothy was nigh unto the death that the lord by His MERCY healed him

paul was his faith weak? did he not heal too when the lord chose him?

me thinks so.
 
Healing is somewhat of a mystery, not so much in the bible but as it pertains to the church today. The truth is that not many people are healed today(my observation). I have experienced actual healing from God and I have experienced trying to be healed and it did not seem to work. I also had the experience of praying to be healed for a considerable time and finally in kindness Jesus actually came to me and explained what I was doing wrong and how to be healed... and I believed what he explained to me and was healed. Bottom line, healing IS given to us through faith in Christ, but more often than not it does not happen.

It doesn't happen because PEOPLE DO NOT BELIEVE THE WORD OF GOD!

One of the most important thing we can be caught doing as Christians is believing Him. If we believe Him, then we know we are healed, so it's not really an issue and I don't always have to think about that part of my journey and I can focus on what He has given to me as a ministry.

If you are saved, then you are already healed.

you had a personal visit from Jesus?
this is extremely important news.

please tell me exactly how He appeared to you, exactly what he said to you about what you were doing wrong, and what to do right. the church needs this information.

But YOU are too dense to realize we are not talking about OT, we did not have the Holy Spirit in the OT now did we? We are talking about the NT, when Jesus went to be with His Father He gave us the Holy Spirit, in which we do healings and miracles through.

A dear friend was healed of cancer.
Another friend was healed of alcoholism
I was saved from a deadly car crash in a way that you would never believe.
Several people from infections, chronic sinus, toe infection and some other weird thing the doctor didn't even know what it was.

Now I told you Hitch, so have at it, deny it happened.

The Law required two or three witnesses ,got any?

I have friends who have overcome cancer, alcholism, avoided collision injuries etc too.

There were plenty of witnesses.
The Israelites also saw God do miracles and they, too, were in unbelief.
 
whitney said:
Yes, they did, and on the cross He took the curse away and said it was finished, we are healed already. If you become sick, say the prayer of faith and receive your healing.

FALSE.
physical healing is not part of the Atonement.

Focus Whitney I asked YOU for witnesses of what YOU claimed as several healings YOU had a direct part in.

I never said people don't get sick and either does the Bible.

YES Hitch! There were DIRECT witnesses and people were even saved on the cancer healing.

You don't have to believe me, I don't really care. I KNOW what happened and so do other people. It was a miracle from God. That person is alive and well today!

What are the gifts of the Holy Spirit? Why do you guys deny what the Bible says?
