Considering answers to those faith-questions we all ask…
Tag: HEALING
When we pray for healing does God's apparent inaction stem from our failure to work up enough faith? Would we all be fit and healthy if only we had plenty of it? Does the faith which is as small as a mustard seed really need to be as big as a mountain? I don't claim to be an expert in this field, and neither am I a man greatly empowered by the Holy Spirit as some people see power. However, I do have some answers from Scripture-the Bible-for those who are genuinely seeking.
In the "Great Commission" Jesus told his disciples that they would receive power when the Holy Spirit came upon them. What exactly did he mean by "power"? What kind of power would it be, and what would it be used for?
The subject of healing within the Christian world is huge and nebulous: this post is intended to be a broad comment and not a detailed or exhaustive analysis. It's also intended for people who are genuinely seeking facts and who may be disillusioned because what they see doesn't match their expectations.
Is sickness caused by the devil? This seems to be the view of some who blame Satan for everything that goes wrong.
For those of you in a hurry, here's the gist of my essay today: It is faith in God that we need, not faith in healers. God is able to do all things, but He does not, and He is under no obligation to do what we ask or demand. Humanity and nature is under a Curse. God can and will heal, if it's within His will.
