Spiritual healings
ez2u:
kat please exp;ainto me exactly what you are saying because what i read is two different things. God does heal today yesterday and he will tomorrow also when anyone is sick call the elders together to pray for you. That hasn't left this earth Jesus still heals people. Satan tries to copy Jesus to fool people in many ways Jesus still heals people. please explain to me what you mean. Peggy

Hi Janice,
I think you might be right about that, thanks for pointing it out :)
ex2u, God certainly does still heal people. I believe we should all pray for God intervention for those in need.
But I feel that many times in the churches, that put on a great show and claim to heal so many people, this is not of God. These displays do not prove a person was healed, at that moment a person may be so excited as to think they are. How many of those are truely miraculously healed?
What are signs and wonders that lead people astray as spoken of in Mark? Is it these claims of the churches in healing? What other claims of miraculous acts do they have?
Mark 13:22 For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform signs and wonders, to lead astray, if possible, the elect.
mercy, peace, and love

Oblivion582, sorry if my previous post came off a bit harsh. The bucket story is true though.
The movie Leap of Faith starring Steve Martin is pure fiction but shows more truth than you might imagine. Self-proclaimed faith healers do not heal, but God does -- if it is his will and plan. The same is true for elder's prayers, the healing will come to pass only if it is Gods will. Gods spirit is the anointing oil, and comes only as He sees fit to send His spirit to heal.
God lead my wife, my sick son, and I through many experiences with "healers", not to train us but to teach us. Sometimes the hard way.

P.S. God did heal my son! :) But in His time, at His pace, not ours or anyone elses.

Thanks for your answers guys! Basically your collective answer is what I think of it. Healings definitely happen, but it's not as common as TBN or people in the faith movement would have you believe.

Hi All... and Kat I was so bloomin' tired I forgot to post the verse... which is the actual reason why (and not just because Ray says so.)
2Thes 2: 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
Don't know if there is a second witness, will think about it. :)
Have a great day, Janice
