I pray that God gives the doctors insight into your symptoms, and you get a correct diagnosis. 
AAM- I just wanted to say thanks to all for your support. I did find two new skirts that noone in their right minds could complain about, and they are actually attractive, and 'me'.
I praise God for the fact that my monthly assignments were received (by my mentor) with approval and even enthusiasm, and God is opening doors to make a new prayer ministry possible at my church. It seemed impossible, but I said, Lord, if this is your idea, and not mine, you're going to have to make it work! I am feeling very encouraged! |
I am not trying to start an arguement or anything, but I do have a question....where in the Bible does it say that it might not be God's will to heal someone? Just curious what verse people stood on to believe that. I do not believe that way because in the Bible Jesus healed everyone that asked and believed. I do not recall a verse that says anything about Jesus saying, "Sorry it is not my will to heal you." But he did say things like, "your faith has made you whole" and "be it to you according to your faith" and "I will be thou clean".

I just wanted to throw out some verses as to why I believe the way I do and
I was wondering what verses people used to believe that God decides to heal some and others not. God does not is not a respecter of persons, meaning he does not choose to heal one person and refuse to the other.
verses talking about how God does not favor
Job 34:19 [How much less to him] that accepteth not the persons of princes, nor regardeth the rich more than the poor? for they all [are] the work of his hands.
Pro 24:23 These [things] also [belong] to the wise. [It is] not good to have respect of persons in judgment.
1Pe 1:17 And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning [here] in fear:
Act 10:34 ¶ Then Peter opened [his] mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
may I ask another question.....
What does it do for God to NOT heal a person? He does not get glory from that. He gets glory and praise from people being healed. He loves us and wants us happy and healthy.
That is just my thoughts on it and the scriptures as to why I believe the way I do.
Again, I am not trying to cause any arguements or make people upset, I just wanted to know how they justify what they believe.
I should definitely be here more often! Lately I have been really struggling to get up and read my Bible everyday and pray in the morning like I know I should. My mother shared a story with me however that encouraged me: She told about a story I believe it is in Luke? I'm going to have to ask her but anyway it's about someone who is knocking on another's door asking for food because they were hungry, and eventually, because of the persistence, the person received some food. Her point was to approach prayer the same way, for something that is needed, in my case health. I have been having such a hard time finding a diagnosis for my condition, and I can't work because of it and my husband cannot make enough money for our family. We wouldn't get by at all if it wasn't for my mother's help. Anyhow...it really encouraged me to keep praying..but it's so hard sometimes. Anyway...I hope you all are well!
Oh I am a SAHM also

: I hope they go well!
