And what happens if there is no money to go the hospitals, are you saying they should sit at home and die? undecided

Like Buhari sincerely praying to take Nigeria out of Recession but will not be healed until he follows The Directors leading. And God is The Director. You can't be healed of Corruption when Magu is in charge. God will never answer such Prayers.

SHALOM!

OLAADEGBU:
Why does God only heal certain people and not everyone who sincerely prays for healing?

DEFINE "SINCERE PRAYER?"

1. FAITH must be CONSISTENT.

"FULL GOSPEL" Christians who complain of not being Healed are never people who were active in praying for others.

When THEY need Healing, for themselves or others, SUDDENLY, they RIP "FAITH" out of their ass- and THEIR Faith is suddenly as "SINCERE" as. that of any other Saint who ever lived!

Many "Full Gospel" Christians have complained that they "prayed sincerely" for the Healing of some PRECIOUS LOVED-ONE- yet they NEVER prayed so sincerely for OTHER people's loved ones!

They NEVER saw that as their DUTY!

They didn't CARE when it was OTHER people's lives AND SOULS on-the-line! Only when it concerned THEM PERSONALLY did they START addressing the issue of Healing.

Whereas, you yourself only look at the one instance in their life when Healing was required- ignoring the thousands of other instances that existed, but you are blind to.

2. READING THE BIBLE DOES NOT IMPART FAITH.

Most Christians only care about what The Bible says in their own vernacular- and Fool Gospel (sic) Charlatans exploit that.

The first thing you learn as a Clergyman is that THE ENGLISH BIBLE IS WRONGLY-TRANSLATED.

Therefore, FULL GOSPEL Clergymen have to know the CORRECT Hebrew and Greek translations of certain verses, in order to. PROVE tbe validity of Covenant Promises so that people who have been taught otherwise can know that Healing, Prosperity, Protection and other things indeed belong to them.

A Preacher who does not know these places where the English Bible fails is a fool.

Many Christians are satisfied to die for their foolish clergymen- who do not know what they are talking about, and do not WANT to know.

. ROMANS 10:17.

17. So then Faith (cometh) by Hearing,
and Hearing by The Word of God.


THE ILLUMINATI has used this verse of The Bible to murder millions of Christians- who died in the Confusion of thinking that GOD LET THEM DOWN.

PAUL LIED BY SAYING THAT FAITH COMES BY HEARING THE WORD OF GOD.

When you read that phrase in ENGLISH, you think you understand exactly what Paul said.

What he seems to say is NOT THE TRUTH.

The Truth is:

. MATTHEW 13:23.

23. "But he that received seed
into the Good Ground
is he that heareth The Word,
and Understandeth (It);
which also beareth Fruit,
and bringeth forth,
some an hundredfold,
some sixty,
some thirty."


IF WE EQUATE THE TERM "FRUIT" to mean "FAITH," in ENGLISH it APPEARS as if YAHSHUA and PAUL were saying the same thing:

That "FAITH comes from HEARING THE WORD OF GOD."

That is what PAUL said, but that is not what. YAHSHUA said.

The term for WORD Paul used is RHEMA: THE SPOKEN WORD.

This is what the average English speaker understands the term "word" to mean.

But the term attributed to YAHSHUA, who could not have spoken Greek, by those who translated The Gospel into Greek from its original Aramaic, and had access to the people who knew EXACTLY what Yahshua said, was LOGOS: THE RECORDED WORD.

RHEMA is those words which can be uttered, heard, written, and read.

LOGOS cannot be uttered, written, nor read.

It is SPIRITUALLY PERCEIVED.

It can only be SEEN and "HEARD" Spiritually.

This is THE WORD that IS GOD.

. JOHN 1:1.

IN The Beginning was The Word,
and The Word was with God,
and The Word was God.


ONLY THOSE WHO PERCEIVE THIS DIVINE WORD OF GOD, THAT IS GOD, "HAVE FAITH."

Someone who just read something in a BOOK does not have Faith.

But when you tell people that they DO, they will FLOCK to your "church." Thinking that SPOKEN words can give them POWER; they CAN'T- only LOGOS WORDS do that.

People being cured by medicine is not "GOD HEALING THEM."

The Ancient Prophet YAHSHUA Healed people by The Power of God, and Taught Hus Disciples to do the same. That is what his Teachings were for: they describe what people need to do/not do in order to Channel The Power of God.

This is exactly the point!

MEDICINE IS A BUSINESS; IF TREATMENTS ARE NOT PAID FOR, PEOPLE ARE LEFT TO SUFFER AND TO DIE.

DIVINE HEALING, contrary to popular misconceptions, is not FREE- but it doesn't depend on HOW MUCH Money the Sick, Handicapped, and Afflicted PAY, either.

Because prayer does nothing for anybody. The people who are "healed" are those who would have been "healed" without prayer. Simple as that.

When sick people are prayed for, some get better and some do not. When sick people are not prayed for, some get better and some do not. It's exactly the same outcome, which shows that prayer is a total and complete waste of your time. Praying for sick people does nothing for them. Perhaps God exists. Perhaps He can heal people. If so, then prayer is not his mechanism for healing. You could argue that God heals through science-based medical treatments or through the body's natural immune system, but there's no objective evidence that prayer heals anybody.

It's difficult for pentecostal Christians to accept this because of (1) The cheap psychological "miracles" that they experience all the time, such as speaking in tongues and falling under the anointing. (2) Testimonies, which consist of coincidences, exaggerations, and positive confessions.

I've seen my pastor prayed for someone who wanted to go for operation. After the prayers she went to the hospital for check up after her body was completely healed (for confirmation), the doctor told her that somehow her system went back to normal.

There are many possibilities. (1) Some diseases can go away on their own when you rest and eat well. You have a sophisticated immune system which protects your body constantly. You get sick when the immune system fails. Sometimes this is due to stress, and resting solves it. Sometimes it just takes a while for your immune system to figure out how to kill the pathogens (that's why immunization is so important). (2) The doctor might have misdiagnosed her initially. What was the nature of her illness? We can do some research to find out what happened.

I called Paul a LIAR, because HE DID LIE- many times.

But that particular lie- that FAITH cometh by hearing the RHEMA Word of God is particularly damaging: CHRISTIANS DIE FROM IT ALL THE TIME.

People who have heard even all of the "HEALING SCRIPTURES" have died BECAUSE THEY HAD NO FAITH.

You know that that is true.

That can only be because what Paul said is a LIE- for the exact reason I gave.

I advise you to stop defending liars.

One of the craven OYINBO Rhetorical Devices is to covertly aberrate an argument, by altering it covertly, into something that they invented, on order to win it.

For instance, Atheists claim that GOD has INFINITE Attributes, which cannot possibly exist, and are never claimed by Him in The Bible, then, by demonstrating their Failure and Non-Viability, use those LIES to claim that God does not exist.

For instance: "UNCONDITIONAL LOVE."

Where has God ever claimed to have such a thing?

In The Garden of Eden, God loved Adam and Eve on the CONDITION that they OBEY HIM.

When they Sinned ONCE, He stopped loving them. He imposed toil and pain upon them.

When Cain and Abel worshipped Him, God favoured Abel, but not Cain.

Cain then murdered Abel, so God severely punished him- took away his ability to FARM.

GOD made an example of the Abominable Sinners of Sodom and Gomorrah.

WHERE THEN DO YOU GET YOUR "UNCONDITIONAL LOVE" FANTASY- ARE YOU, PERCHANCE, USING ILLEGAL BRAIN CHEMISTRY?

YAHSHUA categorized people into FOUR Classes: 1. DOGS; 2. PIGS; 3. GOATS; 4. SHEEP.
