Joint Heir -
I have read your long piece about how very important our choice to follow Jesus is. If we choose to go to hell, that is a terrible decision. I hope you have read the post on the Bible Talk group this week https://www.city-data.com/forum/group...ible-talk.html

Just few more questions:

Why do you let me suffer for a torturous illness for more than a decade with no cure and resolution in sight? What have I done so terribly wrong in my life to deserve such cruel plague for so long? Why do you leave me in the hands of satan so that he could grind and torture me day and night? Is it all a test of my faith? I’m extremely perplexed.

I already asked my question.
There's so many things that I don't understand about God. He frequently doesn't make sense to me.
I hope he'll provide relief to so many that are hurting - and soon.

Ponder this:
Heb. Ch. 1214 - Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see The Lord.
Also Jesus said in Matt. Ch. 5:8 - Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
It sounds that we must be holy and pure in heart to enter eternal life.
Jesus promises to give the Holy Spirit to those who have a commitment to be obedient to Him and His Father.

Can you wake me up earlier in the morning, feeling refreshed, so i can talk to you a bit more before start of shift? I really like talking to You and want to do it more often in solitude. Also, can you continue to help me become the person I'm meant to be? I'm going through another shift of consciousness I'd like your guidance. I'm becoming more and more aware of some things about myself that's keeping me back and I'd like some help in letting them go.

In all my long years of being a Christian, without doubt, pulling in a healing seems to be the hardest thing for man to do. I would tell you the following:

1. It IS God's will to heal you!
If you have any, right now cast out all doubt that God may/may not want to you to be healed! When healing doesn't come right away we tend to let doubt creep into our hearts and minds. When it comes to healing, I believe human faith is very fragile. Healing is a partnership between you and God. God provides the healing but it is up to you to PULL IT IN! You are tapping into the unlimited creative (and RE-CREATIVE) power of the creator of the universe. There is no situation, disease, power, sickness nor even death, that God cannot defeat. Your illness was defeated at the cross by the blood of Jesus. PRAY THE BLOOD OF JESUS OVER YOUR ENTIRE BODY. Apply it to your situation daily until you are made whole again!

2. There are a few things that can stop your healing:
a. intentional, deliberate sin in your life
b. unforgiveness of others
c. unclean spirits can sometimes block answers from heaven
d. wavering faith

Check the list and do everything in your power to knock them out one by one!
The most important is of course, the last one. Dig into your Bible and don't stop reading until you have unwavering faith. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word. Focus ENTIRELY on healing scriptures in the 4 gospels and Acts. Read them over and over and over again until they get down into your soul. If you want healing make it the most important thing in your life UNTIL YOU RECEIVE IT! Refuse to be denied!

Very good post'

I am sure that God would like spiritual healing for evefyone. See 2Peter 3:[9] The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
I personally believe that God, in His omniscience, knows the heart of anyone on the face of this earth who is hungering and thirsting after righteousness, and tha , in His omnipotence, is able to connect that individual to someone who can explain the gospel to him or her.
Unfortunately there are few who want the light, and many that are exposed to a watered-down gospel. Most of the major Protestant denominations believe that a person is saved by faith alone by Christ alone. It is my opinion that Satan is quite accomodating to that doctrine, since he can deceive people that they can hold the world and its attactions in one hand and faith in Christ in the other and still go into eternal life. Most of the preachers stress the first part of the great comission, but neglect the second part, Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you [Matt.28:20.] They teach that if we have faith in Jesus Christ as our personal Savior, they do not have to keep the commandments. But our Savior said in John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments, also in Matt. 5:[17] Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. [18] For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. [19] Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Martin Luther said in an early esposition on the 5th chapter of Matthew that those who teach that it is OK to break one of the least commandments are not in the kingdom of heaven.
Best wishes to all who are seeking to know and DO the will of our heavenly Father.
