Seek Truth and Believe!

Love the “speak to the hand” picture!

I think what you said is very true! I also want to add if I may that many times people get healed, but after a few days or weeks the problem seems to be back and then people want to throw everything that happened out the window and write of healing as BS. People need to realize that when the symptoms come back it doesn’t mean they weren’t healed, it means they got sick again. We are still just in a battle going blow for blow. Taking a hit doesn’t mean we failed! Just keep fighting the good fight and run the race with perseverance!

Offence hindered the people of Nazareth to experience miracles. Offence doesn’t stop Jesus however, it stops people from going to Him. Offence can not be given, it can only be taken!

Stretch forth Your Hand above what we can ask, think or imagine Jesus!

hahaha go laura!

I do not doubt what was shown in the video and that it could be true..
If the Lord can make a baby in a mother’s womb, a leg growing longer is not so fantastic, though a gift and, for someone, answer to prayer.

God’s healings can come immediately, or happen over years, slowly,
over the course of time..I’m pretty young, but I have lived long enough to receive my own healings (over time), and see a child begin to form in his mom’s womb, just to pass on, some would say, prematurely.

I have seen a young pastor’s wife, and an entire church, pray, for many months, for a miracle healing for her, and, still, she had not lived..

I am not so moved by a sign or miracle, as concern about others, some emotionalism about a thing.

We should always retain our freshness in God, so that our faith and hope allow us to maintain a child like heart and a tenderness and openness to Him! In a sense, the day we stop having faith that (our) GOD can do the
impossible, is the day, I feel, we sort of die, a bit to the possibilities of what He is, does or can do.

As for the video here. Those on the film are either incredibly blessed with awe and wonder, or incredibly good actors, which would render
the whole discussion, mute and make this an incredibly sad sharing,
with folks who may not know God, and are joining in a deceptive, sinful thing. I do not get the impression that is what went on. I was not there.

The biggest and hardest part, is not the part about the Lord giving us answered prayer and healings, but when that may not happen, what do we do with that in life, how do folks take such things?

Anyway, I retain hope for those in this video and the girl in this scene.
Signs and wonders can help us along in our faith and can be a comfort when we need a ‘flair’ from Heaven and, sometimes, it’s a comfort to see such things. At best, they are a gift, at the least, a generous reminder.

My only concern, once more, not so much the legitimacy of the scene, as
the drama around it. Not jaded, just wondering about the focus, or something..

I think balance must be something that is really important to the Lord.
This blog wrote about how the Lord makes nature, a few months back, and how He makes balance in the seemingly not balance. It was a very good post. Still and all, our God is a God who can do anything, but He, often, not always, works within the realms of nature, time and reason.

It’s great, and natural, to be excited about an unexpected blessing, or,
seems, in this case, miracle (?). But He will always help us with His peace, and perspective. A really important thing.

When it comes to healing, Jesus said he gave us (His disciples) authority over sickness, disease, etc. So, we have the authority (the keys) to get the devil off of people. However, if people don’t know what they carry and don’t know how to command their bodies to be healed if they start feeling bad after they got healed, they may have a tendency to feel like either they never got healed in the first place, or God doesn’t heal. The dangerous thing about it is they have the same authority as the person who prayed for them…and the devil tests them to see if they know how to operate in it. If they don’t know how to fight for themselves, they may end up going down a dangerous path of bitterness towards God simply because they don’t know and/or understand how God works and the authority He gave us as believers. That’s why we have to learn it and believe it in our hearts regardless of our experience, because we cannot afford to bring the Bible down to our experience–it MUST be the other way around.

The way I look at it is this…(my opinion). I picture me and the devil head-to-head, and God standing over me cheering me on. God already gave me what I need to get the job done, and now it’s between me and the devil. So when I keep punching him, he’ll back down, and quicker every time I see breakthrough, because I’m not commanding the devil to get off by “the Jesus Paul preaches,” I’m commanding the devil to get off by the Jesus I know!

So…in terms of the girl’s leg growing out–she is 21 and looked like she was 12-years-old because she was so short. Her tail bone was too long and was extremely uncomfortable, and the doctors told her that she would never grow more (she was 4″9 to begin with) because her bones were fused together. She got made fun of her whole life because of how short she was. So, God healed her (her tail bone was normal, her legs were even, and she grew 4 inches taller), and the people were rejoicing because of how incredibly AWESOME God is and because the girl was set free from an affliction that, up until that point, had negatively affected her entire life.

It’s a good thing to be joyful, and it’s okay to laugh, to shout, to praise God with all your heart. I grew up in a strict church were there was no talking, laughing, praising God (unless the priest told a funny joke), but crying was really the only thing that people did, and even that was rare. We are connected to the creator of the world, and He made our emotions. So when He does amazing stuff, like healing a girl’s leg or creating a human being in the womb…it’s okay to get excited. Obviously we have to balance our emotions and reverence is needed, but don’t let a fear of getting emotional stop you from seeking more of God and His amazing love. It’s a relationship with Him, and getting intimate with Him allows us to access every emotion with him. It’s a wonderful freedom.

Again, my opinion–God doesn’t compare healings. He LOVES healing and doing miracles every time no matter what it is, so healing cancer is no better than healing a headache. Because He loves ALL of His children, God is so happy with meeting their need, no matter how big or small, because he doesn’t look at the severity like that. We might do that (even though we shouldn’t–we should look at things the way God does) because that’s how we judge most things–the more severe, the more important.

or maybe the more complex, the more important
