God is in control of everything, even Satan. St. Paul had a thorn in the flesh but God did not remove it even after Paul begged for healing. If we accept that God does not always heal or at least not right away then we will not feel worse by thinking its something to do with our faith, or behaviour, etc. But notice in the story, God does give the grace to go thru it....as He told Paul "my grace is sufficient for you." 2 Cor 12:9
@stuword323 I'm not sure if 'control' would be the right word. It sounds as if God also 'controls' who he wants to tempt and make someone fall through Satan, you know what I mean?
But yes, God is in control of His plans and it will never fail.
@SoldierOfChrist110 what makes you think Paul was using a figure of speech? there is nothing in the passage that suggests it to me. also, where else in the NT do you see sickness being used as a metaphor for persecution? Paul often spoke of numerous difficulties he went through like hunger, sleeplessness, dangers from false teachers et cetera. Paul states the reason for the physical issue is to keep him form exalting himself 2Cor 12:7
@stanjz But Paul's thorn in the flesh wasn't sickness. This is a deep debate but if you want me to prove it I can send it to you in email. I have come across many people who said healing has worked for them when healing cancer. It's just many Christians don't have true faith and they don't know how to do it properly.
hey man ...i believe that GOD CAN and Will heal you !! :) its good to see you having so much faith , and if GOD doesnt heal you then it is just partt of gods amazing plan that he has for you :) AMEN
No one prays for the everyday person. Most of the time they are just pushed to a side. Take a look one day at the nursing homes, and the people with a chronic illness . Some of them cant even afford their medication. So pray for this man, I am glad he was helped. there are many who are not, yet they go on every day sometimes in pain for years on end. sorry, I dont like his grand standing, I wonder if he was not getting paid what he would be doing?
We live under a new covenant where sin has been nailed to the cross, there is no more punishment,God didn't give him cancer or allow it. You can't have God handing sickness out then having Jesus pray against it. A house divided can't stand, he gave us the power and authority to destroy the works of the devil and cancer is a work from Satan
@17MrScottie We are still a fallen creation but we trust God to be delivered. We are still burdened with the curse of sin but God gives us the strength to over come it. Trials and hardship will still come we aren't spared from the problems of this world.
@Tomsedated he was just saying that he believes that God will heal him, that he will grow old, and one day he will be an old baptist preacher. it wasn't really a joke.
@hmala Pastor Matt has said that he doesn't believe that God gave him cancer, but that he definitely wasn't surprised when he was diagnosed & he did nothing to stop it.
@hmala God does not give cancer. He lets it happen... It's obviously a trial to see how faithful Chandler is to God. Does Chandler only love God for all the good He gives in his life? Or does Chandler love God unconditionally. This video proves it all.
