God Thinking XI - Tough Truths 9

"Trust God when you are healed.

And trust God when sickness prevails.
Sickness is temporal, but trust is eternal.

I admire those who have faith to receive healing.  I am one.

I also admire those who have not received their healing and trust’s God in their current circumstances.

I have friends that say, “never say your sick.”  I find nothing in scripture to support denying the reality of our physical condition.  After all there could be no healing if there were no sickness.  You need to trust the Father when you are sick.

Sickness is part of the fall.  God thinking admits that God has not divulged His All-ness to us, as some proclaim.

The formula for healing or receiving from God is trust in God.  You place yourself in God’s hands, and with faith you patiently await His touch.

Never do you command God to do anything.  That is not faith.

Faith wrestles not with God, demanding a predictable outcome of choice. If it were so, you could make commands, some good, some not so good. You could heal or pray against healing as it pleases you and we could all become god’s like Zeus, Neptune or Apollo."
