ADJ,

But Jesus likes money so much. I’m sure that it makes healing happen faster. lol

PS… to Anthony B,

After checking out that link, I *really* think you should read on in this series.

I thought it was just going to be someone’s story about healing. It’s not. It’s an advertisement to buy a DVD, and to be honest, it’s hard for me not to take issue when people make money off of healing. At best, these teachers give people everywhere false hope, as if we control God’s will to heal this or that person, and at worst, if the healing never happens, it leaves those people spiritually destitute, feeling like it must be their fault that God didn’t heal them.

Again, please don’t leave off on this post, or you will have a very misguided view of what I was trying to establish with the series.

Anthony B,

Thanks for your reply. I will certainly look into your link there.

I think it would be good if you read the rest of the series I’ve put forward here, because I think you assume after reading this post alone that I have no faith in God or his ability to heal. This post is really only the jumping off point for the series and covers my life up until about 8 years ago.

First I would like to start with this web site,http://www.awmi.net/extra/healing/hannah .You see I became a christian 12years ago,even though I new I was born again,as I had what I would call an experience of God,I struggled with my new faith(having been brought up in the catholic church)I didnt seem to be able to live holy,i struggled with drugs drink and homosexualality,and did so for years,during this time I continued reading my bible and listing to bible teachers,to keep this short,i will miss out some of it ok,I had the chance to watch a bible teacher called Andrew Wommack,I then went to see him in London and saw Healings taken place,now I didnt know him so there was the same old possibilty that yet again it was a con man,as i through myself into his teaching,it took some time,but I started to see healing in my own life,from colds,infected bites,small things,I prayed for some friends for head ache,ear problems,shoulder pain and saw them healed. Wommack isnt God,you see I went to charis bible collage in walsall england for 3years,Wommack isnt a healer,he is a teacher,but the bible states that these signs follow those that believe,so he believes it to be true, God flows through faith,faith in what? That he can flow through us if we believe,noone heals but God,but faith in him gives him the chance to flow from the supernatural into the natural through someone in the natural.Just like Jesus had to become a man to pay the price for a man adam.cut to the chase,Hannah Terradez is the daughter of a friend of mine,Ashley and his wife Carlie,I was present at the meeting when it happened,I lived with them for a few months. After it happened,Ashly and His wife attended the college,and then their parents,his and her mum and dad attended the college,and are still there,I saw them last friday at the college. There is so much to say about this subject, but,and I know you dont know me, I have seen it with my eyes,now dont take my word for it,but take anyone else’s either,you find out,this is only one of the many testimoney’s I have seen,but to be honest I find it hard to type so this takes flipping ages,I wish i could talk to you all,Wommack’s web site has 100′s of hours teaching you can download for free. Please dont take this the wong way,what is being talked about here has one of two results,life or death,if God doesn’t heal,its death for us all,as it quite clearly states in the bible that he does,so if he doesn’t,he doesn,t exsist,but on the other hand if he does and we can see even just one case,he does all the time for all,its understanding how to receive. Please take a real look at this subject as I did and in fact are doing,john 10v10 says the theif comes to steal kill and destroy,but I(jesus)have come to give Life and give it abundantly.Most people n the world are not sick,in fact i think they are in the minority,it also says that this theif wanders around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. I belive these sickness are a result,in fact a manifestation of evil,just like in the book of Job,to get us to curse God to his face. Again please just look,with all your heart

Leg lengtheners, oh yeah. I think I remember seeing one of these, I’m not sure if it was my dad’s legs or someone else’s, I was pretty young. But yeah, imagine the disappointment the next day.

George:

As long as you’re not leaving us on account of me. You do bring out a lot of good comments here. I just find your brand of debate hits a nerve with me, but it’s nothing personal, and I hope that feeling is mutual.

I’m interested to see where this goes. I’ve felt for some time now that biblical accounts of healings were descriptive of how things were and not necessarily prescriptive of how things should be. Not that God can’t heal today or hasn’t in the past, but the constant “need” for getting fixed is a huge business that is more in our heads than anything else.

Sister Marie,

It’s great to hear from someone who has so much experience (in a good way!) with our fellowship.
