All About GOD - Growing Relationships with Jesus and Others
We Should Have Left With Him
A little levity - When the Supreme Court kicked God our of our schools, maybe we all should have got up and left with Him. We didn't and ever since we have been guilty of giving our children a godless education. Could that have anything to do with what we are seeing today?

In fact, now that I am thinking about it and jogging my memory, she died a few days before my son's third birthday and he was born in June. My son is 16 now. She was 42 when I met her and that means she would have been about 45 when she died and her youngest son was still living at home and she was homeschooling him ... he was not attending high school but not old enough to be finished with school. She was a good mother and a loving daughter. 3 of her doctors were pallbearers.

I ditto everything you've said here Roy. I want to add that if God wanted to heal everyone, why are the graveyards full of saints?

Well, Taminator, in my understanding there is not one saint in a graveyard anywhere. There old dead bodies are there but they are completely healed and with Christ in glory. It does appear that somewhere there will be a resurrection and all those dead bodies will one day rise again. How big is our God to know where all those remains are. Some have been cremated and the dust scatter to the wind. I wonder what's left of Paul's body or what about Abraham. Can you imagine Noah's body? I wonder what is left of it. That is going to take a really big God to figure all that out. Wow!

Tammy,
I do understand how some read Scripture and think all are to be physically healed here on earth. I have just seen too many Godly saints die while some that are not so Godly continue to live. We should not interpret Scripture from experience but we do have to take seriously that what we see play out. Probably the most Godly person I knew died of a tumor.
God does promise healing but I really do believe that the healing God promises is that healing that takes place within. That death blow that was dealt us through sin has been completely conquered. Death is a result of sin but life is a result of redemption. We were healed by those stripes that were laid upon our Savior's back.
The miracles that Jesus performed, the Apostles performed, and the miracles we still see today are all testimonies of the promise of healing we have been given. The promise of healing has been fulfilled.
It is right to ask God for physical healing. We are instructed to do so. We are given much instruction about prayer in Scripture. Yet, we should not be defeated when the prayer requests don't go the way we ask. Sometimes God is going to take one His own home to be with Him. When that happens, by faith we praise God. The final healing has been given.
