God's Healing

When one thinks of God healing people of disease, its easy to think of all the people who die of cancer, heart disease, and the other big maladies, then wonder where was God then?

God can and certainly does heal people of the big ones, but to fully appreciate God's healing touch, just think of all the times you've succumbed to the flu, or food poisoning, or the common cold. Perhaps it was a tooth abscess, a sprained ankle, or a broken limb.

God has healed you numerous times. Just take a moment and think about it.

Why do some people not get healed and eventually die? I wouldn't even begin to try and guess God's will in that regard.

But all I know is what the Bible says...........all things work together for good for those who love God.

What God Offers

 ²And a certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple;

 ³Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms.

 ⁴And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us.

 ⁵And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them.

 ⁶Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.

 ⁷And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. (Acts 3:2-7, King James Version)

The lame beggar was thinking in worldly terms when he asked of money from Peter and John.

But Peter and John were filled with the holy spirit and thought in spiritual terms.

If he had received the world's offerings he would have been empty again.

But, upon receiving what God offers he was made whole.

God wants to heal us. Whether it be physically or spiritually.
