Of course, this depends a lot on how you define a "Christian" in the first place.

God's protection is always on a christian. Now 1. how you definate protection matters and 2. you can refuse it

In both cases the protection of the 2nd kind has been lifted. [delivered over to the adversary]
In both cases there is a reason: to be taught not to lie, and to save the spirit.
In especially in the second case, we see that the greater protection [to save the spirit] has not been lifted.
Sometimes it is all depends on where you put your focus.
John 15:
1I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. 2Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. 3Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. 4Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. 5I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. 6If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. 7If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. 8Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.

[quote][So this is how I came to this paraphrase of Rom 10:17:
"Belief comes by being spiritually aware of truth, and being spiritually aware of truth is achieved by a spoken word of Christ"
I expand "hearing" to "spiritually aware of truth" because the passage is saying it is not sense knowledge "hearing" with the ears that causes one to believe. ]

I agree with that just add 7. Because God doesn't want them to be healed yet.
If your friend wants to stay in that chair, so be it. But thats not me, when some kind of pain, sickness, whatever comes on me, ITS FIGHT TIME!
Because I fight the good fight of faith. I'm not going to live there in defeat!Screw all that junk, I have faith, and that faith has made a difference in my life, and has radiated in the lives around me.
