My mom has had allergies to cats as long as I can remember. And we also had cats as long as I can remember. She had to take meds in order to controll the allergies, but about 2 years ago she developed asthma. The doctor told her to remove the cats as much as possible from the areas that she spends the most time in. She also had to start using two different inhailers twice a day.
My moms relationship with God has changed alot since then, not as a result of the asthma, but because of the church that we go to. About a year ago she through the meds and inhailers away and has been totally set free. She also has since moved up from three cats to ten just recently.
Why would a soverein and loving God heal my mom of a simple thing like allergies, and not heal some one who is dieing of cancer who has supposably all this faith?
The truth is that is because my mom began to see God's reality through her relationship with Him rather then the reality of her allergies. And consiquently her faith graduated from mere human belief to the faith of God.
The true reason that God allows sickness in the world is so that we can find out just how much we need Him. To draw us closer to him. All the faith in the world is pointless if their is no move in the relationship toward God.
If you find some one with cancer or some other disease that they are looking for healing from. And this person seems to show great faith. Why don't you ask them where their relationship with God is, and if they have grown closer, more dependent on Him and His love as a result of their situation. I'm willing to almost bet that if they have seen no healing from their situation that its because they have not overcome the one hurtle in their relationship that has allowed sickness to comein in the first place. In other words, they have not grown any closer to Christ.
