As I have already stated, you are free to reduce abundance to a level you are comfortable with.
And you are free to read into Jesus' words and try to make him say something that he didn't.
It's not a very wise thing to do; but you do it if you wish.
Many Christians are comfortable too believing that God can heal them but it is up to his will. Those who are against divine healing as part of the abundant life are usually against financial prosperity as well.
I don't know of anyone who is against healing; I'm certainly not.
God healed me 10 years ago from M.E - despite some people from the W.O.F movement telling me that I would never be healed because I didn't have faith.
And if God chooses to bless you, or anyone else financially - fantastic. You/they have a responsibility then to use that wealth wisely and for the Kingdom. I'm not against that either.
What I AM against is anyone teaching that Christians have a RIGHT to physical healing and financial prosperity, plucking various Scriptures out of context to "prove" that and implying, or sometimes stating, that this prosperity proves a Christian's faith - and the lack of it means the Christian has no/little faith.
I am not saying, necessarily that you are saying this, but some on these forums have said it - especially years ago when there was no separate W.O.F forum. There were debates on healing in abundance then, not to mention acrimony and insults, which got many of the threads closed down.
