RUNNING TO THE DOCTORS FOR HELP

Actually, you can "name it and claim it."

However, there is sort of a catch.

When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures. -- James 1

When I was active duty, I learned I could ask my commander for anything he had authority to provide--if I could demonstrate to him that it would accomplish his mission more effectively.

The same thing works for Christians. If we are fully involved in executing our fraction of the Lord's mission when and how He has instructed us, we can ask for what we need in that endeavor, and the Lord will give us what we need to carry out the mission.

Let me ask you....your profile says you're a Christian.....what do you think God is saying from your knowledge of scripture? A lot of people have given you here what they think but what about you....and again from the scriptures.

"Luck?" Do Christians do "luck?"

Not sure.......I don't know what your definition of a Christian is. I was speaking to one who didn't believe in trusting God to heal......so closing with anything related to God seemed pointless.

How does this work with healing? Well God only heal for sure if we are going on a mission after?

And how does a Christian still believe in luck?

Us "word of faith" persons are strange that way. We should be mock and then ignored. Pay us no mind.

God didn't miraculously heal Paul or Timothy or Epaphroditus...so maybe not even then.

It depends on what He needs.

Jesus is about His mission. People want to ask, "What's God's plan for my life?"

God's plan for our lives always begins and ends with the mission of Christ and our fragment of His mission.

Sounds like prayers for healing is a bit of a guessing game for most......so for most it is best you put your trust in the doctor, as they will al ways be there and available to help without caring about what your plans are when you leave them.......as long as you have the money.

-I don't believe this, by the way. But it is the thought of many and I find no fault with it.

I my self will put my trust in GOD . I have stage 4 cancer now for 6 months and will Not be getting the cemo/radiation for 31 weeks at a cost of around $300,000 (estimation from hospital). That cost would be paid for by the VA .

Let us try this logic with other aspects of life.

Should we go to the store and buy groceries or rely on our savior to provide food?

I tried that , family went to shop instead and bought me food .

RaymondG said:
Why not? Are you afraid He will?

Because jumping from 10th floor and asking for angel to rescue you might not be "must" for God to act to save you , he might just let you reap what you sow .

personally, I don't run to the Dr for everything as believe God created our bodies with an amazing ability to heal

we eat blueberries and other antioxidants foods, cruciferous veggies, etc
deep breathe when get stressed such as when driving to help keep my BP nl

not on any meds; sometimes take baby aspirin

In times of a life threatening and possibly curable illnesses, injuries, and diseases, most all choose medical treatment (even the most religious). There are reasons for this.

No. It means don't do things that put Him in a situation where He MUST act. For instance, refusing medical treatment for a life threatening illness (e.g., a ruptured appendix)

Here's an interesting question...

For all the individuals in human history, whom chose prayer to treat a ruptured appendix, in lieu of medical treatment, how many have survived?

Then compare the results with the following Biblical verses Matthew 7:7, Matthew 21:22, Mark 11:24, John 14:13-14, John 16:23

aah sorry! I'm asking this because I run to the doctors all the time :\ I thought I was doing wrong

I believe in God healing but also in going to a Doctor. Consider a part of a wrong that you might even be doing is not getting a second opinion from another Doctor if one says something serious is going on. Also once a Doctor gives his diagnosis do some study yourself on all your options as in different treatments or medicines that have worked for others. Also if your doctor gives you a prescription make sure the Pharmacist has filled it right and didn't give you a wrong drug. I caught them on that one time.

It says Christian because I have accepted Jesus as my Saviour, however my knowledge is very limited compared to most on here. I prefer not to rely on my own knowledge lol

You, my friend, will get a plethora of conflicting answers on here, or anywhere really. But at the end of the day, it is you, and you alone, whom decides which answers 'appear' to make the most sense to you.

Very true! There is a voice inside me that puts me right . I haven't always listened but I'm all ears now! Praise God

there's going to the Dr because one needs to and then there's running to the Dr for every little thing which is often unnecessary

only you, harko, know what is the truth re yourself

The truth is I didn't know whether to put sickness with doctors or God. I know now that its both
