You might be right. Irritating as it was to see double, I was always confident that it would eventually clear up. Ever heard of Norman Vincent Peale? He was a Methodist minister who wrote a very popular book back in the 50s. "The Power of Positive Thinking" Maybe he was correct. You think a positive mental attitude could be a type of prayer?
Yes, it is one of the keys to true prayer. Without it, it doesnt matter what words come out of your mouth.
"Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them." "For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he..."
-Therefore, those who think God wont heal, are correct, and those who believe he will, are also correct. And therefore there is no reason to debate it... It will be unto everyone as they believe.
"The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,
3 And sent forth his servants to
call them that were bidden to the wedding:
and they would not come.
4 Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage.
5 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:
6 And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them.
7 But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.
8 Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.
9
Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.
10 S
o those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests."
I say the free gift of healing is available....but to those it is offered...will not take it. Therefore it is given to the ones who are just standing on the highways...
