the most successful healer in the history of the united states pointed out after decades of full and abundant life (not prosperity message - emphatically not) that at one with the GOOD NEWS of SALVATION is and always was HEALING.
(read through and through Scriptures, the lives of Jesus and His followers, and pay particular attention, Yhwh willing, to all of the healing that always, always, always accompanied them.)
this most successful healer (using simple natural means, and developed a simple effective way to test people to tell just what is out of place or missing) said, I think , that trying to preach or teach or show the Gospel of Jesus without Healing is often fruitless and it is powerless and possibly pointless.
for more examples from Scripture, while reading Scripture the next 3 years through and through and through as often as possible, watch and see and ask Yhwh, the Creator and the Author of Life, to open your understanding in all of this - and see what 'qualities' are always shown in the lives of the believers immersed in Y'shua.
i.e. what does God's Own Word say about them ? (all the time).
in contrast with what God's Word says about pretenders.
seek the Creator while He may be found.
He is the judge. He decides what happens to you , to us all, now in this life, and in the life to come.
so seek Him completely, to do as He says. turn everything over to Him, to learn from Him how to live, really really LIVE !
first last > ' a vital relationship with God' ---
before it can be lost, it has to be lived, found, obtained.
and very very few ever find it.
again, seek Him with all of your heart, for then HE PROMISES you will find Him. you cannot trick Him.
if you only give Him part of your life, He knows, and you won't have His Life.
"A vital relationship with God can be lost just as easily through neglect as it can through outright rejection. Marriage are lost the same way, through neglect and failure to keep a relationship alive. In our relationship to God, as in marriage and other relationships, it isn’t the great problems that tend to separate us but rather little irritants, the sand-in-shoe kind of thing, coupled with the neglect that tends to widen the chasm they create."
