Iv struggled from childhood from mental health and learning difficulties i took very ill nerely 11yrs ago nusea pain and suffering nusea and vomting nerely 11yrs i keep begging the heavenly father to help me my heart is torn please father i beg of you please help me im at the point were i littrey cant cope anymore no help on earth and no help from above i fell so lost and alone my faith is realy being tested i still pray daily and sometimes ask why bother but im to afaird not to pray Lord Jesus please have mercy on my soul 😢😢🙏🙏🙏
@Moonbeam I am battling illness for 2 years now so my faith is being tested as well. I know how difficult and how demotivating that can be. There were times that I was certain that I would die and had it not been for the Lord I would have. Yet, through this all Christ has sustained me and carried me through. Do not lose hope, Christ is with you. Every time you pray He immediately goes to work to answer you!
Me personally I think god does play favorites. I really regret learning about god and Christ. I made god a promise after I deliver the promise im done with both of them.
Why are they both standing? Pastors Mohler and Chapell are obviously 'old' people. It is not easy to think and answer while standing. Please don't make it difficult for them.
Bryan chapell is 65 and Al Mohler is 60 and considering John MacArthur is 80 and stands at the pulpit every week I believe two morning services and an evening service .I think these two guys have quite a ways to go before they have to start sitting down for a short interview
Let me tell you something believing or praying don’t do nothing fasting and abstaining from meat heals we all need to be vegans just like Adam and Eve Were before they sin
Roman's 14:3 The man who eats everything must not look down on him who does not, and the man who does not eat everything must not condemn the man who does, for God has accepted him. And Jesus also taught that it's not what you put in your mouth that defiles a man, but it's what comes out of your mouth that defiles man. And then theres a vision of animals that were ceremonially unclean that God reveals to Peter he can eat and accept what has been made clean, to symbolize that Peter can embrace Cornelius, a gentile, because Christ has made him clean. Doesn't matter whether hes a gentile or jew, slave, free, female, or male because we are one in Christ.
priscilla valle : Paul was a killer he has no room to say anything maybe he wrote everything to justify himself, Jesus said that what goes in your mouth doesn’t defile you because he was talking about food not flesh of innocent animals ,Peter denied Jesus 3 times and Jesus called him the Devil , I’ve gotten visions real visions where Jesus told me to stop eating meat because they are not food they are friends neighbors and family
Dear lord I need your healing so much it says in the bible ask and you will receive lord I'm asking for total healing from this disease and infection restore my vision and strengthen my body let me live give me this chance I thank you in Jesus mighty name Amen 🙏
Keep strong ... hope your recovering my bro Jesus loves you... sometime it seems as tho he isn't there but he is ... 🙏 just pray... what happen to your eyes?
This…..this isn’t an explanation, all they do is muddy the theological waters and make excuses for God. If God needs a propaganda machine to keep him viable we are all in a lot of trouble.
The suffering James was referring to has ZERO to do with sickness. If he meant for us to endure suffering from sickness he wouldn't have mentioned the anointing oil and the prayer of faith in chapter 5. This is nonsense.
I DO believe faith can be important to receive Jesus' healing. But do I have faith that He CAN heal me or that He WILL heal me (people say things like: He has already healed you, but you just have to believe it, or something like that?)? The problem with the latter (He WILL heal me) is that if He chooses to not heal me at this current time, then my faith (and perhaps the faith of others witnessing) is shattered because I trusted that He would indeed heal me, but He did not...Any insight would be appreciated.
When Jesus healed the sick he demonstrated that he cares about ppl in the here and now not just when we die... He even commanded us to heal the sick... Jesus, the apostles, and the early church healed sick ppl of all sorts of illnesses and demonstrated that healing was a normal part of Christianity and wasn't done away with yet these two take scripture out of its context and say that God only paid for healing after we die not for right now... maybe the reason your not seeing healing is because you have no faith as how can you have faith if you believe you only get healed once you die if that be true then we should all end our lives so we can be healed since our leaders have no faith... there is a real question to be answered as to why ppl who clearly have faith pray for ppl to be healed yet very few are healed and the ones healed are often subjective healing where there is no clear evidence for it actually taking place side from what someone's claims... so my question is aside from ppl like these two with no faith why does God let his Word return void when he refuses to heal ppl when they are prayed for by faithfilled ppl?
You said these two men have "no faith". That is not true. They just have a different perspective on God and healing. They still pray in faith knowing that God can heal.
What I’ve learned from my mom’s dementia was that even though the brain has the disease and the physical body doesn’t work either , her spirit and her soul was still in there . And that’s inevitable what we all are . That’s the last thing to go , but it sure is a gut wrenching heart breaking journey with someone you love . But I always knew she was still in there , the best part of her , her beautiful soul.❤❤❤
Because the so called "healings" are either fakes or the placebo effect. People can feel less pain, but they can't regrow a limb - of course, the believers had to find a workaround for that, so they came up with "god's plan" and "mysterious ways" and other rubbish. If someone gets better hallelujah praise the lord! If they don;t, well, he works in Mysterious Ways!
In Mark 11:24 in the Original Greek, Jesus commands his disciples to believe that they already received and to continue to believing that they already received. It literally says, "I command you to keep believing that you already have it." In 2016, six specialists told my mother that she needed a pacemaker. She was so weak that she could only walk 20 feet in 10 minutes, and then had to sit down and rest. I shared Mark 11:24 with my mother. We prayed in the name of Jesus and then my mother praised God that she was already healed. The next day she walked a mile to go get her groceries, completely normal. She never did need a pacemaker. Just days before, she was so weak that she was hospitalized for 10 days. My neighbor was sent home to die because he was so low on the list for a kidney transplant. He was bedridden. We prayed the same way and he rose up completely normal the next day. He stood out in the front yard and stopped all the neighbors and told them what happened. I could go on and on for hours telling you about several neighbors and several relatives that received this way. God confirms His Word with signs (Mark 16:20), the problem is that too many are using vain repetitions which Jesus said were vain in Matthew 6:7. Also it is the prayer of FAITH that heals the sick in James 5:15, not just prayer. Faith is based on the Bible. Since 99% of Churches do NOT teach on healing, 99% of Churches cannot pray the prayer of Faith to receive healing.
Rene Remix don’t give up brother like they said Jesus may not do it in the earth life but we can be sure that the healing when it comes to sin and being born again can come as soon as we repent and the lord saves us when we repent but sometimes he may want us to wait a bit for our healing in order to bring glory to him it can come later on this life or when we are with him in heaven we will get to be made whole but perfectly you should look at Paul when he had a Thorn in his side he cried unto the lord to take it out and the lord said basically not yet because my Grace is all you need right know I myself have lupus and coeliac disease and still waiting on god’s timing for my healing which it will come later in this life or when he comes again or when he calls me home. All I can say is to. Persevere unto the end until god’s see it is time
Cosmin Bryant thank you brother I didn’t think straight I was upset and angry at myself but I’ll put my faith back into Jesus and I’ll let it be as his will 🥰
Rene Remix amen I was the same way back in 2014 when he started to open my heart up but with in time Jesus helped me more in my Faith and began to teach me the truth about healing and how it works
I’m praying for you for peace and calmness in your heart. That whatever anxiety, anger, and frustration you feel will be replaced with the joy, peace, and stillness that can only come from the Holy Spirit. The peace that surpasses all understanding. That while your physical eyes cannot see, the Lord Almighty will sharpen your spiritual vision, and you will come to know a sense of sight that others don’t have. That God will use your condition as a blessing to bring you closer to Him, and to bring others closer to Him. His will be done. I pray all of this in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ almighty name. Amen. Thank you for being vulnerable and honest bro. Let me know if you ever wanna talk. God bless ya.
Lord this man said you answer every pray if not on earth but in heaven which is comforting but could you leave me on earth and make me healthy to stay here for a lot more years I thank you in Jesus mighty name Amen 🙏
It's a lie. They say that to make it work instead of thinking maybe they ate doing something wrong. It is not Gods will that we be sick. Jesus healed all who were sick not just some. If hes the same today, tomoand forever then claim your healing. It was paid for at the cross. People need to stop begging for healing
I need prayers please. I'm severely crippled and paralyzed from a stroke that was massive. It was so large that the neurosurgeons had to cut out the right side of my skull and do a major brain surgery, a craniectomy to remove the skull from my head and ever since then I've developed atrophy, epilepsy and edema as a result of the stroke and now ever since I got the last Covid injection my nose has been running for almost 2 years now, and I've been praying to the Lord to heal me and he does not. I have given up all hope, and have lost my faith because God has forsaken me in my sufferings. I was in five different hospitals for five months fighting for my life. When they were sticking to central line down my throat, the doctors accidentally punctured my lung. I had blood clots in both lungs, both arms and both legs and a massive blood clot on my brain that caused the massive stroke. I was also in a coma for three weeks with a machine keeping me alive. And again because of the stroke, I developed edema, epilepsy and atrophy so the left side of my body is turning to skin and bones because of the atrophy. Different since I got that last booster injection my nose constantly runs all day every day my nose is flooded and the doctors can't figure out how to heal me. I've been praying to the Lord to give me relief and help me, and he does not load has forsaken me. I've lost all hope in faith in Jesus, and in God, and hope that I'll ever be healed. Could anyone that's reading my comment please pray for me for my healing, please?
Mark though its tough, remember this is a test of your faith, a new perfect body awaits IF you ENDURE in faith TIL THE END. Keep your eyes on the light, the hope. Keep the faith and faithfulness. I use" even though.....I am blessed, I am safe. Teach me your ways Almighty, teach me to be like your Son." Fast and take your scriptural medicine 3X a DAY!! FAST AND PRAY. FOLLOW His Word. DO it. LIVE IT.
God’s ways are different from our ways... Our human brain can’t fathom the depth of His thoughts and plans. But, there’s something that he assures His believers, that is ‘when the Holy spirit is within you, even in the midst of sickness or pain, you will still find comfort in him.’ Which means healing isn’t always what God gives us. A Godly man isn’t afraid of dying. In fact he isn’t afraid of anything. A sinful man is scared of death. A wealthy man is scared of death. Being afraid of dying is a sign of being unfaithful to God’s promises. Our attachments with the worldly pleasures only make us skeptical about dying. That is the only reason we blame God for not healing every single person from dying of a sickness or people dying at war, or for innocent lives lost. God wants to see us live a happy life, but He even wants us more to be ready, for he already warned us about this...!!
Wow, the unbelief is strong in these two. 1 Peter 2:24 - Jesus not only took our sins in His own body but our sicknesses too. So why do we experience sickness and disease? Because there is a devil arrayed against us BUT Jesus has legally delivered us from sin and sickness so SOLUTION: Tell the devil and sickness what the Word says and stand your ground and that devil and sickness MUST flee. Anyway the unbelief of these two is astounding. Woe to those who pay them heed.
If that's caused by inflammation... then he would need to incorporate the appropriate diet and lifestyle. Vagus nerve therapy as well. Free suggestion on YT.
Thank you I understand that God hear our prayers and also that he knows the best plan for us . We may not see it in Gods view but we know he was the best answer to glorify himself much more greatly then we think
I appreciate both of your testimonies. I wish you gentlemen would provide much more scriptural references. The Body of Christ is hurting and looking for answers for themselves as well as unsaved loved ones and friends who have big questions, that frankly are glossed over with maybe a verse which may or may not mean what it sounds like. Much more is needed. Please consider this in prayer.
@@J33319 God already provided healing for you. Jesus paid the price almost 2,000 years ago. We receive healing the same way we receive salvation: by faith in God's Word.
I love the man on the rights attitude this is a question that everyone asks at some time. I also believe that we will get healed if not in this life in the next. However I personally still don’t understand the reasons behind suffering, I do know that suffering has taught me patience and compassion that I would not have otherwise had.
I have a question: No death, no decay, no suffering. Governed only by these rules, the Children play with the very tools of creation, expressing themselves by effortlessly shaping the very world around them and also their own bodies with just their thoughts. Like this, they exist together for all eternity, in an infinite space, playing, showing off, telling stories and experiencing adventures, all of their own design. Meanwhile, the Father watches over them, just enjoying the sight of them having a great time and sometimes even joining in on the action to bond with them and well… to just have fun. If there is an omnipotent, omnibenevolent God, why is this not the world, we live in today?
The problem is not God the problem are humans God made us in his image he made us perfect we make the wrong decisions when he put Adam and Eve he gave them their eating plan it was based on a vegan diet but they started killing animals until they started eating them and that’s when we started dying and I could go on and on but I’m just answering your question have nice day
@@allahhernandez3546 Oh? Disregarding the fact, that we are talking about two different starting points with you leaving the first 3 chapters of Genesis standing and me wiping the slate as clean as imagination can, so just leaving an empty, lawless void in the third dimension and then introducing a God, who wishes to create a world full of beings with free will, who he could love, I don't think your argument holds up. After all, it still was God, who manages the conditions for life and death, is it not? Your point in no way contradicts the universe, I propose. One could still choose to eat meat and nothing would change, since you could just create and then consume whatever animal you fancy. Not to mention, there are some... curious people out there, who love to imagine themselves being consumed over and over again. In a world, where death is impossible and you only suffer as much as you want, both parties in this odd relationship would be satisfied. It would sure be a weird scene for everyone else, but, if you don't want to see gross things happening, you won't perceive such things. So, even if we were to start out from the point at which Adam and Eve have already killed and eaten animals, the world could still have remained without involuntary suffering. Also, there is no point of no return. It would be entirely reasonable, if God was to just change the world into one without death, decay and involuntary suffering in the next split second, although I'd question why he'd only done it then and not earlier, since there was nothing preventing him from doing so. Saying otherwise is underestimating omnipotence.
Remor well you got a point there ,but I would love to live forever ,I don’t know my time but till that time comes I’m going to do everything that is in my power to heal my body ,did you know that God try to wipe everything out but somehow it didn’t work we are still sinning ,he came down to show us how to live and we killed him but the only difference is that he didn’t die for us he died because of us he wanted to save all the past lives that’s why he said my king is not of this world that’s why I’m here to finish his work or my work
@@remor698 Great question. It's a question that theologians have been wrestling with for thousands of years. I'm no expert, but I would answer that it depends on what kind of perspective you view life on earth. If you were viewing life from an anthropocentric lens (i.e. the happiness of humans comes first) then yes, it would be very questionable and maybe even malicious for God to let us suffer like this. However, as most Christians believe, and as the two dudes in this video referenced, humans don't come first. God comes first. Specifically, God's glory comes first. This means that *if* something happens that causes human suffering, but ultimately will increase God's glory (such as in John chapter 9, with the man being born blind so that Jesus could heal him and bring others to faith, referenced @3:30) then it's completely up to God's prerogative whether he heals the suffering or not. Is it a cruel answer? Again, from a human perspective, yes, possibly. But if an omnipotent, omniscient God actually did exist, don't you think his eternal perspective would outweigh a human perspective? -- I'll add one more thing to think about, this time a little bit more optimistic. Another thing that Christians believe in (also referenced in the video) is life after death. An afterlife in heaven, with no death, no suffering, and all the great things you mentioned in your original post. We believe that utopia isn't just an imagination - but an upcoming reality for all those who have faith in God. And it's free. You don't have to work hard for it. You don't have to prove yourself. You don't have to pay for any of the wrongs you've done. God already took care of that. Would you rather take your chances on that, or would you rather believe that your life, death, legacy, and suffering is completely meaningless in a completely naturalistic, random universe?
healing also comes to those with great worldly resources.......being healed on this earth is not the same as being healed in spirit.......we all gonna die so there is no true healing until we leave this realm......it rains on the just and the unjust......
When I'm in so much pain It makes me sad and scared that I might not be healed from this painful physical ailment in this life. Is this feeling a feeling of unbelief? Am I sinning for thinking this way? I feel that I'm selfish to ask for full healing when other Holy Spirit filled Christians are sick.😢
I sincerely believe it is Gods will to heal all, including you . Feeling guilty for asking for all of God's goodness does not make you humble but ignorant because it is your right as a son or daughter Those hurting now will be okay in their own time. Let them use their mouths wisely in line with God's word. Never doubt. Never feel guilty for asking. The word says ASK SEEK KNOCK (Matthew 7:7) If he is God then he meant it. For more help seek Kenneth Hagin's books. There are many that can answer your questions. Stay blessed
What is the Gospel Coalition's target audience? Not that I disagree with any videos TGC has released, but the manner in which most of the speakers talk seems only directed at believers.
Brandon Inman - Yes they are trying to help believers with challenging questions about life. This can be helpful as they attempt to share truths with others.
"Our desire is to serve the church we love by inviting all our brothers and sisters to join us in an effort to renew the contemporary church in the ancient gospel of Christ so that we truly speak and live for him in a way that clearly communicates to our age." www.thegospelcoalition.org/about/foundation-documents/
God always answers prayers for healing, but not necessarily in the timing people expect. - James 5 highlights the importance of patience in suffering. - The belief is that ultimate healing for Christians occurs in the afterlife, where there will be no more pain, tears, or disease. - The theological perspective is that God's glory is demonstrated through both healing and through enduring suffering with faith, with examples from personal experiences provided.
Because God has an eternal viewpoint, plan and purpose for each of us, which differs from our limited earthly viewpoint. Job was healed, Paul's thorn in flesh was not removed? Why? God is sovereign in everything, and sees past, present and future. Jesus Christ, while here on earth, healed EVERYONE, who came to Him, in humble repentance. NOBODY was ever turned away, who accepted Him. Amen
Caliban yea man, I’m a Christian but I never understand those answers seems like people can’t answer them, I might have to find them for myself literally they never answer the question but beat around the bush and try to answer it in their own way
@@vilicus77 according to the other comments you left on this channel, it seems like you do not want to find real answers but instead to tell everyone you don’t believe in God.
@@whytho7475 The actual answer it that there is no God--I'm just vocalizing it and religious people don't like it--not my problem. Don't be so sensitive.
"if there is healing, GOD gets glory. But if GOD does not answer prayers for healing, but instead He sees our faith through a time of no earthly rescue, that gives God glory too! Sometimes GOD will call his children to be patient via suffering, which is evidence that we are not serving GOD for material reasons e.g. physical healing"
@@vilicus77 . I agree, it amazes me that, what appear to be intelligent people, even bother to discuss the subject since it has never been shown to have the slightest effect.

Listen to my video for healing hopefully this will help you understand
In Mark 11:24 in the Original Greek, Jesus commands his disciples to believe that they already received and to continue to believing that they already received. It literally says, "I command you to keep believing that you already have it."
In 2016, six specialists told my mother that she needed a pacemaker. She was so weak that she could only walk 20 feet in 10 minutes, and then had to sit down and rest. I shared Mark 11:24 with my mother. We prayed in the name of Jesus and then my mother praised God that she was already healed. The next day she walked a mile to go get her groceries, completely normal. She never did need a pacemaker. Just days before, she was so weak that she was hospitalized for 10 days.
My neighbor was sent home to die because he was so low on the list for a kidney transplant. He was bedridden. We prayed the same way and he rose up completely normal the next day. He stood out in the front yard and stopped all the neighbors and told them what happened. I could go on and on for hours telling you about several neighbors and several relatives that received this way. God confirms His Word with signs (Mark 16:20), the problem is that too many are using vain repetitions which Jesus said were vain in Matthew 6:7.
Also it is the prayer of FAITH that heals the sick in James 5:15, not just prayer. Faith is based on the Bible. Since 99% of Churches do NOT teach on healing, 99% of Churches cannot pray the prayer of Faith to receive healing.
The only solution to this world full of pain is to not procreate!
I’ve lost all faith I have no hope left I’ve been praying since I was 7 now I’m 14 and I’m still blind I want to die
Rene Remix don’t give up brother like they said Jesus may not do it in the earth life but we can be sure that the healing when it comes to sin and being born again can come as soon as we repent and the lord saves us when we repent but sometimes he may want us to wait a bit for our healing in order to bring glory to him it can come later on this life or when we are with him in heaven we will get to be made whole but perfectly you should look at Paul when he had a Thorn in his side he cried unto the lord to take it out and the lord said basically not yet because my Grace is all you need right know I myself have lupus and coeliac disease and still waiting on god’s timing for my healing which it will come later in this life or when he comes again or when he calls me home. All I can say is to. Persevere unto the end until god’s see it is time
Cosmin Bryant thank you brother I didn’t think straight I was upset and angry at myself but I’ll put my faith back into Jesus and I’ll let it be as his will 🥰
Rene Remix amen I was the same way back in 2014 when he started to open my heart up but with in time Jesus helped me more in my Faith and began to teach me the truth about healing and how it works
Cosmin Bryant I believe that one day god will show me his power just like he showed you. God bless you bro
I’m praying for you for peace and calmness in your heart. That whatever anxiety, anger, and frustration you feel will be replaced with the joy, peace, and stillness that can only come from the Holy Spirit. The peace that surpasses all understanding. That while your physical eyes cannot see, the Lord Almighty will sharpen your spiritual vision, and you will come to know a sense of sight that others don’t have. That God will use your condition as a blessing to bring you closer to Him, and to bring others closer to Him. His will be done. I pray all of this in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ almighty name. Amen. Thank you for being vulnerable and honest bro. Let me know if you ever wanna talk. God bless ya.
So god is not that powerful? I used to have lots of questions about the Bible but I realize if god is just not that powerful. It makes sense.
Love this👍😊 Please more of these Q & A by both these great men🙏🏼🙌🏼
Lord this man said you answer every pray if not on earth but in heaven which is comforting but could you leave me on earth and make me healthy to stay here for a lot more years I thank you in Jesus mighty name Amen 🙏
Basically, God heals by letting the sick die. Dead = Healed. 🤪
It's a lie. They say that to make it work instead of thinking maybe they ate doing something wrong. It is not Gods will that we be sick. Jesus healed all who were sick not just some. If hes the same today, tomoand forever then claim your healing. It was paid for at the cross. People need to stop begging for healing
Watch andrew wommack. I have ovarian cancer. I'm not giving up.. you shouldnt either
Caillou.. I hope for your sake you never become sick
@AmericanMan 1967 say what?
@AmericanMan 1967 watch the healing series of andrew wommack. The way he explains it totally makes sense.
It is because of unbelief
This is hard . As this has been my reality for all too long . This is so very very personal 😒
And in the sense of Acute yes
Thought of you and prayed for you when I uploaded this. 🙏

Watching this again ☺
Possibly the best videos produced by this channel . One of the better ones though for sure ! This is good 😉
These 2 men are grabbing at straws. None knows why GOD does things - don’t make up stories.
I need prayers please.
I'm severely crippled and paralyzed from a stroke that was massive. It was so large that the neurosurgeons had to cut out the right side of my skull and do a major brain surgery, a craniectomy to remove the skull from my head and ever since then I've developed atrophy, epilepsy and edema as a result of the stroke and now ever since I got the last Covid injection my nose has been running for almost 2 years now, and I've been praying to the Lord to heal me and he does not. I have given up all hope, and have lost my faith because God has forsaken me in my sufferings. I was in five different hospitals for five months fighting for my life. When they were sticking to central line down my throat, the doctors accidentally punctured my lung. I had blood clots in both lungs, both arms and both legs and a massive blood clot on my brain that caused the massive stroke. I was also in a coma for three weeks with a machine keeping me alive. And again because of the stroke, I developed edema, epilepsy and atrophy so the left side of my body is turning to skin and bones because of the atrophy. Different since I got that last booster injection my nose constantly runs all day every day my nose is flooded and the doctors can't figure out how to heal me. I've been praying to the Lord to give me relief and help me, and he does not load has forsaken me. I've lost all hope in faith in Jesus, and in God, and hope that I'll ever be healed. Could anyone that's reading my comment please pray for me for my healing, please?
God bless you, Mark, I’ll say I prayer for you my friend.
Try keeping your faith intact 😊
I'm so sorry, Mark. I am praying for you.

God’s ways are different from our ways... Our human brain can’t fathom the depth of His thoughts and plans. But, there’s something that he assures His believers, that is ‘when the Holy spirit is within you, even in the midst of sickness or pain, you will still find comfort in him.’ Which means healing isn’t always what God gives us.
A Godly man isn’t afraid of dying. In fact he isn’t afraid of anything.
A sinful man is scared of death. A wealthy man is scared of death.
Being afraid of dying is a sign of being unfaithful to God’s promises.
Our attachments with the worldly pleasures only make us skeptical about dying. That is the only reason we blame God for not healing every single person from dying of a sickness or people dying at war, or for innocent lives lost. God wants to see us live a happy life, but He even wants us more to be ready, for he already warned us about this...!!
Wow, the unbelief is strong in these two. 1 Peter 2:24 - Jesus not only took our sins in His own body but our sicknesses too. So why do we experience sickness and disease? Because there is a devil arrayed against us BUT Jesus has legally delivered us from sin and sickness so SOLUTION: Tell the devil and sickness what the Word says and stand your ground and that devil and sickness MUST flee. Anyway the unbelief of these two is astounding. Woe to those who pay them heed.
I am asking for prayers for a close cousin of mine, Christopher, who is suffering daily pain from trigeminal neuralgia.
If that's caused by inflammation... then he would need to incorporate the appropriate diet and lifestyle.
Vagus nerve therapy as well. Free suggestion on YT.
GOD PROVIDED DOCTORS FOR US SO USE THEM . LET GOD SEE WHAT WISDOM AND CHARACTER YOU HAVE DEVELOPED AND STOP SITTING AROUND WAITING.
Why do Americans always say Altimers disease?
Do your part. Eat right, get sleep,evercise. Pray . Always
Good answer, and nice production too love the lighting!
Thank you I understand that God hear our prayers and also that he knows the best plan for us . We may not see it in Gods view but we know he was the best answer to glorify himself much more greatly then we think
Tell that to the poor bastard that doesn't get healed and is stuck in the shitter for there entire life.
Thank you 🙏🏾
I appreciate both of your testimonies. I wish you gentlemen would provide much more scriptural references. The Body of Christ is hurting and looking for answers for themselves as well as unsaved loved ones and friends who have big questions, that frankly are glossed over with maybe a verse which may or may not mean what it sounds like. Much more is needed. Please consider this in prayer.
Jesus has already done all He is going to do about our healing. It's up to us to receive.
No it's up to your God to heal
@@J33319 God already provided healing for you. Jesus paid the price almost 2,000 years ago. We receive healing the same way we receive salvation: by faith in God's Word.
@@J33319 people that think like that almost never get healed.
Stop following those name it and claim it false teachers.

"Have more faith in the healer over the healing" -vlad savchuk
I love the man on the rights attitude this is a question that everyone asks at some time. I also believe that we will get healed if not in this life in the next.
However I personally still don’t understand the reasons behind suffering, I do know that suffering has taught me patience and compassion that I would not have otherwise had.
Because we live in a fallen broken world.
It benefited your spiritual maturity
Hope God can answer my prayer
Hallelujah ❤️
God will heal always in heaven but not always on earth?
Spiritual answer is what you seek. Only Abba has that for you. Fast and pray, obey His commandments
False
I have a question:
No death, no decay, no suffering. Governed only by these rules, the Children play with the very tools of creation, expressing themselves by effortlessly shaping the very world around them and also their own bodies with just their thoughts. Like this, they exist together for all eternity, in an infinite space, playing, showing off, telling stories and experiencing adventures, all of their own design. Meanwhile, the Father watches over them, just enjoying the sight of them having a great time and sometimes even joining in on the action to bond with them and well… to just have fun.
If there is an omnipotent, omnibenevolent God, why is this not the world, we live in today?
The problem is not God the problem are humans God made us in his image he made us perfect we make the wrong decisions when he put Adam and Eve he gave them their eating plan it was based on a vegan diet but they started killing animals until they started eating them and that’s when we started dying and I could go on and on but I’m just answering your question have nice day
@@allahhernandez3546 Oh? Disregarding the fact, that we are talking about two different starting points with you leaving the first 3 chapters of Genesis standing and me wiping the slate as clean as imagination can, so just leaving an empty, lawless void in the third dimension and then introducing a God, who wishes to create a world full of beings with free will, who he could love, I don't think your argument holds up. After all, it still was God, who manages the conditions for life and death, is it not?
Your point in no way contradicts the universe, I propose. One could still choose to eat meat and nothing would change, since you could just create and then consume whatever animal you fancy. Not to mention, there are some... curious people out there, who love to imagine themselves being consumed over and over again. In a world, where death is impossible and you only suffer as much as you want, both parties in this odd relationship would be satisfied. It would sure be a weird scene for everyone else, but, if you don't want to see gross things happening, you won't perceive such things.
So, even if we were to start out from the point at which Adam and Eve have already killed and eaten animals, the world could still have remained without involuntary suffering.
Also, there is no point of no return. It would be entirely reasonable, if God was to just change the world into one without death, decay and involuntary suffering in the next split second, although I'd question why he'd only done it then and not earlier, since there was nothing preventing him from doing so. Saying otherwise is underestimating omnipotence.
Remor well you got a point there ,but I would love to live forever ,I don’t know my time but till that time comes I’m going to do everything that is in my power to heal my body ,did you know that God try to wipe everything out but somehow it didn’t work we are still sinning ,he came down to show us how to live and we killed him but the only difference is that he didn’t die for us he died because of us he wanted to save all the past lives that’s why he said my king is not of this world that’s why I’m here to finish his work or my work
@@remor698 Great question. It's a question that theologians have been wrestling with for thousands of years. I'm no expert, but I would answer that it depends on what kind of perspective you view life on earth.
If you were viewing life from an anthropocentric lens (i.e. the happiness of humans comes first) then yes, it would be very questionable and maybe even malicious for God to let us suffer like this.
However, as most Christians believe, and as the two dudes in this video referenced, humans don't come first. God comes first. Specifically, God's glory comes first. This means that *if* something happens that causes human suffering, but ultimately will increase God's glory (such as in John chapter 9, with the man being born blind so that Jesus could heal him and bring others to faith, referenced @3:30) then it's completely up to God's prerogative whether he heals the suffering or not.
Is it a cruel answer? Again, from a human perspective, yes, possibly. But if an omnipotent, omniscient God actually did exist, don't you think his eternal perspective would outweigh a human perspective?
--
I'll add one more thing to think about, this time a little bit more optimistic. Another thing that Christians believe in (also referenced in the video) is life after death. An afterlife in heaven, with no death, no suffering, and all the great things you mentioned in your original post. We believe that utopia isn't just an imagination - but an upcoming reality for all those who have faith in God. And it's free. You don't have to work hard for it. You don't have to prove yourself. You don't have to pay for any of the wrongs you've done. God already took care of that.
Would you rather take your chances on that, or would you rather believe that your life, death, legacy, and suffering is completely meaningless in a completely naturalistic, random universe?
It's coz of our free will...... we've fucked up the world.
I just found the answer to my question thank you so much God is working🙏🏼✝️❤️
God hear us. He's not limited.
healing also comes to those with great worldly resources.......being healed on this earth is not the same as being healed in spirit.......we all gonna die so there is no true healing until we leave this realm......it rains on the just and the unjust......
Christanity must needs to know exactly what is the message that Jesus preached. Otherwise everything is in chaos.
So healing in this world isn't necessarily guaranteed... it may or may not happen!
How did God react when you told him his son didn't take our infirmaties to the cross and by his stripes we weren't healed?
Why was it not made basic, and clear on our understanding?
When I'm in so much pain It makes me sad and scared that I might not be healed from this painful physical ailment in this life. Is this feeling a feeling of unbelief? Am I sinning for thinking this way? I feel that I'm selfish to ask for full healing when other Holy Spirit filled Christians are sick.😢
I sincerely believe it is Gods will to heal all, including you . Feeling guilty for asking for all of God's goodness does not make you humble but ignorant because it is your right as a son or daughter Those hurting now will be okay in their own time. Let them use their mouths wisely in line with God's word.
Never doubt. Never feel guilty for asking. The word says ASK SEEK KNOCK (Matthew 7:7) If he is God then he meant it.
For more help seek Kenneth Hagin's books. There are many that can answer your questions.
Stay blessed
Because their life is complete and Heaven is better than earth.
Ever think that it was god that makes people sick in the first place? Why give god all the credit and none of the blame?
Your logic is flawed
Ok so healing will come... but it may not be in this life/world. Why not just start by saying that?
What is the Gospel Coalition's target audience? Not that I disagree with any videos TGC has released, but the manner in which most of the speakers talk seems only directed at believers.
Brandon Inman - Yes they are trying to help believers with challenging questions about life. This can be helpful as they attempt to share truths with others.

God always answers prayers for healing, but not necessarily in the timing people expect.
- James 5 highlights the importance of patience in suffering.
- The belief is that ultimate healing for Christians occurs in the afterlife, where there will be no more pain, tears, or disease.
- The theological perspective is that God's glory is demonstrated through both healing and through enduring suffering with faith, with examples from personal experiences provided.

I was angry when I first started watching, but now I'm not. I'll keep going, although it's not always easy.
Because God has an eternal viewpoint, plan and purpose for each of us, which differs from our limited earthly viewpoint.
Job was healed, Paul's thorn in flesh was not removed? Why?
God is sovereign in everything, and sees past, present and future.
Jesus Christ, while here on earth, healed EVERYONE, who came to Him, in humble repentance. NOBODY was ever turned away, who accepted Him. Amen

@@vilicus77 according to the other comments you left on this channel, it seems like you do not want to find real answers but instead to tell everyone you don’t believe in God.
@@whytho7475 The actual answer it that there is no God--I'm just vocalizing it and religious people don't like it--not my problem. Don't be so sensitive.
🙏🙏🙏
"if there is healing, GOD gets glory. But if GOD does not answer prayers for healing, but instead He sees our faith through a time of no earthly rescue, that gives God glory too! Sometimes GOD will call his children to be patient via suffering, which is evidence that we are not serving GOD for material reasons e.g. physical healing"
