Praying for Healing

                                                                                                                                                              
                                                                                                                                                              
                                                                                                                                                              

Our good brother Tim in Australia has a life-threatening disease.  I ask everyone who reads here
to pray for his healing, and keep praying for his healing, every day.

Even more, I strongly urge everyone who reads here to read Tim's continuing series "To Live Is
Christ."  His meditations are at "Onesimus Files," the top blog in my recommended-link list, at
the upper right corner of this page.

I especially urge everyone to read his "To Live Is Christ (11). God's Clearly Stated Will." posted on
January 5th (https://onesimusfiles.wordpress.com/2020/01/05/to-live-is-christ-11-testimony-6/),
where he cites the many scriptures which must be our basis for faith that God heals, and that He
desires to heal.

As Tim so rightly sums up the question of healing, it all rests on "God's word and God's will."  That
indeed seems to me exactly how real faith approaches every question and circumstance.

Tim's determination, faced with a life-threatening disease, was to read everything scripture says
about healing...a response to life-circumstances that should be every Christian's immediate response,
but seldom is.  The verse that first struck him was Phillipians 1:21, "For me, to live is Christ..."  Faced
with the immediate and literal life-and-death question of every human's life, Tim began what he calls
"a new faith journey," Tim started, and continues in his excellent series of meditations, with that
scriptural affirmation.

Before anyone who reads here prays for healing...their own or someone else's...I recommend, insist,
they read, and ponder, and re-read, Tim's front-line view of life and death, in scripture and prayer.

AMEN !!
