Healing Powers of Communion

[canuckamuck]

Thanks everyone for the confirmation, nice to see that it is unanimous, I will try to talk to the pastor this week, but it is a busy week for me.

The assistant pastor you refer to is off base.

But I have another question for you.

you stated, " Jesus, through his sacrifice, has given us power over sickness". I'm curious to learn what scriptures cause you to believe this.

Isa 53:5 But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.

1Pe 2:24 who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness

Then Jesus answering said unto them,

Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard;

how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached.

Luke 7:22

Either Here

And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

Matthew 21:22

Or There

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

1 Thessalonians 4:14-18

God's Will Will Be Done

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

Jeremiah 29:11

And His Kingdom Is Surely Coming

And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.

And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.

Revelation 21:3-6

Even So, Come Quickly LORD Jesus, Come Quickly!

Maranatha!

Amen!

I find myself in strange waters here, because I disagree with you. I do not think that believing and answered prayer are the same as having power over something, or being given the power over something.

All my studies up to this point teach me that I have no power, nor was I given any power over anything.

Even if I was blessed by the Lord and was able to perform miracles for Him, it would still not be me who had the power. Maybe I should have worded my question differently.

[Fez]

I am finding this to be a bit of a confusing thread, perhaps I am missing something, but my two cents?...

Mar 11:22 And Jesus answered them, "Have faith in God.

Mar 11:23 Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be taken up and thrown into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him.

Mar 11:24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

So it's all about faith? Pray for a person and believe, in faith, as Jesus stated, that they will be healed through Him, and "it will be yours?"

I think it's all about faith, nothing else. The timing of the answer to the prayer, or the way Jesus will answer, is however another matter entirely. Sometimes we just don't see, or understand, how He answers the prayer.

[Smalcald]

Taking communion in an unworthy manner can make you sick so something real IS happening in this Sacrament.

However I see no direct scriptural evidence of physical healing directly flowing from communion.

But we have a different take on communion than pretty much everyone on this board so I will leave it at that.
