Hi Redsteel....it can be easy to read or listen to other peoples testimonies and feel 'left out' but you need to know that God deals differently with different people. I am not at all saying that God did not heal this girl, but what i AM saying is that you also need to know that sometimes what people say and what really happened can be 2 different things. Perhaps her problem resolved with medication, or perhaps on its own? And perhaps God really DID  heal her. Does that mean He has left you out in any way? Not at all. Remember only God sees the entire picture and you don't know what is still ahead for you.

For example there are those who before being born again were drug addicts. Some talk about How the Lord delivered them instantly from their addiction while others have had to fight through temptation and live with that temptation. Does God have favourites? No.  But dont put TOO much stock into what He is doing for others as though He cannot do the same for you.

 

Remember He loves you so much that He saved you, He has a plan for you.

Dear sister Christs Princess,

 

Grace and mercy and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

I totally agree with you, Christs Princess and I take the opportunity to add:

Meditate on Psalm 37 and you will see that in the end the real profit of the wicked goes to the righteous. He is to enjoy the riches gathered by the wicked (Ecl 2:26) to win friends (Luke 16:9), to gather up treasures in heaven (Matt 6:19-21) and thus to be rich toward the Eternal (Luke 12:21).

Now do you understand the reason why, when we serve the Eternal, the struggles increase (see 1 Peter 4:12-19)? Such a correction seeks to enable us to do something better and to grant us real peace (see Isa. 38:17), namely, to free us from the haste of running to the evil that binds us (Proverbs 16: 25-27, Isa 59:7,8). Therefore, the worst thing that can happen is that the Eternal gives us over to the desires of our heart (Psalms 81.12, Is 5: 1, 23-28): all we get only will bring us harm and take away our sleep (Ephesians 5:12,13).

Do not be indignant, therefore, that success in this world is destined for the wicked (Ps 37.1,7; Ecl 2:26). Only the blessing of the Eternal is perfect and enriches without bringing pain (Proverbs 10:22, Jas 1:16, 17). And they are waiting for us (1Cor 2,9,12, Eph 1.3, 2Pet 1.3), specially reserved for those who love the Eternal (1Cor 2:9-12). They go beyond all that is in this world (1Cor 15:19), of what we can ask or think (1Cor 2: 2, 12, Eph 3: 19-20). It is enough to let His power work in us (Phil. 4:19) while we sleep (we rest and wait in Him) (Psalms 37.7; 127.2).

So that Jesus helps us not to want the blessing of others but only what he has already given us freely in Christ Jesus. After all, how each person is unique, the blessing of one never to make perfect in the life of another.

Hence the commandment:

 

·        “Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.” (Exodus 20.17).

 

Finally, what the eternal has for each is an exclusive secret between him and his bride:

 

·        “The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.” (Psalms 25.14).

·        “But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.” (1Corinthians 25.14).

I don't always agree with Got Questions. For all practical purposes, Allah is at enmity with the God of the Bible. Read the Koran for clarification.

yes they missed this one... God is known by His Word! The Koran is not The One true God's work in word....
