Last Tuesday we had our weekly prayer night and we had a great discussion about the great commission. One of the young men raised a very good point about the healing debate that every Christian tends to argue about.
His point was “Why do we give up on praying for people?”
Surely if we are bible believing Christians we should believe what the bible says right? If so lets look at these scriptures.
1 Thessalonians 5:17
Pray without ceasing
Matthew 18:19
Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.
So why do we give up when we pray for people? Why do we stop praying when someone does not get healed? Why do we not remember these scriptures about people not getting healed automatically?
Mark 5:25-34, Mark 9: 14-32 and I could go on and on but the point I’m trying to make is that if you believe in prayer just because it may not happen straight away does not mean it wont happen.
