Your sins are forgiven.”<br /><br />“My daughter just died. Come, lay your hand on her, and she will live.”<br /><br />"Lazarus, COME FORTH."<br /><br />Jesus went into a house, and the blind men followed him. He said to them, “Do you believe that I can do this?”“Yes, Lord,” they answered. He touched their eyes and said, “What you have believed will be done for you!”<br /><br />Zaccheus, come down, I'm coming to your house today.<br /><br />Martha, Martha, Mary has chosen the better thing.<br /><br />As they were leaving, some people brought a man to Jesus. The man was unable to talk because he was possessed by a demon. But as soon as the demon was forced out, the man began to speak.<br /><br />Oh, Lord, may we pour out our alabaster jar and offer all we are to you http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkP52EZ2HFYLane Hill Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12952459499802207852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4364617788458228849.post-58861109306024360782012-02-09T09:13:49.522-08:002012-02-09T09:13:49.522-08:00I hadn't thought about the guilt aspect but th...I hadn't thought about the guilt aspect but that's very true. And another important reason for us to stay clean before our Lord.<br />Thanks to both of you for your wise words.Holly Magnusonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16456970548031746223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4364617788458228849.post-30937451382549307772012-02-09T09:02:13.959-08:002012-02-09T09:02:13.959-08:00Roseanna - my thoughts exactly.

And, beyond that, accepting that forgiveness is sometimes necessary for proper physical healing to take place. Guilt can mess with our health and restrict healing.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06596653591301276543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4364617788458228849.post-78047794644481949632012-02-09T05:21:19.737-08:002012-02-09T05:21:19.737-08:00I agree with you on shaking my head at the "y...I agree with you on shaking my head at the "you must have unconfessed sins" thing. Another of Christ's healings srpings to mind where he said, "Neither this man nor his parents have sinned, but he's blind so that the glory of the Lord can be made manifest through him." Who are we to presume to know the WHY of these things? <br /><br />My opinion is that we need to believe, yes, that God CAN heal man through man--and I love how the people in this passage are so amazed at that! It's truly miraculous that He would give us this power! But what is more important? To have perfect health here on earth or an eternity with the Lord? Jesus was offering the latter to that man by forgiving his sins, just as He offers it to us all. He gave the best FIRST. Then gave the healing, too, just to provide a sign.Roseanna Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02245767775900250399noreply@blogger.com
