IS IT FEAR OR FAITH ! There are some who haven't learned to believe God for relief from a headache, but they want to believe God foretold healing of cancer. For many, it's not there faith that makes them want to believe God --- it's their fear of the knife or something worse. You will bury most of those people. Many who have lived if they would have had the operation or chemo. I don't want to discourage anyone's faith, but I caution you to know where you are before you make a decision when it means life or death to you or your family member. The majority report is this: you don't push anyone beyond their level of faith development. These people can be taught if they want to know the truth, and if they will practice their faith and develop their faith, many of them will eventually be able to receive divine healing and not need medicine. But if you push them beyond their level of development, some of them will die. I'm talking about the God kind of faith, Bible faith ! Yes, James said, "Faith without works is dead." He is talking about a man who needed food and clothing. Just to say to that man, "Go and be warmed and fed," is not enough. If you don't give him something, your faith is dead. (James 2:14-20). If we are to follow what Jesus taught on works or corresponding action, then we must give the sick what they need. First of all, they need to be anointed with oil and have the prayer of faith prayed over them. (James 5:14-15). But even after the prayer of faith is prayed and the healing power of God flows into their body, the symptoms may linger in their body for several days before they have the total manifestation of their healing. The medicine they are taking does not heal, but keeps the disease from getting out of control and holds down the symptoms. Even though there was a divine healing process started in their body through the prayer of faith, the symptoms must be dealt with until they have a total manifestation of their healing. Some can handle the symptoms and stay in faith, remember your faith is what you say based upon what the Word of God says about it, but some can't. Now remember, James indicated you should give you the man what he needed and that would be faith with corresponding action. It may be true that the person is healed, but if you take away their medicine, the symptoms will usually cause them to doubt. Someone may say, "But if they are healed, they don't need the medicine" if they have received by faith, they really want need the medicine to heal their body, but they may need it to control the symptoms so they don't get into fear and doubt. So for some, the medicine is needed, until they have the full manifestation of healing. Others who are operating on a higher level of faith can ignore the symptoms and staying faith, knowing that healing is a process that takes time. The corresponding actions that James said would make faith perfect was giving the individual what he or she needed, not taking what they needed away from them. So many only need prayer to be healed, because they're more highly developed. Some may always need medicine because they have not been taught about divine healing. Then there are some who need prayer and the medicine to keep them out of fear until the doctor confirms that they are well. Medicine does not heal. In many cases, it only aids healing. So if it doesn't heal, neither would it keep you from being healed. It takes time to develop faith in God's healing power. So each individual must determine their own level of faith. Don't ever tell anyone to throw their medicine away. If God tells them to throw it away, if they have the "full corn in the ear," or full manifestation, then it's time to throw it away. Some people have the idea they will be healed just because they are not taking medicine. Note one ever God healed just because they didn't take medicine. But they say, "That proves I have faith." It may prove that you will die young if that's the only reason you are not taking it.
