Re: Joyce Meyer - Trusting God When You Dont Understand

Healing is a gift that is given as the Lord wills, not as you, Refreshed, or I will. Also, when people operate in the gifts of the Spirit, there is only one gift that can be used at a person's will any time they wish and that is the gift of tongues that is the kind for personal edification. People cannot give messages in tongues and interpretations, operate in healings and other miracles, faith, words of knowledge, prophesy etc at any time they want. The Holy Spirit gives this at times of His choosing. If people who operated in the gift of healing, for example, could heal people any time they want to they could go into a hospital and clear out the whole place. See the following scripture.

7 Something from the Spirit can be seen in each person. The Spirit gives this to each one to help others. 8 The Spirit gives one person the ability to speak with wisdom. And the same Spirit gives another person the ability to speak with knowledge. 9 The same Spirit gives faith to one person and to another he gives gifts of healing. 10 The Spirit gives to one person the power to do miracles, to another the ability to prophesy, and to another the ability to judge what is from the Spirit and what is not. The Spirit gives one person the ability to speak in different kinds of languages, and to another the ability to interpret those languages. 11 One Spirit, the same Spirit, does all these things. The Spirit decides what to give each one.
