Re: More on healing the sick in Jesus name

Honestly, those two women didn't sound convincing to me that they were healed, especially the second one. She's got pain at a level 10 all the time and she just got supposedly healed and she's all unenthused about it. I'd think she'd be a little more excited than that. Plus you just never know with all these pain healings. Pain is a funny thing. It comes and goes on a whim sometimes, and adrenaline rushes (like the excitement of being filmed for a healing) tends to do great things for pain temporarily.

I'd love for both of those women to be truly healed, as well as the person that wrote in the comment section of this video. So I'm not rooting against healings at all. But I know the commenter said he's been prayed for over 50 times and no healing. And I see that a whole lot. And I also hear so many stories about how people get hyped up thinking they are healed, later to see they are not. And then there is the pressure to say you are healed even if you know you are not, and that seems like that may be the case especially with that second woman in the video.

There's a country music singer with very late stage cancer right now, Joey Feek. Have you heard of her? Her husband has been keeping a blog on facebook of what they are going through. A huge percentage of the comments to his blog will say stuff like "Joey will be healed!" (meaning in this life, not when she dies) or "Jesus died for her healing!" (again meaning he died for her to be healed in this life). One commenter I saw said she will have faith again if Joey is healed. Otherwise I assume she means she won't if she is not. I would love to see Joey Feek healed. She has a husband that loves her dearly and she has a beautiful little baby girl who has down syndrome. So many of the commenters talk about how Joey is going to be for sure healed but no one says anything about the little girl being healed of down syndrome I've noticed. Joey and her husband both seem to be displaying wonderful faith through all this. But I can't help to wonder what will happen to the faith of the thousands of commenters and also all those that are not commenting but just following the story, that are so sure she will be healed in this life, if she isn't actually healed. It just makes me sad that instead of people's faith being based on what Jesus accomplished on the cross, which apparently is not enough in so many people's minds, it is based on whether someone is healed or not.
