- 2 CORINTHIANS 12:9
Went thru my gf's bro stuff today and found one whole stack of RBC books. Managed to find one which says:"Why would a good god allow suffering?". Flipped thru the pages and found one familiar verse above. I can always remember the first part:"My grace is sufficient for u"....but now i also know that god's "strength is made perfect in weakness".
For the weak, the oppressed and the sick, do not despair. We should always know that GOD's always there for us.....[/b]
yup he still is.....Originally posted by alexkusu:a question.... your gf's bro is still in this world rite?
Originally posted by Ironside:GOD is indeed good to me....besides letting me further my studies in the university (after five yrs of working as a police regular), he has let me found a good gf and realise how my family cared for me. Like what u said "sometimes God puts us in a situation wherein everything seems to be dead end. He does this so that we will put our trust in him more." If I am not sick, I will not be humbled. I will still be a godless and arrogant person who believe I can save myself.
good message Laoda.................
i also read somewhere that in God's school of sanctification suffering is part of it's curriculum............
those who know that they are weak are the ones who are strong.
I have prayed for you brother and i will always include you in my prayers.
sometimes God puts us in a situation wherein everything seems to be dead end. He does this so that we will put our trust in him more.
2Co 1:8 For we do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, of [b]our trouble which came to us in Asia: that we were burdened beyond measure, above strength, so that we despaired even of life.
9 Yes, we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves but in God who raises the dead,[/b]
not all praying can heal. The Bible is clear on that. Paul never got healed of his physical ailment. He gives Christians sickness and ailments as part of the sanctification of a Christian. We learn more in suffering than we do in comfort and pleasure.Originally posted by dragg:if praying can heal then who are those people who died?
Amen. May God help us by His Son Jesus Christ thru His Holy Spirit. Pls also pray for me for healing & deliverance by His stripes & by His blood covenant. In Jesus name amen.Originally posted by Ironside:not all praying can heal. The Bible is clear on that. Paul never got healed of his physical ailment.
