This is a serious question about healing........?

From the words of your sentences I get the impression that you are truly sincere in your wishes to help others. By telling you that I, myself, have been healed I'm hoping to direct your efforts toward the type of healing that truly matters to God.

There are many faith healers throughout the world who hold large, extravagant meetings that draw many people from miles around who are afflicted with physical ailments of all kinds. These people go to these meetings with the hope that God will heal them of their physical infirmities because they love the flesh and hope to remain in it as long as possible. Because they do love the flesh, many of them are given the delusion that God has taken pity upon them and healed them.

People who believe in faith healing are the ones who would ask me, if I should come down with a physical sickness, "If you are so sure of having the help of God, then why don't you ask Him to heal you?" I would answer them saying, "Why should I bother my God with such a trivial matter as that when He's already healed me of a terminal disease which was the cause of much anguish and sorrow -- and the pain of that disease -- the pain of it was unbearable! He's healed me also of my blindness and my deafness. He has healed me of my lameness so that now I can walk with surefootedness along the Path that He had long ago prepared for me.

After all that, would I now be so ungrateful as to ask Him to also heal me of something as insignificant as a physical illness?" I would not. I would give tribute where tribute is due. For the things of the world, I would give tribute to the world. For a physical ailment, I would go to a medical doctor or take a home remedy, whichever seems to me to fit the occasion. But for the things of the spirit, I will give tribute where it is due, and that is to my God and to Him only.

Many people are jogging and exercising their physical bodies to make them stronger and fit. Many, many people go to great lengths to cut down on their intake of calories, either for vanity or for the health of their bodies. And they do all this despite the fact they all know, regardless of all the things they do, their bodies will still grow old and decay, become weakened and fall apart, disintegrate and turn to powder. How much worth does man put upon a body that's doomed for destruction the day it's born? They've even gone so far as to try to preserve it on machines long after it's been vacated by its soul! O Foolish Man, you do try to hold onto a worthless thing, don't you?

When will we know there's only one body that can be preserved? When will we begin to spend all our time and effort trying to preserve the only body where results can be obtained? When will we begin to worry more about the polluted food we're feeding our spirits? When will we begin to worry more about the pollutants in the water we're giving our spirits to drink? When will we begin to avoid like the plague the deadly cholesterol we're causing our spirits to ingest? When will we exercise our soul to make it more fit and in a stronger condition? When will we put all our trust in the Great Physician so that He can heal our soul of its many illnesses and infirmities? For all other effort is in vain; it's all vanity; it is deadly vanity.

Therefore, I hope you can be inspired to develop the ability to heal people's spirits and souls of their many infirmities.

World of Warcraft Healing Question?

World of Warcraft Healing Question?

There are lots of ways to conserve mana, it really depends on your class. Each healer has their own low-mana small heal that is their main spell, and some higher-mana cost large heals. The smaller heals are usually more mana efficient IE you heal more hp per point of mana spent. For pallies this would be flash of light, for priests flash heal, and for shammies it is lesser healing wave (I dont know druids very well, but I'm sure they have one)

If you are anything but a Paladin, upgrades for your dps set can be decent (though not optimal) for healing- if your dual-spec is ranged. Though, you will always get more mileage out of your gear as DPS rather than heals, as dps is an easier job.

A great place to start would be the instances that give epics on normal difficulty- Trial of the Champion, Forge of Souls, Pit of Saron (and Halls of Reflection if you're dps). Because they aren't heroic, you can farm them over and over to get the gear you want without being locked out. After you have some easy upgrades there, just do random heroics! Emblems accumulate quickly if you are randoming, and with them you can quickly buy your Tier 9 armor- the shoulders and gloves are only 30 emblems each. I got a character to 80 this weekend, and in only 2 days I had 2 pieces of tier gear from rbadges gained from randoms as well as almost full epics from those regulars.

You actually should be able to get good enough gear from those regulars to be able to heal random heroics... Before you get into groups make sure to tell the tank that you are a new 80 and to please not chain pull so that have an opportunity to drink.

Synoptic Gospels, Jesus Heals crowds of the sick. What is the meaning of this story?

Synoptic Gospels, Jesus Heals crowds of the sick. What is the meaning of this story?

New Testament class quiz question, eh?

If we accept the Markan Priority Hypothesis, we start reading with Mark's account. This Markan Priority Hypothesis basically claims that Luke and Matthew had read Mark's gospel when they wrote theirs.

Mark is uncharacteristically longer than the other accounts, because of two things.

(1) the account of the evil spirits. (2) his orders to the spirits to keep quiet about him.

These two themes are big in the early chapters of Mark, and lead us to believe that Jesus didn't want his ministry of healing and exorcism to overwhelm his message of the presence of God's kingdom. It also shows Mark's typical ironic detachment. This is his distinction between the spirit world and the human world. Jesus and Mark's reader can discern the spirit world, but the people Mark depicts cannot. It's also characteristically of Mark because it describes the crowd scene with details: pushing, the boat etc.

Matthew, written for faithful Jews, goes easy on the world geography, only mentioning Jewish places by name. It's more specific about the afflictions Jesus healed, mentioning various things that Leviticus describes as unclean. This is presumably because one of the things Matthew emphasizes is Jesus's direct challenge to the sacrificial temple healing system. Also, in this gospel they brought him "all" the sick (etc) and he healed "every" disease. In Mark he healed "many," so Matthew ramps up the account of Jesus's power.

Luke's account is shorter and more conceptual. He strips out Mark's details. True to Luke's worldwide focus, he mentions the region of Tyre and Sidon (recall that Jesus provoked strong anger back in Luke chapter 4 when he talked about the promise of God's realm being for people beyond Israel). Luke also talks abstractly of his power, where Mark and Matthew make it concrete. And, Jesus's power is palpable to everybody, not just the evil spirits (as in Mark).

This is an interesting story to ponder on this particular day in the USA, when our national legislature is trying to figure out what to do about health care. Is healing and health to be given to some, while accepting that there are aspects of how it works that are obscure (the secret of the evil spirits)?

Or, is health care to be offered to all? Will the legislature, like Jesus, challenge the standing health care order?

Or, do we get Luke's straightforward factual kingdom-of-God approach?

Who knows?
