Can't have it both ways

If God predestines men to salvation, what is the necessity of evangelism? ....Well, God has decided to save people through the preaching of the gospel. Let’s see it as a privilege instead of a burden. However, God also saves people through dreams and visions without human agency. We are not indispensable but co-partners with Christ.

Isn’t it unfair to say that God saves some and does not save others? … Well, so let’s say that God has decided to save all but man initiates his own salvation. When we share the gospel to someone, what do we then pray beforehand? If we pray – Lord help him to decide for you, then we are saying that God has to work before he responds. If we are saying to ourselves that God cannot intervene because man has to decide, then we should never pray. Instead our entire duty is to plead with man since God has done everything on His part. Either God is helpless or He initiates. We cannot have it both ways.

Work towards your Healing

It is surprising that many believers are not able to see that it is possible and necessary for us to work for our healing rather than just expect someone to lay hands on us for our healing to happen. Why do we not see that God uses healing as a miracle to draw unbelievers to Himself whereas He wants us to see our healing as our inheritance which we can claim through faith? We would rather go to someone for our healing than receive our birthright which was purchased for us. In the book of James which alone speaks about healing for the believer, even though we are exhorted to seek help from the elders of the church, there is clear instruction regarding how to claim our promise and what are the things that can stand in the way of our healing. I really wish we could produce 'schools' of healing where we would be taught these things and work with believers who are struggling in this area of claiming their healing in Jesus Name!
