Where is the trust in the Lord here?
We can trust in man-made vaccines in these evil dark days.
Or we can trust in the Lord....who is abundantly able to deliver , to heal and to save
It's not a perfect either/or though. I trust in God to feed me. But I still go to the shops for food and plant fruit and veg seeds in the springtime.
I trust in God for my health -- and I go to a doctor for examination, advice and treatment when I'm concerned about my health.
When a vaccine has been tested and found safe and effective, I'll take it readily. And still my trust will be in God who care for me and for the whole of creation.
Dear Brother, Sister,
I believe we are in agreement Brother. These are questions I toss out there for you Sister, because each person must do according to what the Holy Spirit guides us to do. I'll not denigrate anyone for what they desire to do as it pertains to vaccines.
Does a person heal themselves? No. Does it require faith? Yes.
God does heal, but from the little I can tell from Scripture, He uses others to do His work. The healing that has happened in Scripture whether in the OT or NT was by the will of God, but done by those he gave the healing power to in order to do so.
Sorry, but I will not limit God, but allow Him to heal as he wills, by those He has chosen. Otherwise, we are condemning those who are physicians or work in the medical field, as was Luke, who first healed by man's knowledge of medicine of his day, then, by the power of the Holy Spirit. Still, healing occurred in Scripture by many difference ways, spit on mud, touch, handkerchief, Word, water, etc. Once again, I'll not limit God to the method, or the person by which He choses to heal.
Then my question; is it then wrong to go to a dentist, podiatrist, or any physician to even just get a diagnosis? Perhaps our child is sick, do we go to a physician, or just wait upon God, who very well could have put the physicians there to do the very thing we are waiting upon?? The physicians of this day, are not like the ones of Jesus' time, who used spells etc. in order to heal. They are studying God's Creation to determine whether something works or not, regardless if they acknowledge Him or not, it comes from Him. I'll ask; will any cure be found, if God does not provide the knowledge for it to be found?
Tying it to faith or lack of faith, is to place a burden upon those believers who do go to physicians. If ones faith is sufficient, Alleluia! However, if ones faith is not, should I condemn their actions of going to a physician or taking their children to one, for again the
reason being, that God has not provided the knowledge/abilities that these men & women, and many believers have, in the areas of Medicine they have made their professions in? One day no physicians will be needed, I await that day, me of little faith.
On the vaccine it doesn't matter what man says about its effectiveness, because God is our healer, and His will is which is done, will be done, by the method of His choosing and not our own.
We need to keep on praying that God will provide us relief from this pestilence,.
With the Love of Christ Jesus.
