Hay thanks for your support, being blind is far from teh end of the world
and if I'm still of use here then whatever goes, I don't mind. I do have
trouble too but blindness isn't going to tie me down at all.

You know, I love what you say here..how you disagree with everyone talking
about your life being sad and pitiful. The way I see it, if that is how you
feel, and you are fine with what God's plan is for you, then there is
nothing to be healed from..is there?? I mean, with that attitude, arn't you
bringing Glory to God and singing His praises?

Hi Everyone,
I absolutely believe in the phenominon ofspiritual abuse. I have seen lots
of it in many
areas.
I don't know that I want to share my story, because it opens up a big can of
worms. However, God told me I had to forgive those preachers which were
thinking they could heal me, in order to put another notch in their gun
belt, so-to-speak.

The major problem with all this, is that the devil has been trying to work
overtime in our lives against any belief in healing.
Let's look at this strictly from a logical point of view.
1. Jesus healed blindness and many other disabilities. 2. He told his
disciples to heal the sick, raise the dead etc. 3. He told his disciples
that they would even do greater works than he did.
Now here is the questions we all must answer.
Where is it in the bible that Jesus said that all healing and signs and
wonders, and gifts of the spirit would cease after the book of Acts and the
early church?
Well, there is no such scripture. That doctrine is a doctrine of man and of
devils.
Therefore, everyone, inspite at the abuse we have all suffered under the
hands of well-meaning, and not-so-well-meaning preachers, yet, healing and
everything else God promised in His word, is for today.
The Devill has used all this garbage we have gone through, to discourage us
into believing that there is no healing or baptism in the spirit, or
anything else.
Now, though I believe in healing, I believ contrary to the healing
preachers, for the Lord heals, not the preachers. So I prefer to leave it
in the Lord's hands, and in his timing.
Nevertheless, know that God is greater than our experiences, whether they be
bad or good. And we can trust our Lord to do what he purposes to do in our
lives, no matter what the doctrines of man might be.

Vinny
