No. It might just be that I haven't been walking in faith. Izzy wrote: > If so, do you think that whenever anyone else > gets ill that God is chastising them? Not so, so no, I do not. If you want my view on healing, I wrote an article back in the 1980's I think and it is posted on the website at www.InnGlory.org, in the library section under "David Miller." It might help you understand where I am coming from. I believe that both physical and spiritual healing is provided in the work of Christ.

It might be a case of inaction, such as unbelief, or it might be that I have opened a door because of sinful action. In this particular case, I received a dream / vision which revealed to me the door by which Satan could attack my flesh. I repented of my sin and was healed.

Do you think God puts sickness upon people? Which of us would chastise our children by infecting them purposefully with disease? What would you think of me if you learned that I purposefully infected my children with disease? Surely we cannot ascribe such abhorrent actions to a holy God. If we being evil do not do this to our children, then neither does a holy God do that to his children. Peace be with you.
