Why did Sis Urshan die? She probably had a million or more people praying for her.

Why do most of you think that you need a lot of people praying for your healing? The more... the better..., or so they say.

Maybe among a lot of people there's a better chance that God will hear one of them?

Maybe there's someone in the group that can pray the prayer of faith? You know God has His favorites, right?

God, I've pulled all the levers and pushed all the buttons, why haven't you healed me?

Because God doesnt heal old age. I mean that as no disrespect but once we get to a certain age our bodies wear out.

The Lord has promised us 70 years anything above that is borrowed time.

Where'd you get that at? I've heard that quoted as Scripture before, and it's not in there. "There is a sin unto death" is in there, but not "a sickness unto death."

Obviously in concept, we're gonna die sometime, somewhere, of something, but as far as the saying goes, it's not a Biblical reference. (Not that you said it was even....just making a point....lol)

Some things we will never understand. I think if someone days of old age, it's just that - old age.

someone may have allready said this but my thought is that yes she was older and worn out, god bless her passing, but one of the reasons that so many of us pray for people to stay around is because they give us security, their voice or just being, Sometimes god just says you have had them long enough, and takes them to rest, so no matter how hard we pray , he is still God, dt

Ps.90:9 "For all our days are passed away in thy wrath; we spend

our years as a tale that is told,

Vs.10, "The days of our years are three-score years and ten; and if

by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength

labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.

According to my KJV, Moses the man of God prayed inpart this prayer.

Moses represents the law. The old covenant. The natural. The natural

is first, then the spiritual. The new Covenant was supposed to bring in

better things, better promises. Are we limited in our faith by what was

spoken by a chosen man of God under the law! We read in the OT the

verses above, so we expect 70 yrs. or 80, etc.? I have heard people say

they won't be here long because I am already -- years old.

When a child is conceived and grows to a time when it is delivered, it

passes from one small chamber unto a much larger chamber, this world!

When it comes out of the "sac" or "skin" it is in, does that mean it dies.

Why when we come out of this "skin" we are contained in, until the time

of "delivery" do we many times lose hope. Have we not passed from death

unto life! We are dying in this world but will live eternally in the world to

come, whereever that happens to be.

Just some thoughts!

Incidentally, Ps.103 not only speaks of the benefits of forgiveness

and healing, but in verse 5 speaks the mouth being satisfied with

good things; so that thy YOUTH is RENEWED like the eagle's.

There are wonderful promises in the Word of God. Faith comes by

hearing the Word of God. If we don't EAT (consume) His Word, it

cannot benefit us. As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.

We are told to be RENEWED in the spirit of our minds! If we do our

part, God will do HIS!!!!

Just some thoughts from a senior sister who never felt better in

her life, and feeling better all the time. One of these days the

inner man/woman inside will slip out of this fleshly "skin" I have

been living in, and as the old song goes:

Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer,
May I thy consolation share,
Till, from Mount Pisgah's lofty height,
I view my home, and take my flight:

This robe of flesh I'll drop and rise
To seize the everlasting prize;
And shout, while passing thru the air,
Farewell, farewell, sweet hour of prayer.

Blessings,

Incidentally, Sis. J. Urshan almost died quite a number of years ago

at the end of a Gen. Conf. The ministers and wives who were at the

Conference, if I remember, were brought to an area the hospital made

available. I read that the roar of those prayers were heard thoughout

the corridors of that hospital. God spared her to the extent that a

Jewish physican who attended Sis. Urshan, called her each time she

came for her checkup, the Miracle Lady. God gave Hezekiah extra years.

He has given many extra years.

Will He find faith in the earth!!

Let me relate some closer home. Our family.

In 1926, my paternal grandmother was dying of typhoid fever.

The doctor told her husband that she was dying and showed him

the bluish color on her feet and legs. My dad, eight years old, stood

nearby and heard these words. Before she lapsed into a coma, my

grandmother prayed these words, "LORD, if You would see fit, let me

live to raise my three children". Around four o'clock the next evening

she awoke, her fever had broken and she would live. Not only would

she live to raise her own three children, but she lived to see our first

grandson born. He is twenty four years old, and a licensed young

minister of the gospel. Five generations followed her.

If Grandma Blakey had not read the Bible over and over as a devout

Methodist, she might not have had the faith to believe He could and

would heal her. If Grandma, as a young 20 wife, and mother to be, had

not read her Bible and prayed that if her child was a son, that the LORD

would make him a minister of the gospel, things would possibly have been

a lot different in our family today. She changed the course of history for

our family. I have gone into my living room and looked into the faces of

my grandmother and parents and with thankfulness, with tears, thanked

them for my godly heritage. What we are today is not what we have done

but choices those who went before us made for us. We have the choice to

not carry on what was bought and given to us by those who paid a price

to bring it to us. It started with Jesus Christ. His apostles and on down

from generation to generation. What have or what will the generation that

has been given to us!!!

Incidentally, Grandma was born on this day in 1897.

She passed on Oct.10, 1984, 20 days before her 87th

birthday. She outlived the physican that said she was

dying, by over 50 yrs. She would have turned 107 yrs. today!

But Grandma went to the land where she'll never grow old.

Never grow old. never grow old, Tis a land where we'll
never grow old. Never grow old, never grow old, Tis a
land where we will never grow old.
