Sounds interesting
Let's take the simplest possible example for the moment.
I used to take decongestants, and things like them, daily. I had no idea what to do instead.
No one I knew knew what to do either. This was very common, and apparently still is most common,
but more people have found out now, though not a majority, by far, and government controlled protocols usually do not let people know either.

I started doing what is true and right and good, INSTEAD of decongestants /// /// /// (was interrupted) .... to be continued, God Willing....

I must apologize. As soon as you say government controlled protocols you lose me, completely. Each protocol exist because people have died, not maybe, but in reality. Drugs companies try and break them, avoid them and people die. In the USA there are not enough controls and people are dying when they should not.

I hate negligence and those who ignore care love and responsibility. I know too many loving caring medics who fret over people who may have died because they got it wrong.

So if it goes against love care and responsibility I do not want to know, ever.

Missionaries gave heroin to opium addicts because it made them better. Patients in a coma state were given a drug that meant they came out of the coma for three days. Then they died.
They have discovered in one research group vitamins increases you chance of cancer, by a little not reduces it.

Facts matter, research works. But salesmen and swindlers claim a lot, but always it's great cures with no evidence. There is no great conspiracy, there is only us and facts. You need to find the right facts to see the right picture. God bless you

OR ,
a different motive, as explained very simply, very clearly, in all Scripture ?

Sadly if you think scripture defines everything in a black and white way, you will get very confused.

Jesus says it is LIGHT for our souls, not confusing.

Mankind/ flesh/ society? confusing, rejecting Jesus.

God's Word, trusting Jesus? LIFE ETERNAL !

WHOEVER (anyone!) who keeps their mind set upon CHRIST! IS KEPT (BY HIM) IN PERFECT PEACE !

A Song of Trust in God's Provision
…2Open the gates so a righteous nation may enter—one that remains faithful.
The steadfast of mind You will keep in perfect peace, because he trusts in You.
Trust in the LORD forever, because GOD the LORD is the Rock eternal.…

I have heard of praying for people, not about healing people without faith.

Jesus healed because they believed in His authority. Praying for people as a demonstration of authority is unusual and when linked to NAR and spiritualism I would not go there.

Hi FollowHim,
There is a scripture that came to mind when reading your above post:

3" Four men came to Jesus carrying a man who could not move his body. 4 These men could not get near Jesus because of so many people. They made a hole in the roof of the house over where Jesus stood. Then they let down the bed with the sick man on it.
5 When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the sick man, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”
Mark 2:3-5

It seems in this instance, the faith of the four men rather than the lame man is what Jesus saw. Just a thought :)

Study Bible
God's Word is Living and Active
11Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following the same pattern of disobedience.
For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it pierces even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow. It judges the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight; everything is uncovered and exposed before the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.…

Verse (Click for Chapter)
New International Version
For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.

New Living Translation
For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires.

You got the "politically correct", totally false motives story.

And opposed to truth, contrary to God's Word, in every way by the system
that the world relies on and trusts.

I should also bring this up, it could be something as simple as I don't know where I put this tool in the workshop, and I haven't done enough of this in the past, but if you ask the Holy Spirit to guide you, He will direct you to the right spot.

God is Amazing. :D

I don't know what NAR is and the church is not involved in spiritualism.

I don't know what NAR is and the church is not involved in spiritualism.
NAR - new apostolic reformation - they are a loose association of latter rain believers who feel the church is growing to rule the world to usher in the millennium reign of Christ.

Bethel who have links in australia with a group who are going to new age festivals with a "christian" version of tarot cards to be able to bring Holy Spirit led prophecies of peoples future. There ideas go the enemy just uses spirituality for evil purposes so spirit led believers can do the same but for good purposes. Sounds to me a bit like white magic, except this is all banned by God.

It all came to a head with Todd Bentley and the florida revival meetings. He pushed angels with wealth being given out to believers and odd healing sessions. The NAR leaders came to anoint Todd in his ministry, and then discovered he was having an affair with a woman from his ministry team.

The more ridiculous claims coming from this group the more I become cynical over everything they do. Angel dust, jewels, golden crowns in teeth, leg lengthening without the core gospel message of repentance from sin, walking in the ways of Jesus and loving our fellow people. How about hearing from dead believers how there old friends are a blessing to them through a prophet, which is another way of saying a medium speaking to spirits with messages for the living. So this group are really doing things that are of the Holy Spirit and encouraging?

A group with no links to this pit, sharing holiness, purity and hope who the Lord is healing through as needs arise, Amen, but not this.
