TGJC Podcast and Blog: Well Being Modays "Prayer Faith and Healing" Book Discussion "Does God Really Care?"

Podcast first Aired 24May2022

Prayer Faith and Healing Book Discussion: 

Authors: Kenneth Winston Caine and Bruce Paul Kaufman 


Segment One: Unanswered Prayers, Does God Really Care?

Why are we left to suffer? Athiest Nietzcshe quoted, " I doubt wheher such pain improves, but I do know it deepens us." Example shared from Joni Earkson Tada experienced diving accident left paralyzed. She shares that God can use our suffering to purge our sin from our lives, strengthen committment to Him.

Our Faith helps us endure, God may use it to shape, mold, and refine us. Much like what sandpaper does. Sometimes our answer to our prayer is denied to as to make room for something else he has for us. 

Segment Two: Getting A Yes, Because?

There is no magic formula, but there are things noted to help. 1) Allowed medicine to help 2) The person or another person prayed for healing. 3) Removal of Emotional Obstacles 4) The person has faith which has been shown to create calming affect. 5) Trying to live right 6) Patient knowing the body takes time to heal. 7) Allow for different answers and different types of healing such as family unity.

Segment Three: Trust His Heart when you cannt see what He is doing. 

Isaiah 61:1-3 The Year of the Lord’s Favor

61 sThe Spirit of the Lord God is upon me,

because the Lord has tanointed me

to bring good news to the poor;1

he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,

to proclaim liberty to the captives,

and uthe opening of the prison to those who are bound;2

 2  vto proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor,

wand the day of vengeance of our God;

to comfort all who mourn;

 3  to grant to those who mourn in Zion—

xto give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes,

ythe oil of gladness instead of mourning,

the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit;

zthat they may be called oaks of righteousness,

the planting of the Lord, athat he may be glorified.


Closing: (personal additional thought) Sometimes  the answer to healing is to be joined with Christ in glory, leaving this world.

(Perspective) Biblical: Freedom In The House Of Mourning

Countless times I've expressed the expansive variety of options we're gifted here on Earth. Why do we limit ourselves to options ABCD, though? We're told we have free will. We're told we can do what we want with our bodies and choose when to have kids  But what does it really look like to have free will? I'll tell you now. Not caring about the options at all. Seeing everything as a gift. Realizing this world was designed to be enjoyed and lived in to the fullest extent possible. Again, why limit ourselves to simple options? Pick whatever car you want (as long as it's the color options they've presented you with.) Eat whatever type of french fry, icecream, or food that is available on the menu list at your favorite restaurant. We have personal preferences and there's nothing wrong with having options and opinions. The question poised here is simple: Are you really free, or just given options?  I was blessed to hear a wonderful sermon that presented this w...

15 December 2021 Dream

Dream last night was trying to meet someone outside to talk in person. Guess I got impatient.  Was outside at night fall. Was able to read street sign that read "Lara". Walked down the road to food joint. Inside I see some small black square shaped folding table, that some well dressed Mexican man was holding up, then allowed to fall and collapse. I was frustrated and annoyed that he left that mess. I attempted to fix the table. He quietly laughed to himself at my struggle.  I start laughinig like him in a mocking way. There were a couple of small stuffed pillows that I tossed to the ground with every laugh walking towards him. He looked at me pissed off and angry. A full cup of Coke in a paper cup with the lid on sat on the table where he stood next to it. He knocked it over and it spilled all over the floor leaving a long trail throughout the entire length of the restaurant. I hopped over it and said, "I'm not cleaning that. Guess everyone will have sticky feet the...

(Perspective) Biblical: God and America's Gift

Ecclesiastes 5:18-20 New King James Version 18  Here is what I have seen:  It is  good and fitting  for one  to eat and drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labor in which he toils under the sun all the days of his life which God gives him; for it  is  his  [ a ] heritage.  19  As for every man to whom God has given riches and wealth, and given him power to eat of it, to receive his  [ b ] heritage and rejoice in his labor—this  is  the gift of God.  20  For he will not dwell unduly on the days of his life, because God keeps  him  busy with the joy of his heart. What else really needs to be said? This is why we work. To sit back and enjoy what we've built and accomplished. This is the Gift. Our nation is built on similar principals. It's been said often: "The pursuit of happiness." It's not a new concept, but something easily forgotten. We're over saturated in work, content, media, tra...
