of course... since Philip was one of the professional representatives of God on earth... should there be any problem in the lives of those I was caring for... it had to be coming from some issue in their lives... since it could never be from my lack of faith... or anything that was out of kilter in my walk with God... of course... it could never be that...

So the problem is never with me... the problem is always with you... if you were not healed when I prayed for you... it's  not my lack of faith... it is your lack of faith...

if you are not set free from your difficulty... it is because of something you have refused to deal with in your life that is keeping you from having God's promises to you fulfilled....

if you were still stumbling in sin... it is because you love that sin and just want to keep on sinning... obviously, if you really repented, it would be gone... 

lack of success... financial woes... a life full of problems and difficulties... then there is some area of your life where you need to shape up and fly right...

 if you had trouble with your legs... knee problems... something that made it difficult to walk... obviously God is telling you that you are not walking correctly with Him...

Back problems causing difficulty to stand up straight... is because you are not upright in your dealings with others....

Headaches?.... they were caused by all the foul things that you were watching on TV... reading in books... visiting on the internet... etc. etc. ad nauseum.

Terrible tragedies.... of course that was just God punishing you for something that is out of whack in your life...

Philip had a reason for everything that was happening in your life and turned you into yourself to find out what that thing is... turned you into always feeling guilty about it.. always feeling condemned...

all of this is so terribly wrong... so terribly terribly wrong...

I need for you to understand that this is not what a relationship with Jesus is like... He does not do that to us... people do that to other people...  God's enemy does that to us using other people... using people like me... Satan uses my religious system and every other religious system to accomplish this horror in one way or another...

And this is only the tip of the iceburg.... more on the journey of the Titanic next time...
