Patricia King: More False Signs and Wonders

Patricia King is yet another false prophetess preacing/teaching false signs and wonders. This time she is teaching her disciples to go out and try raise the dead:

Now, I know that the Lord can heal anyone who trusts in Him in His own perfect time and His own perfect way. Therre are three (3) possible ways for Him to do it:

1) Miraculously (without the use of any medical science in the healing process, though the healing can always be scientifically verified). Though this is possible, it is the least likely way that healing will occur. That is, God usually doesn't heal people that way.

2) Medically (through surgery, transplant, medicine, etc.--again always scientifically verifyable). This is the second most likely way for God to heal someone.

3) Ultimately. We will all die unless the Rapture occurs in our lifetime. Those of us who have trusted Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior will go to heaven where there will be no more pain, no more disease, no more death, no more sadness, etc. And death is scientifically verifyable.

So God will heal everyone who believes in Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior; but He may not heal us in the way we expect Him to heal us. He will heal each of us in His own perfect time and His own perfect way and in the way the glorifies Him the most. As far as I'm concerned, people like Patricia King, Todd Bentley, etc. seem to be making a mockery of God and His ways (whether they realize it or not). Miracles are not limited to physical healing. God gets as much (or more) glory from us being able to praise and worship Him in the midst of adverse circumstances and weakness as He does by taking away those circumstances and weaknesses. Whatever healing God does, actual medical professionals will be able to verify. Jesus is the head of my health care team, and He works in and through every member of it, speaking through the other members of that health care team almost without exception.

I also know that the Lord can raise people from the dead if He so chooses. However, I have to ask: Why would anyone want to return to earth (with all of its imperfections and troubles) after going to heaven (complete perfection beyond our best imagination)? And, according to Hebrews 9:27, "It is appointed unto men once to die, and after this the Judgment." Is God going to go back on His Word to give a physically dead person a second chance to repent? I'm not so sure about that. It seems to me that the Lord would have brought salvation to that person before death. Remember the rich man and Lazarus? Something to think about.

Be careful. Don't send any money to those who promote a false gospel for their own personal gain.
