I had one misguided charismatic tell my wife her faith or rather lack thereof keeps her in a wheelchair. It took me several years to undo the damage.

I could tell you stuff you wouldn't believe about my asking to be prayed for in a charismatic church.

I agree completely. It's all my fault that I haven't been healed, it's not enough faith, generational curses, sin in my life, yada, yada, yada....

Everyone has an answer and a formula. If I'd just do this, that, or the other thing, viola, I'd *get the healing*.

It does do a great deal of spiritual damage.

They mean well.....

I keep telling myself that.

But heaven help the next person who starts in on me with that kind of thinking.

I've had it up to *here* (way above my head) and am not interested in hearing it any more.

I've noticed that those with the most to say about how God should be working in my life if I'd let Him also tend to be the ones who are the healthiest and are not dealing with their own unresolved, major health crises. It's easy to be the judge and jury when you haven't been there.

Twenty six years ago this night I married my bride. Our future was not of the brightest forecast LOL. She was two months going into a third in the hospital. A laying on of hands had taken place and yes it was a life altering experience for me. Odd isn't it the preachers laid hands on her and a message comes too me about our future.

Nine years into our marriage I was hit with disabling disorders. Not as severe as her as I can walk. But I have violent upper torso seizures and limited concentration now. It won't kill me as it's myoclonic seizures brought on from certain auditory and vision events. Walmart's Public Address system for example. Reading scripture for any length of time beyond a couple of paragraphs and staying focused is difficult as is prayer unless I leave the house and go walk a trail somewhere alone. My post you see in here especially on religion can take me up too an hour too compose.

you may think or feel you aren't doing something as in GOD working in your life but indeed you are. You posted the article didn't you? :>}
