But, but, but, dontcha know, bb, that God’s a sugar daddy up their in heaven dispensing blessings on people on demand?
And it’s your *right* as a child of His to name it and claim it?
And that if you don’t get it the way some people think you should, it’s not GOD’S fault?
It’s YOURS!
You don’t have enough faith.
You aren’t believing God.
You have sin in your life you need to repent of.
You have generational curses you have to ferret out.
You really want to be sick.
If you’d just do the right thing, follow the right procedure, viola, it’s yours, like sticking a nickel in the candy machine and turning the knob and out pops candy.
Any and every excuse for why you aren’t healed except acknowledging that their theology is unscriptural.
This thread seems to pop up every now and then.

I was at a customer's one evening last week. (Personal customer, side job.) Trying to get his computer squared away. I knew he was a pastor of some sort. Well, on the big screen there were two tag teaming televangelists, pitching for the donations. I'm sitting there waiting through a long chkdsk on boot, and he's telling me to pray, decree and declare against metastatic prostate cancer.
"That's now how this works. That's not how any of this works!"
He ended up giving me a Rob Parlsey book. If and when I see him again, if he brings it up, so he knows where I'm coming from, I'll give him a copy of the Heidelberg Catechism.
27. Q. What do you understand by the providence of God?A. God's providence is His almighty and ever present power, whereby, as with His hand, He still upholds heaven and earth and all creatures, and so governs them that leaf and blade, rain and drought, fruitful and barren years, food and drink, health and sickness, riches and poverty, indeed, all things, come not by chance but by His fatherly hand.[5]
