His doctor said that his type of cancer should have killed him years ago.

After all, if the Bible says to do it...well, then that means we should do it! Again, there's nothing cultish about it, or anything special about the oil- it's all God.

Thanks for the comment!
I agree c...Hey, Alexander! Thanks for the comment!<br /><br />I agree completely that faith is the key factor. The oil was simply a tool, not the healing factor. I apologize if I didn't make that clear. It was because we prayed in faith, believing God would answer, that our friend was healed. Mr. Friend himself had that sincere faith and believed God would heal him. There is, nor will be, anything we can do *on our own* that can bring about such miracles. I know that the Lord may not heal everyone every time we may do the oil anointing thing, but I do know that He will be glorified when we obey Him in faith.Kirsten Fichterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01887462858049277918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5328638743833934975.post-74168713544579587192013-07-22T13:08:21.339-04:002013-07-22T13:08:21.339-04:00I don't know exactly how I feal about this. I ...I don't know exactly how I feal about this. I do agree that alot of times we are afraid to ask God to do certain things because we think he can't do it. I think personally it was your father's and the rest of the men's faith that was the reason that God decided to heal him. We do have to be careful that we don't get caught up in the oil and forget about the God who healed him. If you read the verse it says "And the prayer of FAITH shall save the sick" So it had nothing to do with the oil(I don't mean that in a wrong tone :)). I belive the oil was the cultural Hebrew religon sort of thing to do when praying over someone. We have to be careful not to get caught up with with the oil because what happens then? we start to wonder was it the oil that saved him? <br /><br />Thank you for posting this. These are topics that people usually don't know how to respond to because they just never think about it. So it's a great opportunity for everyone to find out what they believe about this.
