I think we need to get our theology right about illness. There is this idea that is really common with WOFers and Bethel, Redding folks that God never causes disease. This idea was common in early Pentecostalism, but it hasn't really entrenched itself as much in that movement, unlike some of these others, because of the tendency of Pentecostals to read the whole Bible.Ephesians 15:26And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee,

Good and thorough post. Revelation 2:22

Another one - Isaiah 45:7I form light and create darkness; I make well-being and create calamity; I am the LORD, who does all these things.Now, this is one verse and it exists in a proper historical context. It must be properly exegeted and understood. But nevertheless, it is holy Scripture and we must wrestle with it. Folks who would defend WOF theology as just reading the plain meaning of Scripture must acknowledge and wrestle with this verse.

There was a thread elsewhere discussing if the corona virus was from God or the devil, and I was amazed at some of the responses. Some were adamant that God does not cause sickness or calamity. I'm not saying God caused the corona virus, but He allowed it, and He can certainly use it for His purpose More of Him...less of me.twitter.com/camiracle77www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=691241499&ref=name

Who says this?

I've heard just the opposite. I have heard them say how God will take bad situations and turn them around for his Glory.DS, do you believe God sends sickness upon his children to bring them closer? I have never gotten close to God in sickness. He sent Jesus to do that.Do you desire sickness upon your children? I don't. I find it difficult that I am more merciful than God.Did Jesus even once refuse to heal someone who came to him?

My brother, I am not WOF. But I would have to think that WOF proponents would accept that, while God does not want anyone to be sick, He nevertheless works all things to our good...and so would use sickness for His glory in that way.

We get sick because we live in a fallen worldWe get sick because the poisons we consume We get sick because of poor lifestyles

2 Chronicles 7:13-14(NIV)

Ezekiel 14:12(NIV) The word of the Lord came to me: 13 “Son of man, if a country sins against me by being unfaithful and I stretch out my hand against it to cut off its food supply and send famine upon it and kill its people and their animals, 14 even if these three men—Noah, Daniel and Job—were in it, they could save only themselves by their righteousness, declares the Sovereign Lord.15 “Or if I send wild beasts through that country and they leave it childless and it becomes desolate so that no one can pass through it because of the beasts, 16 as surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, even if these three men were in it, they could not save their own sons or daughters. They alone would be saved, but the land would be desolate.17 “Or if I bring a sword against that country and say, ‘Let the sword pass throughout the land,’ and I kill its people and their animals, 18 as surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, even if these three men were in it, they could not save their own sons or daughters. They alone would be saved.19 “Or
