WE play a part in the relationship but it all comes from him."<BR/>Interesting. I have always thought faith was a one-way street coming directly from me, (keep in mind, it isn't Jesus I'm praying to, but the concept is the same)but I imagine that implicit in the concept of "Faith" is the idea that God has faith in me. Never really considered faith as a two-way street...thanks for being you, JodiAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11437710259566671762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-854575870070704513.post-50019270549789479612008-04-19T12:21:00.000-04:002008-04-19T12:21:00.000-04:00Jamerica...You said, "I believe if parents want Je...Jamerica...<BR/>You said, "I believe if parents want Jesus to heal their children's ears.

It isn't about the prayer or the answer...God LOVES it when we come to him- with a headache, with deafness and in a dying breath. He LOVES his sheep. that is why we pray- because as we do- we know Him better. He already knows us..kwim? he made us. I pray about the big stuff, I pray about the small stuff...it ALL matters to God because we are his Children.<BR/><BR/>My son als has been dx w/ autism...so I pray about that. i totally understand what you are saying about big and small stuff.

Because I know my soul is hearing when I am into heaven. I won't give up to pray Him...<BR/><BR/>Luke 6:46 Jesus said "And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?"<BR/><BR/>Today, people called Him "Lord, Lord I would like you heals me" or "Lord, Lord I need you bless my finance" Jesus said "Why you call me "Lord, Lord" which you don't the things which I say?" That's why Jesus trying to tell you don't to do drugs, forncation, liar, greedy, idol, lust and sinful. People still won't change their heart and still saying Lord, Lord. He won't listen people's pray until they repent to do stop sins then He would heal or help...<BR/><BR/>2 Chronicles 7:14 "if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land."<BR/><BR/>I believe if world who are call JESUS, and they have to keep away sinful things. He would forgive their sin and WILL HEAL PEOPLE...

Yes, I do. Only if you believe Him and called His name (Jesus), He will listen your pray. He would love to heals your children..."<BR/><BR/>Are you still deaf? if so and you do believe God will heal you why are you still deaf? Do you not have enough faith then?<BR/><BR/>God heals people all sorts of ways and the New Testament lists many different ways. some were healed BEFORE they even had faith- they didn't even know who Jesus was. Some were touched directly by Jesus or his desciples, some had relatives that were spoken to and they were healed through that. <BR/><BR/>I whole heartedly believe that this world has way less healing than it could have- if more people accepted Jesus and truly believed in him and had more faith there would be more healings. Funny that there are more healings in less developed contries- perhaps because more faith is needed on a day to day basis.<BR/><BR/>So how do you draw such a nice neat little line on what is a 'miracle' and what is not? so headache healings are not. what about chronic migranes. Or chronic broncitus, or the flu. does God not care about that? I 100% was healed tonight by prayer from a headache. DH was planning on going to a concert and I had a headache that was moving into nausea. I went and layed down and prayed that God would provide some relief so that DH could go and have a good time. I woke up w/o a headache. That just doesn't happen w/ the condition that I have. Sometimes he does, sometimes he doesn't do this kind of thing for me but tonight he did.... it isn't JUST about the faith- if it were would we need Jesus? And faith comes from Jesus anyway.

If you had cancer would you go for treatments. So you believe that deafness is imperfection then right- if you feel God could heal it- so why not treat it as such and use the medical devices available- which ultimately come from God because..well..he gave the Doctors and scientists their brains. I personally have been healed on things physically and mentally. But praise Jesus, he has also provide doctors.

DS is one of them. And, as I said, even w/ those the CI has been an incredible blessing. His speech is behind but his language has soared. His favorite new thing is, "And speaking of...." and he applies it correctly by taking two unrelated things and relating them. (I can't help but get giddy at such things..) Parents really do try! Schools too. and the CI is a GREAT tool and even now so much better- and w/ the bilaterals...WHEW!! What a blessing! btw---Ds is now at age 7 interested in ASL- so we do it just from time to time- some basic signs and certainly i'd teach it to him at this point if he were intersted. but you gotta strengthen that hearing muscle after you get the CI-Prince Andrew and the Queen Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08876789726311010657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-854575870070704513.post-77354790949543501852008-04-17T22:11:00.000-04:002008-04-17T22:11:00.000-04:00I am so very tired of hearing that ASL is the answ...I am so very tired of hearing that ASL is the answer. If that's the case, why are there so many deaf adults from deaf families who still haven't mastered English? I teach at Gallaudet. I see the poor reading and writing abilities, and inability to present a well thought out argument far more often than I would like. <BR/>As it makes no sense to compare oral education as it existed 20 or more years ago to what is available to oral deaf kids with CIs today, it also makes no sense to compare kids who received the early versions of CIs with the high tech CIs of today. With good early intervention, these kids will soar in their language and communication abilities.<BR/>Finally, we must not forget that some research says as many as 40% of deaf kids today have an additional disability. Deaf kids with a learning disability, another sensory disability, etc. really have it tough. So, let's not blame everything on the CI not working, or the parents not caring. The vast majority of parents do all that they can, so let's not be so quick to point the finger of blame.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
