‘Mid-Acts-ers’ teach that we should not pray to God for mercy on the sick (physical healing) .... because they say God is not a doctor. But ‘their’ apostle Paul wrote:
Phil 2:25-27 Yet I supposed it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, and companion in labour, and fellowsoldier, but your messenger, and he that ministered to my wants.
26 For he longed after you all, and was full of heaviness, because that ye had heard that he had been sick.
27 For indeed he was sick nigh unto death: but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.
‘Mid-Acts-ers’ teach that we should not pray to God for ‘traveling mercies’ .... because they say God has ‘no will’ concerning trips. But ‘their’ apostle Paul wrote:
Rom 1:10-11a Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you.
11a For I long to see you,
Furthermore, ‘mid-Acts-ers’ teach that Satan doesn’t care where you go either. But ‘their’ apostle Paul wrote:
1 Thess 2:18 Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan hindered us.
‘Mid-Acts-ers’ teach that we should not pray to God about selling our house .... because they say God is not a realtor.
‘Mid-Acts-ers’ teach that we should not pray to God for a job .... because they say God is not an employment agent.
‘Mid-Acts-ers’ can give you a list of what NOT to pray to God about. But ‘their’ apostle Paul wrote to pray about every thing:
Phil 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
I remember hearing ‘mid-Acts-ers’ snicker when Mr. W. lost his journal and told them he was praying that God would help him find it. Whether God helped him find it, or whether he located it because he kept looking for it .... who can say? But when he did find it, he gave God thanks and praise. The ‘mid-Acts-ers’ found fault with that and mocked him .... but “he had a verse”. That’s more than I can say for them:
1 Thess 5:18 In every thing give thanks:
for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
This is David Dowell saying, “Think about it!”
