What happens when your healing prayer is an unanswered prayer? Today we’re tackling the tension between charismatic faith for miracles and embracing biblical suffering. Join us for an honest conversation about Spirit-filled Christianity that survives life’s deepest trials.
In this episode, we examine a charismatic perspective on Christian suffering, challenging common misconceptions and overly simplistic interpretations that often lead to spiritual harm. While many believers rightly highlight God's promises for healing, provision, and victory, an unbalanced focus can result in guilt, exhaustion, and disillusionment. We address the dangers of assuming suffering can always be avoided through sufficient faith or perfect confession, emphasizing how this mindset inadvertently shifts trust from God’s faithful character to our own spiritual performance.
Further, we explore the profound theological tension between God's goodness and the existence of suffering, engaging common questions like "Is my suffering punishment from God?" and "Does God notice my pain?" Through biblical examples and scriptural insights, we propose a robust theology of suffering that affirms pain’s reality without declaring it inherently good. Ultimately, we encourage believers to maintain hope in God's active compassion and supernatural intervention, anchored in the promise of ultimate redemption and comfort.
Hey Guys, Josh Lewis here. Have you ever wondered if the miraculous gifts of the Holy Spirit—like prophecy, healing, and tongues—really stopped after the apostles? Cessationists claim they vanished throughout church history, but that's a myth. In Remnant Radio’s new ebook, History of Spiritual Gifts: The Myth of Cessationism, I dive into church history to reveal the active use of spiritual gifts by early church fathers
