Sorry if I wasn't clear enough on my "known will of God" comment. I am saying when you know God has told you something and you are disobedient things get out of wack. I wasn't refering to all the totality of the known will of God. Just what He speaks to us individually. Also there is a big difference in going through trials for disobedience than there is for suffering for His name sake. Lysa I think in this life the fact that we are not going through persecutions is an indication we are not living up to the level He has called us to. We are not above our Master and if the hated Him they will hate us also. As far as knowing His will. We are only responsible to obey the things He has revealed to us. We know to love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul and might and our neighbor as ourselves. We can't be disobedient to what we don't know. But if we have heard His voice we need to obey.

Now that we know you need healing we can be praying for that. I will also pray for peace and provision for you. God bless you and keep you.
LysaI don't agree with DP and for proof I say look at Timothy who had stomach problems and was told by Paul to take a natural remedy and was not told to pray for healing, and for Paul too who had eye-sight problems. And many many saints who were very powerful in the kingdom but suffered terrible sicknesses. I did believe this gospel once for a time but did my own Bible study after I failed to be healed in spite of great faith and found it was the soul that is to be healed so that we can walk in holiness. Physical illness does not stop us being holy. We must put up with the effects of the fall but understand too that a lot of illness is caused through eating a typical western diet and I object to those who say they got healed and continue to abuse their bodies like this instead of obeying the natural laws on food that is, organic and unprocessed, the way God made it and which you buy in the health shops that Prince scorns.Besides I have been sick for a very long time and had countless prayers and annointing in oil.DP also upset me when he was making fun of others, and the bit that got me the most was when he joked that if you go into a health food shop the people you see look sick. After spending years of buying health foods and looking sick, I found that remark insensitive and offensive.I exclude things from my diet like gluten and have lab tests to show anti-bodies to it despite going to my GP and being told that the test he did was clear. I went instead to a private doctor but Prince would have had me obey my GP when they know nothing about nutrition and food intolerance.
Bro krautfrau,I feel there are possibly unfounded accusations toward Bro. Prince; not that I knew him personally but Id like to address this if that is ok with you!

Dear LysaFirst of all, I am not a man. I use the username krautfraumeaning ;kraut - cabbagefrau - womanand thought that the two German words were well known but I was wrong and so apologise.I listened to the links you gave and on a number of occasions, Prince had his audience laughing about something or other concerning people beliefs like the sick ones in the health food store. He refused to accept any dietary therapy and claimed that scripture says that all things are for our benefit, and this is despite evidence to the contrary that people have anti-bodies to certain foods, and he is showing his ignorance as for example wheat has been so modified that it barely compares with ancient species and has become a major allergen.I am afraid that saying that death is ultimate healing is a cop out and is not scriptural as it says that death is mans enemy.If the apostle Paul did not have enough faith to heal his eyes then we have no chance.I do appreciate your desire to help me though but please not with this gospel that damages many people. I have never said that sickness is good - it is not God's will for us to be sick but is one of the things that we have to tolerate in this world the same way in which we suffer for others sins.blessings
I just wanted to let those who have been praying for me know that I have had a breakthrough and God has given me light regarding my situation which has strengthened me a great deal. Many thanks.
