How many Christians would imitate the gesture of Elisha? - 4

* Luís Alberto Alves

Another terrible Army is that of a serious illness whose doctor has already deceived you. The treatment is only palliative, in a gesture to postpone death. Even in frank conversation, it has already been stipulated that the life span is short. Anyway, now it's just waiting for death to arrive.

As a pastor, I have already visited hospital beds and witnessed the sadness of relatives in this situation. As a servant of God I prayed for the sick, I perceived by the countenance, the agony eroding the soul and spirit of those people. Everyone is afraid of death. Especially from someone dear.

As much as we speak of the power of Jesus Christ, many people continue to behave just like Giasin. They refuse to have the faith and posture of Elisha. They remain trapped in the discourse of medicine, instead of paying attention to the Lord's action.

In some cases, family members are in a panic. They do not reason anymore. They only see the worst. As a pastor I understand, but he who has power over life and death is still God. Nothing happens without your permission.
