    Many of the healings happen on the street and to people who don't even believe to begin with. There are videos where they display medical documents or talk to doctors. Here's one that involves the woman who prayed for people at the basketball game along with Todd White.



    Which includes statements by her specialist doctor.

    I had a look at it. A little bit too detailed for me right now.

    Err ok. How did we get into healing now? Can we circle back to Augustine soon? :)

    Is that correct?
    As I explained before, it is God's universe and He is sovereign. Because of His sovereignty He was able to hand authority and dominion over to man after He created him. That is exactly what He did. Sadly, man then handed that dominion over to satan. But the good news says that we now have authority over the demons because Jesus gave it to us.

    If God thinks that it's more to His glory to let us take responsibility for our free will actions that are against his will than it is to create us with no free will and incapable of failing to perform His will to the most minute detail (sin and evil and all), then that is His prerogative. If the Calvinist could dictate to God what is to His glory and what is not then God would certainly not be sovereign rather the Calvinist and Calvinist theology would be. Which is, in my opinion, precisely what this is really about.
