This is What God Expects From His Children. Do you Agree?
For if I have boasted any thing to him of you, I am not ashamed; but as we spake all things to you in truth, even so our boasting, which I made before Titus, is found a truth. 2 Corinthians 7:14..
The people of God have a certain kind of lifestyle that has been designed for them, and this should be a way of life if they want to continue to be the children of God. Their lifestyle could either bless their possessions or vise versa. To receive blessings from God, you first have to do everything God's way.
In order to receive the blessing of healing from God, He has demanded humility, prayer, seeking His face, and repentance. Only then can He heal His children and their land. Today's Christians should not take God for granted; He still demands humility, fellowship, prayer, and repentance today because He is still a holy God.
Dear beloved, if we want God to be close to us, fellowship with us, and answer our prayers, then we need to live lifestyles of prayer, humility, repentance, and holiness. Share your thoughts below! God bless.

A message of encouragement and it now receives an upvote. Oh Yes, we know God loves His children. And as children of God, we need to obey His instruction and behave like good children. This is what we are learning at the Learners Corner in Bible Learners Ministries - a digital evangelistic ministry.
Great! Thanks for the comment.
You're confusing Old Testament verses about Israel with New Testament verses about Christians. God never promised healing in the New Testament. God made promises to Israel that he never promised Christians. For example,
(Deuteronomy 7:13-15 NIV) He will love you and bless you and increase your numbers. He will bless the fruit of your womb, the crops of your land--your grain, new wine and oil--the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks in the land that he swore to your forefathers to give you. {14} You will be blessed more than any other people; none of your men or women will be childless, nor any of your livestock without young. {15} The LORD will keep you free from every disease. He will not inflict on you the horrible diseases you knew in Egypt, but he will inflict them on all who hate you.
God doesn't promise us healing. Godly people still get sick. They can still die young. My first wife and I had two stillborn children. She died from complications due to kidney disease when she was 30. I couldn't begin to tell you about all the people who prayed for her. I also couldn't begin to tell you about all her suffering in her short life. God is still good. God has purposes for everything for those that love him.
(Philippians 4:13 NIV) I can do everything through him who gives me strength.
God expects us to be like His Son. Live a moral life. Love God. Serve God by serving people. Love your neighbor as yourself. Practice hospitality. Forgive those who hurt you. Be a cheerful giver. Pray everyday. Go to church every week. Read your Bible regularly. Read the whole Bible.
Once you've repented of your sins and accepted what Jesus did on the cross as payment for your sins then there's no need for repentance.
