“And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul” (Genesis 2:7).
Ron Green was a gifted baseball player with a strong arm, good power at the plate, and a bent for women, gambling and drugs. Ultimately his career was cut short by a shoulder injury; tragically his life was cut short by being framed for a murder he did not commit and cumulative affect of drugs, both prescription and illegal.
Now suppose Ron, right after he hurt his shoulder, had gone to a Signs and Wonders conference. During this meeting the evangelist gets a word of knowledge, “Someone here has a shoulder problem and the Lord wants to heal it.” (He discerns this by virtue of the sudden pain in his own shoulder.) Ron comes forward, the music crescendos, he performs a “throw from left field”, and . . . falls down backwards!!!!
If that’s not revival I don’t know what is. You know what I’m talking about, the kind we glibly report to our friends, “It’s not a revival of people getting born again; it’s a healing revival!”
The evangelist is happy, the dream team is happy, the sheep are fleeced . . .I mean freed, and the devil is calling 911.
Does it get any better than this?
Ron goes on to a productive career and his women and his drugs and his gambling.
But he was healed, right?
Or was he?
