From John Crowder's Book 'Cosmos Reborn - Happy Theology on the New Creation'

He doesn’t say: Why no faith? He says: Here’s the Answer. He doesn’t say: Why are you sick? He says: Here’s the Answer. He doesn’t say: Why are you poor? He says: Here’s the Answer. He doesn’t say: Why is your marriage broken? He says: Here’s the Answer. Having spent years in healing ministry, I’ve seen the whole machine become obsessed with looking for roots and causes to the problems of sickness, rather than resting in the simple reality that by His stripes we are already healed. The Gospel is always the antidote. Let’s start with the answer, not the problem. It is the higher reality to which we continually appeal, even when circumstances fly seemingly opposite.
