Healing Refused: The Heart's Barrier
God never changed. But a heart can refuse what a hand extends.
Pastoral summaries in Josué's voice. Click any verse reference for the full AMPC passage in the Bible reader.
Nazareth had the same Jesus as Capernaum. The difference wasn't in Him. It was in the soil.
This group exists for honesty. Not because God changed — the Healer never changes — but because a heart can refuse what a hand extends. Nazareth had the same Jesus as Capernaum; the difference was the soil. This is not condemnation; it is the mirror we hold up before we blame heaven for a delayed harvest. Faith is the receiving arm. Guard it.
