You will live a completely different life if your faith is in God, not God AND Something else.
When our faith is in God and something else, our attention is divided and we can't love Him with our whole heart. We are trying to serve two masters, and we become mastered by our divided attentions and affections. In healing and healing ministry, many are serving the "god" of getting well. If push comes to shove, some of the honest ones will admit that given a choice between getting well or having relationship with God, they would abandon the latter for a season for the pursuit of health and healing. But the Kingdom keys are that we seek Him and His Kingdom first, and the healing comes through Him. Peace, provision, all of it are found in Him, but we are offered (tempted) with shortcuts. We are also sold the negative PR that the Kingdom is some kind of drudgery and we are giving up some real benefits to be God's kids. Nothing is further from the truth, Beloved. Love and Life are found in Him.
"Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength."
Isaiah 26:3-4
" No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon."
Matthew 6:24
