Jesus gives us abundant life.....life as God has it.God doesn't get sick, so we don't allow sickness to stay in our bodies.Divine health belongs to us!
Jesus was saying, "I have come that you might have the life of God."God was never sick!Sickness and disease doesn't come from God; otherwise, Jesus would have included it in His abundant life message. He came to set us free!
" The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill and to destroy:I am come that they might have life and that they might have it more abundantly."John 10:10God is doing everything in His power to get healing and health to us!The devil is the one who steals, kills and destroys!
In Luke 13:16, Jesus called sickness and disease a bondage.In Acts 10:38 Peter calls sickness and disease satanic oppression.
Sickness and diseases are satanic forces.God called them curses in Deuteronomy 28:59-61
Some have been taught that sickness comes from God to teach them and make them pious and more Christ-like.But in the Word we definitely see that sickness comes from the enemy, not from God.Jesus didn't become Christ-like through sickness and disease, so why would we.
We can always overcome with God's Word.We will not be discouraged and we will not fear or quit.By faith, we come out of every test stronger.
When the devil comes, we need to say, 'Glory to God! here's a chance for me to use my faith!'Then throw the problem back to him with God's Word and we will come out stronger than when we went in.
As long as we live down here, we're going to have trouble with the devil.He tries to stir up negative circumstances, symptoms, thoughts, imaginations and trials.He does anything he can to discourage us and make us want to quit.It's a fact we must face!
Faith helps us fight and overcome the enemy when he attacks us with problems.The only way that we will never have any more troubles with the devil, is to die.We can count on him to bring trouble our way.John 10:10 says "The thief [devil] comes not but for to kill, steal and destroy."
"Fight the good fight of faith,lay hold on eternal life,whereunto thou art also called,and hast professed a good professionbefore many witnesses.1 Timothy 6:12
God's Word is full of truths to empower us to cast off symptoms, tests and trials that may come.We can walk in victory!
The more we push off the enemy's attacks [symptoms, tests, trials, temptations] the stronger our faith will get and the quicker problems will leave.
Who wants to take on a cold and sit back saying, "Well, I'm going to learn from this cold"?What can be learned from a cold anyway......except that not ever wanting another one.
We can either let tests and trials get into our lives and put pressure on us
or we can use our faith to push them out of our lives.
We must decide if we are going to go after those tests and trials and conquer them!
When symptoms come, we tell our bodies:"You're healed because Jesus bore our sicknesses."After all, we're not the sick trying to get healed.We are the healed trying to stay well!
People will either grow using their faith against tests and trials OR they will go under when they face the same tests and trials.It's what we do or how we stand against the problems that makes the difference. Faith grows in trials by believing what God's Word says.
Patience is a steady, consistent endurance.When we walk in patience, we're not up some days and down on others.We base everything on God's Word, not our feelings for the day.
We're not perfected because of a bunch of problems that have come along.We're perfected because we stick with the Word of God in the middle of the problems and patiently endure.That's when patience has its perfect work.
