Be brave, fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer

Jesus' disciple John, who wrote the book of Revelation, should be an example for us because he was put into a pot of boiling oil to kill him. When they were not successful in killing him, they abandoned him to an island called Patmos and there he received these revelations:

Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.

He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit sayeth unto the churches: he that overcometh shall not be hurt of the sickened death (Rev 2:10-11)

And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for Thou wast slain and hast redeemed us to God by Thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation: And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on earth (Rev 5:9-10)

Bible verse Ecclesiastes 3:11

He hath made every thing beautiful in His time: also He hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.

What is sickness and disease?

It is a paddle. David said, "Before I was afflicted, I went astray." (Psalm 119:67)

In the past, when a kid got into trouble at school, he would be paddled. Now, there is no punishment for their action. Sickness and disease is the manifestation of unpunished sin (spiritually unrepented sin). God has NOTHING to do with bringing upon sickness and disease, that (sickness and disease) is from Satan. There is no death or disease IN GOD, because God is holy. We are sickened due to sin, which is of Satan, not God.

Sickness, disease and sin are kin. Through sin, death entered into the world. (Rom 5:12) Sickness is incipient [the beginning of] death. (for the body)

I can say that if I sin and get sick or diseased, (as a consequence of my sin, because there WILL be a consequence for all of our actions) I seek God unconditionally. I pray I could set my affection upon God always, then I would never be sick. (Col 3:2)

Why are there not large amounts of miracle healings?

First of all, I speak on this with tenderness and the hope that we can find answers, but are we not a heathen nation who puts our trust in men?

If a Christian cannot find healing in the church, where then can he turn? There is hope. If anyone humbles himself before God, cries out to Jesus Christ and turns from man, he will be helped.

Remember, we all live forever (for a soul cannot die) and our childrens' souls are in the hands of God.

II Chronicles 6:12-42 and 7:1-10, Luke 12:4-7, Matthew 13:58

Is It OK to Sin?

The soul that sinneth, it shall die (i.e., be separated from God). (EZE 18:4) God cannot look upon sin. Sin translated means to; miss the mark and therefore not share in the prize.

Sin is the transgression of the law (I John 3:4). God said, "I will not enter into the city" (HOSEA 11:9). Even God's own Son cried out on the cross, "My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken me?" (MATT 27:46) Therefore, Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us, for it is written, Cursed [is] everyone who hangeth on a tree. (GALATIONS 3:13) For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit. (I PETER 3:18)

Just in the fact that you are alive today, attests to the mercy of God, that we should repent and turn to God through Jesus Christ and be healed (saved).

Is It God's Will to Heal?

In Mark 1:40-41, a leper came to Him, worshipping and kneeling down to Him saying, "If Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean."

Jesus, moved with compassion, stretched forth His hand and touched him and said to him, "I WILL be thou clean."

If Jesus would have said any other thing, then men would have the right to say that it's not God's will to heal. Not only IS it God's will to heal, but it's His will to save you from your sins.

Healing is part of the salvation to the believer.

Do You Know How Powerful God Is?

When He said, "Let there be light", and there was light, this light was not the sun because the sun was not created until the fourth day.

This light was Jesus Christ, and he sustained life on the earth. The earth (the grass, trees, flowers, bushes, seed, etc.) did exist, live and bring forth by this light.

And God said, "I have created a new Heaven and a new Earth, (present tense in the book of Revelation) therefore, there willl be no need for the sun and the moon, for the Lamb will be the light thereof."
