Good versus evil

By From A Friend at 05/16/08 09:45

You have it every where.In the world,in the movies,in wars.......You also have it in you. Two very important things. 1] If you have given your spiritual well-being into the hands of Jesus then you will be well. 2] Even if you don't have faith to be healed God is faithful.

Satan comes with sickness,disease,death and sin.He enters in and tries to deceive and destroy us. We have God Who is pure,holy and has given to us his holy spirit[because of what Jesus has done].

Jesus said; If thou canst believe,all things are possible to him that believeth. And straightway the father of the child cried out,and said with tears,Lord i believe; help thou my unbelief. And Jesus proceeded to heal his child. Mark 9:23-29 John 10:10

Is it God's will to heal?

Is it your will that your child be healed? Of course it is because you love her-him. God is love. 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 10:10.

God wants to heal you, but you must forsake man and his inventions and turn to Jesus Christ. Psalms 99:8 106:29 Ecclesiastes 7:29.

That the scripture must be fulfilled

John 19, among others throughout the Bible, proves the bible is true. There are too many truths throughout the bible for a man to know them all, but God shows us all a little.

One that stands out to me in particular and has brought me to trust in Jesus with my body is Revelations 18:23. Sorceries translated means drugs, medication, pharmacists... and it is obvious to the casual observer that the whole world has given themselves over to drugs and medication.

Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God. Psalm 55:19 As for me, I will call upon God and the Lord shall save me.

Jesus said the truth and his disciples responded, this is an hard saying who can hear it. John 6:60. Thank God for the King James Holy Bible. For it is not altered by man. You can study and translate back to the original Hebrew and Greek.

Persecution

The closer you get to Jesus, the more you will be persecuted. Only you and God know to what degree you are being persecuted. It starts with being ostracized.

Don't condemn yourself for you are doing nothing wrong (if you are keeping the commandments of God). The strength has to come from God, not people. Only God can direct you in the right path.

I Thessalonians 1:4-5

Ye That Fear God

Then Paul Stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, "Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, give audience." Acts 13:16

Paul was sent unto us, the Gentiles, to preach forgiveness of sins through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. If we fear God then we can receive the promise.

Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent. ACTS 13:26

Let us hear the word of God.

Alone

Do you feel like nobody loves you? God loves you. Jesus is your companion.

Just imagine the things He went through and join yourself to Him. Ten you won't be alone. We are not of the world. We do not fit in. Don't comdemn yourself, it's a fact. Jesus talks about it in John 15.

God knows what you need before you ask. Trust Him.

False Teachers

I had a religious group knock on my door last week. They were trying to convince me to put my trust in their prophet whom they said God sent. I said God has been sending His prophets since the beginning of time and never has His prophets sought their own glory, but glorified God and prophesied of Christ.

Let us never seek to glorify ourselves or another man; but God only. If we glorify anyone or anything other than Christ, we are anti-christs.

What would Paul have thought?

Acts 17:18 I wonder how Paul would feel if he traveled to America today and saw the idolatry and people giving themselves over wholly to the gods of medicine. Certainly his heart would be moved like never before.

Then certain philosophies of the ep-i-cur'-ans, and of the sto' icks, encountered him. Some said, what will the babbler say? Other some, he seemeth to be a setter forth of strange gods; because he preached unto them Jesus, and the resurrection.

Faith

And His name through faith in His name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know; yea, the faith which is by Him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all. Repent ACTS:3:16

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God;

Not of works, lest any man should boast. EPHESIANS 2:8-9

Is it God's will to heal?

The answers are in the Lord's Prayer. LUKE 11:2

Our Father, which art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.

The Lord's not saying that the world be as heaven (that is, no sickness or disease), He is saying however that the Christian has the right to receive God's will for their body.

Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who have trespassed against us.

For if we forgive not those who have sinned against us, neither will God forgive our sins. Let not the Lord say to you when you stand before Him in the day of judgement "depart from me you wicked servant for I do not know you".
