Thank you I love this teaching

[@lionoffireministries]

I was 5 years of chronic illness! I was Semi Housebound, lost my health, job, finances and my fiance left me. I couldn't even look at electronic screen for 5 minutes, or hold a 10-minute conversation. But God did an amazing work. I now have a Christian Channel where I encourage people and show them what God did in my life and that there is hope for you also. ✝️🔥😊 *Keep believing even when it's hard* 🙏❤️🔥 *All things are possible with God*

Beautiful pure Beni thank you and see you in heaven ❤️🙏

In what way was she pure? She was born the same way all of us were because our parents had a few moments of wicked lust just as her own children were born .I thought the johnsons bound sickness from entering their church? She was sick with cancer for years . Teaching the lie that all men are born sinful is never ok. Jesus did not end what God created Jesus ended sin not evil in his short work on earth. God created good and evil and they still exist. Sin does not. The greatest lie taught for the last 2000 years is that sin still exists and it is from this lie that religion derives its wealth and power . The Johnsons teach this lie which is why they have become so incredibly wealthy and influential . She was no more pure than anyone else born since Jesus completed his work. Jesus did not come to save the wicked flesh.

She is dead now after years of cancer despite her and her husband saying sickness was not allowed in their building . I am sure they availed themselves of the finest medical treatment their fortune could purchase . They claim miracle healings but of course run to private medicine as soon as illness strikes . They preach one thing and do another. Johnson was an honored guest here in London at my pentacostal church. My church spent and continues to spend hundreds of thousands of pounds on private medical insurance premiums for its leadership without making it known to the members who actually give the money in tithes and offerings . Elim was my denomination it was founded on supposed miracle healings yet the irony of private medical insurance and vast wage packets for the "annointed" leaders is lost on them. Man made Christianity is a truly ghastly invention

Mike Rutkowski who posted 1 year ago: Mark 8:33 You need to go before God and ask Him for His Holy Spirit to enter into your life. You do not know scripture. You do not understand the little that you read yet you presume to unpackage it. Your teaching reminds me of that moment when Jesus wept over Jerusalem. Believing themselves to be enlightened but never hearing, never knowing, never understanding and dangerously believing it had the truth. Your 'truth' is neither trustworthy or sensible. There are too many poorly exegetical scriptures to even begin to reason with you. Suffice to say, find a doctrinally sound, caring church then humbly and quietly place yourself in it for retraining. Do not speak, just LISTEN AND LEARN. Ask Jesus to fill you with His wisdom and He will do so if you are humble. Repent of your false teaching and he will illuminate His Word to you. If you do not I fear you will hear from Jesus those same words which He thrust upon Peter: 'GET BEHIND ME, SATAN.' Mark 8:33 Don't allow your false understanding of scripture be a tool in the hands of Satan to distress and undermine christians nor hamper the true purpose of Christ. God bless you.

[@mikerutkowski7265]

There is only one truth from God, one and one alone. So you are either someone who has been sanctified in God’s truth and you thoroughly understand the message that scripture is relating or you are a deceived soul who does not. Sadly more then 95% of believers are completely ignorant in regards to God’s word and truth and this is why scripture relates that very few people will be saved. “And Isaiah cries out concerning Israel: “Though the number of the sons of Israel be as the sand of the sea, only a remnant of them will be saved,” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭9:27‬ ‭ESV‬‬ Nearly every day I am confronted by ignorant souls like yourself who foolishly believe that you are wiser then this sanctified disciple of Jesus Christ. So I have created this comment to expose how you have no idea what scripture is even relating and how you are simply an ignorant soul who is pretending to be a Christian. In my comments and in my videos I have been relating how it is possible to communicate directly with Jesus Christ through His Holy Spirit in your thoughts. I have been relating how you can reach a place where Jesus will then sanctify your heart in God’s one and only truth in order to overcome sin and sickness in this lifetime. I have also been relating that sin and sickness is strictly of the devil and not of God but yet your deceived and sinful soul is trying to claim that I am wrong and that this blessed life that Jesus has me relating is not possible. “Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.” Mark 9:23 NKJV Now I certainly know that you can still sin and you can still get sick and you have no idea what that even means or proves or what scripture is relating about such a person. This is because you have chosen to follow false religions and preachers and you clearly overlooked how Jesus is alive, that He has risen from the dead and He commanded us to follow Him and Him alone. You certainly are not comprehending how those of us who truly possess the Holy Spirit are able to hear the voice of our Savior Jesus Christ through testing the Spirits and we allow Him to guide us and teach us scripture since He is our one and only teacher. “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.” ‭‭John‬ ‭10:27‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world.” ‭‭I John‬ ‭4:1-3‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ So realize that just because someone claims to believe in Jesus certainly does not make that person a Christian or my brother or sister in Christ since even demons also believe and you definitely are being deceived by a demon. Why! Well if you were truly a Christian then you would have been rejoicing at the overcoming life that I have related about the good news gospel of Jesus Christ. Jesus did not sin nor did Jesus ever get sick and your lost soul clearly did not comprehend that if you were allowing the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ to guide you in your life then it would be impossible for you to sin or to get sick as well since you are now someone who possesses the same Holy Spirit and power that raised Jesus from the dead. ‬ Also understand that since I have been sanctified in truth by Jesus Christ Himself I know scripture very very very well and it is my duty to expose any wicked soul who tries to twist scripture in order to justify their wicked beliefs. I often see how many deceived souls cannot comprehend what is being related in 1 John 1:8-10, 1 John 2:1, Roman 3:10, 3:23 and 7 since many children of Satan try to use these verses to justify their sins. Then where their sicknesses are concerned many will twist what scripture is relating about Paul’s thorn in the flesh in 2 Corinthians 12:7-10 or the man born blind in John 9. Some twist what is being related in Exodus 4:11, 1 Timothy 5:23, 2 Timothy 4:20, Galatians 4:23, Philippians 2:25-26, Acts 9:36-43 while others try to use Job to justify the sicknesses in their wicked lives. Realize that I just laugh whenever someone tries to offer Job or others from the Old Covenant to justify their sicknesses since these lost souls are proving just how ignorant they certainly are. Why? Because they are not comprehending how we are all born in sin and that sin is the cause of all sickness and they are revealing how they do not even understand the difference between the Old Covenant and the New Covenant. Under the Old Covenant animal sacrifices were nothing more then an atonement for someone’s sins, a covering like a band aid and they could not cleanse a person of their sins. So anyone from the Old Covenant would always possess sin in their life since there was no cleansing of sins under the Old Covenant since Jesus had not arrived yet. So even though Job or Abraham may have lived righteously in the eyes of God they would still possess sin in their lives. “The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming-not the realities themselves. For this reason it can never, by the same sacrifices repeated endlessly year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship. Otherwise, would they not have stopped being offered? For the worshipers would have been cleansed once for all, and would no longer have felt guilty for their sins. But those sacrifices are an annual reminder of sins. It is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.” ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭10:1-4‬ ‭NIV‬‬ This is why we needed a Savior to cleanse us of our sins and to teach our sinful souls how to overcome our sins so that we could then become children who are born of God. Scripture makes it very clear that anyone who sins is a child of the devil that does not know God. So you cannot possibly be a child of God if you still can sin since scripture makes it very clear that any child who is born of God does not and cannot sin. “But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.” ‭‭John‬ ‭1:12-13‬ ‭ESV‬‬ “Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness. And you know that He was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin. Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him. Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous. He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.” ‭‭I John‬ ‭3:4-9‬ ‭NKJV‬ Many believers do not realize that there are no scriptures that ever relate that a sinner belongs to God or that a sinner is a child of God. There are no scriptures that ever relate that a believer will always sin or that a believer can never stop sinning. There are no scriptures that ever relate that sickness would be a normal part of this life or that a Christian would possess sickness in their life. Now many believers certainly are not Christians though since most have never allowed the Holy Spirit to teach them how to overcome their sins and this is why they still possess sin and sickness in their lives. So to ease their sinful conscience many will twist what is being related in scripture and by doing so they then condemn their ignorant souls since they are choosing to blaspheme God’s one and only truth by adding their lies to the word of God. “For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.” Revelation 22:18-19 NKJV “And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭21:6-8‬ ‭NKJV‬ Lastly, many ignorant souls think that because I have stated that I have overcome sickness in this lifetime that I am relating that I will never die to this life and these people reveal just how clueless they certainly are since everyone will certainly age and die to this life. This is because many ignorant souls clearly overlook what scripture is relating about God giving His true children an expected end just as He did with Aaron and with Moses. So realize that I will not waste my time going back and forth with your deceived soul since you have certainly proven that you have no idea what scripture is even relating and this is why I am exposing you for the child of Satan that you certainly are. “But the Lord laughs at the wicked, for he knows their day is coming.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭37:13‬ ‭NIV‬‬

[@mikerutkowski7265]

If you have not overcome sin and sickness in your life then you are a deceived believer who does not understand the blessing that Jesus provided for you. Most believers do not understand that sickness comes from sin and the devil and they possess sickness in their life since they are sinners who are deceived in their beliefs. So if you currently have an affliction or you are someone who can get sick then you clearly are living in sin and you certainly are not a Christian. You may foolishly believe otherwise but your sin and your sickness is definitely proving that you are a deceived believer who lacks knowledge of scripture since you did not understand the blessing that Jesus provided for you and you did not learn how to overcome your sin and your sicknesses. I am a sanctified disciple of Jesus Christ who can no longer sin nor can I ever get sick and Jesus has given me wisdom about scripture that very very few will ever possess. Realize that there is not even one scripture where God ever stated that a person who possesses sin and sickness in their life is His child so if you can still sin and you can still get sick then you definitely are not a child of God. Scripture clearly relates that if you do sin then you are of the devil and if you have afflictions then you are a sinner who does not know God. “He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.” ‭‭I John‬ ‭3:8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ Very few believers truly understand scripture and this is why only a remnant will be saved since most believers are completely deceived in their beliefs and they will perish in their sin and their ignorance of truth. Most do not even understand the difference between a Believer, a Disciple, a Christian and a Apostle and so I will now explain. “Isaiah also cries out concerning Israel: “Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, The remnant will be saved.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭9:27‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ We are all born in sin and in ignorance of God’s word and truth. When you first repent of your sins and you accept Jesus into your life you are now a believer but you are still deceived and ignorant about scripture since you have never been sanctified in truth by the Holy Spirit. This is why a believer will still possesses sin and sickness in their life since they still lack knowledge in the word of God. Once a believer accepts Jesus into their life they were then commanded to surrender their will to the Holy Spirit so the Spirt could now teach them how to stop sinning. This purification process is called sanctification and it can only be achieved by understanding how to test the Spirits as commanded in 1 John 4. Sanctification takes years and it requires our faith, patience, suffering and endurance since the Holy Spirit teaches us how to overcome our sins. Once we learn how to overcome our sins we now have overcome our sicknesses since afflictions come from sin and the devil. Sadly the vast majority of believers never allow this process to occur since they are deceived in their beliefs and so they remain in their sin and their ignorance their entire lives. Others will actually fall away during the sanctification process just as Judas certainly did and Jesus relates these various believers in the parable of the sower in Luke 8:11-15. Not many believers actually make it through God’s sanctification process and this is why it is referred to as the narrow gate. “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7:13-14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ If a believer does surrender their will to God’s purification process they now become a disciple since they are now learning scripture directly from Jesus Himself. Jesus will now teach His disciple how to live just as He did since He now dwells inside His true children. A disciple means “a student who learns from his teacher.” This is why scripture relates that Jesus is our one and only teacher and this is also why the vast majority of religions and preachers are nothing more then false prophets who are only leading believers astray. It is during the sanctification process that the Holy Spirit teaches us how to live holy and righteously just as God commanded and He does this by showing us how to overcome our sins. Sanctification is kind of similar to what Jesus endured in the wilderness for 40 days since the Spirit has us confront the devil’s temptations head on. If you end up completing God’s purification process you are now a Christian who is sanctified in truth and you are a disciple of Jesus Christ who can no longer sin. This is when you are actually born again since a child born of God is someone who lives “exactly like Christ” and they do not sin. This is how the term Christian came about since the original disciples lived exactly like Christ. Most overlook how Jesus had to train his twelve chosen disciples for three years before they could become His apostles. An apostle means someone who is sent, a messenger. Many overlook the prayer that Jesus made for His disciples in John 17:6-19 where He asked His Father to sanctify His disciples in truth. So the disciples had to be sanctified in truth before Jesus could use them as His apostles, His messengers. So an apostle is someone who is a messenger from God and they possess the power of God to prove their anointment. Realize that God did not instruct us or command us to explain scripture to anyone but yet most are foolishly believing that it is their duty to try and lead others to Jesus. Many deceived believers do not understand that the Great Commission was for God’s chosen disciples who were trained by Jesus and who were sanctified in God’s truth. It was not meant for every believer of Jesus Christ to teach and that is simply a lie that is being fabricated by the devil’s many false ministers. So you might now begin to understand why the majority of believers are nothing more then children of the devil since they are ignorantly blaspheming the Spirit of truth when they willingly relate their misguided beliefs. These ignorant souls are simply spreading lies and condemning themselves since they were never taught scripture by Jesus nor where they sanctified in God’s truth. “It is written in the prophets, ‘And they shall all be taught by God.’ Therefore everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me.” ‭‭John‬ ‭6:45‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ ‬”My brethren, let not many of you become teachers, knowing that we shall receive a stricter judgment. For we all stumble in many things. If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body.” ‭‭James‬ ‭3:1-2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ Many believers are ignorantly believing that Jesus came to forgive our past, present and future sins. This spoken untruth is having people believe that they can continue in a life of sin and then simply repent and God will forgive them over and over. This is why many believe that if they repent just before they die then Jesus will save their sinful soul. This twisted reasoning would mean that you can continue to steal and then simply repent. You can then lie and then repent. You can then murder and simply repent. You can keep committing whatever sin you desire and simply repent afterwards and you will always be forgiven. This is simply nonsense that is fabricated by the devil to make you believe that you will always sin. “Jesus answered and said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭5:31-32‬ ‭NKJV‬ Jesus did not come to call on the righteous since a righteous person does not sin. Jesus came to call sinners to repentance which meant for sinners to stop sinning entirely and to start living holy and righteously just as God commanded. Jesus came to forgive us of the sins that we have already committed and this occurs at the moment that we repent of our sins and we accept Jesus and His Holy Spirit into our life. We must then submit to God’s purification process and allow the Holy Spirit to sanctify our heart in God’s truth so that we could overcome the sin and the sicknesses that we possess in our lives. Once again this can only be achieved by understanding how to test the Spirits as commanded in 1 John 4. So a Christian is someone who is sanctified in truth and they can easily discern a true Christian from a deceived believer in seconds since they now possess the mind of Christ and they are able to judge all things. They can no longer sin nor can they ever get sick since they are now born of God and the devil can no longer touch them with his afflictions. I have overcome sin and sickness in my own life and this is why God has me relating His blessings in my writings and in my videos. “These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one. For “who has known the mind of the LORD that he may instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ.” ‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭2:13-16‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ “We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him.” ‭‭I John‬ ‭5:18‬ ‭NKJV

Judge not lest you be judged, with what measure you judge it will be measured back to you. Matt 7. I have no stones to throw.

[@mikerutkowski7265]

@@aprilherreid4595 well you just proved that your clueless soul has no idea what scripture is relating and that your soul belongs to the devil and not to God. “‘You shall do no injustice in judgment. You shall not be partial to the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty. In righteousness you shall judge your neighbor.” ‭‭Leviticus‬ ‭19:15‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ And with your own words you have proven that you do not possess the Holy Spirit and of Jesus Christ nor do you understand what scripture is even relating since it is the duty of a Christian to judge everyone that they may encounter. Anyone who is living by the Spirit and who understands how to test the Spirits is now someone who is able to communicate directly with Jesus Himself. Jesus of course knows what dwells inside everyone’s heart and He will gladly pass this information onto His true followers. For example, Jesus will relate whether someone truly believes or not or if someone is saved or not. Jesus will tell you if someone has blasphemed the Spirit or if someone is completely misguided in their beliefs. Jesus will even tell you if He appointed a particular person to spread His word or if they are simply a false prophet. All you need to do is to ask Him and He will gladly relate these things to you. This is what it means to possess the mind of Christ and to have the ability to judge everyone and everything. “These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one. For “who has known the mind of the LORD that he may instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ.” ‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭2:13-16‬ ‭NKJV “Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world will be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters? Do you not know that we shall judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life? If then you have judgments concerning things pertaining to this life, do you appoint those who are least esteemed by the church to judge? I say this to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you, not even one, who will be able to judge between his brethren?” ‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭6:2-5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ Realize that just because someone claims to believe in Jesus Christ does not mean that they are a Christian nor does it even make them a believer since even demons also believe. Scripture relates how Jesus openly rebuked and criticized the Pharisees and the Sadducees and yet most fail to realize that these were supposedly faithful believers. So I speak no differently then Jesus did when He confronted the ignorant believers of His time. You and many like yourself clearly overlook how Jesus got angry and how He openly rebuked and criticized those who claimed to know God and scripture. When Jesus exposed their sin and their unbelief Jesus used words such as fools, foolish ones, evil, wicked, heathens, hypocrites, brood of vipers, son of hell and your father is the devil. The people back then did not like to hear how sinful they were and this why they hated Jesus so much and this is why they had Jesus crucified. So it is quite obvious that the lost and deceived believers of today are no different then the misguided believers back since both clearly do not like to have their sin and their unbelief exposed. This is the blessing that every true Christian possesses and there are very very few of us who are a true Christian. You of course, certainly are not a Christian since you have clearly proven that you do not possess the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ and you are nothing more then an ignorant believer who has been deceived by the devil and his lies.

[@ReyChurchill]

Why did Timothy in scripture then have stomach problems and Paul told him to drink wine to cure it?

[@mikerutkowski7265]

@@ReyChurchill In Deuteronomy 28 God related His blessings for those who would obey Him and the curses that would fall upon anyone who chooses to live in sin and disobedience. Every sickness is definitely listed as a curse, so having any kind of affliction clearly reveals that you are someone who still possesses sin and disobedience in their life. “If you do not carefully observe all the words of this law that are written in this book, that you may fear this glorious and awesome name, THE Lord YOUR GOD, then the LORD will bring upon you and your descendants extraordinary plagues-great and prolonged plagues-and serious and prolonged sicknesses. Moreover He will bring back on you all the diseases of Egypt, of which you were afraid, and they shall cling to you. Also EVERY sickness and EVERY plague, which is not written in this Book of the Law, will the LORD bring upon you until you are destroyed.” ‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭28:58-61‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ Now since there are over 2000 different bible versions that offer different translations, interpretations and meanings many are foolishly believing that God is the one who makes people sick or that sin and sickness will always be a part of this life. To prove my point, I will present a few examples of how certain translations are leading many astray. “The Lord said to him, “Who gave human beings their mouths? Who makes them deaf or mute? Who gives them sight or makes them blind? Is it not I, the Lord?” Exodus‬ ‭4:11 NIV‬‬ So if you read this version of the Bible, it is basically relating that God makes human beings blind, deaf or mute. But now I will use a different Bible version and show you how that it is translated. “So the LORD said to him, “Who has made man’s mouth? Or who makes the mute, the deaf, the seeing, or the blind? Have not I, the LORD?” Exodus‬ ‭4:11 NKJV‬‬ So when you read this version it is not stating that God makes people mute, deaf or blind but that God made the individual, whether they are someone who is deaf, mute or blind. God loves us and He desires us to be healthy for He is the God who heals us, so why would a God who loves us and who desires to heal us want to make us sick or disabled? ”If you diligently heed the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I am the Lord who heals you.”“ ‭‭Exodus‬ ‭15‬:‭26‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ Now I will give you a few other scriptures that ignorant souls often misrepresent in order to justify the afflictions in their lives and they are 1 Timothy 5:23 and Galatians 4:13. Realize that most are probably reading from a bible version that chose to use the term sickness instead of the word infirmity. “Don’t drink only water. You ought to drink a little wine for the sake of your stomach because you are sick so often.” ‭‭1 Timothy‬ ‭5:23‬ ‭NLT‬ “No longer drink only water, but use a little wine for your stomach’s sake and your frequent infirmities.” I Timothy‬ ‭5:23‬ ‭NKJV‬‬‬ “Surely you remember that I was sick when I first brought you the Good News.” ‭‭Galatians‬ ‭4:13‬ ‭NLT “You know that because of physical infirmity I preached the gospel to you at the first.” Galatians‬ ‭4:13‬ ‭NKJV Where some versions choose to use the word infirmity, which can mean a physical weakness or a lack of strength, others choose to insert sick. Take special note of the word infirmity since I will show how a Bible translators beliefs factored into the translation they were presenting and I will offer 2 Corinthians 11 about the infirmities that Paul was experiencing to prove my point. First let’s take note of the thorn in the flesh scripture since many desire to believe that our Lord gave Paul a sickness. The Acts scriptures clearly relate how the apostles healed everyone who came to them in faith, so how could someone foolishly believe that Paul possessed a sickness or a disability in his own life, especially when Acts 28 clearly relates how Paul was bitten by a venomous snake and yet it did him no harm. Ask how could Paul heal so many people but not be able to heal himself and you may begin to understand that only an unbelieving soul would choose to believe that Paul possessed a sickness or a disability in his life! What many overlook is that right after Jesus was baptized in the Holy Spirit, He then fasted in the wilderness for forty days where he was tested by Satan. Why did Jesus actually do this, well because it made Him more powerful and stronger in the Holy Spirit, so just as Jesus suffered by being tested by Satan, Jesus then allowed Satan to test Paul in order to make him stronger in His Holy Spirit. So what does a thorn in the flesh actually do, well it may cause some discomfort, pain or suffering. ”Now when the devil had ended every temptation, he departed from Him until an opportune time. Then Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and news of Him went out through all the surrounding region.“ ‭‭Luke‬ ‭4‬:‭13‬-‭14‬ NKJV So now that you have a better understanding, read these Corinthians scriptures. “And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure. Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me. And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” ‭‭II Corinthians‬ ‭12:7-10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ “From the Jews five times I received forty stripes minus one. Three times I was beaten with rods; once I was stoned; three times I was shipwrecked; a night and a day I have been in the deep; in journeys often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils of my own countrymen, in perils of the Gentiles, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren; in weariness and toil, in sleeplessness often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness- besides the other things, what comes upon me daily: my deep concern for all the churches. Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is made to stumble, and I do not burn with indignation? If I must boast, I will boast in the things which concern my infirmity.” ‭‭II Corinthians‬ ‭11:24-30‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ These were all things that were causing Paul to be physically weak but they certainly were not a sickness or a disability. Realize that we are all born in sin and ignorance since we live in a sinful fallen world that is ruled by the devil and the reason why a child may be born blind, sick or whatever is because their parents were not following God’s commands wholeheartedly and they passed their sin and their demons onto their children. When parents live in sin they give Satan access to infect their children with whatever sickness or disability they desire and what our doctors call hereditary or genetics is actually nothing more then a parent’s sins being passed onto their children through a demon spirit. “And the LORD passed before him and proclaimed, “The LORD, the LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abounding in goodness and truth, keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children and the children’s children to the third and the fourth generation.” Exodus‬ ‭34:6-7‬ ‭NKJV‬ Ignorance of truth is why many also misrepresent the John 9 scripture about the man being born blind since many mistakenly believe that it is relating that God will make people sick in order to display His glory. Ask why a God who loves you and who desires to heal would want to make you sick? By believing that God would make someone sick in order to display His glory you are trying to claim that God makes people sick in order to show off His power, so you are basically calling God a cold hearted monster that plays favoritism. These same misguided souls like to claim that God does heal but that His healing is not for everyone and this reasoning makes zero sense since scripture clearly states that showing partially or favoritism is a sin. So God certainly is not going to sin by picking and choosing who He desires to heal and this is why Jesus healed everyone who came to Him in faith and His apostles did the same. “And believers were increasingly added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women, so that they brought the sick out into the streets and laid them on beds and couches, that at least the shadow of Peter passing by might fall on some of them. Also a multitude gathered from the surrounding cities to Jerusalem, bringing sick people and those who were tormented by unclean spirits, AND THEY WERE ALL HEALED.” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭5:14-16‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ Finally, most simply will not believe that overcoming sin and sickness are possible or that it is sin that allows sickness to enter our lives and they deny the very words spoken by Jesus Himself. “Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, “See, you have been made well. Sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon you.” ‭‭John‬ ‭5:14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ “Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.” ‭‭Mark‬ ‭9:23‬ ‭NKJV
