1 | Why did I get Cancer? | Psalm | azurelaw | 218834 | ||
Dear mamayama1, This is a difficult question for us - fallible human - to answer. I've always wondered about Job's illness that he might have got cancer, too. How could any of us repeat what Job's friends did to him by reasoning for God? However, let us hold onto God's mercy and His salvation that we do not loose heart. May I offer you Psalm 103 and Psalm 23 in your time of difficulties and affliction that I cannot understand (But Jesus our Saviour does). You will be remembered in my prayers. Shalom Azure |

2 | is cancer from the devil | Psalm | mamayama1 | 218840 | ||
last night I went to a wednesday church meeting, (somethiong I dont usually do) I asked why I keep getting Cancer (my 3rd time) The answer i got was the Lord does not give us bad things he Loves Us and only wants good for us. I was told it came from the devil... I am confused with this answer because I always thought the devil can not create, he can trick us and imitate, If the devil gave me the cancer, wouldn't that be him "creating" the illness in me? The only way i can comprehend getting cancer from the devil would be that the devil lured me into a situation where I exposed myself to cancer? Also, Thank you for remembering me in your Prayers. I am not afraid of the cancer and I dont feel sorry for myself or anything like that. The reason Im even asked the question at the wednesday meeting is because the subject of cancer came up and this is the third time i have cancer. I wonder why it keeps coming back in different places (breast, lung, lymph) If the Lord wants me to come home and is using cancer to get me there I wonder why I keep getting free of the cancer. | ||||||
3 | is cancer from the devil | Psalm | DocTrinsograce | 218843 | ||
"Do not even such things as are most bitter to the flesh, tend to awaken Christians to faith and prayer, to a sight of the emptiness of this world, and the fadingness of the best it yield? Doth not God by these things (ofttimes) call our sins to remembrance, and provoke us to amendment of life? How then can we be offended at things by which we reap so much good? ... Therefore if mine enemy hunger, let me feed him; if he thirst, let me give him drink. Now in order to do this, (1) We must see good in that, in which other men can see none. (2) We must pass by those injuries that other men would revenge. (2) We must show we have grace, and that we are made to bear what other men are not acquainted with. (4) Many of our graces are kept alive, by those very things that are the death of other men's souls ... The devil, (they say) is good when he is pleased; but Christ and His saints, when displeased." --John Bunyan "There is no attribute of God more comforting to His children than the doctrine of Divine Sovereignty. Under the most adverse circumstances, in the most severe troubles, they believe that Sovereignty hath ordained their afflictions, that Sovereignty overrules them, and that Sovereignty will sanctify them all. There is nothing for which the children of God ought more earnestly to contend than the dominion of their Master over all creation -- the kingship of God over all the works of His own hands -- the throne of God, and His right to sit upon that throne. On the other hand, there is no doctrine more hated by worldlings, no truth of which they have made such a foot-ball, as the great, stupendous, but yet most certain doctrine of the Sovereignty of the infinite Jehovah. Men will allow God to be everywhere except on His throne. They will allow Him to be in His workshop to fashion worlds and to make stars. They will allow Him to be in His almonry to dispense His alms and bestow His bounties. They will allow Him to sustain the earth and bear up the pillars thereof, or light the lamps of heaven, or rule the waves of the ever-moving ocean; but when God ascends His throne, His creatures then gnash their teeth; and when we proclaim an enthroned God, and His right to do as He wills with His own, to dispose of His creatures as He thinks well, without consulting them in the matter, then it is that we are hissed and execrated, and then it is that men turn a deaf ear to us, for God on His throne is not the God they love. They love Him anywhere better than they do when He sits with his scepter in His hand and His crown upon His head. But it is God upon the throne that we love to preach. It is God upon His throne whom we trust. It is God upon His throne of whom we have been singing this morning; and it is God upon His throne of whom we shall speak in this discourse." --Charles H. Spurgeon |
