2 | 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 |

3 | is cancer from the devil? | Psalm | mamayama1 | 218839 | ||
last night I went to a wednesday church meeting, (somethiong I dont usually do) Since I was there 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 sanswer 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 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 then getting it back as a different type? | ||||||
4 | is cancer from the devil? | Psalm | AWilliamson | 218842 | ||
Dear Mamayama1, We live in a groaning creation, sin has caused havoc throughout the world. The creation has been subjected to futility because of Adam's sin - suffering and sin are linked this much. When we come to Christ, and repent of our sins and recognise the provision he has made for us in His death on the cross -we are saved, redeemed, cleansed from sin. While our spirits and souls have been redeemed our bodies still await Christ's return, then we will enter into the good of complete redemption (our body will be liberated from corruption and morality and will be fashioned like Christ's own body of glory). Read Romans 8, 1 Corinthians 15, Philippians 3. As we do not have redeemed bodies presently we are subjected to the same trials and diseases as anyone else. We can be in weak health (as Timothy was). We can be sick near to death (as Epaphroditus was - Philippians 2). John the Apostle wrote to Gaius in 3 John and said (v2) "Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul." (ESV) We can see from this verse that physical condition and spiritual condition do not necessarily correlate, John knew that this man was prospering in his soul but he prayed that he might also prosper in body. The Lord certainly brings things into our lives to teach us lessons and so that we may learn more about Him in the School of God. If we walk close to him in all our trials we will find a joy and a peace that this world can never give. Hope this might help a little Praying for your blessing, Andrew P.S. The Lord is in control, the devil cannot do anything without the Lord allowing it (see Job 1). The devil "tempts" to bring out the bad in us, the Lord "tests"to bring out the good in us. Without doubt the same situation can give rise to both the devil tempting and the Lord testing. |
