Subject: Confused |
Bible Note: Mitch Like so many you are confused. The teaching of prosperity and health appeals to our base instincts. We are physical people and our reality is physical, so something that will make our physical existence better sounds good. Many promise healing today. Some are of God and their message is always the same. If God wills you will be healed to His glory and honor. However there are others that also promise and healing and their message is always the same, God has to heal you. Come to ME and let ME lay hands on you and you will be healed. If you really listen to what they are saying you will hear them say God has to perform and they are ring master. Yes they give God the credit for healing but they take credit for controlling God. Before you go all crazy over this, think about what these men really say not what you think you heard. Satan is no fool if he can get people thinking a formula, a man, or some special touch will heal people and get their minds of the true living God he will take that opportunity in a instant. Christianity, our salvation and Jesus are not about this life or whether we are healed or not. Christianity is about our spiritual wellbeing, it is about eternity and where we will spend eternity. We don’t follow Jesus because he will make us rich, we don’t follow Jesus because he has promised to heal our every sickness. We follow Jesus because He is the true and living God and he has promised us life eternal in His presence. Jesus told us there will many signs and wonders done by false prophets in the end times. In fact one day this world will see a man mortally wounded and dead arise and the word says the whole world will follow him. If you follow after signs and wonders I promise you sooner or later you will be deceived and you very soul lost. Instead follow hard after the living Word and let the truth of the living God keep you. EdB |
