Hindrances to Faith and Healing– 2

Hin­drances to Faith Brings Hin­drances to Healing

Part 1 — Overview: sin, dis­obe­di­ence to the voice of god or God’s word, will bring Hin­drances to Healing.

More than ever, civ­i­liza­tion is now dri­ven by the spirit of rebel­lion, and the pur­suit of “per­sonal free­doms” and “indi­vid­ual rights.”

Other areas that bring Hin­drances to Faith and Hin­drances to Healing:

  • Not sub­mit­ting to author­ity (your boss, min­is­ter, etc.)
  • Not sub­mit­ting to her husband
  • Not sub­mit­ting to government
  • Not sub­mit­ting to parents

“Let every soul be sub­ject unto the higher power” — The gov­ern­ing authorities.

Not sub­mit­ting to gov­ern­ment sys­tem.  “For there is no pwoer but god; the pow­ers that are ordained of God.” Romans 13:1Romans 13:1
Eng­lish: King James Ver­sion (1611) — KJV

13 1 Let every soul be sub­ject unto the higher pow­ers. For there is no power but of God: the pow­ers that be are ordained of God. ordained: or, ordered  

WP-Bible plu­gin

Christ con­tin­u­ally spoke about God’s gov­ern­ment being estab­lished on earth. Chris­tians yield to and obey—submit them­selves to — gov­ern­ment authorities!

As Chris­tians you are sub­ject to obey the appointed author­i­ties over us as long as it does not vio­late the laws of God.  When a Chris­t­ian refuses to obey the appointed author­i­ties, then you are resist­ing and dis­obey­ing God!

Rulers are ser­vants of God (even if pagan) since God ordained them with pow­ers to be gov­ern­ing author­i­ties over soci­ety.  And to vio­late civil law are major hin­drances to faith and hin­drances to healing.

The Word of God is very strong in regards to chil­dren not obey­ing par­ents.  Chil­dren, obey your par­ents in the Lord: for this is right. Hon­our thy father  and mother; which is the first com­mand­ment with promise; That it may be well  with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth, EPH 6:1–3EPH 6:1–3
Eng­lish: King James Ver­sion (1611) — KJV

This is what Almighty God, who designed the fam­ily, has to say about the fam­ily.  Chil­dren learn obe­di­ence at home.  If they don’t, they will not learn it in the world or in soci­ety.  Chil­dren must learn to see that their par­ents are train­ing them and bring­ing them up in “the nur­ture and admo­ni­tion of the Lord.  There­fore, it is impor­tant for us to receive these direc­tives as the Word of the
liv­ing God, not as the opin­ions of some man.

Con­clu­sion:

We are to obey the voice of God, his word and the laws in our soci­ety regard­less if the rulers are fol­low­ers of God or not as long as the laws are not against God.

Hindrances To Faith and Healing — 1

It is impos­si­ble to please the Lord with­out faith

Heb. 11:6Heb. 11:6
Eng­lish: King James Ver­sion (1611) — KJV

6 But with­out faith it is impos­si­ble to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that dili­gently seek him.  

WP-Bible plu­gin
“But with­out faith it is impos­si­ble to please him; for he that cometh to God must believe that he is a rewarder of them that dili­gently seek him.”

The clue here is seek­ing him with faith and not allow­ing doubt and unbe­lief enter or rule your mind.

Bib­li­cal Faith

It is impor­tant to walk and talk and live in bib­li­cal faith.  Bib­li­cal faith is an absolute neces­sity to receive any­thing from God.  Could that be the pos­si­ble rea­son for unan­swered prayers?

Bib­li­cal faith is sim­ply believ­ing that God meant what He Said.

Are you stand­ing for loved one for sal­va­tion?  Is there doubt and unbe­lief because of look­ing at the nat­ural and not the super­nat­ural or what you can­not see happening?

Jesus said, “There­fore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.” Mark 11:24Mark 11:24
Eng­lish: King James Ver­sion (1611) — KJV

24 There­fore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.  

WP-Bible plu­gin

Faith is believ­ing with­out evi­dence of any­thing hap­pen­ing but believ­ing, because of who our father in heaven is, the cre­ator of the uni­verse, is work­ing on our behalf.  Doubt and unbe­lief is a big inhibitor.

How about giv­ing up or mur­mur­ing and com­plain­ing to God?

Faith is prais­ing the Lord, after you have prayed to him or made your need known, that it is already done.  It is a know­ing and a trust in the Father of Heaven.

Ene­mies of Faith

Satan will come to try to steal and that is where dis­cern­ment comes into play.  Who is talk­ing to you?  Is it Satan or God when stand­ing on a promise, or ask God, etc.

Those who do not believe in God can be ene­mies of faith and some­times other chris­tians can be ene­mies of faith through their doubt and unbelief.

The rea­son you have trou­ble believ­ing is you don’t want to believe.  Did you have an earthly father who made promises but never car­ried them out and so afraid God will do the same?

How about rea­son­ing it away.  Many peo­ple are very intel­lec­tual and it gets in the way.  It might not make sense to them but a per­son, who is intel­lec­tual, needs to clear that thought way of life out and believe.

Abid­ing Faith

So then faith cometh by hear­ing, and hear­ing the word of God.” Roman 10:17man 10:17
Eng­lish: King James Ver­sion (1611) — KJV

Izbrano poglavje ne obstaja!

WP-Bible plu­gin

To stand in faith means to abide in Him.  Abid­ing faith does not mean church mem­ber­ship but those liv­ing in the Word of God — Abid­ing Faith.

If your faith is waver­ing, the best way to com­bat the doubt and unbe­lief, is get the word out and stand and declare and decree His word out loud.  That can really help build faith.

It is get­ting in His word of His promises and stand­ing on the promises of God, if it is for sal­va­tion of a loved one or stand­ing for heal­ing.  Stand and decree His Word to the heav­ens or med­i­tate on his word — that is abid­ing in Christ.  Christ is the Word accord­ing to John 1.

The King­dom of God

Sec­ond is “seek­ing the King­dom of God and his right­eous­ness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Matt. 6:33Matt. 6:33
Eng­lish: King James Ver­sion (1611) — KJV

33 But seek ye first the king­dom of God, and his right­eous­ness; and all these things shall be added unto you.  

WP-Bible plu­gin
.

We need to seek His direc­tion and plan to carry out the plan of God or ask you have made to how to ful­fill it.  Many times there are actions we have to do but it takes abid­ing in Him to know His plan and steps.

Are you seek­ing answers but still liv­ing in your own lust?  “Ye ask,a nd receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may con­sume it upon your lusts,” James 4:3James 4:3
Eng­lish: King James Ver­sion (1611) — KJV

3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may con­sume it upon your lusts. lusts: or, plea­sures  

WP-Bible plu­gin
.  This is done not in faith.

Those who abide in Christ and His Word abides.

Another Hin­der­ances of Faith is Con­dem­na­tion — Hin­drances to Healing

1 John 3:21–221 John 3:21–22
Eng­lish: King James Ver­sion (1611) — KJV

21 Beloved, if our heart con­demn us not, then have we con­fi­dence toward God. 22 And what­so­ever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his com­mand­ments, and do those things that are pleas­ing in his sight.  

WP-Bible plu­gin
“If our heart con­demns us not, then we have con­fi­dence toward God.  And what­so­ever we ask, we receive of hm, because we keep his com­mand­ments, and do those things that are pleas­ing in his sight.”

Until you meet his con­di­tions, keep his com­mand­ments, abide in him, then, faith will come to believe.  That means heal­ing in your life, stand­ing for some­thing that is important.

God’s power is enough to heal, as well as to save any­one and every­body but his promises is to heal those who keep His com­mand­ments and walk in the statutes.

God does heal unbe­liev­ers because God is using it to bring them to salvation.

Con­clu­sion of Part 1:

Liv­ing in sin, dis­obe­di­ence to God’s voice or His word, are hin­drances to faith.

Paul’s Thorn in the Flesh

Many believ­ers believe  Paul’s Thorn in the Flesh is not sick­ness and disease.

Lest I should be exalted above mea­sure through the abun­dance of the rev­e­la­tions, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the mes­sen­ger of Satan to buf­fet me, lest I should be exalted above mea­sure. For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. And he said unto me, My grace is suf­fi­cient for thee: for my strength is made per­fect in weak­ness. Most gladly there­fore will I rather glory in my infir­mi­ties, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” 2 Cor. 12:7– 92 Cor. 12:7– 9
Eng­lish: King James Ver­sion (1611) — KJV

.

There is no back­ing in scrip­ture that Paul’s Thorn in the Flesh was due to sick­ness.  Infir­mi­ties here “I take plea­sure in  infir­mi­ties,” in reproaches, in neces­si­ties, in per­se­cu­tions, in dis­tresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am  weak2, then I am strong.  What “infir­mity of the flesh” did Paul preach the gospel through? Not sick­ness, he preached through the con­se­quences of “reproaches”, “per­se­cu­tions”, and “dis­tresses for Christ’s sake:” (v10), and that is what his “thorn” was, peo­ple, who were inspired by “the
mes­sen­ger of Satan”, per­se­cut­ing and reproach­ing him.

Lets look at the Old Tes­ta­ment since the Old Tes­ta­ment and New Tes­ta­ment have har­mony with each other.

In Num­bers 33:55Num­bers 33:55
Eng­lish: King James Ver­sion (1611) — KJV

55 But if ye will not drive out the inhab­i­tants of the land from before you; then it shall come to pass, that those which ye let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell.  

WP-Bible plu­gin
, the Israelites warned, “If ye will not drive out the inhab­i­tants of the land from before you; then it shall come to pass, that those which ye let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes, and THORNS IN YOUR SIDES.”

This warn­ing is repeated in Joshua 23:13Joshua 23:13
Eng­lish: King James Ver­sion (1611) — KJV

13 Know for a cer­tainty that the LORD your God will no more drive out any of these nations from before you; but they shall be snares and traps unto you, and scourges in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until ye per­ish from off this good land which the LORD your God hath given you.  

WP-Bible plu­gin
and in Judges 2:3Judges 2:3
Eng­lish: King James Ver­sion (1611) — KJV

3 Where­fore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare unto you.  

WP-Bible plu­gin
. Thus the thorn refers, not to some­thing within the body, but to annoy­ances from with­out, caused by peo­ple.  Paul speaks of his par­tic­u­lar thorn as being “the mes­sen­ger of Satan to buf­fet me.”

The word “buf­fet” means to strike as with the hand; to con­tend with.

His ref­er­ence to “buf­fet­ing” would refer more eas­ily to the beat­ings, ston­ing, and the like which he received after he preached the Gospel from city to city, than to any pos­si­ble sick­ness in his own body.

This mis­con­cep­tion within the body of christ only hin­der or destroy the faith of God’s peo­ple cre­at­ing doubt and unbe­lief in God’s Word for healing.

Let us draw near with a true heart in full assur­ance of faith, hav­ing our hearts sprin­kled from an evil con­science, and our bod­ies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the pro­fes­sion of our faith with­out waver­ing; (for he is faith­ful that promised;)” Heb. 10:22,23Heb. 10:22,23
Eng­lish: King James Ver­sion (1611) — KJV

22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assur­ance of faith, hav­ing our hearts sprin­kled from an evil con­science, and our bod­ies washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold fast the pro­fes­sion of our faith with­out waver­ing;

Sick­ness many times is a chas­ten­ing or pun­ish­ment from God because of our habit­ual sin (either per­sonal or gen­er­a­tional), but, through Jesus Christ, we can still claim heal­ing by repent­ing and restor­ing our fel­low­ship with God. But to say God will never pun­ish with­out let­ting us know what it is for and will not con­tinue to pun­ish when we have learned our lesson.

What kind of God, who loved us so much and sent his son to die for us, would do such a thing!

Con­clu­sion:

What mis­con­cep­tion do you believe that you’ve learned from man and have not explored the scrip­tures for yourself.

Father God, for­give me for believ­ing the mis­con­cep­tion of Paul’s thorn as sick­ness and dis­ease.  I repent and renounce that lie, for doubt and unbe­lief and I com­mand these spir­its to go so that my faith can grow.  Father God, help me to believe your word and believe your truth about heal­ing today by read­ing your word.  Amen

Lay hands on the sick

(f) Wrong, men­tal and emo­tional habits, or should we say wrong spir­i­tual habits. Fears, wor­ries, hatred, fail­ure to find rest and peace and trust in Christ.

13. Waiver­ing in their faith.  When not healed, they doubt God’s love for them.

God is Our Righteous Judge

Dis­ease does not come from God or Jesus but from Satan

God, being the Law-giver, the Right­eous Judge, and the orig­i­na­tor of the Law of Sow­ing and Reap­ing, takes the respon­si­bil­ity for the afflic­tion of those who are in sin. In this sense does God send afflic­tion, sick­ness and dis­ease, etc.?  No, sin, dis­ease, sick­ness, death comes from God but is a curse.  Satan became a curse and puts a curse on us and Satan is the execu­tor of the Law.  When we sin gives Satan the legal right to inflict sick­ness and disease.

Flesh dies and spirit lives.  We have a choice to choose walk­ing and liv­ing in the flesh or in the spirit.

God promises to heal every sick­ness and dis­ease, and promises that no dis­eases shall be upon us, then we should live in divine health.

Sin and Sick­ness are two fruits from the same tree

Psalms 103:2–6 — 2Psalms 103:2–6 — 2
Eng­lish: King James Ver­sion (1611) — KJV

2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and for­get not all his ben­e­fits: 3 Who for­giveth all thine iniq­ui­ties; who healeth all thy dis­eases; 4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruc­tion; who crowneth thee with lov­ingkind­ness and ten­der mer­cies; 5 Who sat­is­fi­eth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s. 6 The LORD exe­cuteth right­eous­ness and judg­ment for all that are oppressed.

When we sin habit­u­ally and con­tin­u­ally, Satan is the accuser and goes to the throne of God to get per­mis­sion to inflict us because Satan is the execu­tor of the Law of God.

God sent Jesus to bring Restora­tion and Healing

If Jesus is the full expres­sion of God, then why did Jesus Never put sick­ness on even one per­son? Why did he always remove sick­ness and dis­ease, rather than put it upon any­one? Jesus had “heal­ing ser­vices” every­day, NOT ONCE did He EVER tell any­one to keep their sick­ness or dis­ease. Any time He men­tioned the cause of sick­ness or dis­ease, He always attrib­uted it to Satan.

Heal­ing is Always God’s Will

It is part of the atone­ment in the old tes­ta­ment as well as in the new testament.

What Keeps Us From Get­ting Healed?

The rea­son any­one is not saved or healed is answered above, they would not do what it takes to find out what to do to be saved or healed, or if they did find out, they would not live by it. It does take faith and the stealer of faith is doubt and unbe­lief which comes from the Devil.

Three Steps to Action:
A. Rev­e­la­tion– Enlight­en­ment con­cern­ing God’s Will (Oh, that’s what God wants me to do, to be, etc.)
B. Con­vic­tion– deter­min­ing where you are in ful­fill­ing God’s Will (Oh, I’m not any­where near that.)
C. Action– com­plet­ing the ful­fill­ment of God’s Will (I must do…)

Scrip­tural Rea­sons God Heals

Psalm 9 1:14–16 — 14. Because he hath set his love upon me there­fore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. 15. He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trou­ble; I will deliver him, and hon­our ham 16. With long life will I sat­isfy him and shew him my sal­va­tion. (KJV)

In Deuteron­omy 28 we are told what will hap­pen if we obey God and what will hap­pen if we dis­obey God. Heal­ing of every sick­ness and dis­ease is under the bless­ings listed if we obey God and those same sick­nesses and dis­eases are listed as the curse that shall come upon us if we do not obey God. If you have sinned and became sick or dis­eased, it is an easy thing to repent, receive for­give­ness and be healed.

Con­clu­sion:

The very word used in the Bible for sal­va­tion means health, heal­ing, deliv­er­ance, pros­per­ity, peace, and whole­ness. Sal­va­tion is the all-inclusive word in the Bible which clearly defines Gods atti­tude and will for us.

Guilt Can Lead to Addiction

Did you know if you’ve been pro­grammed with guilt to believe a lie you are respon­si­ble for other people’s hap­pi­ness which can bring stress lead­ing to addic­tions to sweets and other types of addic­tions to deal with the stress which is a false path­way to peace and not God’s way to deal with peace?

Not only does guilt lead to addic­tion but the spir­i­tual root issues is a need for love.  Many times chil­dren grow up in homes that are con­di­tional and full of guilt.  The child grows up with a lot of self con­dem­na­tion and dri­ven­ness to per­fec­tion to find love and acceptance.

Why Was Job Tested? P1

Job’s Open Door For Attack From Satan

Proverbs 26:2Proverbs 26:2
Eng­lish: King James Ver­sion (1611) — KJV

2 As the bird by wan­der­ing, as the swal­low by fly­ing, so the curse cause­less shall not come.  

WP-Bible plu­gin
“… A Curse Cause­less Can­not Come…”

Job was said to be “per­fect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.” (Job 1:1Job 1:1
Eng­lish: King James Ver­sion (1611) — KJV

The Book of Job 1 1 There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was per­fect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.  

WP-Bible plu­gin
) “Per­fect” doesn’t mean he never sinned, but it means one who holds noth­ing back from God.

He was totally sin­cere and ded­i­cated to God. “Upright” refers to his char­ac­ter. He lived in such an hon­est way that every­one who knew him respected him.

Satan’s Legal Right Inflict Job

As you can see from the scrip­ture above (Proverbs 26:2Proverbs 26:2
Eng­lish: King James Ver­sion (1611) — KJV

2 As the bird by wan­der­ing, as the swal­low by fly­ing, so the curse cause­less shall not come.  

WP-Bible plu­gin
) — that means a curse can­not come on you unless you have an open door — sin and Job’s sin was a spirit of fear.  What was Job’s open door for the enemy to have legal right?

A Curse Cause­less Can­not Come

Heb “cause­less curse” (KJV sim­i­lar) describes an unde­served curse (cf. NIV, NRSV). The Hebrew word trans­lated “cause­less” means (khanan); it means “with­out cause; gra­tu­itous.”  Read Deut. 28 Bless­ings and Curses.

His chil­dren (all 10) did not serve the Lord.  Did he have a spirit of fear of man and did not dis­ci­pline them? He had fear for his chil­dren.  Fear is the oppo­site of faith and his fear was a form of worry which is not from God.

Job Feared Came Upon Him

Let us note the words of Job: “For the thing which I fear cometh upon me, and that which I am afraid of cometh unto me” (3:25). What this verse reveals to us is of tremen­dous sig­nif­i­cance. Before these ter­ri­ble things hap­pened to him, Job already had had fear for his  chil­dren.  They were not right­eous like him but were sin­ners.  Instead of Trust­ing the Lord for his Chil­dren, he sac­ri­ficed for their sins.

Job 1:5Job 1:5
Eng­lish: King James Ver­sion (1611) — KJV

5 And it was so, when the days of their feast­ing were gone about, that Job sent and sanc­ti­fied them, and rose up early in the morn­ing, and offered burnt offer­ings accord­ing to the num­ber of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job con­tin­u­ally. con­tin­u­ally: Heb. all the days  

WP-Bible plu­gin
says that Job was always offer­ing sac­ri­fices on behalf of his sons in case they had sinned.  His chil­dren were liv­ing a hyp­o­crit­i­cal, sex­u­ally sin­ful, drunken, God hat­ing lives.

Did his chil­dren honor Job?  Prov. 4:1, Col. 3:20Col. 3:20
Eng­lish: King James Ver­sion (1611) — KJV

20 Chil­dren, obey your par­ents in all things: for this is well pleas­ing unto the Lord.

2 The child’s duty to their par­ents is first to honor, care for and rev­er­ence them. Job’s chil­dren refused this admo­ni­tion from God and died young and sent to hell-fire forever.
Job 1:1–2 The Lord said to Satan, behold, all that he (Job) has is in your power only upon him­self (body) put not forth your hand. This pro­hi­bi­tion by God was later lifted and Satan allowed to attack Job phys­i­cally for sev­eral months.

Job Fear­ful Over Children’s Sin

Why, because Job was fear­ful lest his chil­dren would die; he was afraid that he might lose all his prop­erty. Satan’s first job is to plant this fear in man in a form of worry. If the fear is accepted, things will soon hap­pen; if it is rejected, noth­ing will come of it. Lis­ten to what Job says here “For the thing I greatly feared has come upon me, And what I dreaded has hap­pened to me.” Job 3:25Job 3:25
Eng­lish: King James Ver­sion (1611) — KJV

25 For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me. the thing…: Heb. I feared a fear, and it came upon me  

WP-Bible plu­gin
(NKJV)

Satan has to get one’s con­sent before he can curse. If this con­sent is with­held, he can­not work, for man has free will. With­out man’s con­sent, Satan can nei­ther tempt him to sin nor attack him at will. So, in the case of Job, Satan first implanted a lit­tle thought of fear in Job. Hav­ing once accepted the thought, it made Job tremble.

To think that God would allow Satan to attack us with­out a cause is absurbed.  What kind of God would do this?  We don’t see any­where else in scrip­ture of God’s attack except when there is sin of some type — unfaith­ful­ness, doubt, unbe­lief, etc.

Objec­tive — Why Job Was Tested:

God did not afflict Job, Satan did.  God gave Satan per­mis­sion. Answer: Isn’t it com­fort­ing to know Satan can do noth­ing with­out God’s knowl­edge and per­mis­sion!   If Satan is attack­ing us, God allowed it because of open door.Job’s open door which is fear.

The suf­fer­ings of Christ point to the same prob­lem: Why? We can dimly per­ceive how he was “made per­fect through suf­fer­ing,” and how his per­fect sub­mis­sion to that suf­fer­ing laid the eter­nal foun­da­tion for the world’s redemp­tion from all suffering. 

All Man Sanc­ti­fi­ca­tion Process — Dying to Self

Sanc­ti­fi­ca­tion is a process of tri­als to get what is not of God out of us or to purify us.  Is there any man on earth or ever on earth who was per­fect and with­out sin?  No not at all.  Suf­fer­ing is a part of test­ing but really it is a sanc­ti­fi­ca­tion process. Job’s test­ing to see if he would turn against God.  He even had three (3) best friends who accused him. 

Paul writes, “…There is no one right­eous, not even one; there is no one who under­stands, no one who seeks God. All have turned away, they have together become worth­less; there is not one who does good, not even one” (Romans 3:10–12Romans 3:10–12
Eng­lish: King James Ver­sion (1611) — KJV

10 As it is writ­ten, There is none right­eous, no, not one: 11 There is none that under­standeth, there is none that seeketh after God. 12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprof­itable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.  

WP-Bible plu­gin
).
The Bible says Job was the best man in all the East. That doesn’t mean that he was right­eous and good in God’s sight. He was sim­ply the best man from a human per­spec­tive, but even the best man is a sin­ner in God’s sight, and that includes Job. A sin­ner has no right-standing or rights with God.
