Part 3 Hin­drances to Faith and Hin­drances to Healing

There are many rea­sons for hin­drances to faith and heal­ing but touch­ing on the high­lights some of the reasons.

Next area of Hin­drances to Faith and Hin­drances to heal­ing is Fail­ure to Tithe to God.

We have to real­ize every­thing we have comes from God.  So, if it all comes from God, since He is the cre­ator of the uni­verse, why do some rob God.  This brings a curse even though many peo­ple say that is not true today and that we do not live the Old Testament.

We are com­manded in scrip­ture to bring in our first fruit tot he store­house.  Mal. 3:8–12Mal. 3:8–12
Eng­lish: King James Ver­sion (1611) — KJV
8 Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offer­ings. 9 Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation. 10 Bring ye all the tithes into the store­house, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now here­with, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the win­dows of heaven, and pour you out a bless­ing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. pour…: Heb. empty out 11 And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; nei­ther shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts. destroy: Heb. cor­rupt 12 And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delight­some land, saith the LORD of hosts.  

WP-Bible plu­gin says “And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; nei­ther shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the Lord of hosts.  And all nations shall call you blessed; for ye shall be a delight some land, saith the Lord of Hosts.”

What is keep­ing you from tithing to the Lord?  Is it not believ­ing in God’s word, doubt and unbe­lief He will take care of you?  Do you believe that tithing was under the law?  Lets remem­ber, before the law, Abra­ham paid a tithe to Melchizedek and so did Jacob before the law began.  So, that in itself proves tithing belongs to the Lord is not only dur­ing the time of the law.

In Luke 6:38Luke 6:38
Eng­lish: King James Ver­sion (1611) — KJV
38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good mea­sure, pressed down, and shaken together, and run­ning over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same mea­sure that ye mete withal it shall be mea­sured to you again.  

WP-Bible plu­gin says “Give, and it shall be given unto you; good mea­sure, pressed down, and shaken together, and run­ning over, shall men give into your bosom.  For with the same mea­sure that ye mete withal it shall be mea­sured to you again.”

When you tithe, you are invest­ing in the eter­nal per­spec­tives that is for­ever to your ben­e­fit for the King­dom of God.  Look at it as an invest­ment for your future in eter­nal things which weigh much more than the things on earth which will all be burned to stub­ble or not worth anything.

Fail­ure to Con­fess Faults:

James 5:16James 5:16
Eng­lish: King James Ver­sion (1611) — KJV
16 Con­fess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effec­tual fer­vent prayer of a right­eous man availeth much.  

WP-Bible plu­gin says “Con­fess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed.”

We all judge one another but fail to see the faults in our own heart.  We all need to take the time to check our own heart.  How can we know what is in our hearts.  When you read and study the Word and spend time with the Lord, He is gra­cious to show us areas that need to be dealt with or sanc­ti­fied or die to our flesh.

We serve a faith­ful God who is con­tin­u­ally work­ing on us but it takes spend­ing time and build­ing a rela­tion­ship with Him to become more Christ like.  It con­sist of not judg­ing oth­ers.  In fact, scrip­ture talks about not judg­ing oth­ers unless you want to be judged.  John 3:18John 3:18
Eng­lish: King James Ver­sion (1611) — KJV
18 He that believeth on him is not con­demned: but he that believeth not is con­demned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begot­ten Son of God.  

WP-Bible plu­gin

“18.  There is no judg­ment against any­one who believes in him. But any­one who does not believe in him has already been judged for not believ­ing in God’s one and only Son.”

Matthew 7:1–6Matthew 7:1–6
Eng­lish: King James Ver­sion (1611) — KJV
7 1 Judge not, that ye be not judged. 2 For with what judg­ment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what mea­sure ye mete, it shall be mea­sured to you again. 3 And why behold­est thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but con­sid­er­est not the beam that is in thine own eye? 4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? 5 Thou hyp­ocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye. 6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, nei­ther cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they tram­ple them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.  

WP-Bible plu­gin and 1 Corinthi­ans 10:23–241 Corinthi­ans 10:23–24
Eng­lish: King James Ver­sion (1611) — KJV
23 All things are law­ful for me, but all things are not expe­di­ent: all things are law­ful for me, but all things edify not. 24 Let no man seek his own, but every man another’s wealth.  

WP-Bible plu­gin:

23. You say, “I am allowed to do any­thing”[a]—but not every­thing is good for you. You say, “I am allowed to do any­thing”[a]—but not every­thing is ben­e­fi­cial. 24. Don’t be con­cerned for your own good but for the good of others.

Unwill­ing­ness to con­fess faults to one another indi­cates lack of con­fi­dence int he power of God to deliver them or there is just a lot of pride and the per­son is bound to pride.

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
6 1 Chil­dren, obey your par­ents in the Lord: for this is right. 2 Hon­our thy father and mother; 3 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.  

WP-Bible plu­gin.

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.

Wifes sub­mit to their hus­bands.… read on this

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.

“herein do I exer­cise myself, to have always a con­science void of offence toward God,a nd toward men.” Acts. 24:16Acts. 24:16
Eng­lish: King James Ver­sion (1611) — KJV
16 And herein do I exer­cise myself, to have always a con­science void of offence toward God, and toward men.  

WP-Bible plu­gin.  We are to have a Christ-like atti­tude to those who are not Chris­tians as a light to the World.

In Gal. 6:10Gal. 6:10
Eng­lish: King James Ver­sion (1611) — KJV
10 As we have there­fore oppor­tu­nity, let us do good unto all men, espe­cially unto them who are of the house­hold of faith.  

WP-Bible plu­gin, do good unto all men, espe­cially unto them who are of the house­hold of faith.”

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.

Hindrances to the Power of God

How To Remove the Hin­drances of Heal­ing such as Doubt and Unbelief

(Notes from John G. Lakes Ministry)

1. The first major power hin­drance of God in a person’s life is SIN. This shouldn’t even have to be addressed. If you are a Chris­t­ian you are steadily “mor­ti­fy­ing” the deeds of the flesh. If you are a Chris­t­ian, you have cru­ci­fied that flesh and the lust thereof.

a. Rom 8:13Rom 8:13
Eng­lish: King James Ver­sion (1611) — KJV
13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mor­tify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.  

WP-Bible plu­gin — For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mor­tify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. (KJV)

b. Gal 5:24Gal 5:24
Eng­lish: King James Ver­sion (1611) — KJV
24 And they that are Christ’s have cru­ci­fied the flesh with the affec­tions and lusts. affec­tions: or, pas­sions  

WP-Bible plu­gin — And they that are Christ’s have cru­ci­fied the flesh with the affec­tions and lusts. (KJV)

c. I John 2:1John 2:1
Eng­lish: King James Ver­sion (1611) — KJV
2 1 And the third day there was a mar­riage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:  

WP-Bible plu­gin — My lit­tle chil­dren, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advo­cate with the Father, Jesus Christ the right­eous: (KJV)

2. The sec­ond major power hin­drance to the power of God is unbelief.

a. Unbe­lief can also be clas­si­fied as sin, but we will look at it sep­a­rately at this time.

b. Unbe­lief is noth­ing more than call­ing God a liar. Most peo­ple see unbe­lief as not knowing.

c. Unbe­lief is not “not know­ing”, it is “know­ing” but choos­ing not to believe.

i. Matt 13:57–58Matt 13:57–58
Eng­lish: King James Ver­sion (1611) — KJV
57 And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not with­out hon­our, save in his own coun­try, and in his own house. 58 And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbe­lief.  

WP-Bible plu­gin – 57. And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not with­out hon­our, save in his own coun­try, and in his own house. 58. And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbe­lief. (KJV)

ii. Mark 6:3–6Mark 6:3–6
Eng­lish: King James Ver­sion (1611) — KJV
3 Is not this the car­pen­ter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sis­ters here with us? And they were offended at him. offended: scan­dal­ized in, or, by him 4 But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not with­out hon­our, but in his own coun­try, and among his own kin, and in his own house. 5 And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them. 6 And he mar­velled because of their unbe­lief. And he went round about the vil­lages, teach­ing.  

WP-Bible plu­gin – 3. Is not this the car­pen­ter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sis­ters here with us? And they were offended at him. 4. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not with­out hon­our, but in his own coun­try, and among his own kin, and in his own house. 5.

And he went round about the vil­lages, teach­ing. (KJV)

d. Strong’s #570 apais­tia (ap-is-tee’-ah); From 571; faith­less­ness, i.e. (neg­a­tively) dis­be­lief (lack of Chris­t­ian faith), of (pos­i­tively) unfaith­ful­ness (dis­obe­di­ence): KJV – unbelief.

i. If you have had teach­ing con­cern­ing the will of God in the area of heal­ing, and you know that it is always God’s will to heal in answer to faith.

ii. If you are not liv­ing in sin.

iii. If you are not in unbe­lief, but are rather in belief, trust­ing God to honor His Word.

iv. If you are Avail­able to God to be used.

v. If you are Bold to speak up con­cern­ing God’s desire to heal.

vi. If you are Com­pas­sion­ate, walk­ing in the love of God for people.

vii. If all these things apply to you, and yet you still do not see God’s power in your life, there can be ONLY one reason.

viii. You are not spend­ing enough time in prayer.

Prayer: The closer you get and the longer you stay there the more sat­u­rated you become.

1.  The more power you receive

2. The longer you are out in the cold win­ter weather, the longer it will take for you to warm back up.

3. The more you stay in the atmos­phere of this world, the longer it will take you to “warm up” to God. This is why we wor­ship and pray to start church ser­vices. Since many peo­ple seem to live most of their time in the nat­ural / flesh, etc., it some­times takes a long time to enter the pres­ence of God. Some peo­ple attend church and never get into the pres­ence of God, because the only time they pray is in church.

How can you pray with­out ceasing?

1. Make sure every­thing you say could be used in prayer.

2. Begin to carry on a con­ver­sa­tion with God.

3. Ver­bally ask God to reveal things to you. Ask God to answer your ques­tions, to bring into man­i­fes­ta­tion the wis­dom of Christ that has been placed in your spirit.

4. Begin to ask God to reveal things to you in the Bible.

5. Ask God to man­i­fest the gifts of the Spirit in your life so that you can help oth­ers. The fastest way to receive from God is to share with oth­ers what God shares with you. (Make sure you give Him the credit for shar­ing it with you.)

6. Live in the pres­ence of God. When you wake up in the morn­ing say Good Morn­ing Father, Son and Holy Ghost. When you lay down to go to sleep at night, say, Good Night, Father, Son and Holy Ghost.

7. Before you go to sleep, always ask God to talk to you in your sleep, and tell you the things that He couldn’t get across to you while you were awake. When I began to do this, instantly God began doing mighty things in my sleep. My dreams are spir­i­tual, I receive rev­e­la­tions and I never have night­mares or bad nights sleep (or a bad next day for that mat­ter). My life is daily becom­ing more and more full of God.

8. Pray in tongues. Pray strong and loud.

9. Remem­ber, you are not ready for the bat­tle­ground until you have been on the Holy Ground.

10. Pray every­where, all the time. You can­not pray too much. Prayer is like scar­ing the crows away from your cornfield.

It will keep Satan’s doubts and temp­ta­tion away. Then when you see some­one need­ing a touch from God, you will be in the right “frame of mind” to give them that touch, because greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world. Remem­ber, some peo­ple will never get any closer to God than when they have crossed your path.

Hindrances tot he Power of God

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.  

WP-Bible plu­gin. 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. (KJV)

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.

James 5:13–20 — 13James 5:13–20 — 13
Eng­lish: King James Ver­sion (1611) — KJV
13 Is any among you afflicted? let him pray.

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

Jan 9th, 12 / 0 Comments

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

Jan 9th, 12 / 0 Comments

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.  

WP-Bible plu­gin, Lev. 19:3Lev. 19:3
Eng­lish: King James Ver­sion (1611) — KJV
3 Ye shall fear every man his mother, and his father, and keep my sab­baths: I am the LORD your God.  

WP-Bible plu­gin, Lev. 19:3Lev. 19:3
Eng­lish: King James Ver­sion (1611) — KJV
3 Ye shall fear every man his mother, and his father, and keep my sab­baths: I am the LORD your God.  

WP-Bible plu­gin2 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.
