You can break free, from anxiety and worry about, how you will pay your next bill, where to find a job, or to be healed from disease! That is what God promises in so many places in his Word for his children! Do you find yourself, in a situation where you are stuck with an incurable condition, or you wonder how you can pay your bills, or you worry about how to find an employment, and more money for your needs? Well, all this situation in the world, with this Covid 19 stuff, is really making the world wonder and worry, what will happen next. But, if you are a Christian, read on, because the one who created the world, has put his attention on you, and your situation. God either cares for us, or he does not. What matters is that he has said that he cares. He cares for your bill to be paid, he cares to restore you to health, and he cares to provide what you need! That is a fact established in heaven, and in his Word. The Bible says that no word from God will fail! Your illness, your lack of money or lack of employment will fail to accomplish its own purpose, but the Word of God will never fail to accomplish its own purpose, but will fulfil the reason, why God sent it on the first place! If you look at Psalm 9:9, you can clearly see that is says that God is our stronghold, in a time of trouble. Well, living in a Covid 19 is a time of trouble, but God is our stronghold, and we can surely run into the protection and the provision from God, in that time of trouble. When we are in a time of trouble, it is the time to run to God and come close to him for help, and not run away from God. In Psalm 9:10, God says that he will never forsake us. That is about God not forsaking us, or forgetting about us, especially when we are in a time of trouble! That is what it says, because it says so, in verse 9, of Psalm 9. That means God will not forsake you, or forget about your illness which is waiting to be healed from him, and he will not forsake or forget about your need of money or employment. That is what God is concerned about not forsaking you! He just says that you will be helped, provided and healed from him, only if you do one thing, and that is to trust in him and his Word. If you can do that one thing, as it says in Psalm 9:10, to know God's name, seek him, and trust in him, then the rest will be done for you by God himself! If you seek first your employer, or your doctor for your disease, very often you can be disappointed with the trust you have in them, because that trust can often crumble. But God is saying 'Trust me, because I am trustworthy'. How many times you can trust God? Any time, without limit, just as he is not limited. That is all he asks, that we trust him, and his Word. God has a good solid reason, to ask us to trust in him and his Word, and that reason is, that he knows that his Word is true! That is why Jesus said so many times in the Gospels, 'truly, truly I say to you'. Your hope in God, to help you in your illness, find a job, or money, will never perish, if you continue to trust him! That is what Psalm 9:18 says, meaning that if you are afflicted by unemployment, illness or a lack of money, your hope to be helped by God, will never perish, but what you hope to get from God, will be accomplished, because he has promised so!

God's will for you is to heal you! No question about it!
Old Testament or New Testament, the Bible is full with examples of healing from God, for everyone who believes, from all sorts of diseases. Being sick does not bring glory to God, but being healed by God, does! Let us start with our salvation first! Did you know, that the original Greek word for 'save' also means 'heal'? In other words, when Jesus died on the cross for us, he provided not only salvation for us and forgiveness of sins, but also a healing for us. God does not care what it is called, if it is called Covid 19, Covid 20 or 2000! God who created the heaven and earth is not only willing to heal from Covid 19, but is also able to do so! The question if God wants to heal or not, simply evaporates, when we read the Bible and especially the New Testament and all the healing which Jesus performed all the time. How can we wonder if God wants to heal us, when Jesus was healing all the time, wherever he went. All the four Gospels are full with healing examples from Jesus. The Bible says that Jesus Christ is the same, yesterday, today and forever! So God does not change and he does not change his mind about healing neither. When we read the 3 John verse 2, we can very clearly see, that John prayed for a brother called Gaius. It says that Gaius was prospering spiritually in his soul. What that does mean? Well, it means that he was doing what God requires of him, and was living a devoted Christian life, and that is what made him prosper spiritually. But John wanted Gaius to know, that God wanted Gaius to prosper physically, in his body too. John actually prayed for Gaius to be healthy in his body. That is healing, that is the will of God for us his children, to be healed and healthy! Perhaps Gaius was thinking that all that God has for him, is to be spiritually blessed, but not materially. John wanted Gaius to know, that God cares that we are healed and prosper materially as well as spiritually. God does not want us to be well spiritually and suffer materially, either by sickness or lack of what we need. Why should God want us to prosper only spiritually? That is why John had to pray for the physical health of Gaius, that God will keep Gaius in a good health, not only in his soul or spirit, but in his body too! It is 100 % for God to want to heal us! Otherwise, why would John pray that Gaius be healthy if it was not God's will for us to be healed? How many earthly father are there, who want their children sick? A normal father wants his children to be healthy! That is much more with us Christians, who are his children. We Christians are called blessed by God. How can you be blessed and sick at the same time? Part of the expressing the Kingdom of God in our life, is about healing from God. When Jesus was manifesting the Kingdom of God on earth, one part of that was healing. Jesus said that the Kingdom of God is in us. So, if it is in us, then we can also express that Kingdom of God in us by praying for healing either for us or others. God heals today, just as was healing thousands of years ago, because he does not change his mind, and he remains the same forever. |
