Why Could It Be that Believers are Sick?

Sin leads to death. But what leads to sin? The strength of sin is the law.

So obviously, for non-believers, because their sins have not be paid for, the law of sin and death is part of the journey they will go through in life. And this includes sicknesses and diseases. 

But what about believers who contract sicknesses, why would that be if their sins had already been paid for? Could it be that it is because they are still under the law and they believe in the law. Thus, in the natural, because law leads to sin and sin to death and it effects (sicknesses and diseases), by not knowing that they don't have to be under law, they subject themselves to the natural effects and progressions of it which includes sicknesses and diseases just like the non-believers. Because Christ is of no effect in their lives. Galatians 5:4 states that it is possible to be a believer but yet be estranged from Christ and have Christ made no effect in your lives because of the believe that they can be justified by the law.

Could this be why we still see believers being sick, contracting diseases and dying? Not because they have not been redeemed, they have! But because somehow they are still under the law or believe in the law, therefore, they put themselves in a place of "law, sin and death!". And law itself effectively cuts out the effectiveness of Christ!

So should we feel afraid when we see a believer contracting sickness and wonder, "Oh no! Why a believer is sick? If a believer can be sick, contract a disease and die, will it be me next?" MAYBE WE SHOULDN'T BE AFRAID. Maybe it is because the Bible has already given us the answer of why a believer is sick. Maybe it is simply because the believer has put himself or herself under the law, or believed in the law, thus making himself or herself estranged from Christ with Christ having no effect in their lives. Thus subjecting themselves to the natural order of "Law, sin and death!".

So maybe when we see a believer sick next time, instead of feeling scared, we can tell ourselves, "That is the effect of the law." Pray for that person. Speak to that person. But more importantly, remind ourselves that life exist when Christ is in effect. And Christ is in effect when there is no law. And when there is no law, that means that grace is what give life. Because the opposite of Mount Sinai is Mouth Zion. Because the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death. So we need to now find out and pursue what is this Spirit of life in Christ Jesus. 

Do you think this is it?

What Is The Grace of God to Me?

24 September 2017 (Sunday)

 

What was the grace of God for me yesterday?

The grace of God for me yesterday was that for a very brief moment, I could suddenly understand what the grace of God was in my situation when Smaw Smaw explained it to me. It was the brief moment that I could see the grace of God in my situation. It was the brief moment where there was a light in my mind and my entire being and a brief moment where I could actually believe! And that believe brought along a rest. A real feeling of rest and let go where I literally felt my stomach relaxed and the pain ebbed away. Where the foul metallic taste in my mouth disappeared. Where I could suddenly breathe easy again. Where I was suddenly confident that I could live, I would live and that everything was going to be ok. It was a brief moment where suddenly I felt this was the answer. I wasn't afraid of my body anymore and I could look at myself in the mirror with confidence and know that God loves that face. 

What is the grace of God to me today?

The grace of God to me today is that I am still alive today. That is the only grace I seem to be able to see today. It is hard today. My mind seem blocked and dark. My emotions running low. My body screaming that everything is not okay. Me trying to claw back the feeling, the believe and the rest I felt yesterday but to no avail. I don't know why. And it makes me panic.

What is the grace of God that I seem to know?

The grace of God that I seem to know is this: That once upon a time even before God created me, He knew and could see what I would be deathly afraid of in the future. He knew despite me not even being created yet. But God loved me very very much even then. And to Him, because He loved me so much, He did not want me to have to experience what I would be afraid of. Because He wanted me to just live a happy, victorious and utmost carefree life. He knew that I would very afraid to be sick and to contract cancer and other diseases that would end my life. And because God loved me so much, He decided to do this. He sent His only Son Jesus to be my fall-guy and substitute. So He sent Jesus on earth as a human SO THAT in my place, Jesus could contract that cancer that I am so afraid of. Jesus could contract whatever diseases that God knew I would be afraid of. He made Jesus contract it all for me as my substitute. So that by doing that, because Jesus did it FOR me and AS me, according to the law of double jeopardy, it cannot be placed upon me again. It cannot cannot cannot happen to me again because somebody, this Jesus, has already taken it FOR me and AS me. Therefore, because it has already happened, it cannot happen because otherwise God will be unjust to let it happen again because the curse can only happen ONE TIME!

Therefore, because Jesus has already contracted it, went through the full process of suffering it and even dying because of it and for it, it will never never never happen to me again! I will never never never contract it again because if I do, God is unjust to let the curse happen twice. Once in Jesus and once in me. 

So this is God's grace for me. That He wants to tell me, "There is no need to you to be so afraid ever again! Because IT WILL NOT happen to you. Because my Son has already contracted it for you and as you. It can only happen ONE TIME!"

"Therefore, since I have already removed what you fear from your life, there is no need for you to ever fear again because if you do, you are just wasting your time fearing for nothing as all. Fearing for something that will never happen to you."

"And that is why I always always tell you in the Bible to not fear and to be courageous. Because I know my Son has contracted the disease and sickness for you and as you."

"So today, I want you to know that the curse, the sickness, the disease, the obstacle has been removed from your life and from your future. It no longer has a hold on you. It's chains on you is broken. Because my Son took those chains on Himself."

"So now, rise up and walk and know that I have cleared the path ahead for your future. Your future is healed. Your future is healthy. Your future is a long live. Your future is obstacles free. Have that confidence! Jesus has already contracted it all for you. He was made sick so you will be healthy."

Now that is the grace of God to me.
