God the Holy Spirit is the Christian believer's Comforter today and He wants to comfort
you through His Words in His Word (the Bible).
But before we get started in looking at the Holy Scriptures I want to say a few words.
Some folks wonder if it is God's will to heal. Yes, it is always God's will to heal and
always Satan's will to destroy. Jesus Christ, Who is God the Son, went about healing
every form of disease and sickness. As you study His ministry you will discover this
truth for yourself.
How come, then, isn't everyone healed who
prays to the Lord for healing? There are many answers to this question but only God has
the answer in your particular case. It is not necessarily that there is sin in your life.
It is not necessarily that you have a lack of faith. It is not necessarily
that you have
failed to pay your tithes or failed to do something else. It may be that this is a trial
of your faith. It may be that God has something else for you.
It may be that God wants to draw you closer to Himself.
It may be that it is the result of a sin cursed earth or natural law.
It may be that it is time
for you to go home to Heaven- it is Suppertime at the Lord's table.
(John 14:16-18).
It is God's will to heal and many folks have been healed who have asked God for healing.
Where does disease, sickness, and death come from? God wanted only perfect health and
happiness for our great great grandparents, Adam and Eve, and had perfect conditions
created for them, but Satan had other ideas. Sickness, disease, and death came about
when they (as representatives of the human race) gave their
authority to the devil.
If the devil has not personally caused your disease, it is in his camp. Satan is the
one responsible for your disease, not God.
"O Israel, how can you say the LORD does not see your troubles? How
can you say God refuses to hear your case?
Have you never heard or understood? Don't you know that the LORD is
the everlasting God, the Creator of all the earth? He never grows
faint or weary. No one can measure the depths of his understanding.
He gives power to those who are tired and worn out; he offers strength
to the weak.
Even youths will become exhausted, and young men will give up.
But those who wait on the LORD will find new strength. They will fly
high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will
walk and not faint."
(Isaiah 40:27 - 31)
Trials are not enemies of faith |
"God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of
trouble."
(Psalms 46:1)
"For you are my hiding place; you protect me from trouble.
You surround me with songs of victory.
The LORD says,
"I will guide you along the best pathway for your life.
I will advise you and watch over you."
(Psalm 32: 7 & 8) NLT
"I look up to the mountains- does my help come from there?
My help comes from the LORD, who made the heavens and the earth!
He will not let you stumble and fall; the one who watches over you will not sleep.
Indeed, he who watches over Israel never tires and never sleeps.
The LORD himself watches over you! The LORD stands beside you as your protective shade.
The sun will not hurt you by day, nor the moon at night.
The LORD keeps you from all evil and preserves your life.
The LORD keeps watch over you as you come and go, both now and forever."
(Psalms 121)
Self doubt is an inside job |
"See, I am coming soon, and my reward is with me, to repay all
according to their deeds.
I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning
and the End.
Blessed are those who wash their robes so they can enter
through the gates of the city and eat the fruit from the tree of life.
I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this message for the
churches. I am both the source of David and the heir to his throne.
I am the bright morning star.
The Spirit and the bride say, "Come." Let each one who hears
them say, "Come." Let the thirsty ones come- anyone who
wants to. Let them come and drink the water of life without charge."
(Revelation 22:12 - 17)

You might be surprised at what happens...
Jesus Christ specializes in encouraging His children.
"Can anything ever separate us from Christ's love?
Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or
are persecuted, or are hungry or cold or in danger or threatened with
death?...
No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through
Christ, who loved us.
And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from his love.
Death can't, and life can't. The angels can't, and the demons can't.
Our fears for today, our worries about tomorrow, and even the powers
of hell can't keep God's love away.
Whether we are high above the
sky or in the deepest ocean, nothing in all creation will ever be
able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ
Jesus our Lord."
(Romans 8:35 - 39)
In some small way I hope that God has been able to encourage you
through me (by writing this article).
