Rapture

The Rapture

Rapture definition – 1. feeling of intense pleasure or joy. 2. (according to some millenarian teaching) the transporting of believers to heaven at the Second Coming of Christ. 3. (according to some millenarian teaching) transport (a believer) from earth to heaven at the Second Coming of Christ.

Where did the Rapture theology originate?

John Nelson Darby, a 19th-century Irish theologian, is credited with popularizing the pre-tribulation rapture doctrine. This doctrine, which he developed through his analysis of scripture, suggests that the rapture, the sudden, global gathering of believers to meet Christ in the air, will occur before the Great Tribulation, a period of intense suffering and judgment on Earth.

The fact that John Nelson Darby invented the pre-tribulation rapture doctrine around 1830 AD is unquestionably true. All attempts to find evidence of this doctrine before 1830 have failed.

The John Darby Rapture theology was influenced by Margaret MacDonalds visions and utterances. This is the link that shows Margarete’s influence on John Darby, https://www.discerningtheworld.com/2016/05/02/margaret-macdonald-vision-pre-trib-really/.

The Rapture teaches in the end times believers that both living and dead believers will ascend into heaven to meet Jesus Christ at the Second Coming.

The belief in the Rapture emerged from the anticipation that Jesus would return to redeem all members of the church. The term rapture, however, appears nowhere in the New Testament. In his First Letter to the Thessalonians, the Apostle Paul wrote that the Lord will come down from heaven and that a trumpet call will precede the rise of “the dead in Christ” (1 Thessalonians 4:16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first).  Thereafter, Verse 17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus, we shall always be with the Lord. The clouds are not referred as heaven.  It appears to mean we will ultimately will be with the Lord here on earth where Adam and Eve resided. Revelation 21:1-2 Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. 2 Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. Deuteronomy 11:21 that your days and the days of your children may be multiplied in the land (earth) of which the Lord swore to your fathers to give them, like the days of the heavens above the earth

Of great concern is believers think that just because they are Believers in Jesus Christ, they can continue to sin without consequences, Romans 6:1-2 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? 2 Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?  Will the raptured be sinless?

Key point is the word rapture is not in the Bible.  The original definitions prior to the rapture theology is: a feeling of intense pleasure or joy.  The other rapture definitions came after John Darby invented the rapture theology.  Caught up in the air in the Bible has no reference to rapture theology. (1 Thessalonians 4:17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord) is not raptured into heaven. 

The Bible talks about the narrow gate.  Who is God referring to?  Matthew 7:13-14, 21-23 “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. 14 Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it. 21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ God is talking about us Christians.  Are sure you will be raptured up?  Are those who don’t believe in the rapture theology believe they will be in heaven on earth with God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit?

Lawlessness is being one with sin.  Lawlessness is not reading His Word. Lawlessness is not teaching the Gospel. Lawlessness is not casting out evil spirits. Lawlessness is not praying for people. Lawlessness is not doing anything for God’s Kingdom. 

It’s not about what I think about rapture doctrine.  It’s about what the Bible tells us. Scripture is thousands of years old created by God.  Rapture theology is 195 years old   invented by John Nelson Darby.  Who are you going to believe?

We can’t believe in one word and ignore the totality of God’s Word.

Ephesians 4:14 that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting.

2 Chronicles 16:9 For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him. In this you have done foolishly; Tony Sanchez 5-8-2025

The Principality of Bitterness

 Note:  Before we get started, we must understand what bitterness does to our bones.

Proverbs 17:22 A merry heart does good, like medicine, But a broken spirit (bitterness) dries the bones.

Proverbs 14:30 A sound heart is life to the body, But envy is rottenness to the bones.

Psalm 6:2 Have mercy on me, O LORD, for I am weak; O LORD, heal me, for my bones are troubled.

Drying of the bones means that it dries the bone morrow and the white T cells that protects us from immune diseases.  In addition, bitterness and anxiety/stress/fear cause cortisol drip.  Excessive cortisol secretion destroys white T cells and soft tissue throughout the body including the brain which leads to dementia.

Bitterness is a principality of the enemy.  Ephesians 6:12 says: For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

If we are in conflict with one another, I am not your enemy.  You are not my enemy.  The problem here is we are not able to separate the person from their sin.  Their sin is our enemy – Not them!

When someone violates us, we make him or her evil along with the evil they did, don’t we?  You must be able to separate people form their sin.  God didn’t create you from the foundations of the world as a sinner.  God created you from the foundation of the world as saints before Him and as His sons and daughters forever.  Because of sin, we have become separated from God.  Even after conversion, we still have many things to work out.

Bitterness is a principality; under it and answering to it are seven evil spirits (demons) that reinforce bitterness.

1.     Unforgiveness

When the root of bitterness in Hebrews gets a foothold, the first thing that happens is a record of wrongs.

Looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled Hebrews 12:15.

How many of you are still having flashbacks from people hurting you?  If I mentioned someone who hurt you, you would probably give me 15 reasons why you don’t like them.  Then, you would tell many others the same 15 reasons.  This results in gossip, slander, and embellishment (making it worse than what it is), especially true with families.  This is unforgiveness.  After unforgiveness gets a foothold and creates a record of wrongs, there’s another dimension of the spiritual dynamics. It is called resentment.

2.     Resentment

Resentment is the record of wrongs being fueled by feelings of holding onto it and starting to meditate on the wrongs.  It’s hard to understand that we have feelings of resentment as we think about the people in our mind   throughout the day.  It’s because you are a spirit being; you have a soul, and you live in your body.

Resentment is a spiritual problem, not a psychological problem.  Bitterness, unforgiveness, and resentment are spiritual problems, not psychological problems.  You can take these keys and use them in any spiritual conflict you have in your life.  This gets us right here in our heart.  This is what separates us from others and it is the foundation of fear which may come later: fear of man, fear of rejection, fear of failure, and fear of abandonment. 

Retaliation

After resentment gets a foothold, then we have retaliation.  We take an attitude of “I don’t forgive, I just get even.  After resentment has started to simmer, we find ways to get back at the person who caused it.  Most often with gossip, slander, and backstabbing.  Retaliation wants to make the person pay.  They want to get even.

3.     Anger

After retaliation gets a foothold, then anger starts to set in.  Unforgiveness, resentment and retaliation have been building and now a real strong feeling of anger comes along.  Anger is very hard to control.  What we fail to understand is anger is a choice.  Nobody can make you angry unless you allow someone to make you angry.

4.     Hatred

After anger sets in, there comes hatred.  Hatred says this: “Because I’m remembering what you did to me, because I have really been meditation on it and I really resent it, I’m going to get even.  I’m going to get the pressure cooker going because I’m going to add fuel to the fire, and now at this stage you do not have any reason to exist anymore, especially in my presence.”  Hatred says, “There is not even room on this planer for you and me at the same place at the same time.”  Hated says, “You and I cannot stay in the same room together.” Hatred starts to develop into the elimination process.

5.     Violence

After hatred comes violence.  Violence says this:  Before I eliminate you, you are going to feel my pain.  You are going to hear my voice.  You are going to know my hatred.  You are going to experience my hatred.”

6.     Murder   

Once violence erupts, the final fruit of bitterness is murder.  This can be actual physical murder, or murder with the tongue, which is character assassination or verbal abuse.  Whenever I find any of these in a person’s life, all the stuff from here (the mind) to here (the heart) is there.  I know if we do not deal with it, it’s going to go to the heart and take up residence. 

When hatred, violence, and murder are in someone’s life, they feel they are justified and everybody else is going to pay the price.  Have you been a victim of this?  Did you feel defiled? Have you made a victim of someone else on this basis?

I have found that if any one of these seven areas answering to bitterness exists, all of the preceding ones will be there from the one area.  I noticed; if left unchecked, all the rest will surely come.  For example, if you see hatred in a person, unforgiveness, resentment, retaliation and anger always precede.  Also, each of the seven is progressively worse than the one just proceeding it. For example, violence is much more serious problem than resentment. 

Forgiveness:  What God Expects of us – 70 x7

 What does God expect of us when we are forgiving someone else and ourselves?  I mentioned ourselves as well because we can have bitterness towards ourselves and the seven steps can apply to ourselves

Peter and Jesus had an interesting conversation.  Jesus was teaching and Peter asked the Lord, how often should I forgive my brother?  Up to seven times?  Jesus said, no, I do not say until seven times; I say to you seventy times seven.  Matthew 18:22 22 Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.

What Jesus is saying is that we must continue to forgive until the unforgiveness is not an issue anymore.  When the remembrance of the hurt or offense does not sting anymore.  Forgiving is much more effective if we declare forgiveness out loud consistently. 

You forgive others and yourself because God had forgiven you.   God has told us to forgive and we are His obedient children.  When you forgive your brother his trespasses, then God will release you because you have released your brother from his trespass.  You are now released from the spirit of bitterness and the antagonistic high-octane ping on the inside goes away.  You will always remember the evil that was done to you but you do not have to carry it as a sin in your own life.

You do not have to carry someone else’s sin inside of you.  This is their sin.  God will be their judge.  Your job is to release them, get back before God, get your heart right with God, then keep on moving.  Your freedom does not depend on their resolution – it depends on your resolution.

When you forgive others, you are not letting them off the hook, but giving them to God.  You are off the hook.

When you forgive someone, you continue to hate their sin, but you are commanded to love them.  John 13:34- A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.

We are not the judge when it comes to sin.  Sinners cannot judge sinners.  Only God will judge.

Romans 14:10 But why do you judge your brother? Or why do you show contempt for your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

1 Corinthians 11:31 For if we would judge ourselves, we would not be judged.

When it comes down to it, why are we judging someone to begin with? Because we want retaliation! 

Whether a person responds to you in forgiveness or not, it’s their problem and their sin.  Walk away, keep your heart right, and ask God to bring reconciliation, and pray for them.  Do what you can to bring it about and if you cannot have peace, keep on moving.

Ephesians 4:31 Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander…. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God forgave you

Do You Have Bitterness?

 The vast majority of people say they are not bitter at anyone, self, or an organization.  Let’s look at the definition of bitterness and similar words. 

Bitterness – anger and disappointment at being treated unfairly or hurt; resentment.

Similar words – harshness,  resentment, resentfulness, embittered, dissatisfaction, disgruntlement, discontent, grudge, pique, indignation, rancor, spite, sullenness, churlishness, moroseness, petulance, peevishness, spleen, acrimony, trauma, pain, painfulness, agony, grief, unpleasantness, disagreeableness, nastiness, awfulness, upset, heartache, heartbreak, unhappiness, misery, wretchedness, sorrow, sadness, distress, desolation, despair, desperation, poignancy, tragedy, sting, keenness, hostility, antipathy, antagonism, enmity, animus, friction, virulence, anger, spitefulness, vindictiveness, viciousness, vitriol, savagery, ferocity, hate, hatred, loathing, detestation, venom, poison, bile, ill feeling, ill will, bad blood, malignity, malevolence,

Can you more easily identify with bitterness now?  Perhaps we all must rethink what we know about bitterness and how it is affecting our health?

Bitterness will destroy your soft tissue.  Science says: Cortisol, a stress (fight or flight) hormone, can negatively affect soft tissues by breaking down protein, leading to muscle weakness and atrophy, hindering wound healing, and potentially contributing to decreased collagen production, which impacts skin elasticity and tissue repair; essentially, high cortisol levels can weaken and deteriorate soft tissues in the body.  This can include destruction of:

·       White T cells (bone marrow) that fight off immune sickness and diseases, Proverbs 17:22 says, "A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones"

·       Myelin that surrounds the nerve fiber and the nerve itself

·       Inner ear that results in Tinnitus and hearing loss

·       Brain cell destruction

·       Liver, kidney, pancreas, heart, pancreas, uterus, appendix, spleen, gallbladder, intestines, lymph nodes, lungs, spleen, stomach, bone marrow, veins, pancreas, and Urinary bladder

"Dries up the bones" is not meant to be taken literally, but rather represents a state of depletion and weakness caused by prolonged negative emotions, Proverbs 14:30 A sound heart is life to the body, but envy is rottenness to the bones.  Envy leads to jealousy and anger, and ultimately bitterness.  We are responders of our thought. In other words, your health is dependent how you think good or evil. 

Negative declarations – What is coming out of mouth directed at people, self, and organization?  Is it a blessing or a curse?  In Genesis 1:3 “God said, let there be light” God spoke light into existence.  In the same manner we can speak into existence curses onto ourselves and others.  James 3:10 Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so.  I can’t tell you how many people beat up on their selves at a high level through negative declarations.  It greatly affects their health.

Bitterness has many things tied to it that lead to physical and mental illnesses.  Primarily, is the unloving spirit which is causes rejection, abandonment, not feeling loved or worthy to be loved, anger, hatred, hurts, unforgiveness, and finally bitterness.  All of these cause sickness and disease.

As I said numerous times over the years, every health issue, physically and emotionally has a root cause and the Bible says it is disobedience (Sin) Deuteronomy 28 15-68.  Science identifies the symptoms, doctors treat the symptoms, we and the church pray for the symptoms. Yet we remain sick and diseased because we refuse to find the spiritual causes and pray effectively (James 5:16) against the causes that lead to the symptoms. 

There is a mind-body connection directly tied to sickness and disease caused by spiritual wickedness (sin) working in us and from others. The Body of Jesus Christ is suffering and we are in captivity.  When is the church going to wake up and start teaching the causes of sickness and disease and praying for the flock? T. Sanchez 3/25                                        

Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.

Isiah 5:13 Isaiah 5:13 Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge

Spiritual Grooming in The Church Over the Centuries

Spiritual grooming definition – The act of forming a relationship with others with the intention of introducing them to a religious doctrine or church process that may or may not align with the church of Jesus Christ and the Word of God. Note: Spiritual grooming is programing the Body of Jesus Christ with a belief not always aligning with the Word of God.  

Most often the church tradition supersedes the church of Jesus Christ.  The church has placed the pastor above the flock. Nowhere in the Bible does it say that pastors are to be at the top of the church hierarchy. It does say pastors are one of five chosen to be leaders in the church, but not better than anyone else.  Ephesians 4:11-13 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, 12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, 13 till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.  Everyone of the five and even the flock are to carry out the Great Commission, Mark 16:14-18 for healing. 

The current church hierarchy creates separation within the flock rendering them as followers with little say so in church matters which is very dangerous.  We all know what power and haughtiness can do to leadership,

Church Service     

I have visited over 50 different churches and I am seeing the same church services.

  1. Very seldom is the Holy Spirit called before or during service.  The Holy Spirit is our Helper, Luke 14:16, 26. Luke 11:13 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”
  2. The church does not pray for sick and diseased before/during/after service. When they do pray, they pray for the symptoms and not the causes that lead to the symptoms.
  3. I have yet to see a scripture posted on the screen where the entire congregation declares or prays the scripture.
  4. Pastors preach, a feel-good message, they council people, they joke too much to get a laugh, they give motivational messages and the flock still remains sick and diseased. 
  5. None of these 50 churches have a healing, prayer, and deliverance ministry.  Did Jesus have a healing ministry?  Of course!  Matter of fact, Jesus taught the disciples to preach the gospel, pray away evil spirts that cause sickness and disease so they may be healed.

Does your church resemble the church of Jesus Christ?  Does your church cast out demon spirits (evil spirits)?   Most cannot identify evil spirits working in them even though evil spirits are all around them and keeping them in captivity.  Are the following evil spirits familiar to you like, fear, anger, bitterness, unloving, anxiety, lust, envy, jealousy, and a lying spirit to name a few?  Does the church know what causes depression?  God tells us in Proverbs 12:25 Anxiety (fear) in the heart of man cause depression.  Do you know that these are sins which are called iniquities in the Bible?  Is the church you attend teaching you how to come out of captivity?

This is a short teaching that everyone must consider because the church is not teaching what God wants us to know.  People continue to go into church service sick and diseased and leave sick and diseased.

Cancer

BRINGING THE BIG “C” WORD, CANCER, DOWN TO SIZE

The main emphasis of most fund raisers and promotional material directed towards cancer is “Let’s Find A Cure.”  Hundreds of millions of dollars have been raised towards a cure.  But still “no cure.”  Although the theme seems right to most, this presentation does not address the subject of which cancer.  There are many studies and opinions, but even with all the high-tech modalities (treatments) that attempt to “cure” cancer via chemotherapy and radiation, the average survival rate is five years although there are exceptions.

Cancer is not an accident! There is always a cause and effect with any sickness and disease.  It is a result of converging spiritual, psychological, and environmental mixes that contribute to an atmosphere conducive for cancer cells to thrive.  Cancer thrives in an acidic environment, but then fear, anxiety and stress contribute to acidity.  Is it possible that the alkaline environment could be achieved by taking our peace? 

Then there is the white corpuscle killer called Cortisol that is released like a leaky faucet in direct relationship to fear and stress.  Victimization and broken relationships also create an atmosphere of fear, dread, sadness, hopelessness, and despair (depression).  Despair is sometimes expressed at the cellular level as Malignancy (the quality or state of being).

It has been the observation of Henry Wright that there is a very high statistical connection between females who get breast cancer in the left breast and unresolved conflict between her and another female family member.  This observation also has shown breast cancer in the right breast can be because of unresolved conflict between her and a non-blood female relative; conflict with her mother-in-law is highly implicated.

There seems to be perhaps an overemphasis on nutrition as a cure or prevention.  Antioxidants and other food products are important as building blocks of cell maintenance but may times cell-mutation have nothing to do with what we eat.  Then there is the inherited iniquity/sin (genetic connection) tied to sickness and disease as it goes down the generation line.  We must see a critical dimension to give us insights beyond the protocol being offered by science and doctors.

Is it possible to prevent cancer?  Which type of cancer can we cure or prevent?  Let us look at the different kinds of cancer and talk about how cancer gets a foothold.

Cancer is not an accident!  We can also talk about genetic and environmental issues which contribute to abut 20 percent of cancers.  Henry Wright has been an enemy of cancer for more than 30 years and he has seen many people healed.  Even stage four terminal cancers that had metastasized.  Today these people are well today leading normal lives.

Cancer In Men and Women

The number one type of cancer that kills men is lung cancer.  The second leading cancer that kill men is prostate cancer, followed by colon and rectal cancer, pancreatic, liver, leukemia, esophageal, bladder, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and kidney cancer.

The number one type of cancer that kills women is also lung cancer, followed by breast, colon & rectum, pancreatic, ovary, leukemia, no-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, uterine, liver, and cancer that affect the brain & nervous system.  These statistics are from the American Cancer Society.

There are many people who talk about the cause of cancer, and most of their discussion have to do with obesity, lack of exercise, and smoking.  Surely, much of that has its bearing on health.  But we must bring forth a new concept involving caner, and it includs more than just physical wellness.  Be in Health Inc is dedicated to wholeness of spirit, soul, and body.  In their understanding of the Spiritual Roots of Disease, they have discovered the possible spiritual root issues behind more than 1,000 diseases affecting the mind, emotions, and body.

In the issue of cancer all three parts of our being need attention.  We need to talk about our spirituality, our personality, and of course our physiology. Is it possible that the body is a responder to our thoughts?

The Mind-Bosy Connection

The study of the mind-body connection is a well-known science.  The field of psychoneuroimmunology studies the effects of the mind over the central nervous system and the immune system.  One of the scriptures that come to mind is in the book of Isaiah.  It says that God’s people went into captivity because they had no knowledge, Isaiah 5:13 Therefore my people have gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge; Their honorable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst. 

The prophet Hosea picks up the theme and says, my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.  The second part of Hosea says that the knowledge God’s people had, they did not even use, Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.  Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.

We are supposed to love God, His Word, and love our neighbors as ourselves, but does that mean we do it?

Matthew 22:36-40 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?” Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment.  And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’  On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”

Jesus taught us the foundation of the law and prophets.  It is that we love God, love ourselves, and love our neighbor (everyone else).  This has to do with the understanding of the spirituality, pathology (science) and etiology (causes) of cancer and how we prevent it, cure it, and heal it.  It is very important to note that all sicknesses and diseases have a root cause and it can be found in Deuteronomy 28:15-68. It is called disobedience, which is sin. Unfortunately, we as believers go to doctors who only treat the symptoms.  Not the causes that lead to the symptoms.  Why are we going to doctors if they only treat the symptoms and we remain ill?

There are different types of tumors and they involve both cancerous and benign or non-cancerous tumors.  Both involved cell mitosis or rapid cell multiplication.  Cancer is invasive and it enlarges and destroys good tissue that is needed for your survival.  Cancer kills because it is invasive and it enlarges, destroys, and crowds out healthy cells.  It steals the life support needed by the body.

Cancer Coming Out of Conflict

Benign, or non-non-cancerous localized fibroid tumors are really coming from a person’s conflict with themselves from self-rejection.  When you find tumors that are cancerous, many times that comes out of conflict with others. Also, cancers that are invasive can metastasize and appear in other parts of the body.  These two have one thing in common and that is bitterness, which compromises the immune system as it pertains to white T cells.  In the Bible it is called dry bones.  Meaning, the bone marrow where white T cells are produced to fight immune diseases, Proverbs 17:22 A merry heart does good, like medicine, but a broken spirit (bitterness, anger, unforgiveness) dries the bones (bone marrow).

If you are struggling with cancer, you have a compromised immune system. The macrophages and killer cells of your immune system do not recognize the antigen marker on the cancer cell identifying it as the enemy.  Not only is the immune system compromised, but the interleukin 1 and interleukin 2 are compromised which inhibits your macrophages (White T Cells) and killer cells from recognizing the antigen marker on the cancer cell. 

The Need to Identify the Enemy

God has created your immune system to identify any antigen markers.  Everything that comes into your body has a marker.  Your immune system is designed to recognize the enemy– viruses, bacteria, cancer, or whatever sickness and disease you are suffering with.  A person with a healthy immune system will not usually be prone to infections.  People that are prone to infections and viral attacks usually have a compromised immune system.  Cancer is not from God.  God is not trying to kill you. God is not trying to teach you a lesson by giving you cancer.

Satan is the one trying to kill you, John 10:7-10   Then Jesus said to them again, “Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.  All who ever came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them.  I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.   Satan is our enemy and he has programmed us with sin to get cancer in 80 percent of all cases. God’s perfect will is not to heal you; His perfect will is that you do not get sick. 

Your immune system has been created with anti-oncogenes (tumor suppressors genes) which protect your cells and cause your immune system to recognize any invaders and destroy them.  Many things can tamper with or destroy them.  Many things can tamper with or destroy this part of your immune system, including radiation.  Contained within each one of your cells is a pair of anti-oncogenes.  If that pair is broken and you have only one anti-oncogene in your cell, then you are termed as vulnerable or susceptible to cancer.  If both anti-oncogenes are destroyed or mutated, your cell is totally compromised and totally vulnerable for mitosis (cell duplication) and tumor development.

For many years, science believed that viruses caused cancer.  Scientist changed their minds a few years ago and now they say viruses do not cause cancer, but they like to show up where body tissue is in trouble.  God did not create viruses.  They can be considered a genetic foreign life force.

Viruses have intelligence and can be activated by thought and emotions.  Emotional life conflicts can also trigger genetic defects in the chromosomes of a person that can be responsible for certain types of cancer developing.  What has been found in Be In Health ministry is that emotional and spiritual injury including conflict and bitterness, as well as a broken heart and loss of a love object can cause feelings of hopelessness and despair (depression) and trigger the destruction of the protective enzymes in cells.

Toxicity Healed by Forgiveness

There are internal influences that can produce toxicity within the body, but there are also external influences that that can produce toxicity such as smoking.  Smoking brings carcinogens that can destroy the anti-oncogenes, causing your cells to become compromised and there is nothing to protect your cells from developing cancer. In addition, each cigarette is a trauma/stressor to the body.  50 years of smoking two packs a day is 730,000 cigarettes.   When you smoke, we are not taking care of the body, the temple of the Holy Spirit.  Caring for ourselves spiritually and physically is taking care of the temple. 

Some toxins are manufactured from within the human body.  The Bible talks about the “poisoned by bitterness” in Acts 8:23 For I see that you are poisoned by bitterness and bound by iniquity (sin).

Time Magazine had an article that mentioned the connection between forgiveness and health; and unforgiveness, bitterness and the development of disease.  A bitter person will develop toxicity, and there will be a stiffening of the membrane of the cells that causes toxins to be retained.  This core of bitterness releases a very lethal chemical in the body.  When combined with the stiffening of the membrane, this build-up toxicity can be as lethal as any external chemical, including PCBs.  Science tells us this chemical in the body is cortisol which will be covered next

It would do well for you to be kind to yourself and others because it many be good for your health.  In other words, do not beat up on yourself and others, especially with what comes out of your mouth in the form of anger and bitterness, James 3:10 Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so.  Nobody is innocent of declared curses.

Immunity Damaged by Fear

Another factor surrounding cancer is damage to white blood cells which produce a compromised immune system.  Cortisol damage to interleukin 2 will not allow your white corpuscles to recognize the antigen marker on the invading tumor.  Cortisol is a very necessary chemical in soothing called the “fight or flight” response, but it is very damaging and can be lethal if it is released by the body like a dripping faucet.  This is called cortisol drip

If cortisol drip is occurring in the body, it produces cell death in the white corpuscles, the macrophages, and killer cells of your immune system. This creates a compromised immune system.  When that happens and interleukin 2 is destroyed by cortisol, then your immune system does not recognize cancer as an invader and cancer cells multiply.

Stress and anxiety, which is called fear in the bible, can release cortisol like a leaky faucet, and science tells us cortisol can destroy the immune system.  This type of fear comes about when a person does not feel loved, and they are unable to give and receive love themselves without fear.  This fear comes out of broken relationships, especially in the family.  If someone has not been kind to you or they abused you, this could cause you to have fear which leads to anger, bitterness, and unforgiveness.   Maybe you have experienced verbal, physical, emotional, or sexual abuse family, spouses, or friends.  Or maybe you have fallen into drivenness, performance, and perfectionism to receive love.  That is a disease maker!  It may be that the only acceptance you ever had was if you did everything right.  This is a disease maker!

Many cancers are coming out of bitterness and rejection by others.  If you have taken the wrongs of another person into your mind, your soul, your personality, and your spirituality, it is a disease maker.  Why should you die because of the sins of another towards you?  That is not a good exchange.  Let them go so that you may live.  Henry Wright has seen stage four terminal cancer disappear when somebody just forgave another person of their trespasses.  What if you forgave another person, and God honored this and by His Spirit removed the cancer form your body?  Forgiveness of people must be done over and over until the things they did to you do not sting anymore. Every time the memory surfaces you forgive them out loud.

The Cure: Reconciliation and Change

The begging of all disease prevention and healing of cancer is to be reconciled to God your Father through Jesus Christ, reconcile to yourself.  This means whatever bitterness, anger, and unforgiveness you have against others, yourself, or an organization (church, political parties, employers, government, etc.) must be addressed.  Again, we do this by forgiving others, yourself organizations, each day as Satan brings it to your attention. Eventually, these issues will minimize. 

According to Scriptures you are fearfully and wonderfully made, you are not a mistake, you are engraved upon the palms of His hands, your name is written down in heaven, and He calls you sons and daughters.  He has accepted you so you can love yourself.  In the area of reconciliation with others, God loves goofy, imperfect people.  The Lord did not come down from heaven to save sinless people.  God in His love sent His only begotten son because God loved us.  You must learn how to forgive others.  This does not mean you condone their sin, but rather, you understand that they do not know what they do.  The most imports intercessory prayer ever came from Jesus in Luke 23:34 Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.”  Based on this scripture, we must understand that sin is a factor in people’s behavior and they do not know what they are doing, so we must forgive them.  It is not negotiable.

It is very discouraging to try to help someone and you end up losing them in the battle instead.  It comes down understanding that it really depends on them.  It is not on us or God.  We must be prepared to be changed.  If we can never say “I want to change,” then we will never change and we will continue to go to doctors and remain sick and diseased.  The work of the Holy Spirit is to allow us to be convicted and be able to change our spirituality and our personality.  Then our bodies physically, mentally, and emotionally will be responders to healing of cancer and any other sickness and disease.
