Are You Sick
and Diseased?
Disclaimer: I don’t belong to any specific church,
but what I write is for all churches according to the Word of God.
Why are we going into church service sick and diseased and
we leave sick and diseased when God promises healing? People’s first choice for sickness and
disease are doctors. Doctors treat the symptoms and we remain sick and
diseased. Doctors prescribe $866
billion dollars in medicines per year that treat the symptoms. Yet people remain sick and diseased. God promises and prayers don’t appear be an
option. Why is this so?
The Merck Manual has over 3,000 sicknesses and disorders
listed. Adam and Eve had ZERO prior to
eating the fruit. Unfortunately for us
all, they sinned by eating the fruit.
They disobeyed God and things have gotten worse for us all because of
their initial sin and our sins through the centuries.
In addition, the Bible tells us in Deuteronomy 28:15-68
that disobedience, which is sin, causes sickness and disease and even gives us
examples of sicknesses and diseases.
Jesus tells us why we are sick and diseased as well.
Then they asked him, “Who is the Man who said to you,
‘Take up your bed and walk’?” 13 But the one who was healed did not know who it
was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a multitude being in that place. 14 Afterward
Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, “See, you have been made well. Sin no more, lest a worse thing (additional
sins) come upon you.” 15 The man departed and told the Jews that it was
Jesus who had made him well, John 5:12-15. Every sickness and diseased is
because of sin according to the Bible.
Jesus instructed us all before he went to be with the Father
what we should be doing in Mark 16:15-18 Mark 16:15-18 And He said to them,
“Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He who
believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be
condemned. 17 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they
will cast out demons (evil spirits); they will speak with new tongues;
18 they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no
means hurt them; they will lay hands (pray) on the sick, and they will
recover.” Why does the body of
Christ choose to ignore this?
I have visited numerous churches and not one has followed
what Jesus told us to do as a church.
Why is this so? Less than 5% or
less of people bring their Bible to church service and most are the
elderly. I have yet to see church leadership
or the flock cast out evil spirits or pray for the causes that lead to sickness
and disease symptoms. Why is this so? Motivational and feel-good sermons do not
heal the sick and diseased.
Bottom line is we are called to bring people out of
captivity because we ALL struggle with sin.
Isaiah 61:1 The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me,
Because the Lord has anointed Me To preach good tidings to the poor; He has
sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, And the
opening of the prison to those who are bound;
Luke 4:18 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, Because He
has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the
brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the
blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed.
Why is the church of Jesus Christ not bringing people out of
captivity? Does God’s Word give us an
option? People are suffering and we continue to let Satan keep us in captivity? Why is the body of Jeus Christ so fearful of
carrying out the Great Commission in Mark 16:15-18?
My ministry for the past 20 years has been praying to bring
people out of captivity. Biggest
ministry obstacle is people don’t really believe in healing based on their
actions. And they and do not make themselves available for continuous prayer
even though God promises healing. They ignore God and go to doctors who
prescribe medicines and remain sick and diseased. We, as a Body of Jesus Christ refuse to do
what Jesus did in His ministry. Very sad.
Nobody likes being sick and diseased. God is waiting for us to change our ways so
that we can come out of captivity. What
say you?
Matthew 3:1-2 In those days John the Baptist came
preaching in the wilderness of Judea, 2 and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of
heaven is at hand!”
Matthew 4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach and to
say, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”
Mark 1:14-15 Now after John was put in prison, Jesus came
to Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, 15 and saying, “The
time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in
the gospel.”
Change your ways and do what God instructs us to do as we
wait for the coming of Jesus Christ!! Tony 10-13-25
