Saints are called upon to move against
disease and suffering in prayer:
*Even though “for now we see in a
mirror, dimly”
*Even though healing does not always
occur
*Even though healing does not restore
our glorified-body nature lost in man’s fall
*Even though healing does not stop the
insidious disease of aging
*Even though we should be “eagerly
waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body”
*Even though healing delays our
translation through death’s door into the presence of the Lord, which is “far
better”
*Even though healing is only a Band-Aid,
a temporary fix, the desire of an earth-bound mindset
Hear the words of the Apostle Paul: “For
to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain. For I am hard-pressed between the
two, having a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better … For we
know that if our earthly house, this tent, is destroyed, we have a building
from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. For in this we
groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed with our habitation which is from
heaven … Now He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who also has
given us the Spirit as a guarantee … We are confident, yes, well pleased rather
to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.”
Saints are still called upon to move
against disease and suffering in prayer. But remember, death is the destiny of
every saint until the Lord comes to Snatch Away His Jewels... So, we have to
die sometime… And, we have to die of something…
“WE HAVE A BUILDING FROM
GOD,
A HOUSE NOT MADE WITH HANDS,
ETERNAL IN THE HEAVENS”
(1 Cor. 13:12; Rom. 8:23; 2 Cor. 5:1-8; Phil. 1:21-23)
