Why Are So Many Christians Sick And
Dying?
The first time I remember asking
this question was in 2014 when our Church was in a time of prayer and fasting.
None of us had an answer, just the understanding that sin was in the world and
therefore sickness and disease were rampant in the world and that included
Christians. But none of us had a clear understanding from JEHOVAH Râphâh as to
why so many Christians, especially well know ministers were sick and dying,
even committing suicide.
Sin in the world is the easy, go
to answer, but that leaves a lot of questions about why Christians who are
serving JEHOVAH and overcoming temptation and sin in their life get sick and
sometimes die. Sometimes Christians die in accidents, in natural catastrophes,
as victims of crimes or other reasons not related to persecution. Why?
Many Christians make lame excuses
about death for GOD, “GOD needed them more than we do.” “Well, they are out of
pain now.” Or “They are in a better place now.”
Many christians make lame excuses
for why people do not get healed immediately, “They just don’t have enough
faith.” “They must have some hidden sin in their life.”
If you are a Born Again Christian
and JEHOVAH’s HOLY SPIRIT Lives in you (you are The Temple of JEHOVAH, 1
Corinthians 3:10-17, 2 Corinthians 6:11-18) why are you ever sick? Romans 8:11
says that The HOLY SPIRIT quickens our mortal body, does that not mean we
should never be sick? Actually no, it does not mean that! This passage is about
Eternal Life, The HOLY SPIRIT Lives in our body, so He has to make it Alive
(John 6:60-63) our Eternal Life starts now, even in our mortal body.. In my
study of Romans 8:11 (JEHOVAH’s SPIRIT Quickens Our Body!) I discovered that
Eternal Life is more important than Healing! YESHUA used healing, deliverance
and raising the dead as tools; The Church today should be doing the same. They
are not guaranteed to non-believers or Believers. Every person that teaches
that all Christians should be healthy, happy and well off are misleading
Believers.
The fact is that every person is
unique, every person has a unique Calling and Gift from JEHOVAH that He gives
us in our mother’s womb (Psalm 139:13-18); the reason anyone is sick, injured,
diseased or dies is therefore unique and How JEHOVAH uses that for His Purpose
is according to His Will, Purpose and Timing!
Some examples: Ordinary people of
JEHOVAH being disabled (Leviticus 19:14; JEHOVAH’s servants being sick
(Leviticus 22:4); person’s sickness being for JEHOVAH’s Glory (John 9:1-12); sickness
for the Witness of JEHOVAH’s Salvation (John 11:11-16, 38-44); people not being
healed by JESUS (Acts 3:1-10).
In our studies we concentrate on
the healings and deliverances and ignore the fact that not everyone gets healed
or delivered.
When you are asked to pray for
someone, if it is on the spot, then pray to The HOLY SPIRIT to show you what
and how to pray before you pray for the person or situation.
If you have time, seek The HOLY
SPIRIT to show you the situation and The Father’s Purpose and Timing, to give
you words or Scriptures for the person or situation before you pray.
Many times it is the failure of
the person praying, whose words discourage the person being prayed for. If you
are willing to pray for people on the spot than you should be prayed up in your
own life so that you will hear The SPIRIT; remember YESHUA said many times, “He
who has an ear to hear, let him hear what The SPIRIT is saying.” If you are
prayed up in your own life, family and ministry, if your are full of The Word
of JEHOVAH, then you are ready to hear what The SPIRIT is saying and to pray
with Understanding and Faith.
Many of these situations are of
those mysteries that will remain with us until CHRIST Reigns over the Nations
or maybe not until The New Heavens and earth. Always it is The Will and Purpose
of JEHOVAH that we are seeking and praying for and we do not understand what it
is that ELOHIM is doing (Isaiah 55:8-10; Romans 11:33-36).
