About stopping illness…
Acts 28:27 For this people's heart has become calloused; they hardly hear
with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with
their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I
would heal them.' (NIV)
We can stop illness in our body. We can stop getting sick. Most importantly,
we can stop illness from ravaging our life. It is as common as the common cold
that when we think we have little or no control over whether we get sick…we
get sick. We often think we have little control over illness and sickness that
is already upon us. The truth is we can do a lot to hold off illness and
disease. By living right, by eating right, by getting exercise, by getting
regular medical check-ups, by praying every day, by keeping our hearts, minds,
and souls in top condition, we can hold off illness and sickness. If we are
already sick or ill, there is a lot we can do to help our healing. God gave us a
healing power over our life, yet we use little of this power. Instead, when
sickness or illness comes to us, we easily give up and give in. Our objective
every hour should be to glorify God. When we fight back against sickness and
illness, we are glorifying God in our life. God designed you and wants you to be
well. Satan wants you to be sick. The way our reality works, you can pick the
side you are going to root for and be a part of. The way our reality works, we
are not fans in the stands, instead, we are all players on the field of battle.
You can chose God's team that seeks wellness and health by active pursuit or you
can chose Satan's team of sickness and illness by passively giving up and losing
hope.
