No More Medicine Man

It was fun how this revelation came to me. Most of the people in our Church know that when I get sick, I don't take medicine. Just water, rest and declaration of the word of God. It's not that I have anything against medicine, it's just where my faith is. And all through those few times that I got sick, I did recover. And my recovery was even much faster than when I used to take meds. And by the way, as far as I can remember, I never had been sick since Gab was born, which means that is about 2 years already. Gab's turning 2 in April. Normally, I would get really sick at least once in a year.

And so I was meditating whether it is really right not to take medicine? Medicine does help. But which is better, not taking medicine or taking medicine?

I was asking myself, if Jesus came to give us life and He came already and He is now back to where He was from, then His purpose for coming here was already accomplished, for He cannot fail. (I got into this line of thinking from listening to Pastor Chris).

And then the Holy Spirit made me remember what the Lord Jesus said: It is not the healthy that needs the physician but the sick. So suddenly my spirit leaped in the inside of me and I said to myself: Ha! I do not need the physician. He is for the sick and I am not sick! : ) The bits and pieces of the word of God just fits neatly, and tightly together.  

It may appear to some that I went out of context there, but that is how the Holy Spirit works in me. That is how He gives light to the treasures that are in the Word. No wonder how He says, my words are spirit and they are life. And I truly believe that unless we look into the spirit of those words, we will never benefit anything no matter how right we are in context.

I do not mean to give offense to the Medical profession but I really am convinced that the Medical profession is not for Christians for Christians are not sick. And to even take you further down the road, we are in fact dead already. And yet we live, but it is no longer us who live but it is Christ who lives in us. And Christ really doesn't need a physician. In fact He himself is the Physician and He completed His task of healing His people already.

You see we are not going to be saved, we are saved already. We are not going to Zion, we have arrived! That is in Heb 12:22. Read it, I'm not making up all these. And about Zion, the inhabitant there shall not say I am sick. That is in Isa 33:24. See again, there is power in agreeing and declaring the word of God. That's the principle of faith. Believe it with your heart and confess it with your mouth. Look it up in Rom 10:9-10.

And so I resolve in my heart, we don't need no medicine man. The physician is for the sick and we're not sick. And we will not be sick anymore for the rest of our lives.

Why Faith?

Why faith? What is there that we need to know about faith? Why is it that without faith it is impossible to please God? Why did the Lord say, according to your faith be it done unto you? And a lot of times did He say, rise and go your way, your faith has made you well. What is faith? One thing is settled in my heart. It’s not really something so out of this world or something so mind blowing. The Bible does not refer to a special thing or meaning when it talks about faith, or some great mystery hidden behind it. It is as plain and simple as described in the common dictionary. Faith is but the strong belief or conviction in one’s heart. What ever you believe in, that is where your faith is. So when God talks about faith, He means a strong conviction in one’s heart, not doubting, but a firm unwavering conviction that His Word is a settled truth, not subject to debate or argument or whatever. It is settled. Walking by faith and not by sight simply means that we don’t change what we be

The Genealogy and the Gospel of Christ

That I have been introduced to two individuals now who strongly subscribe to John Calvin’s doctrines has got me thinking seriously about this subject. And so for more than a couple of months now, my reading of the Scriptures has been greatly influenced and directed towards the subject of election and predestination and God’s exercise of His absolutely sovereign  will. The book of genealogies never appealed to me and I never really got any significance from it. But today as I read through those genealogies again, something hit me really strongly. The book of genealogies actually is evidence of the move of the mighty hand of God to preserve a people for Himself. In Genesis chapter 5, at verse 4 it says: “The days of Adam after he fathered Seth were 800 years; and he had other sons and daughters.” I asked myself: What about the other sons and daughters were they not significant to God? The answer came rather quickly. They were all significant, but Seth was more significant because alon

Working Out Salvation

Php 2:12-15 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. (13) For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. (14) Do all things without murmurings and disputings: (15) That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;  Just to remove the misconstruction here, ‘work out’ is not synonymous with ‘work for’. The former means to develop while the latter means to earn. Salvation is not earned. It is freely given of God. He made it that way so that no one can boast. But salvation needs to be developed so that we may reap its fruits. Christians struggle with their faith because after that they have received the Lord Jesus they still face the same problems, the same struggles, the same circumstances even long after that they became
