I was visiting a church last night and when they started their service, they said they had bitter/good news, that a member was no longer in pain and he had the victory, he had passed on and was with Jesus.  He continued to suggest people pray for the wife and children during this time of loss.

This type of thing makes me wonder how many people have to die before the church wakes up and, at the very least, acknowledge there is a problem and perhaps suggest steps to move in a direction to a remedy.  Some of you who are reading this might not have a clue at what “problem” I am even referring.  Maybe you are one of those that needs woke up…

The Problem

After being in a place of need of a healing, I researched the topic with a great deal of prayer and study during a period of over two years.  The conclusion was eye opening and clearly pointed to a Last Days of this Age Church that is sleeping and superficial, they are not fully trusting in God nor many of them even reading His Word, or if they are they are mutating the Word into some form of Christian Ease that strips its power and relies on the natural for everything.

Scriptures point to Healing as being part of the atonement.  That is, when you are Born Again, you are now in a place where Healing belongs to you as well as your salvation.  Since it is part of the atonement, God does not control or limit it in any way, it is simply by Faith with no Doubts just like your salvation.  Most churches have changed this message to say:

• God sometimes puts sickness on you to teach you a listen
• God sometimes puts sickness on you to let you reach someone you might not otherwise
• It is all in God’s timing and that He may not want you healed it is something you are to endure until death and bring glory to God.
• God uses many ways to heal you and cutting out large parts of your body and making you a cripple or unable to live with any quality of life, may be the method God chooses to heal you

Those are all lies straight from the devil.  The source of all sickness and disease is the devil regardless of what you think.  One of the reasons I say this is that we had no sickness or disease in the Garden of Eden until after they sinned and authority over this world was handed over to Satan.  The Bible is QUITE clear that it is the thief that comes to steal kill and destroy, that our adversary like a roaring lion goes around seeking whom he may devour.  It is his world and all the corruption thereof.  In Acts it says that Jesus went around healing all that were oppressed of the devil.  The woman with the issue of blood, Jesus said she was bound for over eighteen years by Satan.  I am not going in to detail in the post about healing, Paul’s thorn, or any of that stuff, it is already here on the site and on TheAwakening.com.

So, healing is for us, every Christian should be healed and the Bible says for those that are in need, to call for the elders of the church and have them anoint them with oil and pray over them and they shall be healed.  My question here is, “Where are the elders”.  I know of NO church in this country that this passage is fully working.  There is supposed to be people that you can call and help those that are not walking in perfect faith without doubts, but unfortunately, the true elders DO NOT exist at this time.

So, what is the problem with what was said at the beginning of this post?  The problem is that churches do not want to admit there is a problem, that elders do not exist that most people are on their own to receive from God.  Isn’t that a little harsh?  NO!  What is harsh is how churches will continue to go on under the same schedule and act like nothing is wrong, while people die inside and outside their church of sickness. 

In the example at the start of this post, he mentioned the person now has victory, no it is not a victory, the person left this world in defeat to the enemy and the enemy rejoices.  Why would the enemy rejoice?  Because it is yet another testimony that they enemy has defeated a praying church and stole the life of one of their members.  I do not blame the member of course, it is the entire church that is at fault and not just one church, the Church as a whole.  We have for too long ignored the promises of God and many taught all kinds of excuses, making the Word of God of none effect.

Image if someone came inside this person’s home, took the man outside on the lawn, shot him, killing him and they ran away and was not caught.  The church I would imagine would go into prayer that the man would be found and mourn over the loss.  The difference here would be the the church could not prevent someone from breaking into the man’s house and killing him, but we ARE supposed to prevent people from having the enemy take their life with sickness.  We are supposed to lay hands on them and the see them recover.

Is it time for sackcloth, ashes and fasting, crying out to God for repentance over allowing this evil in our churches?  What will wake the people up and see the truth from the Word and not COMPROMISE the Word?  Healing is for every Christian and if they leave this world in sickness, then it is victory for the enemy.  Yes the person makes it to heaven, but their testimony is one of the power of the enemy over the church through people who do not stand up for the Word of our Living God.

Every death of a Christian with sickness should bring the church to a cry of repentance and one of seeking God until the elders can be restored, and doctors and their worldly fixes are no longer needed.  No Christian should ever have to have health care, we already have the best plan from the stripes of Jesus and it comes with the best retirement plan along with it!
