| LIES ABOUT GOD |
| We are going to take a look at some myths, false beliefs and outright lies that have been told about God. It is important to realize that what you believe is directly proportionate to how good or how badly your life goes. If you believe a lie, you will live that lie. Need an example? If you believe God wants you to be poor to teach you humility, then you will not be able to prosper financially in your life because you will believe it is against God’s Will. You receive what you believe. |

| DOES GOD PUNISH PEOPLE WITH SICKNESS AND DISEASE? |
Lie #5 - We have to have some disease and sickness because it is God's way of punishing sinners
and the disobedient
Are there some diseases we have to deal with because we made a mistake? Do we "have" to develop disease
because we didn't obey Him in something? Did God put aids on homosexuals as punishment?
These and many other questions similar to these have been asked for years. Since I've been saved in the
mid-(what, you thought I was going to tell you how long ago that was? NO way!) - let's just say it's been a long
time. Since even prior to way back then, people have believed God punished people by putting sickness on
them.
As we learned in the previous article, there was permissive and a causitive verbs. God allows what we allow.
Go read that article in the archived section, "God Put's Sickness on Us."
So if we know God does not put disease on people as punishment, then today's question is this: are there some
diseases we have to have because God won't heal them?
The simple answer is NO-NO-NO! I'm just going to show you what I found in Matthew:
Notice how many times it says "ALL." When you use the word "all" that means there is nothing left out. Jesus
healed all sickness and all diseases.
The only time Jesus could not heal people is mentioned in Matthew 13:58 when He was in His hometown. And
what caused Him not to heal? Their unbelief.
So what about the Old Testament? Remember that there were many promises in the Old Testament along with
many curses. When Jesus died on the cross to redeem of from that curse of the Law (Galatians 3:13), He made
the curses in the Old Testament null and void in our lives. The New Testament is simply a better covenant than
the Old but we get to keep the good from the Old Testament, too!
Sometimes we don't understand the King James English and don't realize that we have been redeemed -
delivered - set free - from ALL disease. So if you just check out Deuteronomy 28:15: 15. But it shall come to
pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his
statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee:
And take every curse listed from verse 15 through verse 68 and realize that THIS is what you've been redeemed
from. These curses are no longer active in your life. So just take the opposite. For instance, take verse 27 and
59:
27. The Lord will smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the emerods, and with the scab, and with the itch...
59. Then the Lord will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, and of
long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance.
Botch of Egypt is translated, "ulcer, sores, and boils."
Emerods is translated as "tumors".
Scab is translated "malignant scab, scurvy, eczema, inclurable itch, skin eruptions."
Itch is like having a constant sunburn.
Plague is translated "malignant and obstinate diseases" (sounds like cancer, doesn't it!).
In verse 59, wonderful doesn't mean a good thing; it simply means they are difficult.
Just a simple observation here is that Christ has redeemed us from ulcers, sores, boils, tumors, scabs, scurvy
(Vitamin C deficiency), intches, zits (skin eruptions), eczema, itching, and malignant and obstinate diseases like
cancer and tumors!
That's it for this topic of healing. Remember, Jesus died for you to be healed, whole and healthy in every area
of your life. There isn't ONE disease or sickness He didn't provide healing and deliverance for. Isn't that good
news!?
