Proverbs 18:14 (AMPC)
    The strong spirit of a man sustains him in bodily pain or trouble, but a weak and broken spirit who can raise up or bear?

 

Millions of Christians are not attending church at least on a regular basis. Or maybe some do but let things like work, family, feelings etc., keep them away from time to time. They’re not reading their Bible, they’re not praying, and they’re not praising and worshipping God, so they’re getting weaker every day. It’s not so noticeable because it happens gradually, but then “boom!” …and a lot of folks don’t make it.

 

If you are smart, you would read your Bible every day. You would read it with great faith hungry for revelation, and you would be in every church service. You would not miss a service, and you would do everything the Lord tells you to do and that is how you keep your spirit strong.

 

Day after day, week after week, you will get stronger and stronger, a continued reinforcement by the power of God released when you study, pray and praise. This will strengthen you for the days to come and the months and years ahead. When your spirit-man is strong in the Word and the Spirit nothing will happen that you are not prepared for and strong enough to deal with.

 

You will be ready, and able, so you will overcome and overcome! You will triumph again and again and win! You will be healed, delivered, and have victory again and again! That’s the will of God for all of us.

 

Again, the strong spirit of a man sustains him in bodily pain and trouble. 

 

Sickness is a spiritual condition manifested in the physical body. (John 7:38, Proverbs 18:14)  What is on the inside of you will manifest on the outside of you.

 

I can’t stop the devil from tempting me, but I am authorized to resist the temptation of symptoms. When I feel symptoms in my body that is the sickness tempting me to be sick. Symptoms are nothing but the sickness accusing you of being sick. If you stay home from work, church etc., because of sickness that is because you came into agreement with the symptoms and are now bowing to full blown sickness.

 

No one is your judge, God is not mad at you but it hurts His heart to see us suffer from what He paid such a high price to give us.  

 

Philippians 3:10
    That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;

 

To know Him in the fellowship of His suffering means to experience every promise He has given us. (II Corinthians 1:20)

 

Have a wonderful week everyone and remember that Jesus is coming soon!!!
