In other words, if you say in your prayers, “IF it is Your will”, then that is DOUBTING what you are praying. So never pray, saying, “IF it is Your will” to God. But rather, KNOW and understand what the WILL of Almighty God is, BEFORE you pray. Then you can have FAITH in your prayer. You can have FAITH that God will hear and answer your prayer! For you see, you will KNOW for SURE that you are praying for His WILL to be done. And God always watches over His word to PERFORM and bring to pass His WILL! Matthew 6:10 says. “Your kingdom will come, YOUR WILL be done IN earth, as it is in heaven.” It is God’s desire. It is God’s decision. It is God’s design. It is God’s good pleasure. It is God’s WILL to be “heaven on earth” so to speak. In other words, God desires His WILL to be accomplished IN earth just as His WILL is carried out or accomplished in heaven. So ask yourself the following questions. “What is it like in heaven? Is there any sickness or disease in heaven?” Absolutely not! Therefore, it is God’s WILL that there also be absolutely NO sickness or disease of any kind whatsoever on earth. And it is OUR job to pray and BELIEVE for God’s WILL to be done in our earthen vessel. God has already done His part. Now it is our turn to do our part which is to pray and believe DAILY for His WILL to be accomplished on earth in our earthen vessel of our physical body just like it is in heaven. So again, “What is it like in heaven?” Is there SINNING in heaven? Again, the obvious answer is absolutely NOT! Therefore, it is God’s WILL to eradicate ALL sin, not only in our earthen vessel just as it is in heaven, but eventually, God will eradicate ALL sin from the entire earth. And in the New Earth after the 1000 year reign of Jesus, there will be no more SEA or no more SIN. The word “sea” is used “prophetically” as wickedness or evil in the world.
Matthew 5:48 says. “Be you perfect EVEN AS your Father in heaven is perfect.” And in 1 John 3:3, we read.
“And every man that has this HOPE in him purifies himself, EVEN AS he is pure.”
Do you have the HOPE abiding in you to receive a new glorified immortal body as Jesus has now? If so, then God expects all who have this HOPE in them to purify themselves even as Jesus is pure by keeping sin out of their lives. There are two ways to be PERFECT even as our Father in heaven is PERFECT. One way to to never sin again, which is the BEST way. And the other way is to REPENT and CONFESS your sins faithfully without trying to EXCUSE your sins. God already set us free from sin by the shed blood of His son Jesus, but it is OUR job to see that the WILL of God of KEEPING SIN out of our lives is accomplished IN these earthen vessels which this new creation of our INNER man dwells in.
Romans 6:14 says.
“For SIN shall NOT have dominion over you: for you are not under the law but under grace.” I ALSO want you to notice that this verse in Matthew 6:10 says “IN earth” as opposed to saying ON the earth. If you recall, the book of Genesis tells us that God formed man from the DIRT. In other words, God formed us out of EARTH. So in reality, we are vessels made of EARTH. Therefore, it would not be much of a stretch to say, “Thy kingdom come thy WILL be done IN ME, your earthen vessel, as it is in heaven.” Besides, before we can effectively make a difference in the world there has to be a change IN us or in the vessel of our body formed from the earth. In other words, we will only be able to change the world one earthen vessel at a time. Again, I want to drive home the fact that God has already finished the work on Calvary to destroy sickness, disease, and sin, but it is our job to carry out His WILL in the earth as it is in heaven. However, we cannot FORCE God’s WILL on others. We can only warn them of the coming Day of Judgment and keep OUR earthen vessel CLEANSED from all unrighteousness. Now, the world does NOT understand that God CLEANSES us from all unrighteousness. And therefore, to be an EXAMPLE for them to SEE, we must live WITHOUT giving into temptations to sin. And they will be drawn to the LIGHT to desire what we have in God and His Son, Jesus. Jesus said in John 14:12. “These works you shall do, and even greater works shall you do because I go to the Father.”
So then, the Will of God is for us, as Christians, to be doing the same works that Jesus did through the Holy Spirit who dwelt in him. We are the BODY of Christ in the earth or IN earthen vessels. We are his hands, feet, eyes, ears, and mouth on the earth in these earthen vessels. Each one of us plays a vital part in seeing to it that God’s WILL is done in each earthen vessel as it is in heaven. And when we do our part, then God’s Will is done ON the earth concerning us. And then, people will see the difference in us from the sinners in the world. 1 Corinthians 3:6-9 tells us that some Christians plant the seed of God’s word while some Christians water the seed of God’s word. But it is Almighty God Himself who always gives the increase! God will always be faithful to perform His word! Isaiah 55:10,11 says.
“For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, and returns not thither, but waters the earth, and makes it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: 11. So shall my word be that goes out of my mouth; it shall not return unto me void, but it will accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I send it.” Each and every time we SPEAK forth God’s word, God sends it forth to accomplish what it is designed to do. We are nothing more than a sower sowing the word OF Almighty God and His Son, Jesus. God said He would CONFIRM His word with signs following. In other words, there will be physical evidence to prove that God is fulfilling or performing His spoken word, if we believe and doubt not in our hearts. Therefore, if we will plant God’s word in FAITH, then God will see to it that it grows and bears fruit. But IF we waver and doubt in the seeds of God’s word that we plant and water, then that is like a farmer going out and DIGGING UP the seeds that he planted to SEE if they are growing. Those seeds will never grow unless the farmer TRUSTS in the process of planting and watering AND allowing TIME for the seeds to GROW and produce the FRUIT that they were created by God to produce. Jeremiah 1:12 says it this way. “I will HASTEN to PERFORM my word.”
God has already done His part, but God has also given us OUR PART to do. And if we will do our part, then God will surely do His part and honor His word. The question is, “Are all Christians truly doing their part?” Matthew 7:21-23 says. “Not everyone that says unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that DOES the WILL of my Father which is in heaven. 22. Many will say to me on that day, Lord, Lord, have WE not prophesied in your name? And in your name have cast out devils? And in your name, done many wonderful works? 23. And then I will profess unto THEM, (Speaking of TRUE BORN-AGAIN BELIEVERS who were FILLED with the Holy Spirit) I never knew you: (Or more precisely, those that DIE in their sin, to THEM, it will be like Jesus NEVER KNEW them to begin with. And to those Christians living in a lifestyle of sin when Jesus comes, to THEM, Jesus will say) DEPART from me, you that work (PRESENT TENSE, as in, they will be actively living in a lifestyle of sin when they die or when Jesus comes. And Jesus will say to them depart from me you that work) INIQUITY.” The word iniquity means sin. Now, SOME Christians believe and teach the FALSE DOCTRINE of ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED and they INTERPRET this verse to mean that THESE who will be told to DEPART from Jesus were NOT TRUE BORN-AGAIN believers because of the phrase “...I NEVER knew you…”. And their line of REASON is that the word NEVER proves without a doubt that THESE who will be told to DEPART were NOT TRUE BORN-AGAIN BELIEVERS. But I will PROVE to you without any shadow of a doubt, NOT by REASON, but RATHER, by the WORD of Almighty God that THESE who were TOLD to DEPART from Jesus will be, IN FACT, TRUE BORN-AGAIN BELIEVERS “living” in SIN.
Please read Acts 19:13-16 which says. “Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preaches. (In other words, those who were NOT TRULY BORN-AGAIN tried to USE the NAME of Jesus to CAST OUT devils by saying something like, “In the NAME of Jesus, whom Paul preaches, WE adjure or we command you.” But they could NOT cast out devils. THEREFORE, the ONLY way to cast out devils is to TRULY be saved. So then, there will be true born-again Christians, who at one time in their life, cast out devils. But then, they became DECEIVED and backslid to return to living in SIN. And Jesus will say to them, DEPART from me, you WORKERS of sin) 14. And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so. 15. And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus, I KNOW, and Paul I KNOW; but WHO are you? 16. And the man in whom the evil spirit was LEAPED on THEM, (Who were NOT TRULY BORN AGAIN and TRIED USING the NAME of Jesus to CAST OUT devils, and these very devils LEAPED on THEM) and overcame them, and prevailed against them so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.” Now to me, this verse absolutely proves, without a doubt, that any person that is NOT TRULY BORN-AGAIN CANNOT CAST OUT devils IN the NAME of Jesus. But RATHER, a person MUST FIRST KNOW Jesus and be KNOWN of Jesus and be found faithful IN Jesus by having a TRUE BORN-AGAIN experience of the WASHING of REGENERATION of the Holy Spirit. For you see, a person must be saved FIRST, BEFORE a person receives the earnest of God’s Holy Spirit to dwell in them in order to be EMPOWERED and GIVEN the AUTHORITY to USE the NAME of Jesus to CAST OUT DEVILS. THEREFORE, when Jesus will say to those who CAST OUT DEVILS IN his NAME to DEPART from him, his DECISION will be BASED SOLELY upon the WORK they are PRESENTLY doing. In other words, it is a FACT that THESE who WERE, past tense, ONCE TRUE BORN-AGAIN BELIEVERS fell from grace. And thus, they are DOING, as in, PRESENT tense at the time of the coming of Jesus, living in a lifestyle of SIN. In other words, the Holy Spirit will never leave or forsake us WHILE we are still yet living or until Jesus returns, even when a Christian is living in a lifestyle of sin. BUT, if that Christian does NOT walk after the Spirit to REPENT and CONFESS their sin, then there is nothing that Jesus can do except to say to them to DEPART from him, you WORKERS of sin. For you see, God is longsuffering waiting for sinners to repent of their sins, including sinning Christians. Our receiving eternal life is conditional based on the WORK that we will be doing at the moment we die or at the moment Jesus returns, whichever comes first. We will NOT be judged by God weighing all our good works against all our bad works to see if our good works outweigh our bad works. The Scripture says WORK, as in, our final work of either walking in righteousness or walking in unrighteousness is what will JUDGE us. Therefore, all the GOOD mighty works done by those Christians in the PAST before they returned to living in sin will not be REMEMBERED. For you see, they REMOVED themselves out of RIGHT RELATIONSHIP with God BY their WORK of INIQUITY or the WORKING of SIN that they were PRESENTLY IN WHEN they DIED or Jesus COMES AGAIN. And thus, it BECAME as IF Jesus NEVER KNEW them, BECAUSE their last acts or last WORKS were that of INIQUITY or SIN. And the WAGES of SIN is DEATH and NOT ETERNAL LIFE. BE NOT DECEIVED by the FALSE DOCTRINE of ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED!
For a deeper understanding of this subject, if a true born-again believer LOSE his or her salvation, please read ALL of the studies under the heading >>>F-0. Can we LOSE ETERNAL LIFE?<<< But for now, I ALSO want to point out that there is a DIFFERENCE between being SAVED, as in, HEARING the gospel and BELIEVING in Jesus. For you see, TRUE FAITH or truly believing in Jesus produces WORKS such as REPENTING and being BAPTIZED in WATER. We all receive the indwelling of the Holy Spirit the very moment we believe and repent. But not all Christians SEEK to be BAPTIZED in the Holy Spirit to overflowing known as being FILLED with the Holy Spirit.
Please read Acts 8:5-24 which says.
“Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria and preached Christ unto them. 6. And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spoke, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. 7. For unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. 8. And there was great joy in that city. 9. But there was a certain man, called Simon, which before time in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one: (Speaking of PRIDE and boasting) 10. To whom (Speaking of Simon the sorcerer in those days in the past, to Simon) they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God. 11. And to him they had regard because that of a long time he had bewitched them with sorceries. 12. But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. (In other words, there was a CHANGE in their lifestyle or way of living) 13. Then Simon HIMSELF believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, (So Simon was indeed SAVED, baptized in the name of Jesus, and continued with Philip) and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done. 14. Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John: 15. Who, when they had come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost: 16. For AS YET He (Speaking of the Holy Spirit) had fallen upon NONE of them: ONLY they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. (Which CLEARLY shows us that they ALL were SAVED. But AS YET they had NOT RECEIVED the BAPTISM of the Holy Spirit to be filled to overflowing and speaking in other tongues as the Holy Spirit gave them utterance) 17. Then they laid their hands on them, and they RECEIVED the Holy Ghost. (Which the unsaved cannot receive until they get saved) 18. And when Simon SAW (Saw what? When Simon the sorcerer saw those twelve speaking in other tongues) that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was GIVEN, he offered them money, (This teaches us that there had to have been some OUTWARD SIGN that could be SEEN or HEARD to know that they had been GIVEN the Holy Spirit) 19. Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may RECEIVE the Holy Ghost. 20. But Peter said unto him, Your money perishes with you, because you have thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money. 21. You have neither part nor lot in this matter: for your heart is not right in the sight of God. 22. Repent, therefore, of this, your WICKEDNESS, and pray to God, if perhaps the thought of your heart, may be forgiven you. 23. For I perceive that you are in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of INIQUITY. (Now, we are not told if Simon repented and confessed his sin to be forgiven. Now, IF he did not repent and confess his sin then Jesus will tell Simon to depart from him even though Simon had indeed been saved and was baptized) 24. Then Simon answered, and said, You pray to the Lord for me, that none of these things which you have spoken come upon me.” The Bible clearly teaches that ONLY those who DO, as in, PRESENT TENSE are DOING the WILL of God shall ENTER into the kingdom of God. It is God’s WILL for you to live your life completely free from any and all SIN. It is equally true that it is God’s WILL for you to live your life completely free from any and all SICKNESS and DISEASE.
Look at 1 John 3:8 which says. “He that commits SIN is of the devil: for the devil sins from the beginning. For this PURPOSE the Son of God was manifested, that he might DESTROY the works of the devil.”
This does not mean that a Christian who lives in sin loses their salvation AT THAT moment in time. For you see, God’s Holy Spirit dwelling in them will never leave or forsake a sinning Christian living in sin, until they draw their last breath or until Jesus returns, whichever comes first. So there is HOPE that they will WALK AFTER the Spirit to REPENT and CONFESS their living in sin. In other words, ANY Christian can become deceived to refuse to obey the leading of the Holy Spirit to REPENT and confess their sins and walk in righteousness. Even SOME Christians wrongly teach that after they accept Jesus, then they never have to repent or confess ANY of their sins. That is to say, according to THEIR interpretation of the Scriptures, they are eternally saved. And to THEM, they can never lose that salvation no matter what they do or do not do. And thus, THEY WRONGLY teach that a Christians NEVER has to REPENT and CONFESS their sins. Now, to me, those Christians have become DECEIVED to wrongly think that it is impossible to overcome sin in this present world. They have failed to see and understand that the moment a Christian repents and confesses their sin that they are made PERFECT in the eyes of God once again. They have failed to see that sin STAINS our garment that Jesus cleansed with his shed blood. So if you are a Calvinistic, Reformed Theology, or Grace Alone Christian then I implore you to read all the studies under the heading >>>Cc-0. Is Calvinism Biblical?<<< The word “destroy” the WORKS of the devil here means to totally eradicate in such a way that it is impossible to rebuild. And eventually, all evil will one day be destroyed forever. God’s WILL is that the works of the devil be DESTROYED in our lives during this present world so that we can help others destroy the works of the devil in their lives during this present world. So then, what are the works of the devil? Acts 10:38 tells us that Jesus went about doing good which is God’s WILL. And Jesus also went about HEALING ALL who were being oppressed by the devil. It is NOT God who oppresses people with sickness and disease. But rather, one of the WORKS of Satan, the Devil is to OPPRESS people with sickness and disease. Read it for yourself. Here is what Acts 10:38 says.
“How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good and HEALING ALL that were oppressed of the devil: for God was with him.”
This verse of Scripture clearly shows us that Satan is the one responsible for oppressing mankind with sickness and disease. And this verse also teaches us that it is always God’s WILL to destroy the works of the devil by Almighty God healing those that are oppressed with sickness and disease. So then, divine healing is the WILL of God for ALL people to be healed. In fact, being healed is one of the meanings of the Greek word “sozo” which is translated as being saved. Please read the study E-12. WHAT DOES BEING SAVED TRULY MEAN? For you see, some Christians are never taught about their BENEFITS in this present world that comes with being saved.
John 10:10 says. “The thief comes not but for to steal, kill and destroy, but I have come that they might have LIFE and that they may have it (Speaking of the LIFE we are NOW living in this PRESENT world that they may LIVE their life) MORE ABUNDANTLY.”
This phrase “more abundant life” means exceedingly, going beyond, full, having an advantage, more than, greater, vehement or strong, and superfluous or overflowing. In other words, abundant life exceeds, surpasses, outdoes, is better than, and is greater than all other life. Abundant life goes beyond the limits or standards of life, in that, abundant life is far more superior than just normal life. Abundant life gives us an advantage, so start taking advantage of your abundant life that Jesus came to give you. It is God’s WILL for us to have and walk in the fullness of abundant life. Jesus came to do the Father’s WILL. The very fact that God sent his only begotten Son to the earth to suffer and die proves beyond any shadow of a doubt that it is God’s decision, it is God’s desire, it is God’s good pleasure, it is God’s WILL to save and heal ALL of mankind. Everything that Jesus did was the WILL of God his Father.
John 4:34 says. “Jesus said unto them, My meat is to do the WILL of Him that sent me and to finish HIS work.”
John 5:30 says it this way. “I can of my own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just because I seek not my own will, but the WILL of the Father which sent me.”
All the mighty works that Jesus did was the WILL of Almighty God that sent him into the earth and anointed him with the Holy Ghost and power to do these works. In Matthew 8:2,3 we read that a leper came up to Jesus and said to Jesus, IF it is your will then I know that you CAN heal me but I am not sure that healing me is your will. And that is the way SOME Christians believe today. They simply do NOT KNOW that it is God’s WILL to heal them. Matthew 8:2. “Lord, IF you WILL you can make me clean.”
You see the leper knew that Jesus was ABLE to heal him, but he did not know for sure if it was Jesus’ WILL to heal him. Jesus settled that question or doubt of whether or not it is Almighty God the Father’s WILL to heal when Jesus answered the leper in verse 3 saying, yes. I WILL, be you CLEAN. Matthew 8:3a. “I WILL, be you clean…”
Immediately, the leper was cleansed of his leprosy. The Bible makes it perfectly clear that it is always God’s WILL to heal, because a few verses later in this same passage of Scripture, Jesus answered another man saying I will come and heal him. But the centurion said that he was not worthy for Jesus to come to his house. And he told Jesus to speak the word only and his servant would be healed. Matthew 8:7.
“I WILL come and HEAL him.” The word of God teaches in John 14:9 that whosoever sees Jesus sees the Father. In other words, Jesus HEALED everyone everywhere he went because he came to do the WILL of Almighty God. It is God’s WILL that ALL men receive their salvation that He freely provided for us with a great price of the sacrifice of His Son. And it is equally God’s WILL that ALL mankind receive their HEALING and walk in perfect health, which He also freely provided for us at the very high cost of His Son. Jesus did not bare those stripes in VAIN. Jesus WILLINGLY took those stripes upon himself so that we could walk free from sickness and disease during THIS present world. So then, RECEIVE what has already been provided for you and enjoy the BENEFITS of the ABUNDANT LIFE that God provided for you during this present world. Be healed in the name of Jesus. The ONLY time that we are told that Jesus did not heal everyone was in Mark 6:5,6. In that passage of Scripture, we are told that Jesus COULD NOT do many mighty works except healing only a few people, because of THEIR unbelief. Notice that the word of God says COULD NOT and NOT that he would not. So then, Jesus was WILLING to heal whosoever would come and receive their healing, but Jesus COULD not heal very many. And the reason Jesus gave to us that he COULD NOT heal them is because of THEIR UNBELIEF. Do not just take my word for it.
Read it for yourself, here is Mark 6:5,6. “And he could do NO mighty work there, save he laid his hands on a few sick folks, and healed them. 6. And he marveled (Why?) because of THEIR UNBELIEF. And he went roundabout the villages, teaching.”
The only cure for UNBELIEF is the knowledge of the truth. This is why Jesus went round about TEACHING. My people are destroyed for LACK of KNOWLEDGE. This is why the Bible teaches us to pray that the eyes of our understanding be opened and that we come to the knowledge of the truth. The TRUTH shall MAKE us FREE IF we CONTINUE IN the TRUTH! Satan, the god of this world, has deceived and blinded the eyes of many. The devil does not want you to know the truth. The Devil does not want us to REMAIN IN the TRUTH. Satan now knows the POWER of the TRUE Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Hosea 4:6,7 says. “My people are destroyed (God’s OWN people are being destroyed. But why?) for lack of knowledge; BECAUSE you have rejected knowledge, I will ALSO reject you, that you shall be NO priest to me: SEEING you have forgotten the law of your God, I will ALSO forget your children. 7. As they were increased, so they SINNED against me: THEREFORE, (Or for THIS REASON of living in sin) will I CHANGE their glory (Which I had planned for them) into shame.”
So then, do not continue to be deceived by the enemy. Do not reject this knowledge of the truth. Jesus died for your SINS to SET you FREE from the BONDAGE of SIN to LIVE RIGHTEOUSLY before Almighty God. Jesus ALSO bore those stripes upon his back for the healing of your body. It is ALWAYS God’s WILL to heal you. Please read the study H-1. It is ALWAYS GOD'S WILL to HEAL YOU! Some of us have been wrongly taught that if we do not receive our healing in the time frame that we think we should be healed, that it must then be because it is not God’s WILL to heal us. They try to reason away their own unbelief by teaching that it is not always God’s WILL to heal. But most of those NEGATIVE Christians ever give Scripture to back up what they are wrongly teaching. And IF Scripture is given by some of those negative Christians to try and prove their view, you can be assured that they have been taken those verses of Scripture out of the context from which they are found. Most of the time they only give a NEGATIVE personal testimony of how so and so believed with all their heart for their healing and they died. But I say to you that ONLY God truly knows each of our hearts. So how do they KNOW for SURE that those who did NOT RECEIVE their healing did not WAVER in their FAITH down in their HEART? So I ask you, what is so wrong with accepting the fact that it can be OUR unbelief in our HEART that is the REASON for our not receiving our healing? I personally have no problem laying the blame on my OWN UNBELIEF, when I fail to RECEIVE a PROMISE of God in His WORD. If you will pay close attention to the gospels giving all the accounts of healing that Jesus did, then you will undoubtedly notice that in almost every case, Jesus responded to those he was ministering healing to with words like.
“YOUR faith has made you whole,” or “Be it done unto you according to YOUR faith.”
The truth of the matter is that whether or not we receive our healing is totally dependent upon OUR faith. God’s WILL is unchanging. It is ALWAYS God’s WILL to heal you.
James 1:16,17 says. “Do not err, my beloved brethren. Every good gift (And HEALING is just one of those good gifts that) is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is NO variableness, neither shadow of turning.”
God’s WILL is constant. God’s WILL does not change from person to person or from this time to another time concerning HEALING. In other words, God does not say, I will heal you this time, but next time who knows? No one could possibly ever have FAITH to believe God for ANYTHING IF this were the case. Let me ask you a few questions. Is it God’s WILL to save ALL of mankind from their sins? What I mean by this is it God’s WILL to save everyone? Or does God pick and choose whom He desires to be saved? Does God create certain people to be predestined to follow after false gods and false teachings to be forever lost and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth? And at the same time, did God create other people to be predestined to be saved? Is God a respecter of persons? Let me explain this a little further. Jesus was accused by the Pharisees of casting out devils by the power of Beelzebub or the prince of devils, and Jesus responded with these words found in Matthew 12:25. Matthew 12:25. “EVERY kingdom (INCLUDING the kingdom OF Almighty God) divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:”
What do the words “divided against itself” mean? Continue reading the next verse. Matthew 12:26. “And if Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself: (And it is EQUALLY true that IF Almighty God casts out what Almighty God has ORDAINED to BE, then His Kingdom is DIVIDED against ITSELF as well) how shall then his kingdom stand?”
You see, Satan is the one who is responsible for oppressing people with sickness and disease. Therefore, IF Jesus was truly casting out these spirits of sickness and disease by the power of the devil, then the kingdom of the devil would be divided and consequently could not stand. For you see, it is Satan, the Devil who OPPRESSES people with sickness and disease. But SINCE Jesus cast out devils BY the power of Almighty God, then the Kingdom of God is NOT divided. But IF sickness was TRULY put on people BY Almighty God and Jesus HEALED people by the POWER of God, then God’s Kingdom would have been DIVIDED. And thus, HOW could God’s Kingdom STAND, IF God casts out the WORKS of God?
However, Matthew 12:27,28 goes on to say. “And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore, they shall be your judges. 28. But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come unto you.” Well, we know without a doubt from Acts 10:38 that Jesus healed people by the power of the SPIRIT of God, and not by the power of Satan, as he was wrongly and falsely accused by the Pharisees. Now with all this in mind, I submit to you this question. Is it not as equally true that the reciprocal of this passage of Scripture is also true? Here is what I mean. If God sends sickness and disease upon people to supposedly teach them something as some Christians have wrongly taught. And then, God turns around to heal them to receive glory unto Himself, then is not the kingdom of God DIVIDED? Remember Jesus said EVERY kingdom divided against itself shall come to desolation. Every kingdom would also include the kingdom of God, which the Bible plainly teaches will be an everlasting kingdom. Therefore, the teaching that God sends sickness and disease upon people to teach them something is NOT from God, it cannot be true. Otherwise, IF it were true, then God could never be accredited with the healing of these people, because then God’s kingdom would be divided, according to the words of Jesus. The children of God need to stay focused. Remember what Jesus said in John 10:10. John 10:10. “The thief (Which is referring to the devil and Satan) comes not but to steal, and to kill, and to destroy; (Is Almighty God a THIEF? NO! Absolutely NOT! The THIEF is Satan, the Devil) I (Speaking of Jesus) have come that they (Speaking of that they that believe) might have life and that they might have it (Life) more abundantly.” Stay focused! Satan is the destroyer. Satan is the oppressor. Satan is the one who comes and whose only purpose is to steal your health, your finances, your peace, your joy, and even your faith. But be of good cheer. Jesus came to give you abundant life. Jesus came for the sole purpose of DESTROYING the works of the devil. Get a hold of this truth and never let it slip from you. Remain focused. God is always FOR us NOT against us. The devil is our enemy, not Almighty God and His Son, Jesus! Some Christians teach that God is in control, as in, God completely controls everything. And since to THEM, God is in control, then everything that happens to us is because God ordained it to happen. Those that WRONGLY teach this sort of thing, maintain that if sickness or disease comes to your door, then it is in God’s master plan that He ordained to BE. Therefore, they wrongly conclude that IF you receive your healing, then it is the will of God. BUT, if you do NOT receive your healing, then it also must be God’s WILL for you to die prematurely. They continue to maintain that no matter what the outcome, healed or not healed, it surely must be God’s WILL. because, to THEM, God is in control and God Himself ORDAINED everything to BE as it IS. So to THEM, they wrongly INTERPRET the Scriptures to mean that EVERY EVIL thing that happens was ORDAINED by God to happen. But that is NOT the SOUND BIBLICAL meaning of Almighty God being SOVEREIGN. Yes, the Bible does teach that God is God and there is no God beside him and he is in control. God is in control, in that, He will not allow us to be tempted above that which we are able to bear. Yes, God is in control, in that, He said in His word that the “wage of sin is death”. And since God said it, or PROPHESIED it, then He is bound by His very own word to be faithful to perform or carry out His word even if it is NOT His WILL or desire. For you see, God takes NO PLEASURE in the death of the wicked. And thus, God does NOT DESIRE to destroy the wicked. But rather, it is God’s WILL to SAVE whosoever BELIEVES. You see, if a person is deceived by the enemy and gives in to sin and he or she does not repent or ask forgiveness of his or her sin and they were to die without confessing his or her sin, then God will have no choice but to honor His word. And thus, God will have oto pronounce eternal damnation upon that person even though it is NOT His WILL or desire for that man or woman to perish. Are you following what I am saying? God cannot manifest salvation in a person, until that person gets in line with what God’s word says and they believe in their HEART to word of God for his or her salvation. Then they must CONFESS the FAITH that is in the HEART unto salvation to ENDURE unto the END. Likewise, God cannot manifest healing in us EVEN THOUGH IT IS HIS WILL and greatest desire to see us healed, until we come in line with what He has said in His word. We must BELIEVE in our HEART that with the stripes of Jesus we are already healed. The price for the healing of our physical body has already been paid for, just as the sacrifice for our salvation has already been made. We need to permanently fix in our minds that we are NOT the sick trying to receive healing, but rather, we are the healed merely resisting the symptoms of sickness and disease that Satan is trying to bind upon us. The Bible says that if we RESIST the devil that he will flee from us. So, do not give in to the symptoms of sickness and disease. Fight the good fight of faith unto the END. Do not cast away your confidence in God and His word, which has great recompense of REWARD. Remain steadfast in your faith to KNOW that God is always faithful to perform His word for he is faithful that promised. Thanks for reading, and may God bless you richly as you continue to seek the TRUTH of the WHOLE word of Almighty God. And to me, the truth concerning who Jesus TRULY is, according to the Bible ITSELF, is the Biblical Unitarian view of Jesus. So, for ALL of the studies on the Biblical Unitarian view of Jesus, please click on the subject heading >>>D-0. THE BIBLICAL UNITARIAN VIEW of JESUS!<<< And for the SUBJECT on the true foundation of the church, please click on the subject heading >>>C-0. THE TRUE FOUNDATION OF THE CHURCH!<<< This way you can just send ONE link to those who you want to share the TRUE sound Biblical FOUNDATIONAL teachings of the church that Jesus and his Apostles taught in the first century church.
Your brother in our Lord Jesus Christ, Brother Mark.
My heartfelt prayer is that all Christians RETURN to the TRUE FOUNDATION of the church that is taught by the very Apostles of Jesus in the first century. So let us all come into the UNITY of the faith and return to what Jesus and his Apostles taught us in SIMPLICITY in the New Testament.
To learn more TRUTH, then please return to
VERSES USED TO TEACH THAT JESUS PREEXISTED!
To me, the best way to know the ONE true God in ONE person is to know who Jesus TRULY is according to the WHOLE word of Almighty God. So please read ALL of the studies under the heading >>>N-0. WHO is JESUS ACCORDING to the BIBLE?<<< and you will see that the Bible itself teaches us that Jesus was CREATED by his God and Father. And if you have any questions related to the correct meaning of certain verses of Scripture on this subject of who Jesus is please read all the studies under the two headings >>>U-0. VERSES used for THE TRINITY!<<< and >>>V-0. VERSES used to TEACH that Jesus PRE-EXISTED!<<< These two headings have ALL of the studies that I have on who Jesus truly is according to what the Bible itself teaches us in simplicity. I compiled these three headings to make it easy for my readers to send just one, two, or three links to those you desire to help understand what the Bible itself teaches concerning who Jesus is in the LIGHT of the WHOLE word of Almighty God.

Thanks for reading and may God bless you richly as you continue to read ALL the studies that I gave links to throughout this study concerning this subject on Sabbath TRUTH. My heartfelt prayer is that all Christians RETURN to the TRUE FOUNDATION of the church that is taught by the very Apostles of Jesus in the first century. So let us all come into the UNITY of the faith and return to what Jesus and his Apostles taught us in SIMPLICITY in the New Testament.
To learn more TRUTH, then please return to
If you have any questions, please feel free to write to me. My contact email is MarkatAMatterOfTruth@Gmail .com. Some Sabbath-keeping Christians CLAIM that the early church kept the Sabbath as the Jews, but I assure you that the early first-century church was accustomed to gathering together BEFORE the light of daybreak on the FIRST day of the week that THEY called the Lord's day. Please read all the studies linked within this study and all the studies linked below. This study was just the TIP of the iceberg of exposing the ERRORS of interpretation made by the Saturday seventh day of the week Sabbath-keeping churches, and the Sunday first day of the week Sabbath-keeping Christians. All of the studies listed under the subject heading >>>Dd-0. What is the TRUE Sabbath?<<< And also read Dd-20. Did The Early Church KEEP the Sabbath day to learn the truth of what the early church believed. Thanks again for reading and may God bless you richly as you continue to seek the truth of the whole word of Almighty God.
Your Brother in our Lord Jesus Christ, Brother Mark.
