RIDICULOUS!
Do they happen? Yes!

This once again happed to me very recently. A woman told Duane and me about some relative who had a report of cancer: that’s a bad report!

BUT: what is worse is someone believing it! How many Christians do you know who fully embrace the gospel of Bad News? Many for me. Beloved, be aware as I am because the Bible clearly states the truth of salvation!

Salvation is not just being forgiven of your sins (as I have taught many times); it also includes a right to divine health, healing when necessary, (you who believe in Jesus as your only Lord and Savior were healed, are healed) and a prosperous life!

Selah and amen!

It was so horrible! As I stood listening to her, watching her body language, knowing she was accepting this bad report; I determined (yet again) to correct and rebuke unbelief. Giving her the truth of God’s Word, once again, this ‘bad report’ was shot down!

 

ALWAYS BELIEVE GOD AND CLAIM HIS WORD AS TRUTH because:

 

And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.’
Hebrews 11:6

 

I may next time say somethings such as:

• “You’re telling her the good news should have changed her mind!”
• “I didn’t come to church to hear a bad report from you!”
• Or simply: Hebrews 11:6
  And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

OR I CAN CITE:

 

Psalm 103:1-5
Praise the Lord, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits—who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

 

Isaiah 53:4-5
Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.

 

Matthew 8:16-17
When evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to him, and he drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick. This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah: “He took up our infirmities and bore our diseases.”

 

Hebrews 3:14
We have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original conviction firmly to the very end.

 

Hebrews 11:6
And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

 

1 Peter 2:24
“He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.”

 

BELOVED, be angry at lies! Just because someone goes to church with you – never take her word over The Word!

Selah!

 

1 Thessalonians 2:13
And we also thank God continually because, when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but as it actually is, the word of God, which is at work in you who believe.

 

2 Peter 1:20-21
Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation of things. For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

 

2 Timothy 3:16-17
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

 

^{BE NOBLE LIKE THE BEREAN JEWS AND ME!}

 

Acts 17:11
Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.
