The
Three Miracles of Sickness
MP3
We all have probably been sick at one time or another and
several of us will experience a sickness that could result in
death. It occurred to me the other day that sickness is
actually the start point for one of three miracles by Almighty
God. To me, when God intercedes into the sickness of a
firstfruit, whatever action He takes is a miracle. Let us
take a look at these miracles.
When we become sick, there are three possible outcomes, each one
a miracle:
1. God allows us to be healed.
2. God allows us to live with our sickness.
3.God allows us to die.
1. God allows us to be
healed.
Psalm 103:1-5
1 A Psalm of David. Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is
within me, bless his holy name.
2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy
diseases;
4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee
with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth
is renewed like the eagle's.
Psalm 30:2
O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.
Psalm 41:1-3
1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Blessed is he that
considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of
trouble.
2 The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall
be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto
the will of his enemies.
3 The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou
wilt make all his bed in his sickness.
Exodus 15:26
And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the
LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and
wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I
will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought
upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.
Isaiah 53:5
But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for
our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and
with his stripes we are healed.
Jeremiah 17:14
Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be
saved: for thou art my praise.
James 5:15
And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall
raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be
forgiven him.
2. He allows us to live with
the sickness:
2 Corinthians 12:7-11
7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the
abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in
the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be
exalted above measure.
8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might
depart from me.
9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my
strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will
I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may
rest upon me.
10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in
necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake:
for when I am weak, then am I strong.
11 I am become a fool in glorying; ye have compelled me: for I
ought to have been commended of you: for in nothing am I behind
the very chiefest apostles, though I be nothing.
1 Corinthians 10:13
There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man:
but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above
that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way
to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
3. He allows us to die this
physical death:
Hebrews 9:27
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but
after this the judgment:
James 4:14
For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that
appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
Psalm 116:15
Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.
All three miracles are authored by God and all His ways are
perfect. |
