As shared in the previous post, God has given every believer divine protection and health (Psalm 91). We are meant to fulfill our assignment on earth without sickness.
I shared that I was under attack by the enemy. That was my experience. But in truth’s reality, we can be FREE from attack directly from the enemy —— this includes sickness, accident leading to injury, premature death, etc.
Some people may say, “But so-and-so was godly, yet he died of an accident; so-and-so was full of faith, yet he died of sickness.” And the list goes on.
My job is not to question why the unexpected happened to them. Neither am I supposed to find out the cause. My focus is on what the Word says because the Word is Truth. My experience must line up with the Truth.
At the end of the day, these so-and-so are not our example. Jesus is our ultimate Example. Even if I don’t experience divine health at the end of my life’s journey, I will not let my experience alter the Truth. It just means that I still have to grow.
Jesus walked under divine protection throughout His life on earth. No one could lay a hand on Him. Even the constant whipping couldn’t kill Him. Neither did the nails kill Him. He gave up His own life (Luke 23:46; John 10:18).
Apostle Paul, too, chose when he wanted to go, after the fulfillment of his assignment and race (Phil 1:21-25; 2 Tim 4:6-7).
Divine Protection & Health are our inheritance as believers.
...who are kept by the power of God through FAITH for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. - 1 Peter 1:5 (emphasis added)
We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one DOES NOT touch him. - 1 John 5:18 (emphasis added)
Above all, taking the shield of FAITH with which you will be able to quench ALL the fiery darts of the wicked one. - Eph 6:16 (emphasis added)
If we can quench ALL the fiery darts of the enemy, it means that there is a place where we can walk into, such that the enemy could not touch us.
The key to Divine Protection & Health is FAITH. This means that we can place our full trust in the Good Father who desires to protect us and watch over us 24/7.
If I’m under an attack (NOT referring to persecution and suffering for the Gospel’s sake), it means that the fiery dart managed to hit me. In other words, I have room to grow by His grace so that NO fiery dart can reach me.
Disclaimer: We should not be discouraged if we ever get hit. Instead, we should turn our attention to behold Him MORE. It’s a privilege to seek Him deeper in intimacy.
The Last Adam had to be hung on the Cross (Deut 21:23; Gal 3:13) in order to become sin and be cursed. God didn’t curse His Son. Neither did He punish or judge His Son. God judged SIN (Rom 8:3) and destroyed that which cursed us when Jesus became sin on the Cross. We have been redeemed back to the original image. 1 Peter 1:3 says that we have been ’begotten AGAIN’ —— we were God’s sons to begin with, and now we have been restored back to sonship.
The original image was never supposed to be sick or die prematurely. The original image has divine protection and health! Jesus! #identity #divineprotection #divinehealth
