« Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, “See, you have been made well. Sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon you” »
Read Psalm 107:17-20 NKJV
17 Fools, because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, were afflicted.
18 Their soul abhorred all manner of food, and they drew near to the gates of death.
19 Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble, and He saved them out of their distresses.
20 He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.
Sin brings affliction upon people, but healing will come when they repent and turn to God.
The Bible tells us in Psalm 119:67 ISV
« Before I was humbled, I wandered away, but now I observe your words »
Whenever a sick person who had been a sinner before falling sick came to Jesus in the Bible, He would forgive the person of his or her sin first and foremost, before getting rid of the sickness.
The sin has to go before the healing can come.
If you have sinned against God, you must go before Him and ask for mercy, so that He can restore you to Himself and to good health.
God will send you a word today that will deliver you from destruction, in the mighty name of Jesus.
Confess your sins to Him and make up your mind that you will no longer live a life of sin.
It is a dangerous thing to continue in sin, especially after God has delivered you from one form of demonic oppression or another. In Luke 11:24-26NLT, Jesus tells us what will happen when a man has been healed but still continues in his sin
24 “When an evil spirit leaves a person, it goes into the desert, searching for rest. But when it finds none, it says, ‘I will return to the person I came from.’
25 So it returns and finds that its former home is all swept and in order.
26 Then the spirit finds seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they all enter the person and live there. And so that person is worse off than before.”
If death suddenly catches up with a sinner, he or she will go to hell.
Turn to God and repent of your sins.
Start to live a life of holiness, and God will send you a word that will restore your soul.
Anyone who isn’t God’s friend is already walking on the path of destruction.
According to Psalm 9:17, such a fellow is set on his or her way to hell already. You will reign with Christ at the end of days, in the mighty name of Jesus.
Application – Repent of all your sins and forsake them so you can enjoy a time of refreshing in the Lord
