As we continue our study in prayer, I want to emphasize over and over for you the importance of BELIEVING THE BIBLE over believing what any other person has to say. I don’t care if your doctor tells you that you only have a few weeks left to live.  You should just ask him, “So there is nothing else you can do?”

When he says no, then state a Spiritual FACT – “Then I trust God to do what HE says He will do…”  Then start quoting some healing scriptures… Praise God!

“Well, brother bob, that actually seems a little silly, don’t you think? I mean, after all, that doctor is trained in this field. He knows when there is nothing else that can be done… I’d look like a plum fool to say I was believing God for my healing when the best doctors and medical sciences says I’m going to die…”

It is belief like that which probably got you into this predicament in the first place. Maybe, just MAYBE, if  you would’ve gone to God and His Word at the first symptoms – you wouldn’t be in this mess right now.  BUT NOOOO – you sought the best advice from MEN rather than God.

Now, don’t get me wrong. I love doctors and modern medical technology. If it were not for doctors and other medical staff – so many people would’ve died before they even had a chance to get born again. Amen.

But, let’s look at from a natural verses spiritual perspective for just a moment.

Who came up with all the latest ideas and concepts in modern medical breakthroughs? I guess a better question would be, who GAVE these people the IDEAS of the concepts and the WAY they would work on the human body?  That would be GOD, right?

Who created these bodies in the first place? God…

Who contaminated these bodies so they would start to die in the first place?  Satan…

Who established death in the body and death in the earth?  Satan…

Who overcame death in the body and death in the earth?  JESUS…

Who triumphed over Satan in all things?  JESUS…

Who took all the authority Satan had in this earth?  JESUS…

Who gave US that authority over Satan?  JESUS…

In whose name can we pray and watch every demon flee?  JESUS…

In whose name can we pray and believe sickness must flee? JESUS…

Do you start to see a pattern here? Amen!

There are two kinds of truth at work here.  Natural truth, based up on natural laws and consists of things we can see, touch, hear, taste and smell. Things that pertain to living in this fallen world.

Then, there is God’s Spiritual Truth – which supersedes natural truth. Supersedes natural laws. Supersedes what your five senses perceive and operates on a Godly plain that only God’s children can operate in.  His Truth is contained in His Word. “Thy Word is Truth.” Amen.

So, when you are faced with bad news like that…go ahead, ask the doctor, “So there is nothing else you or anyone else can do?”  When they say NO – Praise God!

Tell them, “So, I’ve been praying for years that when I die, I will get to see Jesus. You’re telling me that day is approaching! That’s Good News!  And, you know what is even better, Doc?  I’m still believing God for my healing – so when it happens NOW – it ain’t because of YOU – ALL PRAISE will be His. Bless God! This is exciting!  And, what’s the worst that can happen, Doc? I die like you said and immediately step into Glory with Jesus and I’ll be healed forever! Praise God!

Now, I’m telling you right here, you will not be able to say things like that unless you truly believe them. Because when you start praising God like that, the devil doesn’t like it. He will probably move immediately to shut you down by having the doctor start to intercede, “Well, now…I wouldn’t get all worked up like that. You need to save your strength and start to get your affairs in order….”

 I know there are some of you looking at me or listening to me that think I’m a nut for even talking like that. “Well, obviously he has never faced anything like this in his life before. It’s not that easy…”

When you talk negative about the things of God, when you disregard The Word of Faith, when you reject that God is in charge of all things, when you try to cancel out the Power of Jesus in ANY situation – you are operating in natural truth – you are NOT operating in Spiritual Truth nor are you operating according to the Word of God.

I’m all out of time for today. But we will continue our discussions of “walking by Faith and not by sight.” We will continue our studies in believing God and not man. We will continue to build up your faith by showing how the things of this world are not the things of God. We will continue to build up your faith by showing that ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE WITH GOD and ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE TO HIM THAT BELIEVES!  

Amen!

Do you believe?  If you answered YES – then SHOUT AMEN SOMEBODY! Glory to God!

I want to pray for someone who is in need of healing right now…maybe the Lord has been able to put this teaching today in front of them.  So let’s pray…

Until next time, this is Pastor Bob Thibodeau reminding you from 1 Thessalonians 5:17 in the Living Bible to “Always Keep on Praying!”  Be blessed in all that you do!
