Illness

violet · 10-14-2007, 06:45 AM

I know that God has answered many of my prayers regarding my health. Is it possible that at the same time, satan can still use that illness against you?

Hi, Violet, it's good to (virtually) see you,

I haven't been around for a while I hope you are doing ok. Praise God for healing you, that's just awesome!!!

Being a new Christian I am still learning, and I'm sure you and a lot of others here know waay more than I do!, but I'll try

I may not have the right words in this, so please excuse me if I am wrong, but here is what I think...Satan can "try" (and very,very likely will) to use the illness against you especially when things are going so well, which is when he likes to strike even harder, and he will give it ALL he has got. The key word here is try. The low down devil will try, but that doesn't mean he will suceed (sp?) just pray,pray pray, thanking the Lord in advance and having faith (Like I know you alread will) that your health will remain good and "know" that the devil will not win this battle, that God is on your side, and your not about to be fearful of him. This may sound crazy but tell the devil these things. I tell him off all the time, I love terrorizing Satan.

I hope this has helped, like I said, I'm so new at this, also I am a little tired so forgive me if I rambled/repeated myself.

God Bless you

TJ

TJ, Bless your heart~
Yes, God has led me to find my cure but I still suffer symptoms and I wonder if it is just me that does not let myself get better.
I have many fears in my life I am afraid to face and keep myself down, you know?
Thank you very much for your loving response.
I need to take more responsibility in standing up to satan!
Love, Violet~

Jas 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

While satan ceratinly plans all for our bad God turns all for our good- mediate on the lyrics below:

Sometimes He Calms the Storm
All who sail the sea of faith
Find out before too long
How quickly blue skies can grow dark
And gentle winds grow strong
Suddenly fear is like white water
Pounding on the soul
Still we sail on knowing
That our Lord is in control

Sometimes He calms the storm
With a whispered peace be still
He can settle any sea
But it doesn't mean He will
Sometimes He holds us close
And lets the wind and waves go wild
Sometimes He calms the storm
And other times He calms His child

He has a reason for each trial
That we pass through in life
And though we're shaken
We cannot be pulled apart from Christ
No matter how the driving rain beats down
On those who hold to faith
A heart of trust will always
Be a quiet peaceful place

My dear Violet,

We are all human and we all have doubts and fears at some time in our lives but we also know that fear does not come from the Lord as I have proved in my life. For you know that
God has not given us a spirit of fear but a sound mind and

Quote:

Psalm 91:5
You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day,

I know that He will complete the work He has done in your life and trials will come but rest in Him and take the time to just bask in His presence and I know He will bring you the rest of the way so that you can be a testimony of His good ness and grace. Continue to praise Him for what He has done and victory is yours dear sister. Claim it and proclaim it.

I love you Violet ,and God loves you even more. Blessings to you and your family.
