When Your Back Is against The Wall. Part [11] 11/28/2025 (Evening thought)

Luke 4: 40 Now when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto him; and He laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them.

There is a lot of noise concerning the issue of health and there are many soothsayers who might present various ways and alternative means by which folks can maintain good health and longevity. However, if it is our desire to be in line with God’s will for us on this issue, we will have to include obedience to His instructions as being indispensable to success. In every single aspect of the Christian’s life, faith and obedience are foundational requirements for us to partake of His promises.

To put it plainly, if we were to desire health, the information God has given will have to be applied in the most practical sense. It’s the only way that He could prepare us for prime time, when those systems, ways and means we have become accustomed to, will no longer be available to persons who refuse to bow. No one knows how soon this might materialize, but the way things are going now we may be looking at sooner rather than later.

Therefore, let us try to understand the conditions of God’s promises on health, and His preferred manner of working in the here and now, so that we could be clear in our minds as to what needs to be done. You will observe that in many of the cases where Jesus healed the people en-masse, He did not ask them anything about any contributing factors, He just healed them all in most cases.

Luke 6:17 And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, which came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases; 18 And they that were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!

When Your Back Is against The Wall. Part [10] 11/27/2025 (Morning thought)

Acts 8: 18 And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money, 19 Saying, give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.

Acts 8:20 But Peter said unto him, thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money. 21 Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God. 22 Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee. 23 For I perceive that you’re in the gall of bitterness and in the bond of iniquity.

[The Great Controversy pp 553] The apostle John, describing the miracle-working power that will be manifested in the last days, declares: “He does great wonders, so that he makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, and deceives them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do.” No mere impostures are here foretold.

Men are deceived by the miracles which Satan’s agents have power to do, not which they pretend to do…. [The Great Controversy pp 624] He heals the diseases of the people. This is the strong, almost overmastering delusion. Like the Samaritans who were deceived by Simon Magus, the multitudes, from the least to the greatest, give heed to these sorceries, saying, this is “the great power of God.”

Revelation 16:14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
