When Your Back Is against The Wall. Part [8] 11/26/2025 (Morning thought)

Matthew 12:15 But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all; 16 And charged them that they should not make him known.

We are going to start from scratch, and we’ll let the Bible explain itself. Question [1] Can satan cause and bring disease upon people? We’re not going to deal with the issue of permission at this time, we just want to know whether or not he has the power to bring disease. Job 2:7 So went Satan forth from the presence of the Lord, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown.

Job 2:12 And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they lifted up their voice, and wept; and they rent everyone his mantle, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward heaven. 13 So they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spoke a word unto him: for they saw that his grief was very great.

Luke 13: 11 And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself. 12 And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity. 13 And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.

Luke 13:16 And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?

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

When Your Back Is against The Wall. Part [7] 11/26/2025 (Evening thought)

Deuteronomy 7:15 And the Lord will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee; but will lay them upon all them that hate thee.

Chris and Donna Vetter have made the agonizing decision to drop their health insurance, saying they simply cannot afford it. Donna has atrial fibrillation and their premium is scheduled to go from $401.00 per month to $1975.00. Could a supernatural healer be their best or only alternative, especially since it will be for free?

[The Great Controversy pp 624] In different parts of the earth, Satan will manifest himself among men as a majestic being of dazzling brightness, resembling the description of the Son of God given by John in the Revelation. In gentle, compassionate tones he presents some of the same gracious, heavenly truths which the Savior uttered; he heals the diseases of the people, and then, in his assumed character of Christ, he claims to have changed the Sabbath to Sunday, and commands all to hallow the day which he has blessed.

In the times of crisis and desperation, worship might seem to be a small trade off in exchange for healing, especially if your back is against the wall, you have nowhere else to turn, you cannot afford the sky high premiums and if, as far as you know there’s no other alternative. Therefore, before we get into the Bible study, let us ask and answer some fundamental questions, which have a direct bearing on the subject matter, so that we may know what our options are at such a time as this.

Mark 3:14 And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach, 15 And to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils.

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