Spiritual Safety is far more Important than Physical Healing

When God began to open my eyes because I asked Him to reveal all that I was taught that wasn't true, He began showing me things that most Christians believe and preach that were opposite of what Christ taught. Now that I see them I can never unsee them again.

Isaiah 42:7

"To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house".

I am convinced these verses are speaking not only of physical experiences but are also pictures of Spiritual truths. Everything God tells us has Spiritual implications.

Christ said that born again believers would do greater things than He did. What could be greater than physically healing sick people, raising the dead and healing a withered hand? The greater thing that we will do is the spreading of the Gospel of Christ.

If we are informed with physical problems it does not compare to the wonder of passing from this world into heaven where we will not only be permanently healed but will also get new bodies that will never be sick again.

There is no greater blessing than trusting in Christ and realizing our citizenship is in heaven, where we will go when we leave behind this world full of its evils.

When we are born again we no longer look to this world, to being healed in our bodies and living a good life here, our focus is on Christ. He goes through with us in everything and we remain faithful to Him no matter the trials we must endure.

James 1:12

"Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him."

1 Peter 5:10

"And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you."

Romans 12:12

"Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. "

James 1:2-8

"Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind."
