Job, Sin and Sickness

Satan afflicted Job. He only had the general right because of sin coming
in through Adam and Eve. There was NO other reason Satan could come
before the throne to ask to tempt Job to sin. He really thought Job was a
sinner and would prove his true nature. Read Job chapters 1 and 2
please.

Do not miss one of the MAIN points of the book. Job's friends
contended that no man could be made righteous before God by any means.
Job contended he was righteous by grace through faith in His redeemer
Christ which Job states.

Satan is the god of this world and it was Satan who afflicted Job, not
God. Satan can do NOTHING to a believer without God's say so. God in His
GREAT mercy even stays the hand of Satan on behalf of the unsaved. In
this case it was God exercising His determinative control. Job called on
God for deliverance and healing and did not run off to the arm of the
flesh. By trusting God ALONE he defeated Satan's assertion, defeated
Satan as the source of sin and sickness, and did not sin against God.
Job was declared right by God in his contention that a man can be
righteous by grace through faith in Job 42:7, was given more authority
and power with God 42:8, healed, and MORE than restored.

Job was rebuked by God in Job 38 and 39 for not rejoicing in his trial
see James 1:2-4, not behaving as James 1:19-12 says to in trials, and
not recognizing the TOTAL and COMPLETE sovereignty of God to do what He
wishes with His people for His glory and their good.

Please tell me why it is that if God gives His children a loathsome
affliction to make them better, Christians run off to the arm of the
flesh calling it 'faith' to seek 'healing' and be rid of it spending
thousands and then not be rid of it but drugged to live with it.
Really!! The Bible no where teaches dualism i.e. trusting God and the
arm of the flesh for any promise God has made to His people. In fact the
very opposite. No one in the NT EVER went to the medical system for a
physical issue, sought their advice, or referred anyone to them; not
Jesus (use and referrals), not Paul, not Epaphroditus, not Trophimus,
not Luke and all had occasion. Those that sought to the physicians in
the OT did not end well.

All the medical system today does is do enough to keep sinners
comfortable in their sin which is the ROOT of their problem. It keeps
Christians under the LIE that God gives them that system and keeps them
in the same sin, UNBELIEF.

The devil comes before the throne and says, if you will allow me to give
them this or that physical issue they will PROVE they have no trust in
you ALONE to do as your word promises, AND will not avail themselves of
your clear method of healing set in the church, James 5:14-15. And guess
what?

God can and does use physical issues through Satan to discipline His
children when all else fails then heals when they repent. Also they can
be used as a teaching/training tool by the Holy Spirit to train a
disciple in faith for healing. He started with me allowing and then
healing injuries, aches and pains and even severe burns which were
healed instantly or very quickly. As we saw Him faithful we became
faithful to trust Jesus alone to heal us of EVERYTHING and have now for
35 years. A major aspect of approved character is Bible faith, Hebrews
11:6, that trusts God alone to do as He promises to do within the
meaning of SAVE.

MOST will not even consider submitting to any training in this. It is
inconvenient, requires some courage, and most of all humbling oneself to
do what Romans 12:1 says. Maintaining the right to oneself is the
essence of all sin i.e. pride, stubbornness, and willful ignorance.
Christians believe they can turn their blood bought bodies over to man's
carnal medical system, #3 in cause of death, to be stripped naked,
drugged, and cut up. Please explain where in the Bible it even implies
this is God's plan for His bride.
