2 Chronicles 16:12-13 NLT “In the thirty-ninth year of his reign, Asa developed a serious foot disease. Yet even with the severity of his disease, he did not seek the LORD’s help but turned only to his physicians. [13] So he died in the forty-first year of his reign.”

Don’t you get the feeling that King Asa should have consulted the Lord instead of only his physicians?🤔 His illness got worse and two years later he died. Are folks (especially believers) making the same mistake during this pandemic? God is more than capable of healing any disease. Yet many are running to physicians instead of God like Asa. Sadly, many of these are believers; folks who say they believe in God’s healing power. Why are those who claim to believe in God rushing to man to be healed instead of turning to the Lord? They fear the government who threatens to take their stuff instead of fearing God. They fear losing their jobs, their homes, cars, their tech toys, etcetera if they refuse to take the jab.💉🧬 But they don’t think about the possibility of losing their souls?🤔
“I AM THE LORD WHO HEALS YOU.”
Exodus 15:26 AMP ‘ “If you will diligently listen and pay attention to the voice of the Lord your God, and do what is right in His sight, and listen to His commandments, and keep [foremost in your thoughts and actively obey] all His precepts and statutes, then I will not put on you any of the diseases which I have put on the Egyptians; for I AM THE LORD WHO HEALS YOU.” ‘
Psalm 91:1-16 KJV “He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. [2] I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. [3] Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. [4] He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. [5] Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; [6] Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. [7] A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. [8] Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. [9] Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; [10] There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. [11] For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. [12] They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. [13] Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. [14] Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. [15] He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. [16] With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.”
This is God’s promise to ALL who have set their affections on Him!😄 Do you believe Him? I’ll confess when I first read Psalm 91 years ago I said, “WOW!” I’ll confess it sounded too good to be true; God saving me from diseases and all. I wavered in faith regarding God’s promise. I feel bad to this day for doing so😓 especially after God has saved me not only from sickness but even death. Recently I got sicker than I’d ever been in my entire life! I had stuff going on that made me feel like I’m about to die this time. This is it. People told me to go to physicians etcetera because the kind of pain I was suffering doesn’t go away on it’s own. And normally it doesn’t. Instead I trusted in the Lord, not man, and the Lord healed me.😊 I begged God in prayer to help me and He did!😂 Whatever anyone believes regarding this is their business, I know that only God truly heals and I choose to trust in God over physicians when it comes to my health. The Lord would never prescribe me a bunch of pills and medication that has so many side effects (makes me sicker). I know the above passages about the Lord’s power to heal are true. He is more than able to keep those who love Him safe from and through ANY diseases.😊
WHOM WILL YOU SERVE?
If you’ve studied the Bible for just a little while you’ve learned that who you obey is who you serve. Who you choose to obey is your master. Whom will we serve? The Lord, the God of the Bible, or the gods of Egypt and Greece?🤔 Did you know that modern medicine has it’s roots in ancient Egypt? That’s right. Back then the practicers of medicine and administering of drugs weren’t called doctors, they were called magicians. Did you know that the serpent on the pole logo associated with all modern day medicine and health is a symbol of the Greek god Asclepius? It’s called, “The Rod Of Asclepius.” This god is known as the god of medicine and healing. You can find this snake on the pole logo everywhere. It is used by the World Health Organization, hospitals, and anything dealing with medication and health. But this serpents on a pole actually dates back to ancient Egypt. They had it too. And yes, it was the god of health and healing. In Almighty God’s eyes this is pagan idolatry; the worship of demons. He alone is, “THE LORD WHO HEALS YOU.” And God will not share His glory with any other gods or idols. How many today are being tricked into putting their trust in false gods and man by putting their faith in modern medicine over Almighty God?🤔
WHAT IS PHARMAKEIA?
In the Bible the Greek word (pharmakeia) pops up 3 times in the New Testament. The english word for pharmakeia is, “Pharmacy,” like a pharmacy, a drug store. Hmmmmmm, that’s interesting.🤔 What’s even more interesting is the 3 places in the New Testament where this Greek word is found the english words, “Witchcraft, Sorcery, Magic Arts, etcetera” appear.😳 Check any Greek Lexicon for the definition of Pharmakeia and you will find definitions like these:
1.the use or the administering of drugs
2.poisoning
3.spells
4.sorcery, magical arts, often found in connection with idolatry and fostered by it
5.metaph. the deceptions and seductions of idolatry
WOW!😳 Here are the 3 places in the New Testament where this Greek word, “Pharmakeia,” is found: Galatians 5:20, Revelation 9:21, and Revelation 18:23. In Revelation 18:23 it reads:
Revelation 18:23 KJV “And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for BY THY SORCERIES WERE ALL THE NATIONS DECEIVED.”
If you read Revelation chapter 18 you will find that God describes an end times powerful ruling entity called Babylon The Great. God says of Babylon, ‘BY THY SORCERIES ALL THE NATIONS WERE DECEIVED!’😳 Remember what the Greek word for sorcery (pharmakeia/pharmacy) means:
1.the use or the administering of drugs
2.poisoning
3.spells
4.sorcery, magical arts, often found in connection with idolatry and fostered by it
5.metaph. the deceptions and seductions of idolatry
I ask, do you see any ruling entity today deceiving the whole world by these means?🤔 Has the whole world been administered drugs? Poison? Has the whole world been put under a spell? Are magical arts and idolatry being forced on all the nations? Has the whole world been deceived? Yes. Pharmakeia (witchcraft) is being practiced on all the nations indeed! Don’t be a partaker in this. Trust only in God who truly heals you.
Revelation 18:1-5 NLT “After all this I saw another angel come down from heaven with great authority, and the earth grew bright with his splendor. [2] He gave a mighty shout: “Babylon is fallen-that great city is fallen! She has become a home for demons. She is a hideout for every foul spirit, a hideout for every foul vulture and every foul and dreadful animal. [3] For all the nations have fallen because of the wine of her passionate immorality. The kings of the world have committed adultery with her. Because of her desires for extravagant luxury, the merchants of the world have grown rich.” [4] Then I heard another voice calling from heaven, “Come away from her, my people. DO NOT TAKE PART IN HER SINS, or you will be punished with her. [5] For her sins are piled as high as heaven, and God remembers her evil deeds.”
