Cancer. Heart disease. Multiple sclerosis. When we think of killer diseases, those are the names that come to mind. But the truth is, there is a far more deadly killer on the loose in the Church today. It has destroyed more lives than any of us can imagine. It is called tradition. Traditions rob believers of their healing. They steal the power from the promises of God. Here are three you should beware of:
1. Tradition that says it is not always God’s will to heal you. The truth … it IS God’s will to heal you! It says so in His Word. If you do not believe that it is, then you cannot pray in faith believing that you will receive your healing. You are like the farmer who sits on his porch and says, “I believe in crops, but I am not going to plant any seed this year. I will just believe, and if it is God’s will, my crop will come up”. That farmer will never see his crop. Faith is the seed of healing, if you do not plant it, it will not grow. A prayer that includes the words “if it be thy will,” will not produce a healing harvest. You must know without a doubt that healing is your portion and that it is ALWAYS God’s will for you.
2. Another tradition we hear is that healing has passed away. That there are no miracles today. But the Word of God proves that is not true. In Exodus 15:26, God says, “…for I am the Lord Who heals you.”. He also tells us in Malachi 3:6 that “…For I am the Lord, I do not change”. He has never changed since the beginning of time. For healing to pass away, God would have to pass away, and He is not about to do that!
3. The third dangerous tradition is this one: “God gets glory from Christians being sick.” This tradition totally violates the Word of God. The Bible says that people gave glory to God when they saw the lame walk and the blind see. God receives glory from your healing, not your pain!
“So, for the sake of your tradition (the rules handed down by your forefathers), you have set aside the Word of God [depriving it of force and authority and making it of no effect].” Matthew 15:6 (AMPC)
“Father, I come to You in the Name of Jesus. I repent for allowing any tradition place me in bondage. Today I rebuke those traditions and accept Your truth. Your truth that declares that I am healed and that I am free. Thank you for this amazing blessing that I am able to receive. Amen.”
The world is looking for a way out of sickness and disease, not a way into it. Let us break down those traditions and deliver a hurting world from the most dangerous killer of all!
God Richest Love and Blessings to all of our LFM family!
