In yesterday’s quoted paraphrase, it would seem that God gave a sickness to Paul. We usually refer to Paul as one of the greatest men that ever lived. Can you imagine a God of love that would choose a man for such a task as the great Apostle Paul and try to show His Divine love by making him sick? That doesn’t compute with me. IF God made Paul sick, then Paul was the only man in Scripture that God ever did it to. IF God made him sick, He went against His own teaching concerning healing and divine health for the believers, for instance in 3rd John 2 “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul propereth.” IF He had made Paul sick, (indicating that it must be His will to make His children sick.) then Jesus must have MISSED THE WILL OF GOD by going about healing. Think about it, you may not have an understanding about the “why am I so sick;” but if you will get settled in your mind once and for all, that God is Love and He DOES NOT WANT HIS CHILDREN TO SUFFER; then you can begin to gain knowledge on how to rise above the tests and trials of life. Think about something if you are a parent would you on purpose put cancer on your child to “teach them something?” God is a loving Father…He is NOT THE CAUSE NOR THE AUTHOR OF SICKNESS!

Remember, that seven days without prayer makes ONE WEAK…that is why our intercessors are STRONG IN THE LORD!
