America is Sick: Spiritual Sickness Comes Before Physical Sickness

Disease: Gout

“The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”
–John 10:10

AMERICANS CANNOT WAIT TO GET MORE, MORE, MORE! OF WHAT AILS THEM

Spiritual sickness comes before physical sickness.

For the past several years, there has been much talk of how the USA is now the sickliest of all industrialized countries–by far.

With all of America’s wealth, spending on healthcare and obsessions with all things natural, organic and healthy, it is largely a land of the dying.

Yes, America is a sick country: both spiritually and physically.

And Americans can’t wait to get more of what makes them sick.

  • They line up for physically unhealthy food and activities.
  • In a mad dash for cash, they work at unhealthy places
  • They trust pharmaceuticals to cure them when there is much evidence pharmaceuticals make them sick. At one time, it was taught that medicines are poison. NOW, they are salvation: the cure.

But more importantly, Americans are surrounded by sin and rebellion. Nowhere is this more prevalent than in the apostate churches.

In the end times, going to a church to fix sin is like going to a gas station to put out a fire.

The past few months have ushered in news that middle-aged whites are dying in numbers which far outstrip any other group in any other country in the world.

Spiritual sickness comes before physical sickness.

The dragon (Satan) and the man of sin KNOW this.

A temporary relief from sickness will be one of the “miracles” the man of sin will demonstrate.

Even now, the apostate churches prepare the way for both the dragon and the man of sin.

The apostate churches would have the reader believe that sickness comes exclusively from the devil and demons. AND make no mistake: Satan loves nothing better than to “steal, kill and destroy.”

But many churches give unbiblical prescriptions, twisting Scripture to include such apostate snake oil as “rebuking the devil” and “binding the devil.”

HOWEVER, what the churches neglect to tell the pew-sitters: before Satan can touch a hair of a righteous man, he has to have permission from God Himself.

An unrighteous man?

There’s nothing in the Bible to offer the unrighteous (and this includes practically all of the pew-sitters in the apostate churches) much hope from sickness and disease. IN FACT, to those who work with familiar spirits, disease and other disasters are PROMISED.

Something else the churches do not preach: repeatedly throughout the Bible, God declares that HE controls pestilence (disease) and it is one of his judgments.

“For thus saith the Lord GOD; How much more when I send my four sore judgments upon Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the noisome beast, and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast?”
–Ezekiel 14:21

When a land is in rebellion against God, God does smite that land with His judgments.

When the Israelites were about to enter into the land of Canaan, God warned them of a series of curses (if they disobeyed His commandments). They also were promised a series of blessings (if they obeyed God’s Word).

Many of the curses had to do with disease, sickness and pestilence. But before these curses would come upon the people, the people first had to fall into spiritual sickness and rebellion, disobeying God.

“But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee:

The LORD shall make the pestilence cleave unto thee, until he have consumed thee from off the land, whither thou goest to possess it. The LORD shall smite thee with a consumption, and with a fever, and with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning, and with the sword, and with blasting, and with mildew; and they shall pursue thee until thou perish.

The LORD will smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the emerods, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed. The LORD shall smite thee with madness, and blindness, and astonishment of heart: And thou shalt grope at noonday, as the blind gropeth in darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways: and thou shalt be only oppressed and spoiled evermore, and no man shall save thee. The LORD shall smite thee in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore botch that cannot be healed, from the sole of thy foot unto the top of thy head.

Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee”
–Deuteronomy 28:15,21-22, 27-29,35,45

Spiritual sickness comes before physical sickness.

The earth–and especially America–is full of sickness, both spiritual and physical.

Is the reader tired of the same old-same old?

Is the reader ready for a change?

Jesus Christ is the answer.

Time is Running Out: Today is the Day of Salvation

Tender Mercies of the Lord: Will Not Always Be Available

“But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.”
John 20:31

THE GOSPEL

“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
1 Corinthians 15:1-8

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
