  2. Countless believers possess sin, sickness and suffering in their lives and it is simply because they are actually unbelievers who believe in the devil’s gospel and they do not believe the good news gospel of Jesus Christ.

    Realize that just because someone claims to believe in Jesus Christ does not mean that they are a Christian nor does it even make them a believer since even demons believe. Scripture relates how Jesus openly rebuked and criticized the Pharisees and the Sadducees and yet most fail to realize that these were supposedly faithful believers. They probably even possessed more knowledge of scripture then most of today’s believers. Plus if you truly know scripture then you should know that the majority of believers are actually children of the devil who have fallen for the devils lies and this is why very few of us will be saved.

    “For it is time for judgment to begin at the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God? And “If the righteous is scarcely saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?”
    ‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭4:17-18‬ ‭ESV‬‬

    The spiritual eyes of many believers are just as blinded as the Pharisees since when they read the gospel they believe that it is relating that they will always have sin and sickness in their life and that their god works through doctors and their remedies. They believe that their god will provide for their financial needs when they labor at some job for an income. They believe that as they age and they grow older that it is natural for them to become heavier and weaker and they believe that they will probably die from some type of sickness or tragedy. They then foolishly believe that once they die they will then be blessed for all eternity and that could not be any further from the truth.

    The good news gospel of Jesus Christ relates no such things and this is why these people are destined for an eternity of suffering and torment. These people prove that they are simply unbelievers since they are twisting scripture in order to justify the sin and the sicknesses that they possess in their lives. Their blinded eyes are only reading the devil’s version of the gospel.

    “For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.”
    ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭23:7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

    When a child of God reads the gospel of Jesus Christ they are overjoyed since they understand how it relates that a believer can overcome their sin and their sicknesses so they will never need to use a doctor or take some type of pill. Their eyes read how they you will certainly age but they will never lose their strength or become sick since they possess the Spirit of Christ who has overcome the world. Their good news gospel relates how they do not need to labor at some job since God will provide for all of their financial needs and they will live a long and healthy life since no tragedy will ever cut their life short. They finally read how they will have an expected end so that when they die they will simply stop breathing and they will then begin their new eternal life in their new incorruptible body.

    This is the big difference between a believer who is a Christian and a believer who is deceived. A deceived believer thinks that they will always sin and they will always have sickness in their life. A Christian knows they can never sin nor can they ever get sick since they live their life exactly “like Christ.”

    “Then the children of Judah came to Joshua in Gilgal. And Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him: “You know the word which the LORD said to Moses the man of God concerning you and me in Kadesh Barnea. I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadesh Barnea to spy out the land, and I brought back word to him as it was in my heart. Nevertheless my brethren who went up with me made the heart of the people melt, but I wholly followed the LORD my God. So Moses swore on that day, saying, ‘Surely the land where your foot has trodden shall be your inheritance and your children’s forever, because you have wholly followed the LORD my God.’ And now, behold, the LORD has kept me alive, as He said, these forty-five years, ever since the LORD spoke this word to Moses while Israel wandered in the wilderness; and now, here I am this day, eighty-five years old. As yet I am as strong this day as on the day that Moses sent me; just as my strength was then, so now is my strength for war, both for going out and for coming in.”
    ‭‭Joshua‬ ‭14:6-11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

    “So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the LORD. And He buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, opposite Beth Peor; but no one knows his grave to this day. Moses was one hundred and twenty years old when he died. His eyes were not dim nor his natural vigor diminished.”
    ‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭34:5-7‬ ‭NKJV‬

    “You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, Nor of the arrow that flies by day, Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday. A thousand may fall at your side, And ten thousand at your right hand; But it shall not come near you. Only with your eyes shall you look, And see the reward of the wicked. Because you have made the LORD, who is my refuge, Even the Most High, your dwelling place, No evil shall befall you, Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling; For He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you in all your ways. In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone. You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra, The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot. “Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name. He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him, And show him My salvation.”
    ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭91:5-16‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

    “Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
    ‭‭John‬ ‭8:31-32‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

    “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”
    ‭‭John‬ ‭16:33‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

    God commanded us to live holy and righteously which can only be achieved by overcoming the sin that we possess in our life. Most believers never allow this to occur since they do not understand how to surrender their will to God through testing the Spirits. Since they never allowed Jesus to teach them His word and truth they never become sanctified in truth just as the original disciples also had to become sanctified in God’s truth.

    “I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth. As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified by the truth.”
    ‭‭John‬ ‭17:14-19‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

    “But as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.”
    ‭‭I Peter‬ ‭1:15-16‬ ‭NKJV‬‬‬

    Because most believers lack knowledge of scripture they are foolishly allowing their god Lucifer to convince them that they are a child of God who will always have sin and sickness in their life and that is simply a lie. A child of God overcomes sin and sickness in this lifetime and they can no longer sin nor can they ever get sick since the devil can no longer touch them with his sicknesses. I know this first hand since I have been sanctified in truth and I have overcome sin and sickness in my life and this is why God has me relating His blessing in my writings and in my videos.

    “We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him.”
    ‭‭I John‬ ‭5:18‬ ‭NKJV

    “He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.”
    ‭‭I John‬ ‭3:8-9‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

    So if you believe that you will always sin and that sickness is a normal part of this life then you definitely are believing in the devil’s gospel and you certainly do not understand the victorious good news gospel of Jesus Christ. You are foolishly believing that the gospel is about eternal salvation and blessings in the next life and you clearly overlooked the blessings that Jesus provided for everyone in this lifetime. Because of your ignorance and your unbelief the only eternal life that you will ever experience is in the second death when all of the liars and the unbelievers will then be thrown into the lake of fire.

    “And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”
    ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭21:6-8‬ ‭NKJV‬
