" It has frustrated all efforts; its heavy deposit has not been removed, not even by fire. " - Ezekiel 24:12
this day (fri) was the 'start' of my illness - flu.
noserunninglikeanopentap, sneezeuncontrollablyeverynowandthen kind of flu.
at first i thought God was punishing me. for frustrating all his efforts in trying to cleanse me.
my impurity still remained as a heavy deposit.
oh no so now the Lord is trying to teach me a lesson..?
on second thought i thought but hey, Jesus has died for us, now there isn't a need to punish us, cuz he's already punished Jesus..!
hmm but that can't be totally right, too. we can't just keep living in sin without nothing happening to us, can we..?
so then i realised that
sin is an open door which Satan uses to gain a stronghold and attack us.
ho ho.
God wasn't punishing me with sickness, it was just that satan's lies had deceived me into thinking so. God's wrath was poured out on Jesus, and by his stripes we are healed. but by living in sin we hand our bodies over to satan to infect us with terrible diseases.
it is an interesting notion to ponder that phsycial illness is related to spiritual health.
Lord, i repent. for living in my sin. i no longer want to tolerate it anymore, because i know you can't. help me break free into a victorious life.
amen.
