Why is it that when some Christians mature, they begin to
wear the disease of Arthritis, like a badge of courage? I do realize that when we begin to mature (I
don't like to use the words “getting old”) and don’t use our muscles as much or
as often, then our joints will get stiff.
Look at the “Tin Man” in the Wizard
of Oz.
A little rain or some of his tears came, and he needed some oil to take the
squeaks out and get him moving again. So
too, must we, keep our joints and all our body parts motivated.
Have you considered Moses and Sarah? Think about it. Here were two elderly people in their late
90’s and even 100’s. How do you think
they got up in the morning? When Moses
rolled over to get out of the bed do you believe that everything was
perfect? And what about having a
baby? The Immaculate Conception had not
happened in their lifetime. Remember
when Adam and Eve sinned? The curse of
sickness and disease was placed upon Moses and all of the people of the Old
Testament just as it were placed upon us.
If we get up with a little ache in our back, we think we have some pain
to endure and something to complain about.
What we should do is praise God that we were able ‘to get up at all'!
Don't just sit around when you retire and wait for Mr.
Arthur to show up. Don’t use him as an
excuse for not working in the church, for not being a witness, for not
attending worship service. Rebuke the
devil. Send him packing in Jesus’
name. “Submit yourselves therefore to God.
Resist the devil, and he will flee from you” (James 4:7). “And I will rebuke the devourer for your
sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground” (Mal. 3:11). Satan wants to take Gods’ laborers out of
action. Diseases are of the devil, and
we shall not succumb to him or his devices.
And right now, in the name of Jesus, I bind up the disease
of Juvenile Diabetes in all those persons who have the disease and who read and
believe these words. Be healed and be
well in Jesus’ name. Amen. [V. Poller - Personal
prayer for healing. 1999]
