Conclusions we can come to based on the word of God
IF there is sin, we can know trouble will haunt us.
This is because of the consequences of sin.
This can either be due to ignorance or willful disobedience to God
Praying for relief of weakness, doesn’t always bring a healing.
There are physical weaknesses, injuries, sickness, or cancer that isn’t promised to be healed in the Word of God. This isn’t a promise. Yet God will sometimes answer this.
There are spiritual weaknesses, addictions, sin patterns, that CAN be healed. This is promised in the Word of God.
We can understand this when we are abiding in the Lord and in His Word.
We can begin to see why we are not getting the victory, because I am not depending on God in the right areas and I’m claiming promises of God that are never made.
Once we are able to think abstractly and reasonably about the things of our past, we can begin to take the steps to healing.
Looking at the right and wrong understanding of God’s works.
Many times we believe the removal of obstacles will help us to rest. But when we are looking at the situation it isn’t the obstacles bringing the conflict or lack of rest. We then find that our relationship with the Lord brings the peace, which allows us to find rest. The best representation is continuing to hide the Lord’s word in our hearts, then we would delight in Him, and as a result we see the child of God who looks like the image in Psalm 1.
