Text: Luke 10:17-22

You can choose to reject what the devil tries to do in your life. There are certain things you must not accept, however. There is no need for every true follower of Jesus Christ to die through sickness because, according to I Peter 2:24, “By His stripes we are healed.” He has already paid for our healing. There is absolutely no reason for you to die through sickness, unless you choose to do so.

Some people have asked that if one does not die in sickness, how else would one die? You do not have to be sick to die. When a child of God is ready for heaven he or she should just walk there. Again, there is no reason for any true believer to die in poverty. The Bible says, in II Corinthians 8:9, that Jesus Christ became poor that we might become rich. He had no house so that you could build a house and not die a tenant. He did not have a horse so that you mighty have a big car. Refuse to die in poverty. Appropriate what Christ has paid for through Calvary.

There is no reason for a true child of God to die in sorrow. In John 16:24, Jesus Christ says we should ask till our joy is full. He does not say we should ask till our sorrow is full. There is no reason for any child of God to die under demonic oppression. John 8:32 and 36 say we shall know the truth and the truth shall make us free, and that whoever the Son shall set free, shall be free indeed. You also have no reason to remain in bondage. You have no reason to remain in sin.

I John 1:7 says the blood of Jesus Christ will cleanse us from all sins. No true child of God has any reason to die in sinful habits. Romans 6:14 says sin shall have no dominion over you. Any child of who sins should know that the spirit of sin has domino over him or her.  Even if you are a backslider, you do not have to die in your backslidden state. If you call on God that you want to come back to Him He will answer you. You should not accept any condition that runs contrary to the divine provision for your life.
