Why Didn’t Jesus or His Apostles Get Sick? (Dec 4, 2022)

I had been ill off and on for about a year, and though I cast off the demonic attacks, for the first time in my life and service to Christ I wasn’t able to shake this. One day around November 8, 2022, Jesus said to me, “Why didn’t I or My disciples ever get sick.” As I thought about it, I said, “But Paul did get sick.”

Jesus then said, “Yes, and why did I tell him, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.'” He quickly answered Himself, “I Am My grace alive in you. [GRACE: “especially the divine [God’s] influence upon our heart, and its reflection in the life; including gratitude;  NT:5485).” 

You cannot change your heart into the loving heart of Christ, so God does it for each of us through His Grace: Once we receive Jesus Christ and God’s grace, His Holy Spirit, we MUST recognize that the grace of God begins to change each of us into who we will become throughout eternity: God’s nature and Spiritual image. That is the whole purpose of Christ’s death, resurrection, and Salvation: the New Creation and Beginning.

Jesus then asked me again, “Why didn’t I or My disciples get sick? He went on to explain, “We prayed constantly without ceasing and no negative, fallen, vexing, demonic spirits dared to come near us; they were afraid of us. All they saw was the Word, the Holy Spirit, and promises of God our Father standing between us and them.

Jesus then explained that praying is so much more than talking at Jesus and our Father in order to ask for what you want. It is a continual prayer for all manner of fallen mankind and ourselves in repentance, prayers of love for all (the abused children, the lost, those living in poverty, the sick, downhearted and those individuals about ready to give up, etc. The list goes on and on… It is a matter of talking and communicating WITH Jesus off and on all day long, every day.

That means that all day we are talking with Jesus and LISTENING for Him to answer both internally and externally.

(Ephesians 2:4-10)  But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us IN Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,  not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. NKJV

[Salvation begins with the confession that Christ is our Lord, but we MUST progress to the finished product through God’s GRACE, God Himself, living and working within each of us daily and continually: God’s perfection in each and all as One, the One Body of Christ with many members!]

I know we will see each other on the other side 🙂 I love you my sisters and brothers, Chris
