Answer This Question. Do You Truly Believe?

He said in Luke 10:19, “Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.”

Hello @Heavenian, are you saying that we can tell who a real Christian is 1. because true believers ~never~ get sick or hurt, or 2. because true believers are never ~afraid~ of getting sick or hurt, or 3. both

Thanks!

Your reaction to the things going on in the world today shows whether or not you truly believe in Jesus. It’s the pressures of life that reveal your convictions. If as a Christian, you’re “afraid” of sickness or disease, then in which God did you believe? Certainly not the same God that Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, the Prophets and the Apostles knew and talked about.

Jesus highlighted the signs with which to identify those who believe in Him, part of which we read in our opening scripture. No one who truly believes in Jesus will be afraid of any sickness or infectious disease. He said in Luke 10:19, “Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.”

Thanks,
JESUS IS LORD.

The Truth is that many don't still believe even though they are Christians. The Word of GOD our Blessed Holy Father is Truth and Reality.
Christians don't get sick. If the devil struck you with sickness, don't believe it because it is a lie. If you refused to believe the lies of the devil and believe only what GOD has said and confuse who you are in Christ; no matter what the devil do to your body, it will never prosper.
The Life GOD has given us, can not be affected by sickness. We have the Life and Nature of GOD. So, if you feel as if you are sick, don't believe it because it is a lie from the devil and don't confuse it with your mouth. Don't say, "I'm sick." For the LORD says in the book of Isaiah 33:24 "No one living in Zion will say, 'I am ill.......' (NIV) or And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick...... (KJV)". All Christians are now in Zion, the city which the LORD says, no one should say, I am sick. We are now in that city called Zion which is CHRIST. Glory to GOD.
Remember, a Christians should live by faith not by feelings or senses. For The righteous shall live by faith (Romans 1:17). And faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of GOD (Romans 10:17). And the Word of Faith is in your Mouth and your Heart (Romans 10:8).
It is impossible to please GOD our Precious Holy FATHER without Faith (Hebrews 11:6).


Christians suffer and die because of lack of Knowledge (Hosea 4:6).

One day, as I was talking to the LORD, HE said to me that if I talk like man and live like man then I will suffer like man and die like man.
I have said, " You are gods, sons of the Most High GOD, all of you; nevertheless, like men you shall die, and fall like any prince (Psalm 82:6-7).

Reasons Christians suffer and die like man is because of Lack of Knowledge that is the Knowledge of the Word of GOD. They talk like men. The LORD says, "The 'gods' know nothing, they understand nothing. They walk about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken... (Psalms 82:5).

Thank You Deuteronomy for your reply.
JESUS IS LORD.

Your presumption is alarming. Paul got sick. So did Trophimus, Timothy and Epaphroditis. Many Corinthians got sick and some died. It was not lack of faith or bible knowledge. They were looking down on other Christians. Be real careful what you say about God's own. You may find yourself wishing that you'd kept your mouth shut.
