People need the Lord so badly

"Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition."

(Matthew 15:6)

Cancer. Heart disease. Multiple sclerosis. When we think of killer diseases, those are the names that come to mind. But the truth is, there's a far more deadly killer on the loose in the Church today. And it's destroyed more lives than any of us can imagine. It's called tradition. Traditions rob believers of their healing. They steal the power from the promises of God. Here are three you should beware of:

1. The tradition that says it's not always God's will to heal you. It is God's will to heal you! It says so in His Word. If you don't believe that it is, then you can't pray in faith believing you'll receive. You're like the farmer who sits on his porch and says, "I believe! in crops, but I'm not going to plant any seed this year. I'll just believe, and if it's God's will, my crop will come up." That farmer will never see his crop. Faith is the seed of healing--if you don't plant it, it won't grow. A prayer that includes the words, "If it be thy will" won't produce a healing harvest. You must know without a doubt that healing is always God's will for you.

2. Another tradition we hear is that healing has passed away. That there are no miracles today. But the Word of God proves that's not true. In Exodus 15:26, God says, "I am the Lord that healeth thee." He also tells us that He does not change (Mal. 3:6). He has never changed since the beginning of time. For healing to pass away, God would have to pass away...and He is not about to do that!

3. The third dangerous tradition is this one: "God gets glory from Christians being sick." That tradition totally violates the Word of God. The Bible says that people gave glory to God when they! saw the lame walk and the blind see. God receives glory from your healing--not your pain!

The world is looking for a way out of sickness and disease, not a way into it. Let's break down those traditions and deliver a hurting world from the most dangerous killer of all.

This is so true we have let tradition cloud our thinking. Not only in the case of healing, but in many other ways. How many times have we let our selves be judged based on the world's or the Church's tradition?

You can spend your time tring to please the church, the world, man or can we spend our time pleasing God. I can tell you now you will never live up to all of your Pastor's expectations, or your Boss's or Parents.

Remember that the only one you have to please is God. What is of the utmost importance is your relationship with your Father. Always do what He says, not what the world wants. And funny He wants you to love him above all others. He will protect you, love you, mentor you. He will never leave or forsake you. He will provide for all your needs all you have to do is love him and follow his plan for your life.

Remeber HIS PLAN not anyone elses and you will be fine.
