THE GOAL FOR THE CHRISTIAN IS ULTIMATELY NOT PHYSICAL HEALING BUT HONORING, EXALTING JESUS CHRIST IN THEIR BODY WHETHER BY LIFE OR BT DEATH!-
THE GOAL FOR THE CHRISTIAN IS GOD-CENTERED AND OTHERS CENTERED PRIMARILY… HIS GLORY, THEIR ETERNAL BENEFIT! –
“…Christ will even now, as always, be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death.”-{Phil 1:20}
What if God chooses not to heal? That is HIS Business. Does that mean your life is of no significance? Does it mean you cannot pray? Others cannot benefit? Christ cannot be magnified? God cannot be glorified? Of course not! There are truths we “wrestle ” with, there are truths we REJOICE IN. There is ONE we REST IN, irrespective of our circumstances, for this is not our final abode, we will go and see Him and be with Him for eternity. -{Read Philippians 1:23}. Now is our moment to live to Glorify Him in our bodies. In your weakness, rest in the fact your life is not a waste. God has not made a mistake. God is intimately involved in putting Himself on display to you and through you. Bottom Line- “…CHRIST MAGNIFIED whether by life or death in MY BODY!”- {Phil 1:20}. Whether a person has a young body, an elderly body, a healthy body, or a sickly body, the goal is Christ magnified! Christ Exalted the goal! And the good news, is that you can exalt Jesus Crist in your body, with your life by the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit enabling you. “For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases Him.”-{Philippians 2:13 nlt}.
What comfort is found in Him, His Word, His SUSTAINING SUFFICIENT GRACE,- to MAGNIFY JESUS CHRIST whether by life or death with the body God has given us. That is TRUE HOPE. REST in Him! Your life is counting! “Whatever you Do, Do ALL things for the Glory of God.”-{ 1 Cor 10:31}. This includes illness and suffering. Do them well, with ETERNAL PERSPECTIVE! Magnify Christ!
