There are those who’ve said that some of the diseases that are on the rampage right now, diseases such as AIDS, are God’s way of punishing immoral people today. There is absolutely no scriptural basis for that!
God does not bring disease on the human race. In fact, if there’s anybody in heaven and earth who hates it, it’s Jesus. The devil is the one who’s trying to tell us otherwise. He’s promoting a lie, trying to get us to believe God is the one who’s inflicting these diseases on people because he knows that if the victims believe that, it will drive them further from God than ever. And that’s his aim.

God is vehemently against worry. Jesus preached against it. Paul preached against it. The whole Bible preaches against worry because it was designed by Satan to produce stress, strain, and death.
Yet many of us still act as if it’s an option, as if we’re free to worry if we want to. But we’re not! Worrying is a sin. It’s one of those things the Word of God directly commands us not to do.

Even though Satan lost all his authority on this earth the day Jesus rose from the dead, for the past 2,000 years he’s been running around as a spiritual outlaw–continuing to kill, steal from, and destroy all who will let him. But, he’s not going to be able to do that much longer. There’s coming a day when he’s going to be put out of business completely. There’s coming a day when the evil he’s done here on earth will be put totally underfoot by the power of God.
Most believers know that’s true. They’ve shouted and rejoiced over it–but they haven’t really understood how it’s going to happen. They haven’t realized that they are the foot that’s going to trample down the works of the devil!

But there are many believers who never experience God’s mighty delivering power because, instead of walking closely with Him day by day, they wait until danger strikes to call upon Him. That just doesn’t work. If you want God to rescue you in the bad times, you have to fellowship with Him in the good times. Why? Because God responds to faith.
