Objection: God May Want You to Get Sicker So That When You Get Healed, It Will Be a Major Miracle That Will Get Everyone’s Attention
I knew someone who fell for this one. She was utterly convinced that she was supposed to get sicker so that, in her words, when she got healed, it would be a miracle that would blow open the entire county to the gospel.
So she ALLOWED Satan to make her sicker and sicker with HIS cancer until she was almost dead.
Unfortunately, at that point, she was so weak and beaten up, she just wanted to die. And she did.
This objection clearly fails The SAME Test. You cannot find a single instance in Scripture where Jesus told anyone, “God’s will is for you to get sicker so that when you get healed, it will be a bigger miracle.”
If He never said it then, He will never say it today. It is NEVER God’s will for you to get sicker. He wants you to enjoy the HEALING that Jesus paid for you to have right now. This objection is just a “sick” variant of the objection that God could tell you “Wait” when you pray.
Anyone who agrees with this objection does not really know God. The person may be truly saved, but he does not know God as He really is. The REAL God abounds with mercy and compassion for sick people. He would NEVER put anyone through the devil’s garbage just to further His own kingdom.
