The enemy does not have access to us when we’re positioned in Christ because he does not have access to Christ. One step out of Love—God is Love, is a step into sin. There is no in-between God and sin. There is no sitting room in-between to decide which way you want to go, God or sin. (I John 4:16)

 

As long as I dwell—live in, hold my position in Christ, the enemy—curse of the law, has no access to me. (Psalm 91:1)

 

Curse of the law being; sickness, disease, grief, sorrow, poverty, the dominion of sin and the power of darkness. (Isaiah 53:4-5, II Corinthians 8:9, Romans 6:14 & 18, Colossians 1:13)

 

If I step out of love, my life and ministry becomes an open door for the enemy—the curse of the law from which I have been redeemed. (Ephesians 4:27)

 

The Israelites in the wilderness, with the exception of Joshua and Caleb, their hearts were hard against God for too long. He lifted his hand of protection from them and it was then the poisonous serpents could access them. God did not create the poisonous serpents, to attack His people. The serpents were already there. When God lifted His hand of protection, the poisonous serpents then had access to them. (Numbers 21:6) 

 

In numbers 21:6 it says the Lord sent the fiery serpents. He did this, by lifting His hand of protection. He knew the serpents were out there. When He lifted his hand of protection that gave the serpents permission to access the people. 

 

When we reject God that gives the enemy access to our lives. 

 

John 5:14

      Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.

 

Jesus healed the paralyzed man at the pool of Bethesda. And later saw him in the temple. Even though the man was in the temple, he was still sinning. 

 

Sickness is attached to sin. Stay out of sin and you will stay out of sickness. The blood of Jesus is our sign to the curse, ACCESS DENIED.

 

If I even feel the presence of the enemy against me, I am living too low—too close to the edge.  If I feel him around me, I smile and say, “Access Denied.”  If someone with sickness gets around me, I smile and say, “Access Denied.”  I then continue to walk in my freedom. 

 

In Christ or in a fallen world? Christians are in Christ and in Christ, the fallen world has no access. We are not in the world, we are in Christ on the earth. (John 16:33 AMPC) Sickness has no access without sin. Sickness is attached to sin. Sickness does not stand alone. Sickness is not its own entity. Sickness has no sustenance without sin. Sin is the very life of sickness. Without sin, they’ll be no sickness. 

 

Here is the scripture passage that trips Christians up regarding this subject.

 

James 5:15-16

     15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. 

     16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

 

James says “. . .if he have committed sins. And then in verse 16 he points out the kind of sin he is talking about. 

 

“Confess your faults one to another,” in other words, if you have a fault, hold something against someone, go work that out and then you will be healed. It looks like James was operating by the Word of Knowledge. He pointed out the sin that would keep the sick one sick.  He did not accuse the sick one, he said, “If you have fault . . .”

 

I John 4:17

      Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.

 

Jesus has no sin, therefore, He is not sick. We are not accessible to sickness any more than Jesus is.  In Christ, we are as righteous as Jesus is. The fallen world can’t touch the righteousness of Jesus. (II Corinthians 5:21)

 

Have a great week everyone and remember that Jesus is coming soon!
