Your
doctor or insurance agent may ask you, “Do you have a family history of
cancer?” If you say, “Yes,” they will probably tell you that you might get some
form of cancer too.
Now,
if you are without God, you would probably agree with them and start worrying
about your health. But you are not without God! In fact, His Word tells you, “A
thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it
shall not come near you.” Therefore, even if you have a family history of
cancer, and your family members have died of cancer, you can have the
confidence to declare that it will not come near you!
My
mother had this attitude. After a thorough medical check-up, the doctor was
surprised and told her that she did not have high blood pressure or heart
disease, although these two conditions have plagued her father and siblings.
You see, my mother had already firmly declared that no deadly, family-related
disease would come near her.
Praise
God for my mother’s trust in God’s Word because I am the generation after her!
In fact, after my mother told me about the results of her check-up, I randomly
opened my Bible only to read about Rahab the harlot who by faith “did not
perish with those who did not believe” (Hebrews 11:31).
Beloved,
God wants you to know that even though you are in this world,
you are not of this world. You belong to Him and because He is
on your side, “He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the
perilous pestilence” (Psalm 91:3).
Even when it comes to generational diseases, you can boldly declare, “That disease stops here!” because you have God and His Word. And when you believe God and His Word, you will see His promises come to pass for you—“A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you”!
