Recently we were given the website of Thurman Scrivner to hear some audio testimonies of healing and faith. ("Katlynn's Miracle").  What a moving story it is and a great testimony of God doing what He has promised us in His Word in healing a precious baby who almost died in a terrible car accident.

When I looked at all of the audios, there were so many, it was a daunting choice.  I asked the Lord, WHICH audio should we listen to and chose "Lord, WHAT Have I Done Wrong". 
Well the Lord directed me correctly for us in answer to prayer.  You see, we desire to walk in faith and holiness, which also had been our prayer and how we might better please God.

In a nutshell, Thurman told of someone who needed healing and there was an obstacle called sin in the persons life. The person is a Christian and could not think of any sin he/she had been committing, until brother Thurman asked them if they had been murmuring or complaing agaist ANYONE.

OOPS!
The person said "yes" and recalled who it was and that it had been going on a long time. Thurman brought out Philipians 2:14 which says:
"Do all things without murmurings and questionings (means disputing):"

Immediately I paused the audio and instantly knew of my own guilt before the Lord. Oh, sweet repentence as my wife and I now became accountable to more truth from scripture. I realized I had probably broken this admonition at least every month and maybe every week since becoming a Christian 30 years ago.  Thank God for the blood covering but now we may receive the blood washing us by the water of the Word as we repented and seek to obey the King of kings!

Here's the verse as defined:
"Do":         the act of  doing. Our actions.
"ALL":       in the Greek, it means "all".  ALL?, -yes, all. God's Standard.
"things"      a word added to the text, not in the original, so you can drop "things" if you want.
"Without":  the opposite of "all". In other words, none, zero, zippo.  
"murmurings": a murmur, murmuring, muttering
a secret debate, a secret displeasure not openly avowed.  
murmuring 3, grudging 1. complaint 2, grumbling 2
 
Well there it is, the definition from the Greek lexicon. OUCH! 
Every day last week found us repenting as the memory of many times we disobeyed the Word here in complaining, grumbling, and secretly debating with friends, family, our children, the neighbors, politicians, and other Christians.  And we are STILL repenting as God refreshes our memory from what we now recognize was sin.  This is even more serious when we do so against Christians because we are not discerning the Lord's body.

"For this cause many among you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep." 1Cor 11:30

A week later, my Bible fell open to another re-inforcement of what God is surely teaching us:
James 5:9 
Murmur not, brethren, one against another, that ye be not judged: behold, the judge standeth before the doors. 

We now had TWO strong witnesses but the Lord was not through and gave revelation for these verses.
As we were now very aware of our sin concerning "murmring", the Lord revealed His judgement, which results in chastisement.

Usually this takes the form of sickness, affliction, physical problems, or accidents for a few examples. Even things like acne, warts, bunions, disease, sickness, diabetes,etc. which are all part of His "judgements" referred to as the curse. And he said in scripture to His people, "The curse causeless alighteth not".. 

This is not taught in most churches and the sufferings of Christians bear witness to the truth of God chastising His people but they "just don't get it". 

The Lord plainly says He will judge us in this life and chastise us. 1Cor. 11:29-32 and Hebrews 12:6-15 for example, and we bettter read carefully.
When we read "behold, the Judge stands at the doors", the Lord gave understanding that the WORD of God is the judge standing before the "doors".
(John 12:48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day)

"Doors", plural. What was that?
Those doors are our natural senses: the ears, the eyes, the touch, the smell, and especially our mouth.
So we have the Word as a witness and judge as to what goes in and out of those doors.
Matthew 12:37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

Now back to Philipians for the GOOD NEWS.
As we look again at Philipians 2, I would ask you if you have ever wondered about your spiritual garment?

Here is an example: 
Revelation 3:4 Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.

Have you wondered how you were doing and the condition of yours?
I have, and sure hoped it was clean.  The good news is that as we obey the Word and REALLY BELIEVE the Word (not just knowing it or just being hearers), then our robe is washed and purified by the Word. 
 Ephesians 5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,

-which is what the passage in Philipians 2 goes on to says also:

15 that ye may become blameless and harmless, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom ye are seen as lights in the world,

Isn't that a wonderful Promise from God?
We "MAY BECOME BLAMELESS..." as we repent and obey this Word through the power of the holy Spirit.  I might add that the promises of God are taken hold of by FAITH as we obey the living Word. Not only that, but when we meet the requirement of repenting and confessing our sin, then we may also receive the benefit of healing.

This is why many do not get healed, they simply do not connect sin with physical affliction.  God has promised us over and over in scripture of His Will is for us to be healed, and to walk in holiness.

Repenting deeply for our murmuring, complaining, grudging, railing, and condemning people brings cleansing and healing; we have this priviledge as his sons and daughters.
