God be glorified in sickness<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

“Lord, the one you love is sick.”<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

That’s what they told Jesus when they told him that his friend Lazarus was sick.<\/span>\u00a0It is a word of great consolation, told to someone who is truly loved.<\/span>\u00a0For this message, Jesus has an answer:<\/span><\/p>\n

“This sickness does not lead to<\/i>\u00a0death,\u00a0but it is for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified by him” (Jn 11,4).<\/i><\/span>\u00a0God, by loving us, calls us to believe in this great truth.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jesus expresses the will of God.<\/span>\u00a0Whatever disease or situation we present to the Lord will serve His glory, because in this way the Son of God will be glorified.<\/span>\u00a0I have seen how the Lord has healed people who are deceived by doctors because of serious illnesses.<\/span><\/p>\n

By entrusting and crying out to the Lord, people in the terminal phase, in extreme situations and affected by incurable diseases were healed;<\/span>\u00a0True miracles have happened.<\/span>\u00a0What will guarantee us faith in the word is constant and persistent prayer.<\/span>\u00a0We can exercise acts of faith in prayer:<\/span><\/p>\n

“This disease will not end with death, it will serve the glory of God: it is through it that the Son of God is to be glorified!<\/em><\/span>\u00a0I believe, Lord, but increase my faith;<\/em><\/span>\u00a0Strengthen my faith.<\/em><\/span>\u00a0This disease will not end with death, it will serve the glory of God: it is through it that the Son of God is to be glorified.<\/em><\/span>\u00a0I believe in this truth, Lord.<\/em><\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0I will always repeat it, for the righteous will live by faith;<\/em><\/span>\u00a0The children of God will live by faith.<\/em><\/span>\u00a0By faith I will live your miracles.<\/em><\/span>\u00a0Amen!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

This is how we will partake of the greatness of God as our ancestors: because they believed, they sang the praises of God.<\/span><\/p>\n
