GOD IS MORE THAN ENOUGH TO HANDLE ALL OUR BURDENS AND CARES THAT WE CAST UPON HIM?
Psalms 55:22 Cast your burden on the LORD, And He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved.
1 Peter 57 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.
Psalms 55:22 Cast your burden on the LORD, And He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved.
1 Peter 57 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.
Psalms 27:1 The LORD is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When the wicked came against me To eat up my flesh, My enemies and foes, They stumbled and fell.
3 Though an army may encamp against me, My heart shall not fear; Though war may rise against me, In this I will be confident.
4 One thing I have desired of the LORD, That will I seek: That I may dwell in the house of the LORD All the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the LORD, And to inquire in His temple.
5 For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion; In the secret place of His tabernacle He shall hide me; He shall set me high upon a rock.
6 And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me; Therefore I will offer sacrifices of joy in His tabernacle; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the LORD.

Eternal Life, Health, and Prosperity
Jesus became our substitute and redeemed us from the whole curse of the law. The curse, and how Jesus redeemed us, basically consisted of three parts.
The curse:
1) Spiritual death
2) Sickness and disease
3) Poverty
The redemption:
1) Eternal life (Hebrews 9:12)
2) Health and healing (1 Peter 2:24)
3) Prosperity (2 Corinthians 8:9)
Unfortunately for them, many people stop after one third of the curse has been broken in their life. Jesus paid the price to break the entire curse of the law, which included poverty, sickness, and spiritual death. We are good at telling people they need to become spiritually alive. We even tell them that when Jesus died on the cross, He became a curse (Gal. 3:13) and because He was cursed, we're not cursed anymore.
Why stop there? What about the curse of sickness and disease? What about the curse of poverty? He became our substitute in those things, too. The Scripture clearly tells us so. He paid the price you couldn't pay so that you can be rich.
He took the curse of poverty for you and He paid the price. Second Corinthians 8:9 says, "For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich."
This scripture can only mean that Jesus was the substitute for your poverty. He was the propitiation for that part of the curse of the law for you. It means that though He was so very rich (in heaven), yet for our sakes Jesus became like us (poor), so that we could become like Him (rich, enriched, and abundantly supplied)!
One time I heard a preacher say, "I don't want to use the word 'rich.' I'm just going to say 'doing well.'" Is it wrong to quote the Bible? Some denominations don't want to use the word "blood" because they're afraid it's offensive. Other denominations don't want to use the word "rich" because it's offensive. Who decides which words we take out of the Bible and which ones we don't?
I believe if you are healthy, spiritually alive and you've got some money in the bank, you can do more for the Gospel than if you're lying on your back in a hospital with a dead spirit and you're dead broke.
The devil does not want you living the Gospel. The Scripture says, "For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil" (1 John 3:8). What are the works of the devil? In John 10:10, Jesus tells us, "The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy..." Sounds like the curse of the law to me. The devil wants to kill you. He wants you spiritually dead. He wants to steal from you. He wants to destroy your body. The devil wants you to live under the curse. Jesus shed His blood so you wouldn't have to live under the curse.
