July 9th 2023 – God’s Compassion and Power to Heal

Leave a reply

Today, let’s reflect on the profound gift of healing that our Lord has bestowed upon us. Throughout the pages of the Bible, we witness countless examples of God’s compassion and power to heal the brokenness in our lives. It is through His grace and love that we find restoration, both in body and spirit.

Isaiah 53:5 – “But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.”

In the book of Isaiah, we are reminded that it is the Lord who heals our diseases and binds up our wounds. His divine touch brings forth miraculous healing, mending the deepest pains and restoring us to wholeness. It is through His Son, Jesus Christ, that we find ultimate healing, for He bore our sins and infirmities on the cross, offering us redemption and eternal life.

As followers of Christ, we are called to not only seek healing for ourselves but to also become vessels of His healing for others. We are encouraged to extend the love and compassion of Jesus to those who are hurting and broken, just as He did during His earthly ministry. Through prayer, laying on of hands, and speaking words of encouragement, we have the privilege to participate in the healing work of our Lord.

However, we must also recognize that healing does not always occur in the way we expect or desire. Sometimes, physical ailments persist, emotional wounds linger, and the answers to our prayers seem elusive. In these moments, we are called to trust in God’s sovereignty and wisdom. He alone knows what is best for us, and He promises to be with us in every season of life.

Even if complete physical healing is not granted in this earthly realm, we can find solace in the spiritual healing that God offers. His grace is sufficient to carry us through any affliction, providing comfort, peace, and strength. Through our trials, we are refined and transformed, drawing closer to God and becoming more like His Son, Jesus Christ.

Let us also remember that healing extends beyond the physical realm. Our souls require healing from the wounds of sin, guilt, and shame. It is through the power of Christ’s sacrifice and forgiveness that we find true spiritual healing. As we surrender our brokenness to Him, He washes away our sins and fills us with His perfect love and peace.

Today, let us approach the throne of grace with faith and confidence, seeking God’s healing touch in our lives. Whether it be physical, emotional, or spiritual healing, we can trust that our Heavenly Father hears our prayers and responds according to His perfect will. Let us also strive to be instruments of His healing, bringing hope and restoration to those around us.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, We come before you today, seeking your healing touch in our lives. We lay our burdens and ailments at your feet, trusting in your power to restore and renew us. Lord, we believe that you are the Great Physician, capable of healing every affliction, both physical and spiritual.

In the name of Jesus, we ask for your healing presence to flow through our bodies, bringing strength, comfort, and restoration. Touch every area of pain, sickness, and disease, and replace it with your divine health. We declare that by your stripes, we are healed.

Lord, we also ask for emotional and spiritual healing. Mend the brokenness within our hearts and minds, and bring peace and wholeness to our souls. Heal us from the wounds of the past, and fill us with your love, joy, and peace that surpasses all understanding.

We pray not only for ourselves but also for those around us who are in need of healing. Reach out your hand and touch them with your grace and mercy. Use us as instruments of your healing, that we may bring hope and comfort to those who are hurting.

As we await your healing touch, grant us patience, faith, and trust in your perfect timing. Help us to surrender our worries and fears, knowing that you are in control and have a plan for our lives. May your will be done, and may your healing power be manifest in our lives for your glory.

In Jesus’ holy and precious name, we pray. Amen.

If you have never experienced the love of God through a relationship with Jesus then come to Him today. He will never turn you away.

February 11th 2018 – Dealing with Doubt?

Leave a reply

“I tell you the truth, those who listen to my message and believe in God who sent me have eternal life.” (John 5:24)

One question that I was recently asked is, can Christians lose their salvation? People are afraid of this, and I think it’s for good reason. New believers often experience moments of doubt, and so do Christians who have known the Lord for many years. In fact, the first temptation the serpent presented in the Garden of Eden was to doubt God. He said to Eve, “Did God really say you must not eat the fruit from any of the trees in the garden?” (Genesis 3:1). In other words, “Did God really say what you thought He said?”

When you have thoughts like, Maybe I’m not saved; maybe Christ really isn’t living inside of me, you need to stand on the Word of God, not on your emotions, because emotions will fluctuate. When they do, here are some Scriptures passages to remind you of God’s faithfulness:

“All who believe in the Son of God know in their hearts that this testimony is true.” (1 John 5:10)

“For his Spirit joins with our spirit to affirm that we are God’s children.” (Romans 8:16)

“I tell you the truth, those who listen to my message and believe in God who sent me have eternal life. They will never be condemned for their sins, but they have already passed from death into life.” (John 5:24)

“I have written this to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know you have eternal life.” (1 John 5:13)

“No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 8:37-39)

During His temptation the wilderness, Jesus responded to each challenge with the words, “It is written,” and then He quoted the Scriptures. Jesus stood on ground that we, too, can occupy. As we quote the Scriptures, it will bolster our faith. That is why we need to know the Word of God.

“Dealing with DOUBT? Pull your Bible OUT!”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, Thank You for the Bible. I realize many men and women have died that I might have a copy of it in my life. It truly is a treasure and a light to my path. Please help me to read it, dig into it, and spend my days going through the incredible riches of this supernatural book. Thank you for making your Word available to me. Its because of your sacrifice on the cross and Your very written word that I can have assurance of salvation. I declare that I’m increasing in knowledge and understanding, and the Word of God is producing in me what it talks about. Thank You God for writing Your love letter straight to me called the Bible. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

February 6th 2017 – Life’s Greatest Unknown

Leave a reply
“We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.”(2nd Corinthians 5:8)

The belief of the Greeks during the time of Jesus and Paul was that death swallowed up everything including life, people and animals. The Bible reverses that and says that life swallows up death and victory swallows up death.

(1 Corinthians 15:54) “Death is swallowed up in victory.”

(2 Corinthians 5:4) “these dying bodies will be swallowed up by life.”

How awesome is this? Life’s greatest unknown, death, is both life’s greatest enemy and greatest fear, yet it is turned upside down and inside out by our God. Jesus not only turned death into victory, but also the tomb into a changing closet. Instead of fear, death can reveal a deep confidence and trust in God. The more you read the Bible, the stronger this confidence becomes (Romans 10:17).

(2 Corinthians 5:8) “We are fully confident.” The two thieves that faced death with Jesus tell us an interesting story. One taunted and teased Jesus, and the other asked Jesus for forgiveness. The big question is, “Which thief are you?” Jesus said to the one who asked for forgiveness, “Today, you will be with me in paradise.” There is nothing to fear about paradise, and there is nothing to fear about heaven or the journey there.

“For the believer, death is the threshold of heaven.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, Thank You for loving me. Thank You for dying for me on the cross so that I could be forgiven. Lord, sometimes I do not understand heaven and death, but thank You for reminding me in Your Word that I have nothing but victory to look forward to. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
