July 22nd 2023 – God’s Faithful Promise of Abundant Blessings

Deuteronomy 7:15 – “The Lord will remove from you all sickness, and he will not inflict on you any of the harmful diseases of Egypt that you have known, but he will inflict them on all who hate you.” –

In this verse, God reveals His compassionate nature and His desire to bless His children abundantly. The Israelites were about to enter the Promised Land, and God, through Moses, was reminding them of His faithfulness. He assured them that He would remove all sickness and protect them from the harmful diseases they had witnessed during their time in Egypt.

This promise holds great significance for us as believers today. Just as God delivered the Israelites from the bondage of slavery, He has delivered us from the power of sin through His Son, Jesus Christ. We have been set free to live a life of abundant blessings, both spiritual and physical.

God’s promise to remove all sickness from His people reveals His heart of compassion and the depth of His love. He longs for us to experience wholeness and well-being, knowing that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19). While we may still face physical challenges in this fallen world, we can trust that God is our ultimate healer. He has the power to bring restoration, healing, and complete well-being into our lives.

Moreover, this verse serves as a reminder that God is our protector. He shields us from the harmful afflictions that may seek to harm us. It is important to understand that this does not mean we will never face difficulties or opposition in life. However, we can be assured that God will be with us every step of the way, shielding us from the full impact of the trials we encounter.

As we meditate on this promise, let us also remember that God’s blessings are not solely for our benefit. This verse also highlights that those who hate God’s people will experience the very afflictions that God promises to spare His children. It reveals God’s justice and His unwavering commitment to His people.

In conclusion, let us hold onto the truth embedded in Deuteronomy 7:15. Our loving God desires to bless us abundantly, bringing healing and protection into our lives. He longs to see us flourish in every aspect of our existence, both spiritually and physically. Let us trust in His faithfulness and remain steadfast in our devotion to Him. May we draw closer to God each day, knowing that He is our healer, protector, and the source of all blessings.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father,

We come before You today with hearts overflowing with gratitude and awe for Your unwavering love and faithfulness. We thank You for the promise You have given us in Deuteronomy 7:15, assuring us of Your divine protection and healing.

Lord, we acknowledge that You are the Great Physician, the One who holds all power and authority over sickness and disease. We humbly ask that You fulfill Your promise to remove all sickness from our lives. We pray for those who are currently battling illnesses, physical ailments, or any form of affliction. May Your healing touch be upon them, bringing restoration and wholeness to their bodies.

Father, we lift up those who may be facing challenges, feeling overwhelmed by physical and emotional pain. Grant them strength and courage to endure, knowing that You are with them every step of the way. Surround them with Your comforting presence and pour out Your divine healing upon them.

Lord, we also pray for protection. Shield us from harmful diseases and afflictions that may seek to harm us. We trust in Your unfailing love and unwavering care. May Your divine hedge of protection surround us, our families, and our loved ones.

Help us to remember that Your blessings are not just for our benefit but also for the transformation of the world around us. As we experience Your healing and protection, empower us to be witnesses of Your love and compassion. Guide us to extend a helping hand to those in need, offering comfort, support, and prayers.

Lord, we surrender our lives into Your hands, trusting in Your perfect plan for us. Strengthen our faith and deepen our relationship with You. Help us to walk in obedience to Your Word, knowing that Your promises are true and unchanging.

We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers and for being our ever-present help in times of trouble. May Your name be glorified in every aspect of our lives. In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.

December 6th 2019 – When Situations Seem Bleak

“Peter was therefore kept in prison, but constant prayer was offered to God for him by the church.” (Acts 12:5)

How can you cultivate hope when life looks bleak?

The book of Acts chapter 12 opens with a challanging scenario “It’s Bleak!” James has been executed, and Peter has been arrested by King Herod. Next, he was going to be killed. But then we read that “constant prayer was offered to God for him by the church” (verse 5). The church took this seriously and began to pray. So God sent an angel to deliver Peter from prison, and the story has a much happy ending.

Feeling like there is no hope is one of the most challenging emotions to manage. After all, why would someone even try when he believes there is no hope, and correspondingly, no possibility for things to improve?

Maybe you are facing a bleak scenario right now. Maybe you have received some bad news from your doctor or are facing a difficult situation at work. Maybe there is a problem in your family. Maybe things have gone from bad to worse, and you don’t know what to do. Pray about it. Get your Christian friends to pray about it with you. Bring the situation before the Lord, because with God, all things are possible. God can take impossible situations and turn them around for His glory.

Trust God!

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, we call upon You in the middle of this storm, That You give us the strength and will to bear our heavy burdens, until we can again feel the warmth and love of Your divine compassion. Be mindful of us and have mercy on us while we struggle to comprehend life’s hardships that come a storms of life. When fear and panic, shock and dismay are close by, so are you. May we always recconize you , Keep us ever in Your watch until these times of opposition of life pass. Thank you for the Church Body. In Jesus’ precious and glorious name, Amen.

Personal Prayer Request.

I personally am facing a bleak situation in my life, which also includes my sweet wife. A series of unavoidable events happened in my life that turned our life upside down. These events came in the form of spiritual attacks. The enemy has been orchestrating opposition around every corner for a very long time, I can actually relate to the book of Job. I do trust and seek the Lord daily. I keep pushing forward, in prayer and praying for others even writing devotions daily (for years) in the midst of the chaos. But I feel weak, exhausted and often feel at Loss. I know God loves me, I know God can help us with the circumstances. I now petition the Church Body to pray for my wife and I. That by some miracle the circumstances could change and we could have a time of relief and not total opposition.  If you feel led to reach out to me, my contact info is listed below. Thank you for your prayers.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, we call upon You in the middle of this storm, That You give us the strength and will to bear our heavy burdens, until we can again feel the warmth and love of Your divine compassion.
