Today is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it. (Psalm 118:24)
Also, it is my lovely daughter-in-law's (Sherryllynn Bell) birthday. From me to you--Happy Birthday, Ruthie. I love you!!
Now for our devotion. Good morning, friends. It is still very early. The roosters haven't even started crowing yet. But it's Monday so they're probably sleeping in for a while. We don't know what this day may bring so let us be ready. Have you prayed yet to our Heavenly Father? If not, join with me in doing so now.
Father God, we come unto You with a grateful heart. We thank You for another day You have given us to make better choices than we did yesterday. We thank You for a better night's sleep, and for all things we praise You. We put our trust in You to meet our needs for today. You have promised us provisions IF we obey and keep Your words and follow You and Your plans. May we enter into the joys of the Lord to please You, Father. We welcome you Holy Spirit into our life. Guide us to be a light to them in darkness that we may lead someone to give their heart, soul, mind, and body completely over to You. Use us as vessels to save souls from hell's fire and all there is in it. Thank You Lord Jesus. We praise You Holy One for You alone are worthy. Amen.
TODAY'S MESSAGE - Healing and Living Through the Presence of God
In the beginning of 2011, I knew some drastic changes had to be made in my life. I had been sick and down long enough! In fact, way too long! My spiritual eyes had scales on them. In fact, they were almost sealed shut! As I sat in my husband's recliner on a Sat. morning, I felt Death encamp about me. I could see and feel the dark cloud and I was afraid. I was not ready to die even though I had prayed a very silly and selfish thing - for God to take my life. I was SO tired of being sick and tired. The pain seemed more than I could bear. I was completely disgusted with my life. I had wallowed in self-pity long enough! God said "Enough is enough! Get up and get on with your life. There is much to do and people much worse off than you. I will heal, help and sustain you"! Praise God.
We, as Christians, must know how to get healing.
(1) By the Word of God. Learn scriptures to use. I'm listing some, but there are others.
Mark 5:29; Luke 4:40; Luke chap 6 and Chap 8; Acts 8:7; James 5:16; Rev. 13:3; 1 Cor. 13:30; 3 John Chap 2; Proverbs 16:24; Matthew 4:23; 1 Peter 2:24. There are so many scriptures and promises for healing, and they still apply TODAY! We must trust God for these things. I am not against good doctors. They certainly have important work to do. I know God has given some of them wisdom and knowledge to do a special work to benefit us.
(2) Examples of others and myself. I have been diagnosed with so many things - to name a few:
a. Arthritis
b. Fibromyalgia
c. Parkinson's
d. Sinusitis
e. Bi-Polar
God is Jehovah Rapha, our Healer!! I have NONE of these symptoms today and have not since I gave everything to Jesus and serve Him completely! I will tell more of my miracles next week - what we must do to receive and keep our healing. Jesus paid the ultimate price!!! What is our price? Are you willing to pay a price?
Looking Through the Eyes of Jesus,
Ms. June
Thought for Today - Psalm 1:1-4; 1 Cor. 4:16-17
Stay calmly focused on, and conscious of, Jesus today no matter what!!!
I will look to God for my help. My circumstances will not overcome me. God will help me with whatever comes my way - if I put my trust in Him. This is so true for me and can be for you!! Remember, healing first starts on the inside then as we become stronger in our spirit with God, He heals the outside. Let me hear from you. Please comment. Your thoughts and input is so important!
Again, Loving in Christ,
Ms. June & Mr. Roger
