All together now

Matthew 18:19 -"Again I say to you, that if two of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask, it shall be done for them by My Father who is in heaven.

thoughts on healing

Isaiah proclaimed to Hezekiah that he received the word of the Lord, saying, 'Thus says the Lord, the God of your father David, " I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears; behold, I will heal you." -2 Kings 20:5

I believe that taking the time to pray about health and healing is very therapeutic. It opens up opportunities for miracles to happen. I believe it also strengths your "faith muscles". I must admit that I do enjoy that type of workout!!! I can honestly say that my mind, body, and spirit reap the benefits almost on a daily basis.

Take a look towards the end of Luke chapter 8 when the woman who had hemorrhaged for 12 years came up behind Jesus and touched His cloak and her bleeding stopped. And Jesus had said to the woman, "Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace. " I also like the Amplified reading, "...Daughter, your faith (your confidence and trust in me) has made you well! Go into peace(untroubled, undisturbed well being).

The Word of God is Alive

Hebrews 4:12 For the Word of God is living and active and sharper than any two edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

Hebrews 4:16 Let us therefore draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and may find grace to help in time of need.

I had a very powerful prayer last week and was lead to these passages from Hebrews. I just meditate on these words over and over. "For the Word of God is living..." Just think about these few words. People all over the world for hundreds and thousands of years have believed in and been lead by these Holy Scriptures.

Psalms 116:1-2

I LOVE the Lord, for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy.
Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.

Jim

Jerry has requested that we pray for our brother Jim in Phoenix. He is going to prison. Please join the prayer: I pray dear heavenly Father that you will protect Jim and give him the strength and wisdom he needs to get through every moment he is incarcerated. I pray that Jim receives the Word of God, prays to you Lord, receives hope, support, and that he begins to walk in your righteous path dear Lord. I also pray that his family continues to love, support, and talk to Jim everyday. I also pray that his family looks to you Jesus for their needs. I pray these things in the name of Jesus Christ.

We love Jim and his family.

Viva la France

I was watching the Pope in France tonight. He was at Notre Dame tonight and tomorrow he goes to Lourdes. Lourdes has miraculous healing powers. Thousands of people go there everyday for the healing waters discovered by a young woman, Bernadette, in the 1850's. I only watched a few moments of the Pope and I was trying to take notes. I couldn't keep up though! He did mention this was the year of Saint Paul the Apostle and 1 Corinthians. I got so excited when he talked about how the Holy Spirit helps you understand the mysteries of God. The Pope also said to speak with boldness!!! I love it even more!!!

I Corinthians 2:12
Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things freely given to us by God.
