Words Of Hope And Healing

This girl 

- young, 

- taken as captive, 

- forced to live and serve as a maid in a foreign country 

- (she was not in the best of circumstances...) 

had the audacity to speak in love and compassion, 

and her words brought hope and healing! 

Her words were even brought to kings!

---

"One day the girl said to her mistress, 

“I wish my master would go to see the prophet in Samaria. 

He would heal him of his leprosy.” 

So Naaman told the king what the young girl from Israel had said."

2 Kings 5:2-4 NLT

---

You may not be in the best of circumstances either,

but you are not UNDER your circumstances, you're OVER.

Know that you're loved - even when it doesn't look like it - 

and speak hope and healing - Jesus - to yourself and others. 

My Strike, Your Healing

What you must solemnly realize is that 

every time you eat this bread 

and every time you drink this cup, 

you reenact in your words and actions 

the death of the Master. 

You will be drawn back to this meal 

again and again until the Master returns. 

You must never let familiarity breed contempt.”

1 Corinthians 11:26 MSG

---

The Law says: 

An eye for an eye, 

a strike for a strike, 

a wound for a wound.

But Jesus says: 

My strike, your healing.

My wound, your wholeness. 

(from yesterday's sermon 

by pastor Prince)

Everything He Does Is Wonderful

“They were completely amazed and said again and again, 

“Everything he does is wonderful. 

He even makes the deaf to hear 

and gives speech to those who cannot speak.”

Mark 7:37 NLT

What I Do Have, I Give You

What I Do Have, I Give You

“Then Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.” - Acts 3:6 NKJV

You cannot give what you don't have. But what you have, you can give. 

What do you have? 

Or rather, WHO do you have? 

The Person of Jesus in us, supersedes what people think they need.

The lame man thought he needed and wanted money.

In the name of Jesus there is what money cannot buy.

Like healing, health, joy, forgiveness, a new life.

May we understand the value of Jesus in our lives, 

and be generous to minister to people in His name.

We Don't Know

We Don't Know

They talked it over among themselves. “IF WE SAY… He will ask… BUT IF WE SAY… we’ll be mobbed… SO THEY FINALLY REPLIED, “WE DON’T KNOW.” - Matt 21:24-27

When I read this I thought to myself: I don’t want to live life like that! I know I may have replied just like these leading priests and elders… because it felt safest to say “I don’t know.” But how imprisoning that is… always trying to say what I think others expect me to say… trying to have the “right” opinion… or not daring to take a stand for anything …

No, I want to live according to the Truth that is in my heart. I want to speak according to my convictions. From the inside out. We are blessed and we are a blessing. We may speak in His authority. His words in our mouths bring healing, clarity, liberty, peace, love... Amen

Like Sheep Without A Shepherd

Like Sheep Without A Shepherd

"Jesus TRAVELED through ALL the the towns and villages of that area, 

TEACHING in the synagogues and ANNOUNCING THE GOOD NEWS 

about the Kingdom. And He HEALED every kind of disease and illness.

When He SAW the crowds, He had COMPASSION on them because they 

were confused and helpless, like sheep without a Shepherd.” 

- Matt 9:35-36 NKJV

Oh, His heart for people! 

Oh, His heart for you and me - right now. 

Every ONE matters. 

He wants every ONE everywhere to hear and receive the good news about Himself.

He wants every ONE healed. 

He wants to shepherd - love, feed, guide, protect, heal - every ONE.
