Heal(ed)

    Jesus' death on the cross purchased so many things for us besides salvation. He provided everything we would need right there on that cross. One thing that we forget is that it has already been done and we do not need to plead with God to do anything more, we just need to receive the gift that has already been given. An area that I believe is a particular struggle for the Christian community is in our healing.

    Do we really believe that God has done what He said He has done? If so, we should believe that we already have access to healing through Jesus. There is no need to beg God to heal you or to ask if it is "His will." All you need to do is accept and believe what He has promised. If it was His will for you to suffer through sickness and disease, would he have healed those around Him during His ministry? Would He have taken a beating for YOUR sickness if He didn't want your healing? We have authority over the evil in the world, including sickness. Exercise the authority you have in Jesus' name and the power of His Holy Spirit to speak to your body and others' around you.

     Do you believe that you HAVE been healed today? Do you recognize that you do not have to walk in sickness and pain? It is not the Lord's will that you do! It is His will that you speak life over yourself and claim what He has already done for you. By His stripes you ARE healed. Believe it in faith-- the currency of Heaven-- and receive.

Isaiah 53:5 But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed. (ESV)
Psalm 103:2-4 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits, who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy (ESV)

James 5:15 And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. (ESV)
Matthew 10:1 And he called to him his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every affliction. (ESV)

Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the reality of what is hoped for, the proof of what is not seen. (HCSB)

Dancing Through the Fire

     For a couple weeks now the Lord has been pressing this message on my heart. He revealed a flaw in my thinking I hadn't noticed. You see, when hard times come it's in my nature to duck and cover. I go into "survival mode" and I get tunnel vision. I only focus on getting through what's in front of me alive. But in doing so, not only do I miss a lot of opportunities, but I give in to the voice of fear in my life.     I know I don't speak only for myself when I say that God wants to us in our "every day lives." Not only at church or on a special mission trip, but in the trenches of the grocery store, the gym, work, etc. It is His will that every soul is saved and He wants us to go out into the world and win those hearts for Him. But when I put myself in survival mode, I block out all the opportunities God lays before me. When I numb myself with the routine of each passing day, week, and month, I miss out on sharing the one thing of eternal importa...

How Firm a Foundation

Matthew 7:24-27 “Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock. Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house, it won’t collapse because it is built on bedrock. But anyone who hears my teaching and doesn’t obey it is foolish, like a person who builds a house on sand. When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house, it will collapse with a mighty crash.” Luke 6:46-49 “So why do you keep calling me ‘Lord, Lord!’ when you don’t do what I say? I will show you what it’s like when someone comes to me, listens to my teaching, and then follows it. It is like a person building a house who digs deep and lays the foundation on solid rock. When the floodwaters rise and break against that house, it stands firm because it is well built. But anyone who hears and doesn’t obey is like a person who builds a house without a foundation. When the floods sweep down against th...

The Path to Life

     Through this most recent season in life, God has been teaching me what it truly means to follow His plans for my life. Over the last year or so,  I have had to make some of the most ''adult" decisions in my life so far. Through that process, I have had to rely heavily on faith and the leading of the Holy Spirit to discern which is the right way to go. It has been a challenge for me, a planner to the core, to put my trust fully in God's plans and leading even when I am unable to see what's ahead and I am glad to say I have come out having learned a few things.      The main takeaway I would like to share is this: the right way is not the easiest way . That probably sounds very obvious if you have spent any time in church, but I never thought about that principle carrying over into walking out God's plans for my life. You see, there have been decisions that I have made over the last year that I was certain were what God was leading me to do. An...
