"And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven. Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective." James 5:15-16
This is the day that the Lord has made so let us rejoice in it and be thankful. Let us be thankful for all of the small blessing that we tend to overlook in order to complain about minor issues. Let us concentrate on the Love of God instead of the Hate of our enemies. Let us rejoice in this day at this time instead of regretting mistakes that happened so long ago. We will make our way to a new day, and we shall be a blessed people as long as we let go of the past and keep our eyes on God.
Good day to you all! I want you to look back on this year and highlight in your mind all of the times that you were blessed when you were not expecting to be blessed. When you think about those things you can tell that God is working in your life. Be confident that going forward He is going to be with you as He always has.
We fall down, but we get up. There are so many things that happen to us in this life, some good, and some bad. The bad things that happen to us seem to leave a scar on our spirit. Everything could be perfectly fine, and then suddenly something reminds us that we are scarred. Something puts brings us back to where we think about the bad situation, and how it happened. Imagine if we were able to see the good that God was doing in all things. Then the bad things that happen to us would not seem very bad at all.
Dear Reader do you have any idea how much farther along our spiritual walk we would be if we would keep looking forward instead of always turning back? How much farther we could walk if we would just heal properly. When a runner falls and breaks his leg he or she must go to a doctor in order for the bone to set properly. If the runner does not go to the doctor the leg will not heal properly and if he or she ever tried to run again, they would not be able to run the way that they ran before. I know that sometimes it seems easier just to try a home remedy, or to try to heal yourself, however I would not recommend that you do that. When we fall and break our spiritual legs, I want to recommend that we go to see the one true doctor who has all healing power in His hands. I tell you His name is Jesus. He is a healer and His patient load is never too much. He is good with Emergency visits and He is able to set that broken bone. Dear Reader we have a long race to run in this life so in order for us to make it together we must heal. I am praying not just for you to make it through, I am praying that you make it though and that you are healed. BE HEALED. I want you to let go of those things that would keep you from seeing yourself as anything but a conqueror. BE HEALED. I want you to give your broken heart to God so that you can love again. BE HEALED. I want you to break loose from the people that would have you stay back with them instead of moving forward with God. I know that there may be some rope burn from when you break loose, but I promise you will BE HEALED. God is waiting for you to come to Him so that you can be healed and finish the race on two anointed legs. You will make history if you follow the example in His story; let Jesus be your example, teacher, and healer, and you will be blessed.
You are beautiful, loved, and blessed
John Reed
