THIS IS A SPECIAL POSTING. PLEASE READ!

In addition to my daily message today, this is something very special I believe the Lord wants me to post right now!


Help Me Overcome My Unbelief!

As a Christian, I believe God loves me and wants the best for me. Certainly, in His Word (Psalm 103:3 NIV) the Psalmist wrote; Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits – who forgives all your (my) sins and heals all your (my) diseases, who redeems your (my) life from the pit…. I know this, really I do! Still, there are times when I don’t see God actually doing what I expect Him to do; to save me from my trouble; to provide me with what I want; and to provide the healing release I expect.

Before I became a Christian I really had a problem with faith, much less be able to cling to any promises God made to me; regardless of whether I was a Christian or not! Therefore, I understand how we can have moments of unbelief, or we can just flat out not trust what God has promised us. This is Satan at work, big time!  “Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men” Jesus said, in (Matthew 16:23 NIV).

I have several friends who I know are very ill now. These are friends I have known for quite a while; people whom I have known to be good, faithful, committed Christians; friends whom I have loved, and admired as fellow believers in Christ. But, I see them suffering today not only from their illnesses, but also their measure of unbelief in the benefits of our God; He, who loves us beyond all measure!

I have no explanation of when, where, or even if God will allow us to know of our healing. I too have problems at times with my own unbelief. Still, my faith is strong. I am reminded of the Scripture (Isaiah 55:8) where God declares; “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways.” 

God is God, and He owes us no explanation of what He does, or doesn’t do. This may sound trite; forgive me. I will make no excuses here. I just want to be a servant to Jesus, and do what I believe His Holy Spirit is prompting me to do right now. And, that is; encourage everyone who reads this message, that He (God) knows our pain, our fear. He understands our being tempted to disbelieve. He too was tempted by Satan in the wilderness (Matthew 4:1-4.) Don’t give in to Satan’s schemes! Don’t allow unbelief to rob you of God’s blessings for you.

(Mark 9:24) tells the story of a man from a crowd, who brought his son; who could not speak and who suffered from seizures, to Jesus to be healed. The man had exclaimed to Jesus; “I do believe; help me with my unbelief!” Shall we not also say to this awesome, merciful God; “O Lord, I do believe in your miraculous healing; please help me with my own unbelief!”

Dear friend; reader of this blog message, be strong in your faith. Don’t give up on our Lord; Jehovah Rapha (our healer.) Your healing is part of God’s plan. I believe He (is) healing you even now. Be blessed, by and in His Holy name.

Our Walk With God

“Listen, my son, accept what I say, and the years of your life will be many. I guide you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths. When you walk, your steps will not be hampered, when you run, you will not stumble” (Proverbs 4:10-12). Our lives are built upon our first step, and   then proceed step after step after step thereafter. As infants we learn to crawl, then stand and eventually to walk to the waiting hands of our proud fathers and mothers. Our walking skills can develop into running skills; some of us will go on to run races, some will even run long distance marathons, but it all begins first with our desire to walk. The Lord tells us to listen to what He says to us through His Holy Spirit and the years of our lives will be many; as we go through life, our steps will not be hampered; when we hurry through our impossible daily schedules and race through our lives, we will not stumble.   All successful runners have a professional trainer, our trainer is ...

God’s Family

He provides resources for the family “For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, and abundant in mercy to all those whom call upon You” (Psalm 86:5). God’s plan for marriage and the family, in the Bible, is intended to be ideal, full of prosperity for every member. Would you say this describes your family? Maybe, maybe not, however, even if your family has missed His mark His Word deals with life realistically. Many of us experience some aspect of failure or serious disappointment with the way our family is living. Many families today are divided by divorce or living as single-parent family units. God alone can provide the needed resources and the loving care vital for the needs of these families who are dealing with life. If you are having trouble in your family turn to Jesus. He is your primary resource for forgiveness and your hope for renewal (Ephesians 1:7).   He forgives no matter if the failure is yours or it is one of those times when someone else fails yo...

GLORIOUS!

"Shout with joy to God, all the earth! Sing the glory of His name; make His praise glorious" (Psalm 66:1,2)! Hallelujah! Praise to our King! See how glorious He is! He is our awesome God! He is our Healer, our Counselor, our Morning Star, our heavenly Father, our Savior and our Redeemer. He is our Lamb of God, He is our Maker, our Sacrifice, our Bridegroom, our Living Water, our Helper, He is our Blessing, our Bread of Life, our Sweet, Sweet Song, He is Abba Father...let us make His praise glorious! He is Yahweh-Jehovah, Jehovah-Elohim, Jehovah-Elyon, El Shaddai, Jehovah-Jireh, He is Jehovah-Tsidqenu, Jehovah- Shamah, and He is Jehovah-Tsebaoth...let us make His praise glorious! What's in a name, and why would we sing the glory of God's name(s)? Often a name provides an important clue to the nature of a person. This is definitely true of God. The Bible refers to God by many different names, each one referring to some aspect of God's character or His relation...
