I am so sorry folks for the late entry of today's blog message. I got up very early this morning with a full day's worth of priorities and just forgot to post last night's message. Again, I am so sorry to mess with your schedules and readership. I hope you will forgive me? Here is my intended message for today; Tuesday, March 10, 2012.
What Can I Believe
We can
believe that Jesus Christ is Lord. We
can believe He came to earth to save us; save us from all sin and eternal
death. These should be our foremost beliefs. But, you may be saying; “I know,
but what can I believe regarding His healing of my disease?” Jesus died not
only for our sins, but also for our infirmities. The Bible tells us so; (Psalm
103:2, 3) “…Forget not all His benefits:
who forgives all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases.” So then you
say; “I know all that! What I want to know is; am I going to be healed of my
diabetes, or my cancer?” or whatever else might be troubling you. We can’t know
the mind of God. I know this sounds like an escape clause or an excuse for not
answering your very serious concern specifically, but it isn’t intended to be.
You understand we cannot know the will of God -- He alone determines our coming
and our going; our rising up and our sitting down.
What we can
understand and believe is; He is our
God! We can believe He loves you without measure! I know that He does! He is
aware of everything about you, how you feel, and what are your fears, and what
is hurting you now. God doesn’t promise us life without difficulties; we will
have difficulties. There are many other forces at work in our world. Satan
would have us believe we have no hope and that God has left us alone. Satan is
a liar! I cast out this evil thinking in your life right now, in the mighty
name of Jesus! You can believe and pray He will be with you in all your
tribulations, helping you to survive this imperfect world. Our God is a God of
miracles! He can heal us instantaneously or He may perfect our healing over a
longer period of time. We must trust
Him, having all faith that He is in control of our welfare.
In (Jeremiah
29:11); which is one of my most favorite Scriptures, we read what our Lord has
said; “For I know the thoughts I think
toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a
future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will
listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you seek me with all of
your heart.” This is so very true! And, I do believe what He says here with
all my heart! I am convinced that the
fulfillment of our wellness is centered in our faith in Jesus Christ! Just
calling out His precious name, JESUS, aloud has tremendous power!
Yes, continue to follow your doctor’s
instructions! Yes, continue to take your doctor’s recommended medications for
the wellness plan he or she has set for you. But, “forget not all His (God’s)
benefits: who forgives all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases!”
Your faith in Jesus, your trust in Him, and your prayers to Him WILL
work miracles for you!
