ALL SCRIPTURE GOD BREATHED.

In both the first and second Timothy, Paul reinforces, clarifies, and amplifies the charge he has given Timothy verbally.

See Tim 1:4.

Note how many times the word “charge” is used by Paul to Timothy.

A CHARGE … Don’t teach any other Doctrine but teach what is True Doctrine.

A CHARGE … To have a good conscience and a pure heart.

A CHARGE … To fight a good warfare.

A CHARGE … To  teach willingly.

A CHARGE … To live a blameless life.

A CHARGE … To those ho are rich in this world’s goods.

These charges are before God, Jesus Christ, and the “Angels.” (A word that is also used to mean “Ministers of churches.”)

What is this charge?

It means to … Guard something that Paul has committed to him in the sight of the Lord Jesus. A “Deposit”,  which is the Gospel of our Lord Jesus. 1Timothy 11,19. This is the Christian Faith. The truth is in Christ Jesus.

Paul had fought the “good fight” and kept “the faith.” He had “finished the course” which God laid down for him.

But what of the future?

He is solemnly giving to Timothy the responsibility to guard the priceless, vital Gospel to preserve it, protect it and continue to proclaim it.

We have also been charged with guarding and depositing this Gospel into the lives of people we can trust so they will teach others.

Another term Paul uses for the Gospel.

That is term called,     “THE FAITH” which is … “Christian Truth.” that must be guarded.

For in the Latter times, some people will depart from the faith. So we must    “Be Bold in the faith.”

Be “Nourished by the faith.”

Look after our family so that they will not… “Deny the Faith.”

Not to follow after money that will cause many to…      “Err from the Faith.”

( Make a mistake or do something wrong.)

He warns that we as well as dear Timothy are not to allow Science to take the place of our faith.

This has already happened in our schools and Universities today. Science has replaced faith.

Sin is not sin but human error. A mistake that doesn’t need repentance.

Saying that the Blood of Jesus is a “Slaughter House religion.”

So we keep our minds pure so that true faith in our Lord Jesus Christ may not be corrupted. We are to be wise unto Salvation and keep the Faith.

DOCTRINE.

We learn a great deal in this epistle about… Teaching, Teachers, and Doctrine.

Teaching and Doctrine in the Greek is the same word for “Deposit.” So we must guard this Deposit with our very own lives by keeping it Pure and Sound.

We are to “Live” the Doctrine and don’t allow it to be blasphemed. Stay close to the Truth of the Gospel and follow it.

That is why Paul is encouraging Timothy to gather around him people who were, “APT TO TEACH.”

They were to be men above reproach, Elders who would rule well at home and those whom they would teach.

They must choose Faithful people because when the Word of God is taught properly, it prospers both in the life of the teacher and the receiver.

We must teach        “The Word,” which is totally Inspired by God and is profitable for teaching and correction. So, as Timothy, we must be … Instant in and out of season, reprove, rebuke, and exhort with all patience and teaching.

The time has come when men teach “another doctrine.” They have become vain talkers and given place to evil spirits that have seduced them away from the Truth to fulfil their worldly lusts.

We are bombarded with a watered-down Gospel.

Look at the worldliness in our churches today.

They accept homosexual Pastors. Immorality, where people are “Partners” but not married.

They believe a fake gospel of  “Works”

Where the Pastor’s authority is over- ruled by the Deacons.

Where legalism takes the place of Love and Grace.

Many Churches have become lucrative businesses, teaching that riches are more important than helping the poor and widows. 

Then, there is a total acceptance of the ungodly practice of Abortion. God forbid!

They teach, “Another Gospel.” And many are deceived thereby.

GODLINESS.

True Godliness happens after salvation. It is the Practical side of our Christian lives. Here are two encouraging verses to help us to godly lives in Christ Jesus.

“BODILY EXERCISE PROFITS FOR A LITTLE TIME, BUT GODLINESS PROFITS FOR ETERNITY.”

I Tim 3:16.

(Paraphrased.)

Think about this next time you work out in the Gym: “Is the Gym more important than my spiritual health?”

“GODLINESS WITH CONTENTMENT IS GREAT GAIN.”

Chapter 5:6.

We must not have a “mere form” of Godliness as it will deny real Godliness, which has the Power to change lives.

Sadly Paul laments that some Christians have “turned aside” and made shipwreck of their own lives.

Some people have “Turned to Satan” and have been led astray, causing them to “Miss the Mark” of their high calling in Christ Jesus.

There is a “breakdown” in our Churches, which causes a  “breakaway” from the pure Word of God.

These last days we live in are grievous times, so precious Christian, please,

“GUARD YOUR HEART  WITH ALL DILIGENCE.

FOR OUT OF IT, FLOWS ALL THE ISSUES OF LIFE.”

Proverbs 4:13

Hold fast to the Doctrine, the Charge, the Faith, the  godliness mentioned in this book of Timothy so you may say, with the great Apostle Paul…. 

“I HAVE FOUGHT THE GOOD FIGHT.”             

“I HAVE RUN THE RACE,”

“I’VE KEPT THE CHARGE.”

“I’VE KEPT THE FAITH.”

“I HAVE FINISHED THE COURSE AND WITH JOY, I WILL MEET MY LORD AND SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST.”

Come soon Lord Jesus!!

Amen.

I sincerely pray that you will remain faithful until His Glorious Coming again. Then, you will receive the “Crown of Life” laid up for you.

The first book of Timothy presents the most explicit and complete instructions for leaders of God’s Church in its organisation and life.

This includes Sections on appropriate conduct in Church gatherings.

The qualifications of Elder and Deacons.

The proper order of Church discipline.

HOW PAUL MET TIMOTHY.

Paul visited Lystra, where he met Timothy’s mother and grandmother, who diligently taught him the ways of the Lord.

2nd Timothy 1:5.    Acts 16:1-3.

Paul was impressed with the life of Timothy. He was passionate and totally devoted to Jesus.

How passionate are you about your life in Christ and in the Church?

Many Christians are only interested in the church to take from its programmes that which is comfortable and do not include a real commitment to the cause of Christ, such as in Youth work, Outreach and Hospital visitation, Helping the Poor and other things that maintain a healthy functioning environment in the Church.

What your Church believes and how they behave will be the good news of Jesus Christ to your community.

We all, as ambassadors of Christ, must live a life of integrity and obedience to the Scriptures. Your witness of genuine love, faith, and friendship will draw people into your Church, where they will respond to the Gospel of Salvation.

They will see your genuine faith despite your suffering. Allow them to recognize that Jesus is Lord and King of your life and how you are living the life of Christ in front of those whose lives are broken and lost in sin.

1Timothy 1:6.

It is not always  smooth sailing, people will judge and condemn your efforts. They will be used by Satan to cause you to fear and hinder your work for God. Paul encourages Timothy that,

“GOD HAS NOT GIVEN US US A SPIRIT OF FEAR, BUT OF POWER, LOVE AND A SOUND MIND.”

2 Timothy1:7

So, please don’t give up when the seas get rough, and you almost sink into the ocean of despair.  Look to Jesus, who will help you walk on water and finish the work to which He has called you.

There are more things that He wants to teach you as you walk by faith and not by sight…

You will learn:

FAITHFULNESS AND LOYALTY.

Phil 2:22. Speaking of Timothy… “You already know about his excellent reputation since he has served alongside me as a loyal son in the  work of the ministry.”

DILIGENCE OF STUDYING GOD’S WORD.

2 Timothy 2:15.                           

“Always be eager to present yourself before God as a perfect and mature minister, without shame, as one who correctly explains the Word of Truth.”

BE A GOOD HUMBLE SERVANT OF THE LORD.

1Timothy 4:12.

“Timothy, don’t be intimidated by those more mature than you; be an example they need to see by being faithful and true to all you do. Speak the truth, live a life of purity and authentic love as you remain strong in your faith.”

PERSEVERE WHEN FACED WITH TROUBLE.

2 Timothy 3:14.

“You must continue to advance in strength with the truth wrapped around your heart, being assured by God that He is the One who has truly taught you all these things.’

Dear reader don’t argue with people over doctrines of the Bible. The Word of God is too Holy to be argued about. You may be able to win the argument, but… YOU LOSE THE PERSON!!

MENTORSHIP AND DISCIPLESHIP.

2 Tim 2:2.

“All that you have learned from me, confirmed by my life’s integrity, pass on to faithful leaders competent to teach the congregation the same revelation.“

Follow Paul’s example.

PURSUE RIGHTEOUSNESS, GODLINESS, FAITH, LOVE AND ENDURANCE.

1 Tim 1:11. “I have been commissioned to preach the wonderful news of the glory of the exalted God.”

These are just a few of the lessons that we can learn from Timothy’s example.

Allow the Holy Spirit to  teach you these truths in this book of Timothy.

Read it again, take notes and memorize those verses that apply to you. (even if it takes weeks to learn them.)

They are life-changing and challenging but you must persevere.

If you are diligent about obeying them, you will be most effective in your home, work, Church, and the Kingdom of God.

Bless you.

Amen.

JESUS’S RETURN.

THE VICTORY OF JESUS CHRIST’S RETURN.

This book of the second Thessalonians was written around AD 51-52. It builds up on the themes of the  first letter, emphasising the return of the Lord Jesus Christ and the need to remain faithful during periods of persecution and uncertainty.

The letter also addresses the issue of idleness and false teaching within the community.

THE KEY THEMES.

The second coming of Christ.

Paul reminds them that His coming is imminent.

(very close)

False teaching was circulating the Church using the name of Paul, declaring that Jesus had already returned and God’s wrath would come upon them. This was false teaching, and many people were being deceived, causing them to react in a negative way. 

They refused to work to earn a living and ceased their involvement in the ministry of the Lord. They sat back and expected other people to fulfil their responsibilities.

Does this not happen today in churches of all denominations?

Today many people are only interested in enjoying fellowship, social activities and the pleasures that the Church offers. They view the Church as a “glorified club” to enjoy themselves.

The Church is a place of responsibility where you can selflessly serve others and use your time and talents to fulfill the true mission of the Church by:

Outreach into the community.                   

Serving one another.  

Maintenance.                

Teaching.

Leading or participating in the music ministry.             

Preaching.

Small group Bible studies.

Sharing in the Lord’s supper.

Prayer meetings!!!

Sadly, Prayer meetings are the least attended meetings in the Church. Most churches have an average of 3% of their congregation attend the weekly prayer meeting.

Oh dear believer, the prayer meetings are the POWER-HOUSE of the Church. The Church is as strong as it’s prayer meeting.

Prayerlessness will hinder the work of God in the Church.

Here is where we believe in the impossible! Where we pray in faith for the lost, the sick, the backsliding soul.

We cover Pastors, Leaders, and Missionaries. It’s where we praise God and Worship Him for answers to prayer. 🙏

Genuinely, don’t neglect this integral part of the Church. You will mature in your faith as you experience mighty answers to prayer.

Do not think in your mind, “Jesus will return very soon, so why must I be involved?” Jesus Himself said, “Occupy till I come.”

Not only had these people neglected their work in the Church, but they had stopped working at all to provide for themselves. Their reason was the soon return of Jesus.

Chapter 3: 1-15.

This idleness opened the way to a disorded life where they were meddling in the lives of others.

See verse 11.

Paul reminds them that a faithful follower of Jesus Christ would imitate Him. He was an example of proper diligence in everything He did. He worked out of the motive of Love.

This attitude is very prevalent in today’s society. People refuse to work and live off the Government. They live in one house and share the rent and spend their money on drugs and alcohol, living it up.They are unruly people!

They are clouds without water drifting along into a waisted life.

Paul himself was a wonderful example of an honest diligent worker. He refused financial support in order not to become a burden to others financially.  He actually urged the people not to associate with those who were living idle, disruptive lives fostering a sense of community and an accountability.

HE COULD FREELY SAY, “DO AS I DO.”

“COPY ME, AS I COPY CHRIST.”

Here in Chapter 2:7-9. He writes:                      

“For you yourselves know how you ought to follow us for we were not disorderly among you; nor do we eat anyone’s bread free of charge, but work hard with toil and labour and toil night and day, that we might not be a burden to anyone of you. Not because, we do not have authority but to make ourselves an example of how you should be.”

HAD JESUS ALREADY COME?

They were being misled to believe that God’s final day of judgement had already come, bringing an end to all things. They concluded He had abandoned them in their suffering and would not deliver them from wicked rulers.

This was not the truth as Jesus Christ will return and will confront the Antichrist and deliver His people from oppression. Paul reminds them that He will strengthen them to stay devoted to Jesus.

This message is for us as well as the believers of his day.

We must remain faithful, confident and fearless as we wait or his return.

Your faithful living will result in glory being ascribed to Jesus.You are the first fruits of Salvation.

SOME THINGS ARE YET TO HAPPEN.

Look at this verse…

Do not let anyone deceive you in anyway. For the day of the Lord will not come until the “final rebellion” takes place and the “Wicked One“appears”

( Antichrist, Beast) WHO IS DESTINED FOR HELL!

Beloved Believer, Your life is in His hands.

The Great “Catching Away”_ (RAPTURE) will proceed God’s day of wrath that will come upon this earth known as..

🌎 (The Great Tribulation)

So the Lawless One, none other than the Antichrist will appear after the Rapture of the Church ( His body) and set Himself up as the World ruler of peace only for a short period of time of three an a half years. Then he reveals who he really is. None other than Lucifer.

Then the final end of all things comes when Jesus returns with His Saints and sets up His Glorious Kingdom on Earth.

There are so many more details to this event, but to suffice, Paul is encouraging you and me to live godly lives, putting aside all fleshly desires and living a God-honouring industrial life for His sake and His Glory.

The best and most important thing you can do at this moment is to be assured of “your Salvation in Christ.”

You must be ready when He comes. Make Him your Lord a Saviour today, right now!

A prayer you need to pray. 🙏

“Lord Jesus, I am a sinner and have been trusting in my own strength to save my soul. I see that this has not worked as I cannot change myself by being religious or being a good person. I now believe that you died for my sin and took my place on that cruel cross of shame. Please forgive me and save my soul. Live in me, change me into the person you desire me to be. Thankyou.”

Amen

SEE YOU IN THE AIR!!!

THE KINGSHIP OF JESUS.

“JESUS IS KING.”

First Thessalonians was penned by the  Apostle Paul, who founded this faithful Church in Thessalonica.

It was one of his earliest letters he wrote of all his Epistles.

Please look at the Book of Acts chapter 17 to understand its background.

Paul and his co-worker Silas came to this Greek city to share the Good News of salvation through Jesus Christ. A large number of Jews and Greeks gave their lives to Jesus, forming their own Church in that city.

But trouble was brewing in that area due to Paul’s teaching of the Resurrection of Jesus.

Paul freely taught that Jesus is…

“THE TRUE KING.”

The locals accused the believers of defying Caesar, the Roman Emperor, by saying that there was another King.

“King Jesus.” 

See Acts 17:7.

This led to great hostility and persecution to the point that Paul and Silas had to escape for their lives from Thessalonica. This caused both He and those of the Church much heartache as they dearly loved one another.

So Paul wrote this letter to reconnect with them.

Paul was so thrilled to hear from Timothy that the Church was actually thriving as a Church under such tragic circumstances.

They were doing well and flourishing,  and not floundering under such intense persecution. Paul was so pleased that they remained so faithful.

What would the church of today do in the face of severe persecution?  Would they fizzle or thrive?

Many Christians are facing great persecution at this very moment. They are martyred, they are deprived of employment, houses, land, and reputation and are… Imprisoned, wounded, starving, and awaiting their final sentence of death.

In Australia it has not yet come to this, but it is definitely on it’s way. There are more and more restrictions placed upon us by the ungodly rulers of today.

You may be facing persecution in your home, marriage, or workplace from those you love due to your faith in Christ. 

It hurts you emotionally and mentally, causing you much distress and can damage your health.                        You may not suffer martyrdom, yet you feel unwanted, unloved, and rejected.

Jesus said,

“CHEER UP! I HAVE OVERCOME THE WORLD.”

(You will win in the end.)

---

He said,

“BLESSED ARE YOU!” WHEN PEOPLE SAY ALL MANNER OF THINGS AGAINST YOU ON MY ACCOUNT.”

“GREAT IS YOUR REWARD IN HEAVEN.”

Knowing this, remember that you are not alone. He is with you at all times, never to leave you or forsake you, He will uphold you in the most difficult circumstances.

Jesus has heard your prayers, seen your tears, and knows your heart.❤️It will happen in His time and in His way.

He is the Author and Finisher of your faith.

So dear friend, cheer up, be strong and resolved in your walk with the Lord; your labour is never in vain in the Lord.

1 Corinthians 15: 58.

This first letter to the Church of Thessalonica has two main movements.

1. THE CELEBRATION OF THEIR FAITHFULNESS.

See Chapter 1:1-3.

2. A CHALLENGE NOT TO GIVE UP TO KEEP GROWING AS DEAR FOLLOWERS OF JESUS.

Chapter 1:4-6.

These two sections were surrounded by these prayers…

A PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING.

Paul prays that the Lord would impart His Grace and Peace rest upon those who are faithful and patient in their difficulties. There is a special anointing that comes from the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ by the Holy Spirit to strengthen those who are persecuted.

A PRAYER OF DIRECTION AND AN ABUNDANCE OF LOVE TOWARD ALL MEN.

He prays that God will establish His Holiness into their lives until Jesus returns.

A PRAYER OF ENCOURAGEMENT.    

God will perfect them and present them “blameless” in Body, Soul, and Spirit before His presence in Glory at the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. (Faultless,) (undefiled.)

Notice here that the Lord is interested in your character while under pressure. He is looking for Christians who will forgive and love those who say all manner of evil against them. He wants and looks for spiritually mature Christians to represent Christ in this evil world.

He is faithful, despite how you may fail or make mistakes and lose it. Look at this tremendous promise from One Thessalonians chapter 5: 23,24.

“AND THE VERY GOD OF PEACE MAKE YOU HOLY. AND I PRAY THAT YOUR WHOLE SPIRIT, (God conscious),

SOUL (Your mind, emotions and will, (self-conscious)

AND BODY. (World conscious)

BE PRESERVED BLAMELESS UNTO THE COMING OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.”

Oh, rejoice with me that this is His work in us.

“FAITHFUL IS “HE” THAT HAS CALLED YOU, WHO WILL ALSO “DO IT.”

You will stand before Him without, spot or wrinkle, (that will be good!) meaning without anything that defiles.

Let’s hang on to that amazing promise and cease from condemning yourself any longer. You have been made worthy through the Finished Work of Christ, to stand before Him with your head held high all because of Calvary.

Amen.

THE FULLNESS OF CHRIST.

The book of Colossians is a priceless little document.

The dominant theme is the fullness we enjoy in Christ and how complete we are in Him.                          See chapter 1:9. Christ is the fullness of God to us, so we can walk worthily in Him.

DOCTRINALLY: “THAT YOU MAY BE FILLED.“

Jesus is the fullness of God in creation, in redemption, in the church and verses heresy.

PRACTICALLY:

“THAT WE WILL WALK WORTHILY.”

We walk worthily as as individuals: As we respond to others in our relationships: In our employment obligations. Living the New Life before those who do not yet believe.

In the first chapter we soon learn that JESUS IS THE REAL CHRIST.

The visible form of the Invisible God.

The Prior-Heir of all Creation.

In Him the Universe was created.

He “IS“ before all Creation.

In Him the Universe is held together.

He is the Head of all Creation.

He is the firstborn from among the dead.

Jesus Christ has all sovereignty over the whole universe because all things were “made by Him,” that is, Thrones, Angelic Lords, Celestial Powers, and Rulers. Verse 16.

HE IS GOD.

“ALL THE FULLNESS OF GOD DWELLS IN HIM BODILY”

(He was pleased to dwell.)

THIS WONDERFUL CHRIST IS THE “REAL CHRIST.”

“CHRIST “IN YOU,”THE HOPE OF GLORY”

Look at the amazing Salvation that is ours through this incomparable One. The “SON OF HIS LOVE”

In our… INHERITANCE.

You  are a partaker of the inheritance of, 

“LIGHT”

In our…

DELIVERANCE.

from the Power of “DARKNESS”                 

In our …

TRANSLATION.

You are translated (moved from one place to another) into the Kingdom of the “SON OF HIS LOVE.”

In our. 

REDEMPTION.

You are set free from sin through “HIS PRECIOUS BLOOD.”

In our…

FORGIVENESS.        

You are fully forgiven for every sin ever committed!!

In our…

RECONCILIATION.

You have been restored from a once broken relationship due to sin.

“NOW YOU ARE HIS, AND HE IS YOURS FOREVER.“

In our…

TRANSFIGURATION.

Now, in His sight you are “HOLY AND UNBLAMEABLE“.  (Faultless!)

Oh WOW! 😲

This is your FULL, DIVINE, ETERNAL SALVATION. Never wander away from this wonderful Salvation to vain Philosophers who never come to the knowledge of this TRUTH.

Amen.

I pray that you now have a clearer understanding of your position in Christ. Now Worship Him and recommend Him to everyone you meet?

May the Lord Jesus Christ Bless you with Heavenly Blessings in Christ Jesus.

GNOSTICISM.

THE ERROR OF GNOSTICISM.

Usually, my Mini Bible studies are more practical and devotional coupled with evangelism and encouragement.

However, in this letter of Paul to the church at Colossi, the first three chapters are Theological, addressing the erroneous doctrine of Gnosticism.

So today, we will examine this view, which permeated the Colossian Church and still exists today, particularly in the Masonic Church and the Scientology religion.

This belief was influencing new believers away from the simplicity of Salvation by Grace alone by adding special knowledge by Philosophers of that time. Instead of believing that Salvation in Christ was the only way to God, they concentrated on “the origin of evil.”

They believed in one supreme God, who is the God of light and life, but the story of Creation found in the Bible was a lie. God was “not” the one who was responsible for creating the world because the world 🌎 was full of evil and corruption, making it impossible for a “Good God” to create it! So they invented another creator—an evil creator who created a flawed world. Already, we see error, as scripture tells us.

“THE LORD SPOKE AND THE WORLDS WERE FRAMED.”

Yes, He spoke,

“LET THERE BE.”

Light, darkness, oceans, animals and people. And it was so!

But??

The Gnostic belief explained why mankind suffered so much evil. They taught that man had a spark within himself to recognise evil, but that spark was extinguished by evil. To reignite this spark, man must bring it to life again by his own Will and  Strength.

To the Gnostic, Jesus is the Messenger of light… but “not” Salvation. Men would have to save themselves by sacrifices of the flesh to make themselves worthy to be saved.

(Martin Luther, the Priest and theologian of the 16th Century, was a good example of this influence. He believed that the body needed to be purified from all its evil passions before it would be acceptable to receive Salvation.

This included much fasting and self-flagellation (flogging oneself as a religious discipline.) Instead of realising that Christ took our punishment, Luther punished himself, not only physically but emotionally and mentally to obtain Salvation.

Later, after studying the book of  Romans,  he discovered that Salvation was by Grace alone.

He changed the course of Christianity forever.

Gonosicism taught that secular work was not as important as being a missionary, an evangelist, a Pastor, or a Priest. This is not true because…

“IF ANY MAN IS IN CHRIST, HE IS A NEW CREATION; OLD THINGS ARE PASSED AWAY, AND BEHOLD, ALL THINGS HAVE BECOME NEW.” (The total person.)

The new believers in Paul’s Church were literally beating themselves into submission to the point of not allowing themselves any enjoyment of bodily pleasures.

Legalistic doctrines alive in some Churches today have their roots in Gnosticism. People are bound by men’s interpretation of what is good or right instead of experiencing the freedom that is ours in Christ.        

But the Spirit, Soul and Body are of equal importance to God.    God is interested in your total being, not just a part of you. Praise  God, we are given an incorruptible body when Jesus returns.

So, as Paul beseeches us,

“WHATEVER YOU EAT OR DRINK, OR WHATEVER YOU DO, DO ALL TO THE GLORY OF GOD.”(Including daily living.)

If you would take the time to read this again, slowly and meditate upon what it truly means to be free indeed from the law and enjoy your happy condition in Christ, you may find that you too have been caught up in Gnosticism, thereby condemning yourself and others for not living up to these legalistic standards and the wrong expectations of men.

Maybe you will not so quickly wipe people out of your life because they may not believe as you do and allow God to reveal His Love and Truth to them in His way and time.

HIS COMPASSIONS THEY FAIL NOT…

EVEN IF YOU ARE UNFAITHFUL… HE REMAINS FAITHFUL.

Now relax and grasp the truth that ALL THE FULLNESS OF GOD DWELLS IN YOU AND YOU ARE COMPLETELY COMPLETE IN HIM!

I Corinthians 2:9,10.

To sum it up, we need to know the difference between this erroneous teaching which is indeed very cruel and confusing and certainly will not earn Salvation.

This is highly negative thinking and impossible to attain.

Why?

Because Salvation is a FREE GIFT.

Ephesians 2:8,9

“FOR BY GRACE YOU ARE SAVED, NOT OF YOURSELVES, NOT BY WORKS LEST ANY MAN SHOULD BOAST.  IT IS THE … “FREE GIFT” OF GOD, THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD.”

Even a little child can be saved.

The positive side of asceticism can actually lead on from  salvation.

Where Paul teaches that we offer our own bodies as a living sacrifice Holy and Acceptable unto God as a reasonable thing to do.

This happens as we allow the Holy Spirit to gently convince us to let go of sinful habits such as the lust of the flesh and the pride of life.

We crucify ourselves in many ways, and by His resurrection power, we exhibit the “Fruit of the Spirit: ” love, Joy, Peace, etc.

This is the “WORKING OUT OF SALVATION.” and “not earning it.”  Allow me to share a song I wrote many years ago:

DIE TO SELF.

“Lord, I die to self each Day, Lord I walk the narrow way. Lord I want You first in all I do and say and take my cross and follow You.

Lord, I yield my selfish Will, to have and hold and with your Spirit fill.                          

Lord I want You first in all I do and say, and take my cross and follow you.

Then I’ll walk in resurrection power and know Your Joy and Peace that hour. Then you’ll live your life afresh in me. Jesus Christ, the path to victory.”

“LORD, I LOVE 💕 YOU”

Avoid getting caught up in fads that are prevalent in today’s thinking, such as… Food, sleep, the way you dress and all manner of hardships and renunciations that make your life miserable (and those around you).)

Instead, look at the heart view of true Asceticism, which is found in Paul’s letters. It’s not depriving yourself of tea and coffee, food and water.

It is to bear the nine fold fruit 🍓 of the Spirit as mentioned before.                                    LOVE,

JOY,

PEACE,

PATIENCE,

KINDNESS, 

GOODNESS,

GENTLENESS and

SELF CONTROL.

That’s what it’s all about: It is harder to be loving, joyful, patient kind and generous, than to fast and skip meals to make yourself in right standing with God or feel closer to Him.

Fasting is not wrong in itself, but you need to be led by the Spirit on how to fast and when to abstain from food.

Jesus said,

“COME UNTO ME, AND LEARN FROM ME, FOR I AM MEEK AND LOWLY OF ❤️ HEART.”

Seek to be like Him and to do the Father’s will in honest humility, then you will feel at rest in your soul, no longer striving for acceptance or validation. Be willing to withhold from the lusts of the flesh as He reveals them to you and walk in the Spirit then you will be more effective in the …               KINGDOM OF GOD.

Amen.

JOY!!!

“THE JOY OF THE LORD IS  YOUR STRENGTH.”

Joy is a profound, enduring sense of happiness and contentment rooted in spiritual realities and faith in God rather than fleeting happiness based on circumstances.

Yes, it is a fruit of the Holy Spirit often associated with God’s presence and His loving favour upon you and can be experienced even amid unexpected trials and tribulations.

REAL JOY IS ROOTED IN FAITH.                     

Faith gives you meaning and a sense of belonging, purpose and absolute trust in God. Joy stems from trusting in God’s promises and feeling His presence rather than relying on things that happen to you.

GALATIANS 5:22. “BUT THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT IS… LOVE, “JOY”, PEACE, etc..

Unlike fleeting happiness, real joy is enduring and can be experienced even in the middle of grief, pain and suffering and hard knocks.

Joy coupled with Faith anticipates that, according to Romans 8:28,29, that…                          “All things will work together for good for those who love God and are called according to His purposes and Divine plan.”

Look at Romans 15:13. This verse is soo.. precious .💞

“MAY THE GOD OF HOPE FILL YOU WITH ‘ALL JOY’ AND PEACE IN BELIEVING AS YOU TRUST IN HIM, SO THAT YOU… MAY OVERFLOW WITH HOPE BY THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.”

Doesn’t that excite you? It does me!

THE FIRST STEP TO EXPERIENCING JOY.

The first step toward eternal joy is your Salvation.

It’s a “Jesus Joy!” Because everyone who knows Jesus as Lord and Saviour has joy in their hearts 🥰 because … they were once headed for eternal damnation (destruction). However since they believed and accepted Jesus’  sacrifice for us He translated them into His Kingdom out of darkness and sealed them with the Holy Spirit for Eternal life.

Colossians 1:3-5. (Please read for your own pleasure.) I don’t know about you, but I feel joy in my soul because I know I am…

“Saved and Secure,” and there are wonderful things ahead of me not only on this earth 🌎 but in Heaven!

THIS IS THE JOY OF OUR SALVATION. 

Think about it!!!

You are forgiven and set  free!                         

You are no longer condemned!                   

There is no fear of death!                    

There’s no more guilt and shame!

You are totally whole with  no more sickness and disease!

We will understand the purpose of all our suffering here on this earth!

Romans. 5:1,2.

THEREFORE, BEING JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, WE HAVE PEACE WITH GOD THROUGH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, IN WHOM WE “REJOICE” IN THE HOPE OF THE GLORY OF GOD.”

Amen!

You are overjoyed while you wait for that eternal bliss to come in all its fullness, and your heart is ecstatic in believing that if it is not so yet, it will be so.

AN ATTITUDE OF CONTINUOUS JOY IS HEALING TO YOUR BODY AND SOUL.

Proverbs 17:22 tells us some wonderful things about Joy.

“A JOYOUS 💜 HEART IS GOOD MEDICINE, BUT A CRUSHED SPIRIT DRIES UP THE BONES.” (Some causes of Arthritis)

Praise God that the joy that Christ gives us can heal our bodies. You can’t just sit there and wait for joy to flood your soul. It is an act of the will. You choose to rejoice…it involves faith.

I “WILL” JOY IN THE GOD OF MY SALVATION.”

It is impossible to have joy and a troubled mind simultaneously. (at the same time)

Knowing that you are saved will give you a calm mind and a joyful life. Because it is independent of adverse circumstances.      You may be in the most troubling circumstances and still possess Joy.        

When my husband suddenly died, though it was difficult, I still possessed the hope that I would soon see him again. (As there’s no time in Heaven!)

I could laugh and cry at the same time! I never lost my wacky sense of humour!

Wherever joy abounds you will know, the…

“PEACE OF GOD THAT SURPASSES ALL UNDERSTANDING” Gal 5:22

As a believer you already possess this joy, but like any other inheritance you have in Christ you must stir it up and practice it.

If you’re not conscious of it you will soon fall into despair, self pity and depression.

Sing about it! 

“I HAVE JOY, JOY, JOY, DOWN IN MY HEART.

DOWN IN MY HEART, DOWN IN MY HEART,

I HAVE JOY, JOY, JOY, DEEP DOWN IN MY HEART,

GLORY TO HIS NAME”

Memorize Scriptures and quote them to yourself over and over until you believe it. 

You don’t need to request Joy, you already have it! It’s been there all the time. You need to use it.                               This joy is the Joy of the Lord. (There are too many bland Christians these days.)

God will give you the power to express it; otherwise, He would not have asked us to… “REJOICE IN THE LORD ALWAYS” if it were not possible.

Call out and ask for it, then live in it.

I Thessalonians 5:16

“REJOICE.  EVERMORE.”

How?

PRAY WITHOUT CEASING!

HINDRANCES TO JOY.

1. Unconfessed Sin! Such as bitterness and unforgiveness.

Don’t be stingy with this Joy, it’s contagious and easily caught.  A great way to pass it on is…

Win someone to Christ! Soul winning is an excellent cure for depression!

“THERE’S JOY IN HEAVEN OVER “ONE” LOST SINNER WHO COMES TO CHRIST.”

Hey, the whole of Heaven rejoices over just “one person” who comes to know Jesus as their Lord and Saviour.

(The Angels and all of Heaven’s inhabitants.)

And you as well, the thrill of being used by God to bring that lost sheep into the arms of Jesus—you can’t possibly not rejoice with “Exceeding Joy”

Maybe you want to experience this full Joy, ” Then let Jesus come into your heart. Your sin He’ll wipe away. Your night will turn to day. Your life He’ll make over anew. If you want joy, real joy, Wonderful joy, let Jesus come into your heart.”

A prayer you can pray…

“Lord Jesus, I thank you for your sacrifice of Love for me by shedding your blood on the Cross of Calvary. I am a miserable person who has lived in sin and need You to save me and fill me with the joy of believing. Come into my life now and save me. and fill me with your Joyful Spirit.’

Thanks, and God Bless.

   Pretend anymore!    

Amen.

CHRIST OUR GOD.

In Christ we have “New Life.

(Please read chapter 2).

And His mind becomes our true mind. This is why we can experience the outworking of our salvation. He shares His Divine Love and future bliss. So in this chapter Christ should be the greatest goal of all of our faith, love and hope.

Paul’s longing and utmost desire is expressed in verse ten of this chapter, chapter 3:10.

“THAT I MAY KNOW HIM.”

This chapter begins with the renunciation of all other things to win Christ. (Stuff)

These things are many, let’s look at some of them.

POPULARITY, FAME, FORTUNE:

We have a deep, innate longing to be well-liked, honoured, noticed, and accepted by those whom we count worthy in our eyes.  But we should “GLORY IN HIM, CHRIST OUR LORD” alone and not in the approval of men.

Now if ever there was a man who had the right to glory in the things of the flesh it was Paul.                    He could actually say, “I have reason to glory in myself but these things fade in significance due to the excellence of knowing Christ.”  

Let’s look at them.

                                           1. CIRCUMCISED.        As a newborn baby, he was circumcised on the eighth day according to Jewish law. He was an Israelite by birth.    He was proud that he was a part of the promised Covenant.

2. OF THE STOCK OF ISRAEL.

Paul’s parents were Hebrews so He was of an Israelite descent through and through and he was proud of his unblemished pedigree.

3. OF THE TRIBE OF BENJAMIN.

This tribe gave the first King of Israel, King Saul. This tribe helped the tribe of Levi restore the temple that stood within the Holy City, Jerusalem.

4.  A HEBREW  OF THE HEBREWS.

Though they lived in Tarsis, Paul’s parents adhered to the Hebrew language and customs. Paul was educated in Jerusalem under the famous Gamaliel.

5. AS TOUCHING THE LAW  PAUL WAS A PHARISEE.

By birth an Israelite, by upbringing a Hebrew. By His own choice a Pharisee adhering to the strictest letter of the Law.

6. CONCERNING ZEAL.                       Paul persecuted the Christian Church. He was not satisfied with just being a Pharisee he zealously persecuted all those who were opposed to his convictions and punished them as heretics, especially those who were Christians.

7. TOUCHING RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THE LAW.

Paul was blameless in his adherence to all the laws and regulations. He met the last requirement. “Perfect!”

Oh that we as Christians would possess such Zeal for the things of God.

Do you have the zeal to attend church regularly? Or do you allow other things to crowd your life, and you attend when it is convenient? 

IF YOU ARE TO BUSY FOR GOD…YOU ARE …

“TOO BUSY” 

Always choose to make your Christianity your top priority. Neglecting to read your Bible, Prayer and Worship,  soon you will be like that coal that is taken off the fire … It grows cold and indifferent to the things of God. (It goes out!)

The disciples, after watching Jesus vehemently cleanse the Temple remembered that it was said of Him. 

“THE ZEAL FOR THE HOUSE OF THE LORD HAS EATEN HIM UP.”

Stop!! … Now decide that nothing will come between you and your commitment to Christ. He went all the way to the cross, just for you. Yes, it may cost you your friends and your reputation, but in the long term, you will be wonderfully “BLESSED” by God, and it will be worth it all when you stand before Him on that great day of judgment.

With overflowing joy, you will hear those words,

“WELL DONE, MY GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT, ENTER NOW INTO THE JOY OF THE LORD.”

Once he met Jesus on the road to Damascus, Paul counted all things as loss, nothing compared with the Excellency of knowing Christ. Looking back, he said,

“WHAT THINGS WERE GAIN TO ME I COUNTED LOSS FOR CHRIST, BUT NOT ONLY THOSE THINGS… BUT “ALL” THINGS THAT WOULD TAKE THE PLACE OF CHRIST! … SO I MIGHT GAIN CHRIST!!”

He counts them as rubbish, refuse, garbage, dung! unimportant in order to gain Christ.

So must we!

Amen.

STRENGTH, WEAKNESS.

Causes of loss of strength.

1. ABUSE.

Physical and Mental abuse over a long period will take a toll on your God-given health and strength.   Continuous corrections and critical comments will make you feel that everything you do is wrong. It will drain you of resilience and strength, making it difficult to believe in yourself and carry on. Especially if the one who corrects you is your husband or wife.  

Remember that  Satan is a liar and the accuser of the brethren.           

To avoid confrontation, you try to be nice, but inside, they are draining you of mental and emotional energy, and if you can’t sleep due to rehearsing those death words in your mind, insomnia will become a habit, and this will undoubtedly drain you of physical strength.

Emotionally, you begin to doubt your self-worth, which robs you of confidence in decision-making. Sometimes, walking away is better than putting up with the continual barrage of negative, accusative talk.

2. A TERMINAL  DIAGNOSIS.

This will, of course, drain you of energy, causing weakness. Your mind is willing, but your flesh is weak. You are determined not to let your body rule your mind, but the body won’t allow you to function correctly.

Such diseases as Fibromyalgia, Chronic Arthritis, Multiple Sclerosis, Chronic Fatigue, also called CFS, Lupus, Lyme disease, and Parkinson’s disease are all characterised by profound fatigue and sleep disorders.

Then, there are many side effects to drugs that are administered to ease your condition. These can cause you much unnecessary discomfort and fatigue.                 When taking natural remedies we also need to be led by a professional Wholistic Dr, as some natural medication can be as dangerous as chemical drugs.

Ask God to guide you to the proper treatment meant for you. Ask Him for wisdom to ensure you are moving toward good health again. Never give in, never give up.

He will be your Strength if you focus on Him and not on your weakness. 

Pain can be turned into strength of mind and strength of mind will control your body.                             Be resilient, and don’t give up believing God’s Word.

Remember there is also the Spiritual aspect, the real cause of your illness just may be a Spirit of infirmity from the pit of Hell.

That is, a Messenger from Satan to destroy you, a demon of Infirmity that, if tolerated, will cause havoc in your life. You must,

“RESIST THE DEVIL AND HE WILL FLEE FROM YOU. DRAW NEAR TO GOD AND HE WILL DRAW NEAR TO YOU” and protect you.  

Keep wearing the armour of God, a reminder of what Jesus did for you.

4. GRIEF.

The loss of a loved one, be it a sudden death or a terminal slow death, will drain you of strength. The sudden shock of departure without warning will significantly affect your whole Spirit, Soul, and Body. (My darling husband died beside me in bed. Though I experienced God’s peace emotionally, my body’s reaction was the opposite. I couldn’t eat, sleep, or reason. It took time, but with God’s help, I re-adjusted to his death.) Knowing that he is with Jesus brought great comfort.

Nutrition is most important during Times of stress.

REST. EXERCISE, AND WHOLESOME FOOD.

Think of the word

R…Rest!

E…Exercise!

D… Diet!

Avoid Alcohol, Sugar, Nicotine and over-the-counter Drugs.

The trauma of watching your loved one slowly suffer and die can be just as traumatic and devastating for you

Sudden death is also total shock to you and cause similar symptoms.

Yet, you must remember…

“UNDERNEATH AND ROUND ABOUT YOU ARE THE EVERLASTING ARMS.”

The Holy Spirit is called “The Comforter” He is the arms of God’s love enfolded around you bringing soothing relief from all adversity.

5. TRAUMA.

Any trauma will rob you of strength. The Trauma of Divorce, Injury, Injustice, Bankruptcy, Robbery and Fraud are some other causes of failing strength.

People sometimes, instead of turning to the Lord in these difficult times, revert to Alcohol, Drugs, gambling, hoarding and compulsive behaviour to find comfort. However, these things are temporary band-aids and not a permanent solution.

Trauma can open the door for a demon to enter and cause far more damage than anticipated.

Stay in the Word, hold on to God’s promises, and believe… Just keep talking to God exactly about how you are feeling.               

“HIS PLANS ARE GOOD AND NOT EVIL TO GIVE YOU A FUTURE AND A HOPE.”  🙏

Jeremiah 29:11.

6.  GUILT AND SHAME.

One of the most potent and devastating forces in this world is shame.

Shame is not only the result of our wrong choices and failures. It can be imposed on us by others, such as Parents, Families, Spouses, even Churches, Pastors, Teachers and so-called friends.

Shame is a destructive emotion that keeps us from our God-given destiny.  Don’t despair, God wants to set you totally free from all guilt and shame. Did you know that Jesus Christ has already taken your shame upon Himself at the cross? So give it to Him!

Psychology, self-improvement, or group therapy may offer temporary relief, but only Divine revelation can bring lasting help. If you hear His voice and follow His plan for your life, you will receive the guidance you need.  It is a freedom that comes from the written Word of God by the power of the Holy Spirit.                       Shame is an internal bleeding… an inner torment, and a soul sickness. You feel weak and empty, with no purpose in living.                          You interrogate yourself and always come up with,

GUILTY AS CHARGED!

Only Christ can set you free from sin and condemnation. Repentance of sin brings Salvation. In Him…  (Jesus Christ)

“THERE IS NOW NO CONDEMNATION TO THOSE IN CHRIST  JESUS.” 

Romans 8:1.

He brings peace beyond your understanding and pardon, a peace which leads to freedom and intimacy with God.

SOME PRACTICAL THINGS YOU CAN DO.

1. Pray always at all times.
2. Live a life of obedience.

   3. Be filled with the Holy Spirit.

    4. Remove doubt,  fear and unbelief.       

    5. Walk by faith not by sight.

    6. Ask for wisdom.

    7. Completely surrender everything over to God.

     8. Trust Him at all times.

“IF THE SON SHALL MAKE YOU FREE YOU SHALL BE FREE INDEED”

“THE LORD IS MY STRENGTH AND MY SALVATION. WHOM CAN I FEAR, OF WHOM SHALL I BE AFRAID!”🆓

Amen.

“WHEN I’M WEAK, HE IS STRONG.” 

“HEAL ME, LORD, AND I SHALL BE HEALED.” Jeremiah 17:14.

“I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO GIVES ME STRENGTH.” Phil 4:13.

“All the promises in God in Him(Jesus) are YES! and AMEN (So be it) to the glory of God the Father.”

“When I am weak,    HE IS STRONG.” 

” I can do ‘all things’ through Christ who strengthens me.”

Phil 4:13.

We all experience times of utter weakness. Times when we are tempted to give up. Times when nobody seems to care or understand what we are going through.

You may be in the midst of suffering and pain from a prolonged illness, be it mentally or spiritually.

All you want to do is isolate yourself away from everyone, stay in bed and lock the world out.  You’ve  pleaded with God to heal you, but He seems far away and not interested at  all.  

People analyse you and give pat answers as to why you are not healed, they use other people’s experiences to prove that you don’t have enough faith to be healed or why their prayers are not answered.  They  build doctrines around their own thinking and experiences and other people’s failure to be healed. 

Or people judge you as harbouring unforgiveness, and seek to find some hidden, unconfessed sin in your heart.

“Watch out that you do not mistake your opinions for Revelation Light.” Luke 11:37b.

Weakness can bring you to the point that you cannot pray, or you’ve run out of ways to pray, and depression creeps in and causes you to despair and fill you with unbelief, fear and doubt.

Job, a man mentioned in the Old Testament, greatly suffered the loss of all things, including his health and strength, wealth, and even his children, at the hand of Satan (yet allowed by God), became so weak that all he wanted to do was die so he could be vindicated by God.

But as hopeless as it seemed, he had a spark of faith to cry out …

“THOUGH HE SLAY ME YET WILL I TRUST HIM”…

“WHEN HE HAS TRIED ME, I SHALL COME FORTH AS GOLD.”

In a time of weakness, it is easy to lose perspective of God’s goodness and compassion, faithfulness and mercy, willingness to heal and  the promises He has previously given you.

God hears and answers “your” prayer; he doesn’t re-direct it onto someone else and forsake you for their benefit. No, no, no!

He said to me,

“If you ask for bread… will I give you a stone?” Of course, He wouldn’t.

The Passion translation of Luke chapter 11:11 confirms this: “If a son asks his Father for a serving of fish, will he give him a snake?” 

The miracles of Jesus Christ definitely show that He healed “all” who came to Him. The operative word is “came” (not everyone who exists, but those who ‘came‘  to Him were healed).

Jesus said, “IF YOU ASK THE FATHER ANYTHING IN MY NAME, HE WILL GIVE IT TO YOU!…not somebody else!

“CALL UNTO ME AND I WILL  ANSWER “YOU” AND SHOW “YOU” GREAT AND MIGHTY THINGS THAT “YOU” DO NOT KNOW.”

Jer 33:3.

Many times David prayed. “Lord you have heard “my” prayers”

God has heard “your” cry and seen “your” tears and “will heal you.” He healed King Hezekiah and added fifteen more years to his life.

So why do people still die when so many people have prayed in faith believing that they will be raised up to full health and strength again?

I hear this over and over. “She was such a wonderful Christian, but God didn’t want to heal her.” 

That is so not true!

I had a very dear friend who was a godly woman and she was diagnosed with cancer, which eventually spread throughout her whole body. She believed that God would heal her and witnessed to saved and unsaved alike that it would be so.

She had great faith that God “would” heal her… Why did she die?  Yes, God is Sovereign… He makes the final choice…He has reasons and purposes to take that dear one home to Heaven.

But she couldn’t say. “I am healed,” according to Isaiah chapter 53:5. 

Or, “I was healed”, according to

I Peter 2:24.

She would only say that if she experienced it in her body. She wanted to see before she believed.

This is now my personal opinion and all I ask is that you will consider what I have to say as l believe what I’m about to share is a new revelation from God on how to pray the prayer of faith for a terminally sick person including yourself.

1. Establish in your mind that God “wants to heal you.” The Leper said to Jesus, “If you are willing, you will heal me.” Read Acts 10:38.

Jesus said,   “Certainly I am willing, I want to heal you. Go your way and show yourself to the priest.” As he went, he was healed.

   2. There is no sickness in Heaven! We pray the Lord’s Prayer… “Your Will be done on earth, as it is in Heaven.” It is His will that you live a wholesome life.

He doesn’t put sickness upon you to develop your Character, or teach you some spiritual truth.

There is no such thing as sickness in Heaven and we can believe that on this earth even if it is not yet so, it “will” be so.

   3. Believe in the “Finished Work of Christ.”  HE SENT HIS WORD (Jesus) AND HE HEALED THEM.

If we believe the written Word, it will be, “Medicine to our soul and Health to all our flesh.”

   4. The Atonement.

When Jesus suffered and died upon that cruel cross, He took upon himself all our infirmities and bore all our sicknesses. His Blood not only cleansed us from sin, but sickness was also included.

Psalm 103:1-5 looks forward to the Cross of Christ and declares that He “has”  forgiven all my INIQUITIES and healed “all” My DISEASES.

BY HIS STRIPES WE “ARE HEALED.” or by the wounds that wounded Him we “are” healed. Isa 53:5.

Not ‘will be healed,” but “ARE” healed.

1 Peter 2:24. “By His stripes you WERE healed.

Oh, dear sufferer, You HAVE ALREADY BEEN HEALED!

Believe it, declare it, shout it from the highest hill. Glorify your Father in Heaven. It’s done!

There is no age limit for your healing.

THE FACT IS …

You feel sick,  the Doctor says, “You will die, there is no cure. And there is nothing that medical science can do for you. Go home and enjoy the life you have left.”

THE TRUTH IS…

YOU “ARE” HEALED!

Christian when you pray for me I employ you,  to stop asking, and analysing as to why I am so sick and in chronic pain and give thanks that I am healed and delivered through the Finished Work of Christ. I don’t have to feel it, see it before I rejoice and believe it.

I see myself as healed, pain-free, walking, leaping and praising God. It’s a done deal.

Nor do I have to settle into sickness and disease by accepting it, and live with it, trying numerous ways to alleviate it.

I now trust in the Finished Work of Christ Jesus my Lord and Saviour.

“ALL THE PROMISES OF GOD IN HIM ARE ‘YES AND AMEN’ TO THE GLORY OF GOD THE FATHER.”

He’s a “Yes Jesus” not a “No Jesus” according to His Word.

One time, I was so desperate that I yelled at God; I am ashamed  to say, “If You love me, then You will heal me.”

I repented, as that is so untrue… He loves me with an everlasting love.

Twice, God audibly spoke to me. I sensed that by the tone in his voice, He revealed that I had grieved him. He sadly uttered.

“I ALREADY HAVE HEALED YOU.”

But because I didn’t feel it, I didn’t believe Him. I have since repented of my lack of faith in what Jesus did for me on the cross, and now I trust that He took “all” my sickness upon Himself, and “I am healed,” even if I can’t sense it or medical science does not agree with it.

“IF TWO ON EARTH AGREE TOUCHING ANYTHING IT WILL BE DONE OF MY FATHER IN HEAVEN.”

Matthew 18:19.

This is the God type of faith, not hope, but believing before you see.                                 So do not own your disease or label yourself as it is your Lot in life.

Keep this in your mind especially when symptoms appear.

Rebuke them! Refuse them! They are lies from the enemy.

Jesus Christ took it! Paid the price, and God has it!

The Healer is already at work bringing His miraculous healing.

Hey, the Healer lives inside of you.

Stop owning your diagnosis, stop labelling it as…

My Autism or my Cancer or my Fibromyalgia, etc…

I rejoice in the God of my SALVATION. ( Sozo)…. Meaning: Saved, Healed, Delivered, Set free from Satan’s power, and Prospered.

The truth will set you free…

We have been given great Power and Authority over Satan and his hoards of darkness and we are more than conquerors through Him who loves us.

As you pray in the depths of despair, consider changing how you pray and start giving thanks for your healing instead of pleading for it to happen.

Encourage others to believe with you.

Now give thanks and praise His Glorious Name.

“BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO DO NOT SEE YET BELIEVE!”

Here is a word of advice… Always hear God’s voice for the way that He will manifest His healing. There is no one method to follow, so allow Him to fulfil the promises He has given you.

Don’t compare yourself with another person’s healing experience.

Hear God! His ways are perfect, and beyond your ways. He will fulfil what He has promised. His way!

You do not have to throw away your medication or cancel your doctor’s appointment. Ask Him what you should take, what to eat, and which doctor you should attend.

You must listen to God as He speaks through His Word.

“He who has begun good work in you “will” also perform it.”

Prayer of healing…

“Father, You said that if I ask anything in Jesus’ Name, You will do it. I am sorry for all my doubts and unbelief. Now I know that you want me walking in health and well-being. Thank you, Jesus, that you paid the price by bearing all my infirmities in your body on the cross of Calvary.

I take authority over the Spirit of infirmity in your powerful Name and cast it into utter darkness, never to return.

Today, I receive my healing in your mighty Name.

Thank you that by your stripes … I AM HEALED!!

Bless you.

You will bloom again.
