(Mat 8:2-3 NKJV)  And behold, a leper came and worshiped Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.” {3} Then Jesus put out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” Immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

How many of us today are sick with some kind of ailment, wondering when we will ever feel better again? Many of us wake up with aches and pains, not wanting to get out of bed because we just feel lousy, nothing to look forward to, having to pop pills to get rid of pain. Sometimes we feel weak and tired, yet wanting to be used by God. So we think “how can we used by Him if we are always feeling sick; who’s going to listen and how can we be a testimony?”

Well I want to let you know that just as the Leper man was hurting, sick and feeling unclean, he came to Jesus with a heart of worship and asked Him to make Him clean. We to need to go to Him with the same heart… a heart of worship, asking Him to make us clean, to get rid of the sickness and disease, to get rid of the pills that we take daily.
God is willing today to heal us. We just need to ask Him.

We are believing with you. Let us know of your healing so we too can be thanking God!!

(Rev 19:16 NKJV)  And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

I’ve heard it debated by people about whether Jesus was really God in the flesh. I’ve had people tell me that Jesus was simply another one of God’s creations… no more of a deity than man himself.

This is simply not true. The Bible goes to great lengths to show who Jesus really was. Bearing the name KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS puts Him above all others.

The Bible says in (Acts 4:12 NKJV)  “Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

There is no other name like the name of Jesus. That’s because he was (Mat 1:23 NKJV)  “…Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.”

If you haven’t done so yet, put your faith and trust in Jesus. He is God in the flesh, who came to live with us and then die for us. His death and resurrection are our open door to eternal life, if we accept it on a personal level.

(Luke 8:50 NKJV)  But when Jesus heard it, He answered him, saying, “Do not be afraid; only believe, and she will be made well.”

How do we get our healing? Jesus says, “Only believe!”. We have to be able to find it within ourselves to believe that Jesus can and will heal us. It’s easier said than done. When it comes down to taking the steps, that’s where it can get difficult.

We need faith to believe and one way to get the faith to believe is to read God’s Word. (Rom 10:17 NKJV)  So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Reading what God has to say about healing will help us to believe it.

Keep claiming God’s promises over your sickness and believe Him for deliverance. Stand strong in His strength and don’t give up.

Keep BELIEVING!!

(Mat 6:34 NKJV) “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

As we live each day, we need to look at that day and focus on living it to it’s fullest, making sure we follow God’s commands in what He has asked us to do and how He wants us to do it. We need to be enjoying every moment of life.

Living out God’s commands will surely keep us busy. If we’re busy with the things of God we can never get bored and start worrying about things. It’s when our minds are bored that we THINK, and sometimes we THINK too much.

Let’s stop wasting time worrying about little things, or even the big things that God wants to take care of for us, and start spending our time wisely, finding out the things He would have us to do to fulfill that day.

God bless you!!

(1 John 1:7 NKJV)  But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.

The blood of Jesus is very misunderstood these days. It has become something of a fable… almost a fairy tale.

It’s difficult for us, as humans, to understand the power of the blood of Jesus. But let’s understand this; it cleanses us from our sins and it does so much more, if we apply it to our lives.

There is nothing as powerful as the blood of Jesus… no medicine, no prayer, no ritual.

Man has traditionalized everything about Jesus Christ, but His blood cannot be traditionalized, ritualized or pent up in a man-made box, no matter how hard we try to do so.

If anyone ever tries to tell you that the blood of Jesus has to be associated with their traditions or rituals, walk away from their words and shake the dust from your feet. Lies such as this have no place in your life.

(Psa 30:5 NKJV)  For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life; Weeping may endure for a night, But joy comes in the morning.

Have you ever mourned? Have you ever wept? I know I have.

There are times when it seems like we can go from one period of weeping to another, while it seems like darkness surrounds us.

But God promises us that joy comes in the morning! There is nothing as powerful as God’s joy. His joy is our strength.

If you ever feel like you’re getting weak, take a good look and see if you’re losing your joy. It can happen without us even realizing it. Sometimes it seems hard to cling to our joy, but it’s worth fighting for.

(Psa 98:1-2 NKJV)  Oh, sing to the LORD a new song! For He has done marvelous things; His right hand and His holy arm have gained Him the victory.

There is a NEW song rising up all around us. A song that only the Lord is worthy of!! We all have a song in our hearts to sing to Him, each one with its own touch and its own sound. Each one formed as we desperately cry for help and as we watch Him faithfully deliver us… a song of Victory!

God is so AWESOME, sing your new song to Him today!! Open your heart and rejoice in His marvelous work!!

(Isa 61:3 NKJV)  To console those who mourn in Zion, To give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; That they may be called trees of righteousness, The planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified.”

Life isn’t always full of the things that we would like it to be. Sometimes things come our way that challenge us, test us and downright scare us.

But God has made us a promise. He has promised us that no matter what we go through, no mater how dark things might seem sometimes, that He will take ashes and give us beauty in return. He will take our mourning and give us the oil of joy.

Do you know why He gives us the oil of Joy? Because oil covers everything; it runs down and covers whatever it was poured on, and saturates it.

We need the oil of joy. It’s God’s way of wiping away our mourning and sadness and replacing it with His gladness.

Let the oil of joy run down over you today and permeate your spirit.

(Heb 11:3 NKJV)  By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.

Every once in a while I happen to read this verse and it hits me all over again as to the depth of what this is saying. Seriously… this is very deep stuff!

God created everything we see, from absolutely nothing. He didn’t have something to start with, to create everything from. There was nothing and then He spoke and there was everything. Take a minute and think about that.

As powerful as science appears to be to some people, science always has to start with something to make other things. Not a single human being can make something from nothing. Only God can do that!

We all understand God differently, but no matter how we perceive Him or comprehend Him, He’s more incredible and awesome than our own minds can ever fully understand.

Take a minute today and give Him praise.

(Heb 12:14 NKJV) Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord:

How many of us like to get the last word in, only because we think we’re right? How many times did we walk away from a conversation having to justify in our heads that what we just did was good because we were right in what we were saying, yet feeling yucky and disturbed on the inside?

If it doesn’t feel right on the inside, then don’t ignore that feeling. There are times, whether we’re right or not, that we need to peacefully walk away. We are here to serve God and God wants more than anything for people to give their hearts to HIM. If we are standing there arguing with people then how does He win them over?

There are times when the truth is spoken, but in doing so it is spoken in LOVE not in anger. God’s timing is perfect.

God is looking for a people that will pursue peace, and holiness, and in doing so they may see HIM!!

(James 4:13-14 NKJV)  Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit”; {14} whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.

I know we have touched on this subject and these scriptures before, but they are always worth repeating, even if just as a gentle reminder for each of us.

Yesterday there was a horrible car accident not too far from where we live. In this accident, which involved two cars, two people lost their lives. One was an innocent driver, a man 68 years of age, who appears to have gotten hit by the other driver. The driver of the other car was the father of a 7 year old boy. The boy is now fatherless and the wife of the other man is now a widow.

It has become almost cliché to talk about how fragile life is and how short it is. But I am here to tell you today that it is the absolute truth. Not a single one of us is guaranteed a tomorrow.

We all tend to plan our lives and look so far ahead that we lose track of today… the right here and right now. We put off things that we should be doing, because we think we can do them tomorrow, or next week or next month.

Tragedies like these tend to be reminders for each of us as to the fragility of life, but we need to remember this every single day, even without seeing a tragedy.

I ask each of you today to work hard to keep your priorities straight and be sure to love those around you, giving them the time they deserve. We are all guilty of not calling that person when we should, or giving that someone a hug when we should.

Today, love like you mean it.
