My family and I just went through a time where we needed healing and a week later things are much better. Please play this healing prayer over and over for yourself or share with loved ones.
ISAIAH 53:5 says: "…he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed..." and in connection with this promise is the scripture PSALM 37:5: "Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass". NIV You too can trust God to heal you, if you come to Him. Psalm 41:3 The LORD sustains them on their sickbed and restores them from their bed of illness.
This is one of my favorite worship songs with lyrics:
leeland - carried to the table]
Wounded and forsaken I was shattered by the fall Broken and forgotten Feeling lost and all alone Summoned by the King Into the Master's courts Lifted by the Savior And cradled in His arms
I was carried to the table Seated where I don't belong Carried to the table Swept away by His love And I don't see my brokenness anymore When I'm seated at the table of the Lord I'm carried to the table The table of the Lord
Fighting thoughts of fear And wondering why He called my name Am I good enough to share this cup This world has left me lame Even in my weakness The Savior called my name In His Holy presence I'm healed and unashamed
These are the notes from my amazing women's bible study this morning.
Jonah 1:1-5
God will allow storms to happen in our lives until we listen and obey. Jonah was scared to do Gods will and ran to Tarshish, he was a prophet from Gath-Hepher. God tells Jonah to do two things, first to go to the great city of Ninevah and second to preach against it because of it's wickedness. As we all know, he ran away from the Lord. He intended to escape his divinely appointed task. Not possible, because God is... Continue reading...
Galatians 5
King James Version (KJV)
5 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
2 Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.
3 For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.
If you are a current Jehovah's Witness and you feel in bondage and lost, please watch these videos. Time for the real truth about God's gift to be revealed and peace brought to your heart and mind.
Amazing womens study at Horizon church this morning 3/14/2012. Please watch this sermon "My House Shall be Called A House Of Prayer" by Jim Cymbala. You will find it special, powerful, touching, and eye-opening.
Points from the sermon that impacted me: "Not if your doing God's work, it's how your doing God's work." "Do God's work with God's Spirit." "It's not if your on your note, it's why your on that note." "You have none if you ask none" "Not legalism to pray, but I need God"
So many many times in the bible it tells us not to be afraid and not to worry! In the meantime 1 Peter 4:7-11 tells us what we should be doing:
1 Peter 4:7-11
7 The end of all things is near. Therefore be alert and of sober mind so that you may pray. 8 Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. 9 Offer hospitality to one anoth...
This is a good sermon. The funny and ironic thing is my womens bible study group leader is the one that told me about it when she was checking out my church to make sure it was a good fellowship. She said she loved it and it's funny too.
Wonderful sermon from today, October 16th, called "Acceptance: Influence, A Good Race or a Bad Chase."
Is my influence drawing people to Christ or blocking people from Him?
1. Why do people like Jesus and hate the church? (Galatians 5:1-12) a. All too often Christians preach grace but live under the law.
Galatians 5:7 You were running a good race. Who cut in on you and kept you from obeying the truth? b. When I focus on rules, I rob the gospel of its "good news." c. Is my life throwing ... Continue reading...
I have started my amazing womens study group at Horizon. Here are a few notes from the study. I hope they speak to you like they have spoken to me.
We studied Matthew chapters 4 & 5. Here are the notes I wrote down as she was talking:
The natural man can find NO happiness. We are doing the following and Jesus is doing the making. Willing to submit. You are the Kingdom, He is in your heart. Meekness: Strength under control. Like a strong stallion running wild, but has now been captured by his ow...
Is your relationship with God becoming the most important thing in your life? Do you want to help others through the help and direction of the Holy Spirit? Read this book "Connecting Like Jesus: Practices for Healing, Teaching, and Preaching" By Tony Campolo and Mary Albert Darling.
Here are a few points from the book I have enjoyed so far:
"even though Jesus rose from the dead, he still had his scars." Jesus was not bound by his scars- instead he used them to help free others.
If you're ready to make a personal decision for Jesus Christ, simply pray this prayer and mean it in your heart:
Lord Jesus, I admit to You that I am a sinner. I know that my sin has separated me from You, but that You have extended to me a selfless gift of salvation by dying on the cross to pay for my sin. Today I accept that gift, and confess that You are Lord; I believe that You are God. Come into my heart and take control of my life, that I might live for You. In Jesus' name, amen.
