Do You Need Healing?

Are you sick? Is a family member ill? 

We (as Christians) have a lot of power at our fingertips, but we don't know how to use it!

Matthew 17:20 "...I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."

Healing is directly associated with faith. 

Matthew 15:28 "'Dear woman,' Jesus said to her, 'your faith is great. Your request is granted' And her daughter was instantly healed."

Matthew 8:5 "When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking for help. 'Lord,' he said, 'my servant lies at home paralyzed and in terrible suffering.'  
Jesus said to him, 'I will go and heal him.'    
The centurion replied, 'Lord, I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed. For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, "Go," and he goes; and that one, "Come," and he comes. I say to my servant, "Do this," and he does it.'
When Jesus heard this, he was astonished and said to those following him, 'I tell you the trust, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith. I say to you that many will come from the east and the west, and will take their places at the feast with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. But the subjects of the kingdom will be thrown outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'
Then Jesus said to the centurion, 'Go! It will be done just as you believed it would.' And his servant was healed at that very hour.'

Think Before Speaking!

Proverbs 15:28 "The heart of the godly thinks carefully before speaking; the mouth of the wicked overflows with evil words."


Do you carefully plan what words you say and weigh the impacts? Or do you just spill out your words with no regard to the impact they may bring?

Do You Believe In Prayer?

Mark 11:22-25  "In the morning, as they went along, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots. Peter remembered and said to Jesus, 'Rabbi, look! The fig tree you cursed has withered!' 
'Have faith in God,' Jesus answered. 'I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.'"  (NIV)


God has given us a remarkable amount of power. The only thing we have to do is truly believe it will happen! That is easier said than done, but as we continue our walk with Christ and allow Him to prove himself over and over, our faith will grow and we will then realize that through prayer and believing, WE CAN DO ANYTHING.

Can God Make My Wrongs Right?

Short answer: YES

Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight." (NIV)

Time Is In God's Hands

Are you worried about a relationship and longing for someone to contact you?
Have you been looking for a job for months and are still unemployed?
Is the business you are starting taking a long time to get established?
Did your spouse in the military just get reassigned for another 6 months?

This list could go on and on...

The fact is, time is in God's hands. For things we desire, our human nature is impatient. We say, "Why God? Why hasn't he called me? Why can't I find a job? What's wrong with my business? Why did my spouse just get reassigned?"

As a Chist-follower, we can know that God is in control. And He is our heavenly "FATHER" who wants the BEST for us. We think we know what is best for us, but we don't know the whole picture! God sees our life from beginning to the end! He helps lead us to our full potential!

Rather than worrying, PRAY! And stay passionate about your life! Jesus died so you can live! LIVE TO THE FULLEST!

God, Our Father?

God is our heavenly father.

Ever feel like no one is on our side? Just remember, if He is our heavenly father, than we are his son or daughter!

It feels good to know that through Jesus, we can  be saved! And if we really think about the phrase, "I am God's son or daughter", it gives us confidence that God will take care of us just as a parent cares for their children.
