The Journey of Healing

I am healed. The LORD has confirmed that I am healed. I pray for my growth in faith in the Lord, for He never tells a lie. Even when the physical reality still lags behind the spiritual realm. I just have to believe and cling to His very Words.

I have to be incessantly persistent about my request for healing to manifest in the physical, like the widow who pestered the wicked judge (Luke 18: 1-8).

The judge was dishonorable and ruthless. He didn't fear God and he didn't care about the people he was supposed to protect. However, the widow didn't give up on asking him to grant her justice over her adversaries.

The judge grew tired of her requests and wanted her to go away, so he finally granted her request.

Perseverance won. I, too, have to be persistent in my request for God to heal me; to take away the physical and emotional symptoms of this ravenous disease. So here goes: I am healed, I am healed, I am healed. Lupus has NO PLACE in the body of Christ. Disease and sickness are incompatible with the perfect body of Christ. They just are.

Okay, now excuse my incessant rambling, I am just hopeful for the day when the physical aligns with the spiritual, and me and lupus part ways.

I DON'T need to conform to the standards of the world. God made me and He made me FREE to be who I need to be.

[gladlyhumbled]

it does not matter what I am capable to do. It matter what HE, Who is capable, can do through me.

God, replace my self-doubts and uncertainties with complete confidence in Your abilities. It should’ve never been about making me great, but giving You more room to display Your glory.

Don’t Resent, Appreciate.

Don’t resent someone for not having your vision or your dreams. They’re yours for a reason. God created you, including every aspect of you, to be uniquely anointed and purposeful. It is important to recognize that. Even more so, it is important to recognize that the people in your life who are not fulfilling your expectations simply may have their own vision of life. They may not be trying to hurt you with their actions, they just have a different perspective on what makes life life. That is, concerning the little things in life. In the end, be grateful for the way God has blessed you and made you a blessing to others. Pray for those around you that God may also bless them in their uniqueness so that they may be a blessing to others as well.

this is a message to myself, if anything. 

Cheers, and have a merry Christmas!

Grace

Grace is a gift.

Why?

Because it is given to the recipient whether he or she deserves it.

It is not a reward that requires merit. It is not something that we can earn according to our own righteousness, but only through the righteousness imputed by Christ (2 Corinthians 5:21, Philippians 3:9). If we believe in Jesus Christ and what He did for us, we are saved by grace through faith (Ephesians 2:8-9). 

Grace offers us an opportunity to be sons and daughters of the one true living God. To be able to call out to our Father, “Abba!” and have a relationship with Him, no longer separated by sin. Grace is the difference between approaching the throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16) with confidence and preparing animal sacrifices with shame. 

Grace is freedom from the Law (Romans 7:6).

Grace is what saves us. The Law is what shows us how filthy, sinful, and imperfect we are by nature.  

The gentle urgings of grace towards righteousness is more effective in reaching the “unreachable” than the stern, accusatory bark of the Law. 

Don’t be confused, though. Grace is not an excuse to sin. In fact, it encourages us to do better. All we have to do is truly recognize the scandalous nature of God’s gift. How it accepts, and even searches for us when we’ve gone astray. It’s the arms that warmly embraces the prodigal son, a proper disgrace in society’s eyes, after excitedly running over to greet him. It’s the Shepherd that won’t stop looking for the lost sheep, even if the rest of the ninety-nine are safe. It’s the scale that is far more concerned with equality than justice. 

That being said, the tenderness and fondness a Creator would ought to have for His creation to understand the consequences of such a gift, and give it anyway -- that’s enough to stop anyone in their tracks. Well, at least anyone in need of grace. 

Grace is what allures the sick and condemned to the place of healing. That includes the prostitutes, homosexuals, and convicts. The critical, exclusive nature of the Law is what bars them out. 

The Law is what nailed Jesus to the cross. Grace is what exonerates us from that same fate.

I choose the gift that was so necessary, it required the ultimate sacrifice: the blood of my Savior, hung on a cross.

What do you choose?

[gladlyhumbled]

God designed everything for our betterment. The complexity and awe that is the work of the Trinity is proof enough. God the Father sent the Holy Spirit to teach the believers of Jesus Christ.
