When we want to be "healed" we are told to Speak GOD'S WORD over our infirmity or the situation. Some tell us we receive Spiritual healing, some say Emotional and Bodily healing. When we read, pray and live GOD'S WORD minute of every day we fill our Soul, Spirit and body with HIM. Proverbs 4:20, "...keep them in the midst of your heart...for they are life...and health (Hebrew translation of Medicine) to their whole body". When we think, respond and speak GOD'S WORD we are not filled with "negative", "disparaging" and "Hopeless" FAITH. The evil one has to "search" for those to devour; if he was all powerful he would consume everyone and not have to "search". Psalm 107:20, "HE sent HIS WORD and healed them". Today THINK, SPEAK AND LIVE GOD'S WORD in every moment. Pray WITH FAITH before every word, every thought and every response with GOD'S WORD and we will be FILLED WITH GOD. And we WILL SEE THE MIRACLE THAT THERE IS NO ROOM FOR DISEASE IN THE SPIRIT, MIND OR BODY. Matthew 4:4, "man shall not live by bread alone, but every WORD THAT COMES FROM THE MOUTH OF GOD. BE HEALED! AMEN!

Is JESUS in us? J - JESUS, E - Explains, S - Salvation, U - Unto, those who S - Seek HIM. "The riches of this Glory...which is CHRIST in you, the hope... (Colossians 1:27). Does the JESUS in us encourage others to know HIM? Does our JOY ( J - Joy) Encourage (E - Encourage) Salvation (S - Salvation) Unto (U - Unto) Sinners (S - Sinners)? IS JESUS IN US?
We have heard that atheists only exist on earth. This is apparently true, because we know there can be no atheists in Heaven, and we certainly know after Judgement, there will be no atheists in Hell. Philippians 2:10, "...at the NAME of JESUS every knee should bow, in Heaven and on earth and under the earth." We may choose to bow before JESUS now, or at Judgement we will certainly bow. Another certainty is, WE WILL BOW, SOONER OR LATER. AMEN.
When we have offended someone do we go to them and ask "forgiveness"? Or do we just try to act as if nothing has happened by doing something nice for them? Is that repenting? We say, "GOD" knows our heart" in a feeble attempt to clear our conscience. 2 Corinthians 7:10, "For GODLY grief produces a repentance that leads to Salvation without regret..." GODLY SORROW versus "worldly sorrow" removes our pride, selfishness and vanity. We know we have offended or we wouldn't try to substitute actions in place of going to that person in repentance. We know within ourselves we have offended without them telling us. The HOLY SPIRIT within us, convicts us of our offense; do we listen and give a GODLY repentance by asking their forgiveness, OR DO WE JUST TRY TO MAKE THINGS BETTER ON OUR OWN? GODLY SORROW or worldly sorrow?
In a world of adjectives and superlatives do we try to "add to" what has already been defined in its completeness? What more can be said to enhance the NAME OF GOD, YAHWEH, "I AM"? Is it "AWESOME" or "GOOD"? Job 42:5-6, "I have heard of YOU by hearing, but now my eyes see YOU..." Are we deceived into thinking we know more than we do? YAHWEH, GOD and I AM says it all. Does AWESOME take away from the OWNER AND CREATOR of everything? We may not think yellow, purple and orange go together, until we see the sunset. GOD IS GOD, AWESOME IS NOT ENOUGH.
When someone says, "that is PROFOUND" they are saying "I understand the DEEP MEANING of the Truth of what was said". In Truth, we only understand what is non-confusing and SIMPLE without "adding to or taking away". Do we depend on the interpretations and manifestations of others where "unstable people distort, as they do other scriptures" (2 Peter3:16)? The Truth and Revelation of GOD comes only from ONE Interpreter and Translator; THE HOLY SPIRIT within us. 1 Corinthians2:13, "we impart words not taught by human wisdom but taught by THE SPIRIT". PROFOUND limits and reduces THE MESSAGE to our own understanding, not the manifestation of JESUS. John 14:21, "...I will love and manifest myself to him." NOW THAT IS BEYOND PROFOUND.
The "Tree of Life"; The "Tree of Knowledge" (knowing the difference of good and evil). With all of the "dos" and "don't dos" in the Bible is our "knowledge", interpretation and translation going to give us virtue, love, truth and the FACE OF GOD? Is being saved a "full circle" of life? Do we start in Heaven (the Garden of Eden), then humanly born with the belief that Knowledge is the center and foundation of our Souls, then seek the "Tree of Life" and return to Heaven? Can we please GOD and have the Peace of HIS PRESENCE as our present selves? Won't we continue to rely on our knowledge and as we are now? Or are we willing to be NEW CREATURE? 2 Corinthians 5:17, "...if any man be in CHRIST, he is a NEW CREATURE...and old things are passed away..." The NEW CREATURE seeks TRUTH and LIFE. John 14:6, "...I am the way...the TRUTH and the LIFE..." Does KNOWLEDGE let us see only the good in ourselves and others, the HOLINESS of CHRIST? Does knowledge give us LOVE, UNCONDITIONAL LOVE? There must be more for our restless SPIRIT and our suffering SOULS. The TREE OF LIFE is TRUTH it is JESUS, WHO is LIFE. Death has no substance of its own, it is the absence of LIFE. Isn't the TREE OF LIFE the ultimate KNOWLEDGE OF TRUTH? Do we choose the TREE OF LIFE; TRUTH, JESUS and become a NEW CREATURE? ISN'T THAT ALL WE NEED TO KNOW? THAT'S THE ONLY WAY TO COME FULL CIRCLE; HEAVEN - KNOWLEDGE - HEAVEN.
Things to do, places to go and a few prayers along the way. Have we experienced GOD'S Love in HIS creation? Job 12:7-8, "...and the birds of the air, will tell you; speak to the earth, and it will teach you..." Do we Listen to GOD through the animals? Perhaps GOD gave us pets to teach us unconditional Love also. They forgive instantaneously, come to comfort when we think there is no one else; even when we neglect, don't feed on time, or are too busy to see that they eagerly wait to share the moment just with us. They teach us UNCONDITIONAL LOVE without expectation. When they leave us, have we lost something HOLY or HAS GOD USED THEM TO TEACH US HIS LOVE. "The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion...together; and a little child will lead them" (Isaiah 11:6). ARE WE LISTENING?
Ask, expect and live the Miracles. In the "world", extraordinary occurrences are Miracles. In the Presence of GOD, "extraordinary occurrences" are our way of life. How do we know this? Psalm 91:11, "For HE will command HIS Angels concerning you, to guard you in all your ways." Miracles are what they are; they are our WAY OF LIFE. ASK, EXPECT AND LIVE. WE ARE SURROUNDED BY ANGELS.
Feel lied too, deceived or betrayed by someone who was supposed to be a Christian, a member of the Clergy or Priesthood? Are we so "disappointed" that our "Faith" is shaken, our "beliefs" clouded with uncertainty because of one "person"? If so, "then our Faith is in the wrong person"! "We are to test EVERYTHING", even predominant leaders so we are not mislead. 3 John 1:9-11, "...Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. He who does good is of GOD, but he who does evil has not seen GOD." Even JESUS was betrayed within HIS close circle of Disciples. What are we to do? We are to love them, pray for them and hurt for them. WHY? "THERE, BUT FOR THE GRACE OF GOD, GO I".
