Healing

In Acts chap 3, Peter and John said silver and gold have I none, but such as I have, I give unto you. Money, stuff and possessions all have there place, but what Jesus wants for us goes so far beyond all of that. I need deep spiritual healing for my soul. The Holy Spirit that was poured into my soul some 20 years ago is still working inside of me. As a skilled surgeon will perform delicate surgery to remove the infected part of my body, Jesus the master physician cuts through my heart to heal and deliver me from wounds, hurts, pride, failures, and all those areas of my life that would try to destroy. He's my healer!

The upgrade

Being an Apple fan I find myself frustrated at how they do business. It's not that they are poor business minded people, but rather they excell. You buy the latest and greatest product, but wait, under a years time it has become the outdated version. They are always on upgrade mode! What a challenge to me as a child of God, am I living off of last years blessings or is there something new in the Lord. Am I living off of last weeks prayer, or am I making new ones today. We need to upgrade, refine ourselves, making constant adjustments to make sure I'm not running on the old outdated victory. There's nothing wrong with remembering what Jesus did for us, I just can live there. I believe Jesus has a fresh Word and victory for us today. He is in the upgrade business, always looking to build our faith, make our walk better, Jesus is always looking to upgrade me from old man to new.

A well

How can Monday come along and feeling of discouragement, doubts, failures plague my soul then by Wednesday a sense of hope sweeps over me? Well that has happened to me this week. My mind started playing tricks on Sunday evening, and by Monday I was in full blown depression, wondering why Jesus would want to love me, I sure didn't. It's a dark place, tears filled my day yet, I knew down deep that Jesus was working on me. Despair in great measure filled my thoughts. I could only do what I knew to do, that was call upon Jesus. A simple medley about the Blood, would cross my lips, oh precious is the blood,. So today I found encouragement from His word, it's amazing how powerful it is. Yet two days earlier, life was all a blur. Jesus said out of your belly shall flow rivers of living water. So thankful for the well of the Holy Ghost that can water a parched thirsty soul and bring life again.

Compassion

Bible says in Matthew 9:36' "when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion". What about me? Am I moved with just my needs or do I possess compassion? Have I become so engrossed in my own issues that the issues of others don't even enter my mind. Jesus help us, I don't want them to see me and say I like your Jesus but don't like you! Jesus was the Word made flesh, guess what I think that needs to apply to me, us also. We must become the Word made flesh..

Failures

We all have them, let's face the facts. I have learned the greatest lessons in life from my failures, more so then from success. Success is actually a bad teacher. I must own up to my short comings, repent when they happen and ask the Lord to show me what I can learn. To many times I feel like a failure and fall short. That is why we need not lean upon the arm of this flesh but rather follow after the spirit. Bible says to be carnally minded is death but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. (Rom 8:6) I must learn to trust Jesus in everything, especially my failures, and watch my spirit in the victories.

The core

Brett Clark wrote in an article that "the function of the position can never trump the purpose of the position". Wow how true, at the very core of what God called me to to is share the life changing gospel message to those in need. Many things in life become a distraction to the very purpose we live on this earth. I believe Jesus wants us to enjoy life, however first, life without Him is not living, and second life that doesn't share this fact is wasted life. The very core of what we must be is vessels Jesus can use to pour life into others by our words and deeds.

Possibilities

Where are you putting your trust? Your talents, your abilities, good looks, bank account, education, etc? With God all things are possible. God will take weak things and make it strong. The wisdom of this world is no match for the might Jesus. Don't discount God in your equation, believe that He can, and the possibilities are endless
