For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
    neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
    so are my ways higher than your ways
    and my thoughts than your thoughts.

10 “For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven
    and do not return there but water the earth,
making it bring forth and sprout,
    giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater,
11 so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth;
    it shall not return to me empty,
but it shall accomplish that which I purpose,
    and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.

WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS

Giving Thanks

test2

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

I’m thankful to God for being with me and for giving me so many miracles. There were times when I had no place to live and no food, God didn’t leave me… There were times when I felt so helpless and trapped, and even then God showed me His mercy.. Thank you Lord for my life and for being so faithful and so near!

What are you thankful for?

Healing Your Enemies

We are told to love our enemies.  Truly, they need it the most.  But also, we need it.  We need to pray for those who have harmed us.  We need to pray that they receive the healing of Jesus.  We need to pray they will be transformed from being people who hurt into people who help.

There are several precedents for people who were healed without asking for it or without even being near Jesus.  When you are praying for someone who has harmed you, remember these stories.  They are in the Bible as signs to you that Jesus’ power and healing can be done at any distance and without the knowledge or intent of the person who needs the healing.  The people who need to be healed most are often the last to admit it.  You are blessing them by asking Jesus for their healing.
