WORD for today!!
Good MMMOOOORRRRNNNNIIIINNGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know you all had a great sleep and are on your way to starting a wonderful day!!!! I will be, as I call it, "power" shopping today!!!! My mini vacation took a lot of time and money to prepare for so now I am one of those last minute shoppers. Actually don't mind it, because I find some awesome deals. I plan on going to the Mall of America today and get most of it done there!!!! I know what I am buying too so it shouldn't take long, LOL.
I wanted to share some scripture and pray with all of you this morning as I have noticed many prayer requests about loved ones needing prayer and healing. One situation in the bible that comes to mind is in Mark 5:24-34, it reads:
"A large crowd followed and pressed around him. And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years. She had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all she had, yet instead of getting better she grew worse. When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak, because she thought, "If I just touch his clothes, I will be healed." Immediately her bleeding stopped and she felt in her body that she was freed from her suffering.
At once Jesus realized that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and asked, "Who touched my clothes?"
"You see the people crowding against you," his disciples answered, "and yet you can ask, 'Who touched me?' "
But Jesus kept looking around to see who had done it. Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell at his feet and, trembling with fear, told him the whole truth. He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering."
This women had enough faith that all she needed was to touch the edge of jesus' garment and she was healed. This is very profound. She was in the right place, at the right time, had the right faith and was right in her actions!!! Now for us, all we need to do is have faith, that of a mustard seed, believe and we are healed. I am saying this to myself too. Yes, God's healing can occur in many ways and at different times. Sometimes it is a process and others it is instant!!! I never put God in a box when it comes to this topic. I have seen many different things happen. So I trust God and KNOW it will happen in HIs timing.
This morning, many are believing for loved ones to be healed and for good reports and guidance. I would like to pray for everyone. Will you agree with me?
Dear Lord,
We come to you in your name and we thank you for the wonderful things you are doing in our lives. We thank you for this opportunity to pray together and be apart of each others lives. Lord we come to you this morning and lift up our friends and family members to you. We thank you for healing them, delivering them and setting them free!!! We lift up to you those who have cancer, illness, depression, anxiety and fear!! We pray over each of these for a complete healing, peace to be in their minds and bodies and for your presence to be in their lives. We ask that you would reveal yourself to them in ways they have never seen before and that they would seek you during this time!! We thank you for all of the wonderful things that are about to happen in each of our lives and the lives of these individuals, even as we pray, in Jesus Name! AMEN!!
You all will have a blessed day today and thank you for praying with me!!!
I love you all!
