Our Covenant Right To Be Healed

Posted 12-01-2023 at 07:37 PM by Albert Finch (How Do I Advance My Spiritual Life?)

Jesus not only redeemed us from sin, He also redeemed us from sickness. So it is God's will to heal you. Never doubt it, because healing is in His redemptive plan.

The Bible says that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word shall be established (Matthew 18:16). The following texts from Isaiah, Matthew, and First Peter all agree that Jesus took our infirmities and bore our sicknesses:

Isaiah 53:4-5 - King James Version (KJV)

Just another day

Posted 12-01-2023 at 07:35 PM by themistymented1

Having a bit of a hard time lately trying to understand my life. I have spent most of my life trying to make people smile. I have used humor for many things - to hide behind when I'm scared, when I'm nervous, when I'm hurting (physically &/or emotionally), when I'm insecure, when I'm embarrassed.
I believe in treating others as I like to be treated. I try to do no harm. It seems this idea is not as popular as I'd hoped it would be.
Going to have to spend some thinking time trying...

December 1, 2023 - Exhortation

Posted 12-01-2023 at 05:15 PM by Albert Finch (How Do I Advance My Spiritual Life?)

Experiencing His Radiance Through Focus And Repetition

Posted 11-30-2023 at 06:17 PM by Albert Finch (How Do I Advance My Spiritual Life?)

It is easy to go to sleep reviewing negative ideas and pictures in our mind and wake up in the morning with a poisoned and negative spirit instead of falling asleep receiving the love of Jesus in your heart and giving it back to Him.

CONTINUOUSLY DECLARE GOD'S WORDS

We declare truth over any negative circumstance in our lives and we see Jesus present in inner healing scenes. And since we do this continuously, this becomes ALL that we see.

We do not see...

Sainthood

Posted 11-30-2023 at 04:31 PM by Albert Finch (How Do I Advance My Spiritual Life?)

Colossians 1:26,27 - "the mystery hidden for ages and generations but now revealed to his saints. To them, God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory."

Pride is the deification of self. To say "Oh, I'm no saint." is acceptable to human pride, but it is unconscious blasphemy against God. It literally means that you defy God to make you a saint. "I am much too weak and hopeless."...
