On 28th September 2010 I threw myself into Jesus' hands. For 30 days I'm trusting that Jesus will fully heal me of all illnesses and diseases, some of long standing (1 Peter 2:24). I am sick of being sick. I feel led to take none of the 6 medications prescribed for me, nor see any health professionals (Mark 16:18). I believe I'll become healthy, rested, alert, mobile, vigorous and sound of spirit, mind, soul and body. Compelling Word
Tuesday healing meeting today. A simple yet profound worship time, just a keyboard and our voices joining with Jesus in offering praise and glory to our Father on high.
A pastor from Uganda spoke. The Ugandan people are clawing their way back from decades of looting, rape and carnage of the Idi Amin regime. Jesus is raising up Christians who have counted the cost and are prepared to put everything into ministry for Jesus so that millions can rise from devastation to know fullness of life in Him:
(John 10:10) "The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it to the full".
Just as Jesus was anointed by Father God for His life's work:
(Luke 4:18-19) "The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the broken-hearted, to proclaim release to the captives, recovering of sight to the blind, to deliver those who are crushed, and to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord".
So we are anointed for the work our Lord has planned for us: this may not be work for which we seem fitted. Jesus is head of the church, He can fit any of us for any role He chooses. Life and ministry are often hard. Hard is good. These past days I have often pondered perseverance. Hard brings perseverance. Perseverance is good:
(Romans 5:3-4) Not only this, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering brings perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope.
Growing Me
Praise Jesus that He grows the fruit of the Spirit in me; I cannot live life for Him on my own.
So. Thank you Jesus that you have placed me into this 30 day project, this work, to grow me into what you want me to be for this time and place; into "the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ" (Ephesians 4:13).
Favourite Scriptures:
(John 17:23-26) "I in them, and you in me, that they may be perfected into one; that the world may know that you sent me, and loved them, even as you loved me. Father, I desire that they also whom you have given me be with me where I am, that they may see my glory, which you have given me, for you loved me before the foundation of the world. Righteous Father, the world hasn't known you, but I knew you; and these knew that you sent me. I made known to them your name, and will make it known; that the love with which you loved me may be in them, and I in them".
2 Peter 1:2-4 Grace to you and peace be multiplied in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, seeing that his divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and virtue; by which he has granted to us his precious and exceedingly great promises; that through these you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust.
Praise Jesus
Amen
