O God, our Father Heavenly Father, we join today in thanking you with all those who have been restored again to better health.  We thank you for faith and patience granted to us.  We thank you for healing, in body, mind and spirit; for the possibility of prayer and the comfort of the Bible.  Thank you Lord for sins forgiven and pardon assured; and through it all, for your unfailing presence.  We give you thanks and praise, through Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen.

This is powerful!  You got out of a bad relationship  because it was bad, but you are still resentful and angry (you let the devil leave his bags). You got out of financial debt, but you still can't control the desire to spend on frivolous things (you let the devil leave his bags).  You got out of a bad habit or addiction, but you still long to try it just one more time (you let the devil leave his bags)  You said, I forgive you, but you can't seem to forget and have  peace with that person (you let the devil leave his bags).  You told your unequally yoked mate that it was over, but you still continue to call (you let the devil leave his bags).  You got out of that horribly oppressive job, but you are still trying to sabotage the company after you've left (you let the devil leave his bags).  You cut off the affair with that married man/woman, but you still lust after him/her (you let the devil leave his bags). You broke off your relatio...

O ur Bible says that God is a "God of peace".  Nothing ever disturbs Him.  No earth-born storms invade the holy calm of His presence.  He is always at peace.  With perfect vision He sees  the end from the beginning.  In the working out of His plans and purposes there is neither haste nor delay.  Can you imagine God being anxious?  Impossible!  There is no problem to which He does not know the solution.  Nor is there any difficulty so great but He knows the way out, "There is nothing too hard" for the Lord (Jeremiah 32:17).   The Son is called "The Prince of Peace," and it is said that "of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end" (Isaiah 9:7).  That is because He understands the secret of peace.  When He came to this earth and lived as a man among men, one feature of His life that deeply impressed both His friends and enemies was His perfect poise.  Harsh criticism left Him unmoved.  Unkind ...

Oh God my Father, we need to hear from you.  We need a Word from you.  If we do not hear from you, then what will we do?  You spoke to Moses, you spoke to Abraham, so speak to us dear God.  We are living in a world that is filled with hatred, violence and crime and to make matters worse, we are striving to survive in a global recession.  So it is just us again Lord.  We have a problem that we cannot solve, we do not mean to worry you, but here we are with something new,  we need help that will only come from you Lord, so hear us Lord, we beseech.  People are losing their family, their jobs, their homes, their minds, and their sanctity.  Provide for us and our families, we pray.  Grant that no bitterness of mind may blot out our love for you.  Be unto us a strong wall, shelter us in these days as we reach out to you.  Open up the roads of blessing to us.  Give us faith, hope and love.  We wait upon you Lord through Je...

The Greatest Man in History Jesus had no servants, yet they called Him Master. Had no degree, yet they called Him Teacher. Had no medicines, yet they called Him Healer. He had no army, yet kings feared Him.. He won no military battles, yet He conquered the world. He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him. He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today. I feel honored to serve such a Leader who loves us! IN CHEMISTRY, HE TURNED WATER TO WINE. IN BIOLOGY, HE WAS BORN WITHOUT THE NORMAL CONCEPTION; IN PHYSICS, HE DISAPPROVED THE LAW OF GRAVITY WHEN HE ASCENDED INTO HEAVEN; IN ECONOMICS, HE DISAPPROVED THE LAW OF DIMINISHING RETURNS BY FEEDING 5000 MEN WITH TWO FISHES & FIVE LOAVES OF BREAD; IN MEDICINE, HE CURED THE SICK AND THE BLIND WITHOUT ADMINISTERING A SINGLE DOSE OF DRUGS, IN HISTORY, HE IS THE BEGINNING AND THE END; IN GOVERNMENT, HE SAID THAT HE SHALL BE CALLED WONDERFUL COUNSELOR, PRINCE OF PEACE; IN RELIGION, HE SAID NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT...

Dear God, through your Son Jesus Christ,  you have shown and taught us how to pray.   You have also shown and taught us how  to heal.  You have promised that we shall  do great things in your name, through the  power of your Holy Spirit.  So right now God,  break down all the barriers between us, beak  down all the obstacles  that hinder healing and  release the power of your Holy Spirit to flow  through our hands, for your name's sake.  Amen. Hallelujah! Glory! Praise Your name God!

"Blessed are the merciful,  for they will be shown mercy." – Matthew 5:7  By Robert H. Schuller If you want to change your world,change yourself.  How do you do that? I know of only one way. It happens when you meet Jesus Christ and ask him to take over your life.  Only Christ can take a heart that's been filled with fear, anger, bitterness, and hurt and liberate it with his mercy. But to treat people mercifully, you first have to learn to treat yourself with mercy. Accept yourself as Christ accepts you—just as you are! If you lack a deep inner sense of self-worth, you will constantly have problems with other people. You will be unkind, critical, and gossip.  You'll lash back. And eventually you will  undermine the most important aspects of  your life and it will collapse all around you. Follow Christ's example. Be merciful and  God will step in and show you mercy, too.
