Healing

"But to you who fear My name The Sun of Righteousness shall arise With healing in His wings; And you shall go out And grow fat like stall-fed calves...And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people." (Malachi 4:2; Matthew 4:23 NKJV) This is the time of year when many people (and animals) get colds, flu, bronchitis, pneumonia, and a host of other physical illnesses. It is also the time of year, especially around the holidays, when many people (especially the elderly and homeless) experience major bouts of depression. The Holy Bible teaches us that whatever sickness and or disease one has, God can, and will, heal it. I do have to say, however, that sometimes God says yes, sometimes no, and sometimes not yet. It depends on what God's will is for one's life. Also, He can heal us in ways we didn't expect or plan. But, God does, and will, heal a person in whatever way we need Him too. God also uses others to help heal...by intercessory prayers of healing, by witnessing about what God can do, by providing rides to doctors, and even by companionship and visiting those who may need a friend or a support person. Young, old, single, married we can all be a minister of healing to others just by reaching out to others and sharing words of kindness. So, this year remember these two things: God can heal ANYTHING, and we can all be His representatives and also be healeers by our words and deeds. Love, Beau
