Hi Carl,
The following is a devotional on divine healing that I hope will get you excited about the subject of healing.

DIVINE HEALING

When ever we see a divine healing take place in a friend or family member, it is a glimpse of Heaven when we will all get new bodies that will never get sick again and will be healed forever.
I personally have seen many people healed over the years, and have had healing take place in my own body.

Up front I want to say that I do not believe that God heals everyone all the time. I have been battling chronic pain in my body for over 3 years due to a neuromuscular problem.. I will always allow other to pray for me, and believe God for my total healing. Even though God has not chosen to heal me at this time, I still am experiencing the next best thing, “GRACE”.

Grace is awesome and I have been walking in for quite a while. God gives me a task, and then he gives me strength to do it. There are some things God has ask me to do that in my own strength, I would be a failure. But His grace is enough to get me by, and even more.

I think there is a reason that not everyone gets healed physically instantly.

The scripture says, Is anyone among you sick? Then he must call for the elders of the church and they are to pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord;and the prayer offered in faith will restore the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up, and if he has committed sins, they will be forgiven him.

Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much ( James 5:!4-16 )

Healing and health in a person life takes time. We are in it for the long Haul in many cases. Being born again, planted in a church family, reading and trusting in the Word of God, receiving prayer from the elders, and from one other; All these things bring healing and restoration into peoples lives. God restores us from the inside out spirit, to soul, to body.

What good is it if someone is healed of a liver disorder, but is still and alcoholic? What good is it for some one is healed of sexually transmitted disease, if the person is still sleeping around?

Psalm 107:17-18 says, “ fools become sick because of their sin.” so we need to focus on getting people healed and free in their spirits by the new birth, then dealing with things like forgiveness and getting rid bitterness which can cause physical problems, also help them to walk away from sin. The fact is, that love always hope, and always believe for healing for others, because that is what the God kind of love does.

We must be very careful about putting burdens on others by saying things like, “ you must have weak faith, and that is why your not healed, or you must be doing something wrong in your life and that is why your not healed.

Remember Job's friends made this mistake and they were very wrong.

We are encouraged through the process of healing, it is then that we discovered that we have a wonderful Christian family who loves us, and will stand by us through the healing process.
This is the taring off the roof kind of Christianity, and bringing one another to Jesus that we see in the Gospel. We will stand by each other until they are totally healed here, or in the Kingdom.

We also have to realize that we will all get sick and die some day unless Jesus comes back first. This is the ultimate healing for us, So continue to pray and believe God for divine intervention and healing for our friends and families.

I thank God who is not only the giver of salvation through Jesus, but also gives assurance of salvation. I know what your saying is true for I also have known it for over 34 years now. Nothing can take us from his hands. We have the Holy spirit in our lives as a promise of what is to come for all of us. God bless you!
In the love of Jesus

Father you know Florence Hicks and she has colon cancer in the 3rd stage.
Father your word teaches us to love one another, part of love is to hope. We therefore hope for florence and ask you to heal her. Father you are able to do what we ask, even if you choose to bring her home to yourself we will not doubt your healing power, but will glorify you that your will has been accomplished. We thank you Lord that you are ministering to Carl also, keep him in perfect peace as he keeps his eyes on you. In Jesus name
In the love of jesus

HI carl
Pardon me for taking so long to have a chat with you. I am working long hours and was away for a few days to a wedding of my niece. And this weeks been hectic but praise God I am her to say hi!
thans for the explanation about southern music, can you name some of the songs? I am fond of a lot of music gospel at first and also love light classical music, ah actually I love all kinds but am not fond of jazz, underground, heavy metal and blues.
Ya you are right when people have things easy they become proud and it is then that they think that they dont need God, because they rely on their own strength.
Funny that Father always have a way to draw us back to Him even iif it mean living throughh hard times.
See you are giving sunday school to almost the same age group as I. They are an interesting bunch of kids. but our children are going thtough very difficult and rough times!! We need to pray more each day for them
Will be praying for you and for America to return to her first love!!
Will talk again
