True Healing

You hold my every moment

You walk with me through fire

And heal all my disease

I trust in You, I trust in You

I believe You're my healer

I believe You are all I need

I believe

And I believe You're my portion

I believe You're more than enough for me

Jesus You're all I need

You hold my every moment

You calm my raging seas

You walk with me through fire

And heal all my disease

I trust in You, Lord I trust in You

I believe You're my healer

I believe You are all I need

Oh, I believe

I believe You're my portion

I believe You're more than enough for me

Jesus You're all I need

Nothing is impossible for You

Nothing is impossible

Nothing is impossible for You

You hold my world in Your hands

Healer by: Kari Jobe

This song has been on my heart the last couple days, first for personal reasons and now this morning for our broken country. I think of all the cries for social justice and civil reform and for punishment and my heart just breaks, I do not believe this is the answer. Our scars run so deep, not just in this country but worldwide. I believe Jesus is the Answer. I believe He died for the World and he was broken to heal all our wounds and sickness, of the body, mind, heart and soul (Isaiah 53). I do not believe anger, hate and reacting in the flesh are the answer. I believe the LOVE OF CHRIST will change hearts and our World. In the mean time I know what is required of me: 

"He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to act justly, love mercy (kindness), and to walk humbly with your God? (Micah 6:8).

I am content with the Lord's instruction. I cannot expect this of others, but must lead in this in my own life as a Follower of God most High, a Disciple of Christ, I am who the broken world can look to and see a difference. Jehovah Rapha "The Lord Our Healer" has healed my heart of anger, bitterness, sin and separation and I believe He can and will bring Healing to the hearts of many. The Lord IS our Healer, only He can fix this, only He can right the wrong and He promises to do so. 

Have you prayed for healing lately? Have you asked God to heal our land? Have you asked God to heal wounded hearts or have you blame-shifted and expected others to fix this? Where is your trust placed? In God, the Creator and His Son and Holy Spirit? Or is your trust and hope misplaced? Many of you did not know me before I met Christ Jesus personally, but I was angry, hateful, bitter, depressed, my heart was SO dark and God changed me! He poured His love into my heart and cleansed me and healed my brokenness and I pray He will do the same for many more. Today may we as The Body of Christ petition God to Heal the Hearts of our country and may we reach out to the brokenhearted and downtrodden; not in angry outbursts for "justice" but each of us walking humbly with God, acting justly among our neighbors and loving mercy and kindness... May we touch our Nation's hearts one at a time with the Love of God through Christ Jesus. 

"Now the Lord is the Spirit and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is FREEDOM." 

(2 Corinthians 3:17)
