He Is Our Healer.

The Blame Game.

And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28. 
God is in control, right?, of course He is, that means He either makes things happen or He allows things to happen, all for His purposes. The good things and even the bad things all work for your good and the good is to get closer to Him and be more like Him. We sometimes have arguments with people, it could be a friend or even a relative. 
So in the heat of everything and as time goes by we blame the other person and maybe even get to the point of never talking to them. Jesus asks us to forgive each other. Matthew 18:21-22, Then Peter came to Him and said, Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times? Jesus said to him, I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven. 
It's a constant forgiveness. Now that doesn't mean that you will forget the wrong, you may never,  but you treat them as if nothing happened, you don't in other words X them out of your life and judge and condemn them, God forgave you of many atrocious things or are you so perfect. You still love them. Even though there might be a loss of trust or no relationship. those things have to be earned and rebuilt. 
Though He was a Son, yet He learned obedience by the things which He suffered. And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him. Hebrews 5:8-9.
We forget or just never knew that Jesus learned obedience by the things He suffered. 
We too must learn things that way most times. Remember God is in control, that means He either makes things happen or He allows things to happen. So your child is going in the wrong direction or he needs to learn something very important. You as a parent will most likely do anything in any way to get his or her attention to transmit the teaching to correct or give the information. God does the same thing to us. He uses anything even suffering to get our attention so we can learn obedience and be more like Him. 
The fact is, knowing all this, it's not the other person, it's God using the other person or circumstance or what ever to get your attention and the question is not why this person, but God what are you trying to teach me through this. 
It's very simple my friend, it's to Know Him if you do not know Him or if you do know Him, it's to be more like Him. God is in control.   

WHEN CAUGHT IN THE EYE OF A HURRICANE.

And God spoke all these words: "I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. "You shall not have no other gods before me." You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments. Exodus 20:1-6 ( NIV ). We wonder sometimes as Christians, like I have for many years until God showed me this truth. we wonder what is wrong with some of the relatives around us, that there is no peace or love among them or the unity that is found only in Christ. And those who know this unity, know what I am talking about. It's a genuine unity and only those who truly know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, only have. The Bible says Therefore by their fruits you will know them. Not everyone who says to me Lord, Lord, shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my father in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and done many wonders in your name? And then I will declare to them, I never knew you; depart from me you who practice lawlessness! Matthew 7:20-23. Our fathers before us might have not known Jesus and loved and worshiped other things. maybe it was witchcraft, or simply not God, and were guided to make their life decisions without Jesus in their hearts. The Bible says that God will punish their children to the third and forth generation. I see that. I'm living in that, in the center of it all like in the eye of the hurricane and destruction all around me. But thanks be to God there is an answer. Cause God will show love to those who really know Him and follow Him. Do you know Him ? Matthew 10:34-39 says: Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. For I have come to " set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in law against her mother-in law, and a man's enemies will be those of his own household. He who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it.        Do you really know Him ?

What Is God Teaching you.

Proverbs 20:30 Blows and wounds scrub away evil, and beatings purge the inmost being. What is God teaching you with your pain, or do you think like most people, it's all about the other person, it's their fault I am feeling this way, their making me  miserable. I'm innocent, God does not love me. Troubles and pain come into our lives often. And like we do not realize allot of the times, God is in control always. That means He makes things happen or He allows things to happen, it's as simple as that. We blame others for our pain and point the finger. When we should take responsibility for our actions and ask God, who is in control, what are you trying to teach me, or what do you want me to change because of this pain that You have either allowed or put in my life. God is a good God he always wants the best for us. Like a good father always wants his child to grow strong and go in the right direction. That's why I really believe that two things happen in life. The things that happen before we really know Christ, happen to lead us to know Him, and the things that happen after we really know Christ, happen to get us closer to Him and mold us to be more like Him. It's not easy to figure out what is happening as the pain comes in and determine the answer of what is God trying to teach you or change in you, Allot of prayer and asking God for guidance is probably necessary. And sometimes it's very obvious what God is trying to transmit to you. Always look up, no man or woman has any power or will ever have any power, to overthrow God. Proverbs 29:25 Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe. What is God teaching you or want to change in you today? Focus on that and you will gain peace, joy, love, understanding, self control and many, many more Good things, that we gain when we really know Him. And remember also For He says in Isaiah 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways my ways, says the Lord. 

He loves me.

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 2 Corinthians 5:17. The Lord will give strength to his people; The Lord will bless His people with peace. Psalm 29:11. You might think I'm not good enough, I am no good, I have sinned too much to come to Jesus. Let me fix myself first and then I will go to church. Or you may say, maybe it's not worth even being alive. God loves you and He will never leave you. If you have come to know Christ and have accepted Him as Lord and Savior your life will never be the same. It will change for the BEST !. He will get the bad experiences in your life and turn them around and make them blessings in your life. He will give you tools to battle, fix, understand and change your troubled moments and life, to even help bring hope and life to someone else, glorifying our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the giver of all good things. Some things though, may take time and somethings the Lord may remove immediately. But we must trust Him in all situations because He is all knowing. He knows just how to mold us, like a potter molds his clay to achieve the ultimate work of art. Just like, He knows how to guide us into all things as we obey Him, as He makes us more and more like Him bringing us more love, peace, joy, self control and many more good things. Jesus will change us and build us up for greatness for His purposes, if we accept Him, follow and obey Him with all our heart. So be strong and don't give up and stay faithful to Him. Joshua 1:9, Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, or dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.   

Beware Of Who You Get Counsel From.

For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6. The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life , and that they may have it more abundantly. John 10:10. But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. John 14:26. Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Matthew 7:15-16.  Who do you get counsel from ? Well, it should not likely be someone that does not know the Lord. And if that person knows the Lord, it would be best if that person was a mature Christian. Godly counsel, that will guide you and put you on the right and proper path normally, does not come from an unbeliever or a fortune teller or anyone that does not genuinely know Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Though we must obey our parents, authorities, our husbands, love our wives and whatever scripture directs us to do, and we may need to see and get medicine from secular doctors too. But genuinely are not going to obey someone telling you to get drunk for example, lie, cheat, commit a crime, or anything that may go against God. Because in the long run it all comes down to obeying God for the most positive outcome for your life. Jesus is called a Counselor for a reason. And a very good reason. For He created the world and everything in it, including the human being. And if He created the human being, which He did, would He not Know how it would work properly, think properly, act properly and set that person's life in a path which he is designed, by God to achieve. Jesus came to bring us Life in abundance. Not destruction in abundance, which we choose when we do not accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior and then follow His ways. We choose not to accept and follow and choose our own lost and selfish ways, to bring glory to ourselves instead of the Mighty and living God. And their are many of these type of persons, in this world we live in. They know of God but do not know Him as Lord and Savior. Even the devil knows the word of God, but does not follow Him or know Him as Savior. Who do you get counsel from ?   

When Everything Goes Wrong.

Have you ever felt sadness, despair and pessimism regarding the future? Maybe all your dreams never materialized, your dog dies or all that you hoped for that you thought for sure was going to happen never came to pass. You might feel God has abandoned you and there is nothing worth while to move forward towards. But there is. " Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:31." and, " Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him, my Savior and my God. Psalm 42:5. " God will never abandon us. He will never leave us. We must always be aware that God knows whats best for us. We must always trust in Him and not in ourselves, thinking we know what is best for our lives. He knows the recipe and the ingredients we need to do His will, and I repeat, His will, not ours, in our lives. He knows what will overpower us and make us fall. He knows what is just too much for us and probably destroy us in the process. But sometimes we must wait much more than we expect, His timing is always precise. In all instances though, we are serving the almighty God and as much as we might not want to, It must be His will not ours. Things will work out for the best when we do things His way, it will be much more fulfilling, even if you do not see or experience it right away. You must keep going, trusting in Him always like a good servant and soldier of God. And if medical attention is needed, that must be done too. He is always working for your good in the background and even in front of our eyes. He will never, never let you down.
