"Healed!"


"But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was 
bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace
 was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed."
(Isaiah 53:5)


The Lord Jesus Christ

It's the anxious cry of the whole world; people in every Nation, kindred, and tongue need healing of body, soul and spirit.  Bodies are sick; minds are sick, and spirits are sick.  We need to be "Healed!"

We are not forsaken; our Lord Jesus Christ came to redeem mankind from all manner of illness, from all sicknesses; He came to make us whole.  The stripes upon His back were for our healing.  When He first started His ministry at about 30 years of age, He went about healing ALL, the Bible says.  He opened blinded eyes, raised the dead, healed paralytics, cast out devils, healed lepers, cured diseases, and people flocked to Him for help, for deliverance, for life, because only He can heal and make alive.  Many times, He was moved by the multitudes, so many in need, so many lost and afraid, so many without hope.  He IS a man of compassion, a Savior who knows what it means to suffer, a God who came in the flesh and felt the pain of the flesh, even as we feel unbearable and chronic pain.  Everywhere He went, He forgave sin, and He healed.

   "He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might
die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed."
(1 Peter 2:24)


Do you need a healing?  Are you suffering?  Call out to the One who knows how you feel; He knows your pain, and He is ready to touch you.  You say, "But, I've prayed for my healing so many times and I haven't received it."  How long do we pray for healing?  Until  ...  How many times do we have the anointed hands of a Pastor laid upon us for our healing?  Until  ...  How often do we keep going back; how many prayers does it take; do we just keep asking?  The answer is: Until  ...  Don't give up!  Today just may be Your day!  Sometimes our prayers are hindered by the enemy; sometimes it is a process in God; and sometimes we are healed immediately.  Sometimes, Almighty God uses medicine, doctors, surgery; and sometimes He uses the anointed hands of a Pastor or minister; sometimes He uses a prayer cloth, prayed over and anointed with oil, and sent to a faraway Nation.  Sometimes, it's a prayer over the phone, a prayer by someone on his/her knees for a missionary in Africa  ... sometimes, it's our cry to the lover of our souls in the wee hours of the morning, and He hears and answers.

"O, LORD my God, I called to you for
help and you healed me."
(Psalm 30:2)





 Thank You, Lord, for hearing my cry, for 
healing my body, for touching my mind, 
I thank You in advance, because I BELIEVE! 
I believe You died to save me; You suffered 
to heal me; You rose again so that where 
You are, I may be also.  Please forgive me
of all of my sins; cover me with Your blood;
fill me with Your Spirit;  I will be baptized
in Your name, and I will be a witness for you
every day of my life. Thank You, Lord.


When Jesus Christ was in earth, He spent most of His days praying and healing, lifting up and delivering, touching and raising up, because He cares.  He cares about You and me; He does not turn away from anyone who calls out to Him with an honest heart.  He ever longs for all people to call out to Him for salvation, healing, and love.  He will never leave you nor forsake you.  He is an ever present help in times of trouble; His arms long to hold you; His thoughts are always on you, me, and every living creature.  He is not willing that any be lost or perish.  He desires that we have joy unspeakable and full of glory, that we are filled with living waters, and that we live life abundantly. 

People did drastic things to get to Jesus; they tore the roof off and lowered a paralyzed man down into the room where Jesus was, because they could not get in; they climbed trees to be above the huge crowds to get to Him or to just get His attention; they risked everything and crawled through the crowd to touch even the hem of His garment; they said profound faith statements like, "Master, just say the word and my daughter will be healed."  These were all hungry desperate people, people who had tried everything else and nothing worked; people whose eyes were only on the Master and they were not worried about what others thought; people who just needed a touch of the Master's hand  ... 


Jesus will come to you; He's waiting.  Just lift your hand to the man who knows your name; lift your hand to the One who knew you before you were formed in your mother's womb; raise your hand to the Lord Jesus Christ who died for you, to save you, deliver you, and heal you  ...  Just lift your hand, and  be "Healed!"

"Lay Every Burden Down!"





"To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion,
to give unto them beauty for ashes,
the oil of joy for mourning, the garment
of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they
might be called trees of righteousness,
the planting of the LORD, that
he might be glorified."
(Isaiah 61:3)

It was hard to stay dead around Jesus Christ!  He likes people, places, and things to be ALIVE!  He still insists on Life, rather than death, today.  That's why He wants all of creation to be "born again," living in the "life" of His Spirit, rather than the dead and dying of this world.  If you ask Him, the Lord Jesus Christ will always prefer the best for you and me; the prospering soul, rather than the floundering soul; the power instead of stalemate; increase in wisdom instead of decrease in knowledge.  The glory of Almighty God's soul is always to see His creation arise from destruction and be renewed by Him in His eternal formula for Joy; it's come down to Jesus Christ and   ... "Lay Every Burden Down!"



Do you feel your life is in a state of perpetual "wait?"  Have your promises grown strands of dusty cobwebs?  Has your long desert existence replaced your hope with fears?  Have you "waited" so long that the light at the end of the tunnel is blurry, fading and darkening?  Rise Up!  It's not over until the Lord Jesus Christ says it over; your wait has built, in you, character, patience, diligence, and maturity of purpose within your soul.  The arrow in the quiver is, even now, being drawn by the eternal hand of God, and being readied for the bow, heading for the target.  How long did Abraham wait for his promised son?  How long did Joseph wait in the confines of prison walls?  How long did Hannah wait for the Prophet God wanted?  Hannah wanted a son, but God wanted a Prophet  ...  Have you dedicated what you're waiting for, to God?  Waiting is sometimes an ethereal reckoning in "our" minds that what is ours is actually His.  "What?" you ask.  He gives the best to those who leave the choice to Him  ...  Think about it  ...


The "beauty" that comes from ashes is a pure beauty.  All the dross has been burned away; the vessel rising from the deathly ash heap is a vessel of honor, prepared to arise at the appointed time.  And, when the vessel rises, the glory of God is revealed in the mirrored glow reflected from the face of Christ.  The potter's wheel, the desert place, the lonely pasture, the time in the quiver, the residence by the brook, the sojourn in the dark prison, the place of undeserved disease and illness, are all places of seeing the face of God.

You say, "How can I possibly see the face of God through disease and suffering?"  The fire burns away the veil covering the holy place of God's mercy; even as the veil of the temple was rent from top to bottom when our Lord Jesus Christ died on the cross, allowing us to enter the place of His power in the Holy Ghost; so is the veil of suffering an entrance to Him in the secret place He experienced Himself.  He is never closer to us than when we are suffering  ...  if we yield to Him "there"  ...


It's TIME to arise with joy and healing in your wings!  "How do you know it's time?" you ask.  It's time, if you "believe" it's time!  That's what our Lord Jesus Christ said, regarding Jairus' daughter.  What in the world is FAITH good for, if we don't use it?  The old saying "Use it, or lose it" applies here.  The more we use it, the more we realize it and see it operating; the less we use it, the less we see it manifested.  Don't give up!  It's time to stop wallowing in the ashes; rise up, stand up, look up, and be cleansed of all unworthy thoughts, negative pronouncements, and "BELIEVE" that your "Beauty" has a target headed for You!



There's ONE that rules and reigns, ONE that sits on the throne, ONE who heals and delivers, ONE who fills and subdues, ONE that has all power over all situations and dominions, ONE who can calm your seas and whisper sweet peace, and "that" ONE is the Lord Jesus Christ!  There is NOTHING in your life that He can't fix, that He can't heal, that He can't cast out, that He can't touch  ...  if you open the door and let Him in  ... 

Repentance is rising from the ashes; being filled with the Holy Ghost and speaking in tongues is emerging from death to life; being baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of sins is casting off the old self, the destruction of sin and sorrow, and arising a new creature, clean and worthy  ... 




Beauty for Ashes is all about LIFE and that more abundantly; we can all be raised from the dead  ...  dead in sin, dead dreams and promises, dead ministries and service to the Lord, dead hopes and vision, or dead in health issues and suffering.  The LORD Jesus Christ gives LIFE, and all He asks is that we "BELIEVE" and Push to rise from the ashes of death to the beauty of LIFE.  You have to want it; you must hunger for the Lord with the whole heart, soul, mind, body and strength, and lay those burdens at the foot of the cross. He is as close as the mention of His name!

"World Harvest"



"The LORD will indeed give what is good, and
our land will yield its harvest."
(Psalm 85:12)







The harvest is white upon the fields, ready for the gathering, by the reapers, who are called the Bride.  The name of Jesus Christ is flooding the earth, like a mighty surging Sea and ever flowing tide.  As it was in the days of Noah is the adage of the day, and so, the "dust" is looking to the heavens; the distant sound of the trumpet echoes in the air, and among the Nations, causing wonders and end time questions.  


Look up, O world, for the time is nigh, your redemption is
hovering right above your souls
Come now, warriors, it's time to traverse the fields, and
come out of the safety of your foxholes

The atmospheric pressure is conducive to a Spiritual invasion, with Spirit fire around the world. God's holy angels are shining crowns, polishing golden streets, and opening the Gates impearled.  A new chord is sounding in the portals of worship's winds, drawing Almighty God to attend.  His Holy presence is abounding in miracles, signs and wonders, causing heaven to descend.

As creation raises earth in the cries of joyous adoration,
for the lover of our souls
Heaven meets us in the middle, causing devils to flee, and
the skies of glory to unfold



There is no time or pause for procrastination, no time for falling away, it's time to be strong and full of faith.  The Church age is coming to a close, and the judgment is coming for the unrepentant and those full of hate.  Look up, O world, and rejoice in the God of your salvation; let your yea be yea, and your nay be nay.  Fence straddlers will not enter in; heaven is reserved for those who know the Truth and the Way.


He is The ecstasy in Spirit shaking earth to its foundation,
 stirring Nations like a rabid painting artist
There's nothing to fear, for it's the Lord's Church reaping the
earth, in an epic "World Harvest."
