| Staying Out of the Maze of Confusion |
Knowing those things like viruses pertaining to ebola, coronavirus and even Sars are under our feet, still how many choose to proclaim it or them? Surely we are to be warned of what is raging? We should certainly know what is within our region and lurking within the community or the town next door. We certainly would not want to take a trip in a snowstorm when the safest place would be in a warm dry home or hotel room away from the wind chill factors that kill the average person in just minutes! Or you certainly would want to know that a bridge is out and no traffic is allowed especially if said bridge is connecting the roadway you are traveling on to get home to spouse and children . Still many will drive on through without heeding any of those truths given to them. And while some people have no regard toward those living around them with some underlying weakness that could cause them to die to the "unseen" yet living virus with at least two names right now, many are still being infected! Like the woman who found out she had it, and then yes, boarded a plane and flew from JFK to Florida and be arrested to being a typhoid Mary spreading disease. Yes, she is now in prison for doing just that.
In the first two or three weeks of this outbreak, I heard of how many were running to emergency rooms to get in quickly only to find out if they had the new strain of virus. But all they learned quickly was that they had long lines of people ahead of them. They could have asked us how fast they might get through those lines, for some five years ago we had been asked to go to the emergency room and ask for so-in-so and to have a blood transfusion for iron for me. But when we got there we were at the end of the line and yes, it was a long line. And one by one, each name called would head to the waiting nurse with her clipboard in hand . In regard to those checking us in at 5 pm, I had been given a chair to be wheeled around in, for in view of the man at the desk, he diagnosed my coloring as somewhat jaundiced! Yikes!
Those in line continued to go in and come out....and some we did not see come out and finally about 10:30 pm we got in....some five hours after we had arrived and the doctor said I needed a room and would not require iron but something more serious: Blood!
Indeed, we can know many things today and yet how do we forecast what is going on in our bodies? But many of those on that specific day were given things to help them get over an over dose of some drug they took and others, who did not have a regular doctor and they came for some kind of aid. Yet, all in some respect each had required some "help"!
You and I can do something to improve our health.
Everyday we must speak truth against any pretentious attitude that we are fine,
our blood pressure is normal and that we may only have a few pounds to lose when
reality speaks, it may appear a lot differently. Weight additions can mount up and blood
pressure can change from normal to real a "high" mark! But I also know making those choices to speak right words makes a lot of difference in whether we will be at peace or active in chaos on our street!
I know that between my husband and myself we made many changes and
still seek to change some things. We have also found my blood pressure is back
to normal like it was suppose to be. And yes, pounds are lost when avoiding
that sweet high road of sugar and carbs! We must be also be intentional to rid those same things out of our thinking...and yes, in our speaking......to remove the wrong from us!
God's word
equips us to take the needed steps to change our thinking and to make our body
line up with that TRUTH God has given us in the Holy Bible.
Choices are to be for the right
things that produce more life and not for death and dying.
On the road to Healthy Whole, we remember that this is the day the
Lord has made for us.....We are to be glad in it: Psalm
118:24 This is the day the LORD has made; We will rejoice and be
glad in it.
Through salvation, God turned things around for us! We have the
Holy Spirit to direct our way through what may appear as a maze of things that
might confuse. But when we truly ask Him for help with our body in mind, He
will direct our path into that which is of life.
I like what Charles Spurgeon wrote on Prayer and Spiritual
Warfare. He said and I quote here: I write this with all reverence: God Himself
cannot deliver who is not in trouble. Therefore, it is to some advantage to be
in distress, because God can then deliver you. Even Jesus Christ, the Healer of
men, cannot heal a person who is not sick. Therefore, sickness is not an
adversity for us, but rather an advantageous opportunity for Christ to heal us.
The point is, my reader, your adversity may prove your advantage by offering
occasion for the display of divine grace.
May Divine Grace appear for you in your road to health. If you
find you are in a darken place, and if depression seems to be everywhere you look,
then you are focusing on the wrong thing. We must have a focus on what He has
given us to run the race set before us! Depression can occur and many people
experience it at some point in their lifetime, but we have HELP from the Holy
One!
If we truly believe Jesus'
own prophecies of end-time
disease epidemics, we
had better be realistic about where we should put our ultimate trust! And I understand that today there are many, many people quick to trust doctors: "Don't we now have
penicillin and other wonderful drugs that can cure almost anything?" Yes, and some work indeed and others appear to cause more harm than good.
And as those sons we are seated in heavenly places, there is no sickness in the kingdom of God.
In that Redemption by His shed blood, we are the pardoned, and
the healed. He sent His word and healed us by delivering us from destruction's
like coronavirus, or Covid 19! Jesus healed the brokenhearted and He binds our wounds. This is an up close and personal Jesus who desires to restore to us
health and close any wounds of sorrow or grief that have festered from our
childhood!
Who pardons
all your iniquities , who heals all your diseases…..Psalm 103:3
He sent His
word and healed them, And delivered them from their destruction's: Psalm 107:20
He heals
the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds………Psalm 147:3
‘For I will
restore you to health and I will heal you of your wounds, declares the
LORD…Jeremiah 30:17
God has given us His Holy Spirit to not fear. He has given us
power, love, and a sound mind to prevail in all situations. Facebook was not given to help us out of a "mess". Abiding in God and not in our cell phone will bring the needed help right when we need it! We abide in Him, speak His wisdom and declare those things Jesus taught: man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. "You shall worship the LORD your God, and Him only you shall serve." You shall not tempt the LORD Your God".
Most certainly today, we see stadiums closed due this "virus thing". Yes those who managed a ticket to get through the front gate, can no longer get that ticket and go to that game they worshiped. They have to stay away in the case of virus that can kill a certain age group of people. But how many have gotten sick who are younger than say, fifty or forty years of age?
Holding fast the pattern of sound words and always cultivating a right relationship with His Holy
Spirit propels us into
the power of God for signs and wonders. And it is God Who answers, not because of you or me, but because someone out there is in need of great help. He answers to bring them closer to
Him, and not to us. His will be done in you
…and me……..who call on His name and according to His plan and purpose. May you excel into His excellence following His leadership into praying His
word for you and yours.
We speak His name, we lift Him high today, the personal name of Jesus ...we make mention of Him, declare His death was to give us life and in Him is the Faithful and the true. He came to bring the family of God back into unity with a relationship with the Father. Today we see and we speak the merciful justice of God that is the Gospel!
Today is
push back the devil day! Today we see your lies and clearly discern between our
Shepherd’s voice and any other voice! We take every thought captive of
coronavirus and exchange it for the word of truth as we thirst for You Lord and we
hunger for that truth of God daily. WE resist lying thoughts for we have the
mind of Christ. For where the enemy’s
lies of any kind of virus speaks, we have pushed back ……… by inviting the power of the
Holy Spirit to cleanse our minds.
Lord, You
have given us authority over all the power of the enemy. By that authority
given to us in Jesus Christ, we command all lying spirits be put far away from our minds, our spouses' mind and even our children
and grand-children’s minds.
Today we
proclaim that God has given us a sound mind. We will not entertain confusion,
but live in clarity. WE will not be tormented with impure, evil, negative or
sinful thoughts, but be transformed by the renewing of our mind, that we may
prove what is that good, acceptable and perfect will of God. (Romans 12:2)
“We
shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day,
nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that lays
waste at noonday” (Psalm 91:5-6) may the Spirit of the Lord rest upon us, “ the
Spirit of wisdom, and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the
Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD” ( Isaiah 11:2) Amen and Amen.
