    James 5:13-16 (New International Version)


    The Prayer of Faith
    13 Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise. 14 Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven. 16 Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.

    For you Susan with love,

    The sun can rise and shine brightly without your consent.
    The waves send water to fall upon the mountains.
    Flowers and weeds emerge out of the most minuscule seeds.

    The moon always travels across the sky, seen or not.
    Snow melts and freezes into ice, then melts some more.
    Baby birds open their mouths wide for worms.

    If all this can happen without your approval

    What would happen if you loosened your grip?
    Let down your hair?
    Spoke no words, but listened intently?

    Janice Stephens


    hugs,
    Carrie

    The Bible teaches that Satan tries to build strongholds in our lives. One way to identify the strongholds in your life is to watch for repetative situations that pull you down in spirit. We all know inside when something is not right in our life or is getting out of control. If that happens to you, seek God early to find out what is going on.
    Starting your day right - Joyce Meyer

    This probably sounds trivial but I am really having trouble with my eating habits. I could go every day and not eat any healthy food and just eat junk. It wouldn't bother me a bit. Of course, I would start feeling sick after a while and I wouldn't know why.

    I guess there is something here that I don't want to face. Don't want to do. A comittment I don't want to make. Self-control I don't want to exercise.

    The Lord created me and knows my faults. Why do I have such a hard time with them??

    The Angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him and he delivers them.

    Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.

    Fear the Lord, you his saints, for those who fear him lack nothing

    Psalm 34:7-9 NIV

    When King Jehoshaphat prepared for battle, (2 Chronicles 20: 15-18) he took the position of getting on his face to worship God. If you have battles to face, get in the position of warfare, and just worship the Lord. God's response to King Jehospaphat (and us) is, "Be not afraid or dismayed at this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God's.

    Luke 12:22-34 (NIV)
    22 Then Jesus said to his disciples: "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. 23 Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. 24 Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! 25 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? 26 Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?
    27 "Consider how the lilies grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 28 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith! 29 And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. 30 For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father knows that you need them. 31 But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well.
    32 "Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom. 33 Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will not be exhausted, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. 34 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

    A Bible study from my pastor:

    Do you ever feel like nothing is going your way? :>) Do you ever feel like nothing has gone your way for years?

    If you or anyone you know has / is feeling like this; today's study from Luke will probably be a great blessing for you.

    Luke 13:10-17 Jesus Frees A Woman From Satan’s Grip
    (Updated: 12.06.06)
    To view previous Bible studies from this book; you can go on line to www.theriver.ws ☺.
    Luke 13:10-17 (NIV)
    10 On a Sabbath Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues, 11 and a woman was there who had been crippled by
    a spirit for eighteen years. She was bent over and could not straighten up at all. 12 When Jesus saw her, he called her
    forward and said to her, "Woman, you are set free from your infirmity." 13 Then he put his hands on her, and
    immediately she straightened up and praised God.
    14 Indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, the synagogue ruler said to the people, "There are six days
    for work. So come and be healed on those days, not on the Sabbath."
    15 The Lord answered him, "You hypocrites! Doesn't each of you on the Sabbath untie his ox or donkey from the
    stall and lead it out to give it water? 16 Then should not this woman, a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has kept
    bound for eighteen long years, be set free on the Sabbath day from what bound her?"
    17 When he said this, all his opponents were humiliated, but the people were delighted with all the wonderful things
    he was doing.


    Vs. 11
    “… a woman was there who had been crippled by a spirit for eighteen years…”
    This woman can be a metaphor for Christ’s bride; the church (then and today).
    -Christ draws His bride to Him through the extravagance of His love.
    -What earthly bride would not be impressed with a lover who could heal her? ☺
    -His love is not one just of flowery words; but one of concrete action ☺
    -Like a true lover; Christ will throw aside all convention and accepted practice to come to her aid.
    -He will not let man made tradition get in the way of expressing His love to her.
    -This woman is a true believer; she is in church even after 18 years of not being healed. ☺
    -The true believer continues the walk of faith, regardless of their circumstances.
    -Satan may be able to cripple a believer but he can never control a believer!! ☺
    -We may have to go through a season of hobbling along; when we wish we could be running.
    *But even if it takes 18 long hard years; in the end, Satan is always going to loose!! ☺
    -It is true that living in a fallen world hurts the righteous and the unrighteous alike; but the
    advantage of being counted among the righteous, is that while we walk in this world; we can call upon the Creator of
    this world, by Name; because we have been adopted into His family!! ☺.
    In the original language; this verse literally says, “… a spirit of infirmity took a woman for 18 years…”
    -This part of Luke 13:11 is practically identical in sentence structure to John 19:1; which says, “Pilate
    took Jesus and had Him flogged.”
    -The devil, his fallen angels and his human underlings are all very real & very wicked.
    -Medicine & psychotherapy have their place; but only Jesus can heal/free His bride (and He has ☺).

    I have been recently diagnosed and am therefore very new to treatments, etc. I have gone through the whole discussion board and have been reading posts from each section in order to learn more. I was very greateful to find this section. I believe with all my heart that God is ever present in our lives whatever the circumstances. It seemed to me so much of the board was focused on the material means of threatment and not much was offered for those who feel that the addressing our spiritual needs is equally important. Then I found this thread. Thank you all. Your stories have been inspiring and I will be visiting this thread as often as I can.
