Lead me to Your Healing Place
Sometimes we get to familiar with man’s adaptation of religion and forget it’s not our religion that meets our needs, wants and desires. The answers to our prayers do not come from our efforts, or the world or those around us.
While God can use anything and everything to meet our needs, because the universe is at His beck and call. The answers we seek stem from the way, the truth and the life He sent us in the form of a baby, who grew up to be the Saviour of the World!
It’s Jesus and only through Jesus where our needs are met on a daily basis and where our Healing comes from. All the self help books are great, along with all the discoveries mankind makes in the field of medicine, they are fantastic and great.
But all that is discovered and created by mankind’s effort for the betterment of society still stems from one thing, God’s Generosity and Immense Love towards us, to give it to us in the first place!
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son. That whosoever shall believe on him should not perish, but have eternal life!
While everything that happens to us (sickness, accidents, financial burdens and a host of other examples) seems as though is all too consuming. It seems that way, because our human nature tries to cope with everything as it happens to us.
It doesn’t have to be a spiritual groundhog day, every day of our lives! There’s a better way and Jesus is the way!
There are spiritual test to be taken along the path of our relationship with God through Jesus Christ His Son! But once they have been passed, they should be viewed as a faith building, growing experience and God expects us to move on from them, to the next level of our relationship with Him!
The accuser on the other hand, reminds us of frailty of human nature and tells us, even though we already passed the test, we should retake it starting with our own efforts of what can I do. Instead of Jesus lead me to Your Healing Place!

The Other day at work, we were looking for a tool. And everybody was looking for this tool, but coming up empty handed and I prayed Jesus lead me to that tool and started walking. Didn’t know where I was going, but I knew that Jesus was going to lead me to it by faith...And He Did! Jesus led me straight to what I asked Him for!
It’s the same way spiritually, for every believer who has ever walked the road of relationship with Jesus. If you ask Him for something, Jesus is bound by His word, His Fathers Promises, when you believe....to deliver what you have asked of Him!
God would have me remind you right now, at this very moment to never forget what you have been given and are entitled 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, for the rest of eternity!
As a believer, you are entitled to all of the benefits and promises God has promised you, delivered by Jesus, Completed and Finished Work!!
2nd Corinthians 1:20-22 NKJ.
20. For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us.21. Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God, 22. who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.
The MSG. says I this way,
20-22. Whatever God has promised gets stamped with the Yes of Jesus. In him, this is what we preach and pray, the great Amen, God’s Yes and our Yes together, gloriously evident. God affirms us, making us a sure thing in Christ, putting his Yes within us. By his Spirit he has stamped us with his eternal pledge—a sure beginning of what he is destined to complete.
Our yes and God’s yes equals a sure thing, and Jesus is the guarantor of the Promises made.
And TBS. He is always faithful to complete the work He starts, Praise God!
“always faithful” not sometimes faithful, or every other time faithful, but always faithful!
So many times, we hear God’s tremendous word like this with our ears, but not with our hearts! You see, promises can go through our ears and be forgotten like idle words and the accuser is counting on that happening like ground hog day, over and over...again and again!
But when your heart gets a hold of a promise, that’s when it becomes real to you and God above everyone else, wants your relationship with Him to be real and accessible to you! Amen?
