I woke up this morning with a song in my spirit. It is a song that I learned when I was maybe 6 or 7 years old. It is the one song that always come to mind when facing hardship. Friend, God does not change. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. He is able. He all that He says He is. He is the Alpha. He is the Omega. He is the Almighty. He is able and willing to change any and all situations. Thrust Him and you will not be deceived. He is not far away watching over you. He is within you. He cares. Call on him in days of distress. Call on Him in days of great joy and be blessed!

"In Him all is peace. Yes peace, joy and happiness
because He forever lives in my heart.
My sin is no more. His blood washed it. By His love He saved me.
His promises are yes and Amen; therefore, my future is certain.
He is the key to every door: My days, my destiny, my life's purpose are all in His hand and His light will direct my path."

Friend, you do not have to worry. God has a plan for your life. That plan was put in place before you were even formed in your mother's womb. Trust God with your destiny. Worry and stress will not change a thing. Faith is the only thing that moves the hand of God. Have faith in God no matter what you hear, what you see, what the doctor says and you will experience God's glory. Do not panic. it isn't over until God says it is. Know that God will never leave you or forsake you. He cares. He loves you. He wants you well. No matter what you are facing this morning, you can have joy and peace. Listen, what is the loss of a job or a house in the grand scheme of things? At the end you are going to spend eternity with Jesus Christ. What can be better? When you have Jesus you have it all. War can come. Sickness and disease can come. Death can come. Christ overcame death. You can have peace. You can rest easy. Have peace in Christ Jesus!

Praise the Lord!

Prayer of Agreement

Again, I say to you, that if two of you are in agreement on earth about anything for which they will make a request, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. Matthew 18:19

Does God really mean such promise? The only way we can grasp the meaning of a promise like this or any of His promises is if we have real wisdom, "and if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him". (James 1:5). Why would He make such promise? He did simply because He loves us. God is love. He is motivated by love. It is almost impossible to trust His selfless love because we are not familiar with it here on earth. Now, "Quid Pro Quo", you do this for me, and I will do that for you is something we understand. We are always looking for motivation hidden behind a behavior. You and I should understand that God is dependable. He has power to keep His promises. He doesn't lie. He doesn't change. People chosen by God who accomplished something for Him chose to believe His promises. You can and should rely on His love and His infinite Wisdom. Moses trusted God and knew Him well because he said "God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?" (Numbers 23:19). What did God say in the last book of the Old Testament? "I the Lord do not change" (Malachi 3:6).


Now, the promise of giving you what two of you agree on is a promise that God will keep because God is the “Promise Keeper” and He keeps all of His promises. If you don't have anyone to share this promise with, ask God to send someone to you. "And all things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive" (Matthew 21:22) Pray with them for their specific need. They'll pray for yours. You may count us at Bible Tour as your prayer partners also, if you wish. His promises are powerful, because of His love.

Trusting is not something that comes naturally to us. It has to be attained. We go through life experiencing certain hurts and disappointments (cause by those who are supposed to love us), and they leave certain scars and these need to be recognized and be released if we are to learn to trust. A life that includes trust in God is a joyous life. It's difficult for adults to learn new "tricks", but trust is not as difficult as you may think; every attempt at trusting is one step closer. This coming year, we are going to take baby steps together. We are going to strengthen our faith together by reading God’s Word, and by encouraging each other.

Can we all trust God? Really trust Him? Can we trust Him with our hearts, our resources, our relationships, our health, our lives and our souls? Absolutely! There was nobody before Him and there will be nobody after Him. He is the Alpha and The Omega. He had no predecessor. He will have no successor. He is the source of all things. He is all things. He is the giver of life. He is life. He is the joy out of every sorrow. He is the light of every darkness. He's the peace that passes all understanding. He is the giver of every good and perfect gift. You can trust that He will keep all of His promises. Friend, you can and should trust God. Find a prayer partner and start praying. God is able!

I agree with you that God is changing your circumstances right now. Your loved ones are healed. Your body is healed. That job is yours. Your finances are restored. Your marriage is restored. Your tuition is paid in full. You are passing every test in school and in life. Your boss has a new found respect for you. The promotion is yours. Your enemies are subdued. Strongholds are broken. Sinful habits are destroyed. You are walking in victory and favor. You are blessed coming in. You are blessed coming out. Your sadness is being replaced with great joy. Your children are obedient and saved in Jesus holy name. Amen.

Praise the Lord!

My God Heals!

Heal me, O LORD, and I will be healed; Save me and I will be saved, For You are my praise. Jeremiah 17:14

"Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed" (Isaiah 53:4-5).

We already know that the Lord wants everyone to be saved (2 Peter 3:9). He also wants us to be well. God cares about every area of our lives. Naturally, our health is very important to Him. Beloved, I pray that in all respects you may prosper and be in good health, just as your soul prospers." 3 John 1:2

My friend, when you are going after your miracle you have to be persistent. You have to submit to God, stay in the word by meditating on healing scriptures, pray in faith, get some elders to pray and anoint you with oil and do not stop believing no matter what you and no matter what the doctors say. Faith is what move the hand of God and not the desperation of the situation, and worry definitely does not move the hand of God. "We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised." Hebrews 6:12

Some people get lazy when it comes to going after their miracles. They get tired of reading the word of God and they get tired of praying. God is our Jeovah Rapha, The healer of all diseases not just a few (Ps. 34:6; 3:1-8; II Sam. 22:1-7, 17-20, 31. He is the ultimate promise keeper. He does what He says and says what He means. He gives directions that we must follow if we want to experience His glory. The best attitude is not desperation after diagnosis. God gives a spirit of peace and self-control. When the doctor's report does not match the word of God, you need to believe God. The same power that raised Jesus Christ from death is in you. God is our healer. He heals the common cold as well as Cancer, Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, MS, Dementia and all the others that are rampant in the world. God made our bodies and surely is able to heal. Put your faith in God my friend and you will not be deceived. It is not over until God says it is.


As long as this world exists, we will have to suffer some form of disease. Yet, the Lord our God, Jehovah-Rapha, who loves us so very much sent His son to die for our sin and now we have eternal life and we can be healed. God does heal His people from all sicknesses and diseases. He "took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses" (Matt. 8:17). And he clearly tells us how to seek his healing power in our time of need (James 5:14-15). The Bible says that often the Lord heals us of sickness and disease by graciously preventing them (Ps. 91:4-16). Dear friend God cares. He wants you well. You can be well. You shall be well.

The name of God our Lord and Savior is Jehovah-Rapha. He is "the Lord that healeth thee." Exodus 15:23-26 tells us various things about sickness and divine healing.
Many people are afraid of certain disease because it runs in their family or because someone they love died of it. My dear friend it does not have to be that way. You can choose to trust God. Jesus died to break us free from generational curses. Disease, sickness and pain are not the will of God. They do not come from God. Our heavenly Father is good and only wants the best for us. Do no accept/agree with the liar. Believe the word of God. Trust in the Lord and His ability along with His willingness to heal you. Your health and everything else that concerns you is a priority to God. Trust him to restore health into you. Miracles still happens. You can trust God. He is able and willing to do great things for you. He is not intimidated by the name of the disease. Whatever it is the doctor says the test revealed is not greater than the blood of Christ. Choose life. Choose God' s word and be blessed and be healed!

We are healed and made free when we accept and make the work of Christ on Calvary personal. Jesus suffered those stripes to heal "YOU" personally. He took away your sickness and your pain. Accept your healing by faith and continue to meditate on the healing scripture. Do not be moved by doctor's report no matter what. Cling to the word of God. Meaning: read and meditate constantly. Let the word of God live in your heart until there is no room for doubts. Do not doubt God's healing power. The Lord still heals. He heals our body and our soul. He will heal you. This is the very name of God our Savior, JEHOVAH-RAPHA. "THE LORD THAT HEALETH THEE!"

Praise the Lord!
