EMPOWERING LIVES WITH PURPOSE:
Many dear friends and family of ours are afflicted with sickness, disease, and hurt. It can all take a toll on many of us as care-giving souls because it’s definitely strenuous and difficult for the ones who love the hurting. Can you identify?
We need to pursue healing with them no matter the cost. The first way we can do this is through our prayer life. Commit them to prayer and pray for them without ceasing. PRAYER WORKS.
We also need to maintain God’s goodness and provision bestowed on us to share with them. Speak LIFE into them always. Do not be negative around them. (They probably get enough of that elsewhere.) You are the light of Jesus in their life! Speak it and walk it in your actions.
In order to be healthy, we need to notice the Savior has healing work happening in OUR own lives and then believe it. He is always working. Be the example of what you see God doing in your life. Think on beautiful things, and don’t dwell in sadness.
Our thoughts must flow with those of our Savior so we can carry them to those who need healing.
Let others know the God who performs miracles. Show them and tell them some of the wonders He has worked in YOUR life in order to give them hope.
Read them scripture. Here is a wonderful one to read:
“The Eternal is my Shepard; He cares for me always.
He provides me rest in rich, green fields beside streams of refreshing water.
He soothes my fears; He makes me whole again,
Steering me off worn, hard paths to roads where truth and righteousness echo His name.”
(Psalm 23:1-3)
Jesus wants to restore souls, and He will use YOU to help Him accomplish this. Be a voice of God awakening “new life” in your family’s and friends’ lives.
