Today's thought - 01 July 2026 (Anything)

 

So, yesterday I said, “It is not the sickness or the addiction but the very lie that binds us to it. And if that sickness means my end and I will spend eternity with my Lord, well I guess that is fine, because I will go home to my Lord”.

I feel that I need to add to this, because I do not mean that if a sickness will mean my end that I will just give up and let it run its course. I believe that God can heal anything, and I believe that with all my heart. I think it is almost as the situation with the furnace that Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were thrown in. It is simply that God can change any challenge, but if He does not, I will continue to praise Him for in both scenario’s I will be fine.

In Matthew 4 we read, “And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people”.

You see Jesus walked in the power of the Holy Spirit and as I told you before Jesus basically mimicked the way we should live our lives and especially the way we should walk with the Holy Spirit. Jesus on many occasions separated Himself from people to pray. His example of how much time He spend in prayer should be the blueprint that we should strive towards.

Now, what I am trying to say is that Jesus heals. He healed many people and He said, “Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you”.

In Mark 16 Jesus said, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well”.

God’s heart is to heal people. Not just of sickness but of everything that bounds them and keeps them from living a life of abundance. It is not that God does not heal, it is in our hearts and in our faith that we hold back, and God can’t work through us.

My dear friend, I keep saying this and maybe we should hear it often. Your walk and your intimate relationship with the Holy Spirit are vital to your life in the kingdom of God. It is when we live closer to Him that He will reveal all things to us and He will work His miracles through us. In His time and in His will and in His way. We need to step up and align ourselves with that and the only way is in the Word seeking more of Him every day.

Have an awesome day my friend.
