So What’s Wrong with Crystals?

So What’s Wrong with Crystals?

Every few years the fad of crystals comes around again. I spoke to someone recently who wanted to know more about their healing qualities.  I’ll not debate the pros and cons of crystals. The problem lies with the place given them in our hearts. Jesus Christ is our healer. He was whipped with a cat-o-nine tails that we can be healed. (By His stripes we have been healed-1 Peter 2:24.)  In Isaiah 42:8 God says, “I will not give My…

God’s Prescription for Healing

God’s Prescription for Healing

In Numbers 21:5-9 we have an interesting story. The Israelites were complaining about being in the desert with no water and only having manna to eat. The Lord sent fiery serpents among the people. The bites turned out to be lethal. The people came to Moses confessing the sin of complaining against God and their leader, Moses. They asked Moses to intercede in prayer for them for God to remove the snakes. God answered telling Moses to make a bronze…

How to Pray Scripture

How to Pray Scripture

  On the National Day of Prayer in the first part of May, as I drove I heard someone on the radio praying for the nation from II Chronicles 7:14 which says, “If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.” As I drove, I quoted the scripture with the speaker and was…

When in High Waves

When in High Waves

Matthew 14:27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them saying, “Take courage, it is I; do not be afraid.” Jesus directed His disciples to row across the Sea of Galilee at sundown while He stayed behind to pray. After they had rowed for many hours in contrary winds they were worn ragged. Between three and six in the morning, they saw something coming toward them and were terrified. They thought it was a ghost. Jesus called to them to take courage;…

Judgment Day

Judgment Day

I Timothy 2:4 (God) who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. God desires all humans to be preserved from danger, injury, and peril. He wants to keep us safe and sound, and restore us to health. That’s what saving means. He wants everyone to enjoy Him and His is protective care. He wants to deliver us from His final judgment. Some people doubt there is a real judgment day. Jesus talked…

Jesus Power

Jesus Power

Matthew 9:6 (Jesus said) “But in order that you may know that the son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—then He said to the paralytic—“Rise, take up your bed, and go home.” The religious leaders of the day scoffed at Jesus when he told a paralytic his sins were forgiven. Jesus knew their unspoken evil thoughts against Him. He asked those leaders which was easier to say, “Your sins are forgiven,” or to say, “Get up and…

God’s Child

God’s Child

Colossians 1:13 For He delivered us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son. Before Jesus, we were under the power of Satan. We were bound to submit to his authority over us—whether we wanted to or not. When Jesus arose from His grave, it was the undeniable evidence that He defeated sin and death for all time. He extended this mercy to any who would yield their life to Him. When we…

God’s Gift

God’s Gift

I Peter 2:24 And He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness, for by His wounds you were healed. Jesus took the punishment for our wrongdoing that we might share in the inheritance of God. That we might walk blameless before Him. That we might be healed of the infirmities we experience in our bodies—our mind, soul and spirit. He came to heal that which is…

Jesus, Our Need-Meeter

Jesus, Our Need-Meeter

Psalm 147:3 He heals the brokenhearted, and binds up their wounds. In the Greek, this scripture not only refers to the healing of individuals. It also includes healing of nations and involves restored favor. Do you know any person or nation that is brokenhearted (is a wreck; is crushed or ruptured)? Some come to mind immediately. They need more than a bandage and a couple of aspirin. They need a major overhaul. No amount of human effort is going to…

Don’t be Afraid

Don’t be Afraid

Mark 5:36 But Jesus, overhearing what was being spoken, said to the synagogue official, “Do not be afraid any longer, only believe.” A synagogue official sought Jesus for healing. His daughter lay dying. On the way to the official’s house, a messenger arrived with the awful news. “Your daughter has died. Why trouble the Teacher anymore?” (Mark 5:35) Jesus turns to the father and says the scripture for today. The word “afraid” here is , “to put to flight by…
