Fellowship with CindyisHis (3b)

[ralangley]

Don't ever let a sense of condemnation, or a "it's too late now" thought cross your mind. Put it out now. If you yield to God this very moment, offering Him your life to do with as it pleases Him, then He will take it. Moment by moment, choice by choice, as you obey Him you will be walking out His plan for you. One very powerful statement John made, among many, was "It's not how you start the race, but how you finish." Your life is not over, my friend.

I'll tell you something else, you've been a powerful voice here on this thread, and a comforting voice too many a time for me to think you're missing it. I'm very thankful to know you. And I do believe there is much more on the horizon.

Thank you, sweetie. I needed to hear that.

Yeah, me too!

Meditating on being made whole today. Is these a connection between extravagant worship and being made whole beyond just believing and receiving?

Luke 17:11-19 While traveling to Jerusalem, He passed between Samaria and Galilee. As He entered a village, 10 men with serious skin diseases met Him. They stood at a distance and raised their voices, saying, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!"
When He saw them, He told them, "Go and show yourselves to the priests." And while they were going, they were healed.
But one of them, seeing that he was healed, returned and, with a loud voice, gave glory to God. He fell face down at His feet, thanking Him. And he was a Samaritan.
Then Jesus said, "Were not 10 cleansed? Where are the nine? Didn't any return to give glory to God except this foreigner?" And He told him, "Get up and go on your way. Your faith has made you well." HCSB

Take a look at the last phrase, “Your faith has made you well.” Something happened in this one man that did not in the other nine. All were cleansed, all were healed, but only one was made well.

The Greek word for well here is “sozo”, meaning save; make well, heal, restore to health. It also means rescue and is found 118 times in the New Testament. One man was completely restored to health. The other nine were healed and cleansed. What is the difference?

The word cleansed comes from the word “katharezo” meaning to make clean, in this case to make clean by curing. The serious skin disease of these men was leprosy, as most versions read. Under the Mosaic law of the Jews it was necessary for a leper to be pronounced clean after having been examined by the priests before they could return from their quarantined state into society again. Jesus, in keeping with the law, as He came not to do away with it but to fulfill it, cured the ten men and sent them to the priest to be pronounced clean. Interestingly, it was as they were going they were cured. All of them had to act on the word of Jesus before they saw results. When they heard Jesus tell them to show themselves to the priests, they knew that meant they were healed. But one man came back. He received something more.

All cried to Jesus for mercy, and merciful Jesus healed them all. But one alone returned to thank Jesus. With a loud voice he unashamedly gave thanks to the Lord falling at His feet face down. It didn’t matter who was looking or what they thought, he had to thank Jesus. The gratitude in his heart was greater than the excitement of showing the priests and being pronounced clean. Though he may have yearned to see his family again, that could wait. He had to thank Jesus. He received more than the others. They were all healed, but he was made well and restored to health. What does this mean?

Leprosy is a disease that eats away at the skin and goes on to eat away flesh and even bone. In more advanced stages limbs can be gone. It could be they all received healing in that the disease was stopped and gone from their bodies, yet the devastating effects may have left their mark. However, I believe this man was completely restored. It may have been a finger that had been missing, now appearing before his eyes as he worshiped the Lord. He probably didn’t even know it yet as he was face down, thanking Jesus with a loud voice. His whole being was set upon the one who had made him clean. Then Jesus said, “Get up, your faith has made you well.” Could it be he was so absorbed in Jesus he didn’t even know he was restored to health till Jesus told him “your faith has made you whole“?

God has spoken. He has sent Jesus, the Living Word, to heal you. You are healed and cleansed. Will you return to thank Him? Will you bring Him glory as you worship Him? Will your worship be so great that you become aware of how loud you are getting? Does the gratitude outweigh the thoughts of what others may think?

Look at what He has done for you! He has healed you! He has borne your sin, your pain, and your sickness. Jesus took your place. Oh how He loves you!

Give thanks today. Whatever you are doing cannot be more important than giving thanks to the one who paid so dear a price for you to be made whole.

Thank you. Things are a bit better, not entirely resolved, but better. I refused to speak the problem, lest tears spring up in my eyes as my faith fails. I looked to the Lord, and He sustained me.

Crying dear sister is not a failure of faith.. for every tear is collected and stored..

I think when our emotions come into play and seem to take over..

It is best to take them to the LORD.. and let them out with HIM.. rather then address something that is overwhelming.. I call it my "superman moment" LOL..

Go to that private booth and get the supernatural change over.. see that you are in power and strength of the LORD..

It is so okay to be weak because GOD is still with us in that moment for the LORD has promised HE is with us and HEis our strength.. but it is dangerous to just flow with it right at that moment otherwise it can so easily overtake us and it is so easy to sin.. unless we can see and know we are in that secret place of the most high.. under the shadow of the almighty.. We will not feel like it or act like it..

When we are in that place.. and sometimes a few moments alone with GOD is where we can be who we really are in CHRIST... we are not able to be overcome and defeated.. THEN we are the conqueror with CHRIST..

Dear LORD I thank YOU for the victory Cindy has right now.. LORD she is in that secret place of the most HIGH right now.. and I declare she is the overcomer and tears or no tears.. she is victorious through CHRIST! Amen

 

[CindyisHis]

I do know what you are saying. I'm saying something a little different in this instance. I am not at the point of tears. There was a moment when I reiterated a statement made by my husband to me, a very distressing statement, to the lady who lives with us. Just to let her know the severity of the situation and how it may affect her. Only then, when I spoke the negative, when I spoke the problem, did I feel the tears stinging my eyes.

All the rest of the time I have refused it, like I did not hear it. And I have been able to cope.

I did ask the Lord to reveal to me what I have done wrong, if anything, and to give me wisdom. I am so ready to take responsibility for my wrong actions, if I knew what they were.

I believe the words I speak are very important, the words I speak to my husband, the words to my daughter, and the words that play in my head. If I believe my husband will carry through with what he said and speak his words, I will cry. But I don't believe it, and now I am seeing things turn around with my own eyes.

 

[peacechild4]

Sweet sister.. I do not know what you are saying of course..
The LORD is already victorious over your situation and YOU in HIM.. live from that victory.. You already have HIS wisdom.. You have HIS peace.. YOU have HIS blessing and favor..

Superman moment. Lol I like that.

A makeover, of the highest the kind.

Dear LORD I thank YOU for the victory Cindy has right now.. LORD she is in that secret place of the most HIGH right now.. and I declare she is the overcomer and tears or no tears.. she is victorious through CHRIST! Amen

Yes, I am! Thanks!

Yes, He is my strength.
This has affected me so deeply I was very weak at work, I almost thought I was going to pass out a couple of times.
I didn't.

Then hubby called me at work, to pick up 3D glasses on my way home for the Superbowl, and closed the conversation with "Love you."


It's getting better.

Weak as I was, and very tired, emotional exhaustion, I stopped at the store, and then made him lots of his favorite things to snack on. He's happy. He'd be happier if I watched the game with him, which I did for a bit, but..........not my cup of tea.

I want Jesus.

 

[CindyisHis]

Isn't this interesting, particularly the last part.

INTERESTING FACTS —– NOTICE LINK AND MAP AT BOTTOM
Some unreported stats about the 2008 election
Professor Joseph Olson of Hemline University School of Law, St. Paul, Minnesota, points out some interesting facts concerning the 2008 Presidential election:

This is good.. YAY our God works through everything.. even the Super bowl..

A Wife's Super Bowl Resolution; I WILL Bless My Husband by Not Just Watching It With Him, but Enjoying the Experience

It is possible to break the shackles of ingrained routines to bond with, and bless our husbands in such simple ways. Life is short, after all; seize the moment.
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]

[/FONT]Super Bowl Sunday will find me, as always, racing home from church to perform the standard services for my foot-ball loving husband; hosting a party replete with pizza and/or barbecued chicken wings, sugar-laden drinks and snacks, and any number of other various artery clogging chips and dips.

There was a time, long ago, when watching football with my husband was actually fun. But, since the Bronco's won their last Super Bowl game in 1999 I have had little interest in football. One must, I reason, either live in close proximity to a professional team or hail from a locale that supports one; the more rabidly loyal, the better. Like Green Bay, or Chicago, or Denver. I fail on both counts, having grown up in Iowa and then moved, after a three-year stint in Colorado, to the primeval backwoods of Oregon.

I think—I know—my husband misses my enthusiasm. I could say I've tried to at least appear interested in football, but I haven't. Over the course of the last 20 years, I have found other distractions far preferable. I'm not a shopper, not one to spend a Sunday at the mall, but give me a book, a newspaper, a computer screen, anything but a chair in front of the television set where I have to sit watching two testosterone-driven teams throw a football back-and-forth for three hours.

For some reason, I was recently reminded of a conversation about the differences between men and women that I had several years ago with my now-deceased mother. Like me, she had little interest in football, even though my father—who also loved boxing—was an avid fan.

"All your father does is watch football," my mother said, half-jokingly.

I remembered watching boxing matches and football games with my father when I was young, and a wave of nostalgia washed over me. In retrospect, they were bonding times between my father and I, whether he was aware of it or not.

"True," I replied. "And I can relate myself, Mom, but how hard is it to sit down and watch a football game once in awhile with our husbands? I mean, it's such a small sacrifice to take the time to share in the experience with them."

Which brings me to Super Bowl Sunday this year and the resolution I've made to take my own advice and actually sit down and watch the game. Not just watch it with my computer screen in front of me, glancing up whenever my husband hollers, or with my nose buried in a book. But actually try to engage in the game and share in my husbands excitement.

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]

[/FONT]I'm not expecting tit-for-tat mind you, but dare I hope my husband might bless me in return by spending a weekend watching chick-flicks with me? LOL.

 

[CindyisHis]

Ouch. Oh me. Do I have to? Isn't there things better to do with my time? Who wrote that anyway. Should we stone her?

 

[peacechild4]

It is good dear friend.. it is freedom to you.. God is showing HE works in ways I cannot even fathom and far beyond my understanding.. HE is teaching it to you... go with it all the way and find joy.. great great joy..
