Good Morning my Beautiful Sisters... My Honey is home today, so I won't be on here much but wanted to run through and wish the most God Filled Day that the Lord hath made... God Bless, and I will check-in back in, if my hubby helps his friend this afternoon.

Diana, yes I have lots of energy these days and I am taking advantage of it. Here it comes your way, Love...

Good Afternoon... I am having the confounded itching again so I popped me an Atarax. I guess I am going to have to take them every 8 hrs, so I can keep the antihistamines in my body at all times. I tried to stop taking them and boy did I have a double itching episode. I am not going to do that again... But I have not lost my joy...

Since we've been talking about healing, I found this article in a Grace Believing forum I'm on.

See what you all think.


Does God Heal Today? By Ron Knight

When answering the question of whether or not God is healing the sick today, we must first clarify and qualify just what the real issue is.

The real question is not whether God CAN heal the sick today, because the record of scripture is clear on the truth that "with God all things are possible" (Mark 10:27), and "with God nothing shall be impossible" (Luke 1:37). The real question is whether or not God has PROMISED, in His written Word to us today, to heal us SUPERNATURALLY or not. Is supernatural healing His Will or plan for us today? Is God operating a supernatural healing program for believers today; those who have put their faith and trust in the shed blood of His Son, The Lord Jesus Christ, and Him ALONE, for full payment of their sins?

Any student of the bible can, with only a small glance at the earthly ministry of our Lord Jesus Christ, see that a MAJOR part of His preaching to Israel about their "gospel of the kingdom" was supernatural healing! In Mat 4:23, as the Lord begins His earthly ministry, He goes about preaching and supernaturally "healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people" of Israel. In the next verse, 24, He continues to heal even more Israelites, as many as sought healing from Him, turning NONE away. Even when He commissions His 12 apostles later in chapter 10:5-8, He gives them His power to not only supernaturally heal the people of Israel, but even the power to "raise the dead" (See note at bottom of page about this practice today).

No doubt, part of our Lord's, and His earthly apostles' commission from God the Father was to preach the coming Davidic kingdom to Israel, and to supernaturally heal "all" manner of sickness and disease, up to, and including, death! So why this particular healing ministry? Well, Israel was created by God to be His physical, visible, people in the Earth to manifest His glory! As that nation manifested PERFECT physical health, and many other blessings of God to the other gentile nations, the gentiles would then seek the God of Israel. Therefore, our Apostle Paul says in Rom 15:8, that our Lord, during His earthly ministry, was "a minister of the circumcision (Israel, thru God's covenant with Abraham in Gen 12-18) for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the (Jewish) fathers". The Lord Jesus Christ, in fulfillment of God's Word to that nation, came as their Messiah. He manifested His Person as their Jehovah God by opening the eyes of their blind, the ears of their deaf, giving strength to walk to their lame, and speech to their dumb, etc., just as their prophet Isaiah said in Isa 35:4-6, as well as many other of their prophets. So we see that God had PROMISED the Nation of Israel in His written Word to them, that He would heal them supernaturally.

But what about the people of God today in the Dispensation of Grace, the Church, the Body of Christ? Has God PROMISED, in His written Word to us thru Paul (Romans-Philemon), to heal us supernaturally like He did with Israel? Well, first of all it is clear from all scripture that the human body is "fearfully and wonderfully made" (Psalm 139:14). We can praise our Creator, The Lord Jesus Christ, for all the healing properties He put in our bodies at creation, with the forming of our first father Adam. But unfortunately, with Adam's sin came death, and the corruption of this masterpiece of the human body. Our Apostle Paul says the following about our physical bodies of flesh: It is a "body of death" (Rom 7:24), it "perish" (2 Cor 4:16), and it is "vile" (Phil 3:21). In Philippians 2, and 2 Timothy 4, God allowed 2 faithful brethren in the Lord to remain sick...one even almost died. Even Timothy himself had to be prescribed some medicine from Paul in 1 Tim 5:23. It is no doubt to me that this prescription was also endorsed by Luke the beloved physician, who was also our Apostle's personal attending physician during his own sufferings of physical infirmities (Col 4:14).

Paul makes it clear that today, we believers in the Church, the Body of Christ, just like the whole creation, "groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now" (Rom 8:18-25). He says that because of the current "bondage of corruption", everything on earth, including our bodies, are subject to the pain and sting of sin and death. We as believers, are not immune from the effects of sin on our mortal bodies! It is part of the "gift" of suffering that the Lord gives us as His saints today (Phil 1:29). Unlike Israel, who when they suffered in their physical bodies, it was a sign from God of His disapproval of them (Deu 28:60), we as His saints today, can, like our Apostle Paul, "glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ can rest upon me" ( Cor 12:9). Even though our Apostle prayed diligently to the Lord thrice to remove his infirmity, the Lord DID NOT, but said unto him (and to us), "my GRACE is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness." God's grace message today is found in the 13 letters of our Apostle Paul! So although Christ did not remove Paul's infirmity, He did give him His grace to bear and endure (1 Cor 10:13).

So my friend, you too can learn to say with Paul, "most GLADLY therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me"! And although God has not promised to supernaturally heal us of all our sicknesses and diseases today like He did with the Nation of Israel, He does have a "far more exceeding and eternal" healing program for us called the resurrection, or the "rapture", or "catching away" of His church (2 Cor 4:16-18, 1 Thes 4:13, Phil 3:20-21, Tit 2:14). One day the Lord Himself will come back and deliver us from this sin cursed world and take us home to the Heavenly Places with Him. We will, at that time, get our new glorified bodies, just like He now has, and then function, operate and serve and fellowship with Him for all eternity in the Heavenly Places, in His Heavenly Kingdom (Rom 8:23, 2 Cor 5:1-8, Phil 3:21, 2 Tim 4:18). Even so, come Lord Jesus, praise ye the Lord, Amen:-)!

[Writer's note: Notice that NO ONE today ever raises the dead, which is the bible's ULTIMATE proof of a "healer"! In fact, have you ever seen anyone even "healed" of an amputed arm or leg, in which it grew back (Mt 12:10-13). I am sure all the wounded war veteran's who come back home all torn up could use their help. That would be a very convincing way to share Christ with them wouldn't it? Why are all the so-called "healings" today inward things (cancer, etc.) that can not be seen, nor confirmed like in the Lord's day? Or why, when you do not get your healing, do the so-called "healers" claim that you don't have enough faith (or money), or that there is some sort of "sin in your life"...what person on earth today does NOT sin...even them!? The Lord Jesus Christ could heal you based on someone elses faith, not your's (Mt 9:2)!

Why do some of the "healers" today wear eyeglasses? Can they not heal their own sight (Luke 4:23)? I even heard a "healer" on the radio preaching about the Lord's supernaturally healing thru him, and yet he himself was sick at the time he was speaking and had a cold in his own throat, coughing up a storm right there on the air:-)! When believers claim that God "healed" them, what do they say to all their brothers and sisters in Christ who pray to God and yet are not healed? No my friend, no matter all the claims of believers and non-believers alike of some "miraculous" or supernatural healing from God, the DEATH rate is still one apiece...we all DIE! God's REAL healing program and promise for us believers today is when He gives us our NEW bodies at the rapture. Til then we will all get old, get sick, hurt, and (if the Lord tarries) we will all die. And if you are honest, you know deep down in your heart that this fact is true, even in your own life. Why not seek comfort in the Word of His Grace thru your Apostle Paul's 13 letters Romans-Philemon?! Thank You.

Diana I know that God heals today. I have seen 3 Miracles in my Life so far.

If it had not been for God my younger Brother would have died when his skull got bashed in from a rock that the neighbor threw out of his yard. He is living today...

My youngest Brother was healed by God when he had cement thrown into his eyes when he was just a little boy. The Dr. said that my Brother should be blind, but he is walking around with perfect eye sight.

Whitney our oldest Granddaughter should have died at birth due to the Dr. having to take her early because Melanie had Toxemia ( not sure of the spelling), and her Blood Pressure would have killed her. We did not know for 72 hrs. whether Whitney would live or die. On the 3 day God spoke to me and told me she was healed. Right at the same time my MIL was praying for her at home and God spoke to her and told her that Whitney is fine. We praised God when we shared what God had told us together, besides praising him at the time. At the age of 20 Whitney developed Lupus, and the worst kind ever. She had CNS Lupus which causes inflamation around the Brain. Just a couple of months ago GOD HEALED WHITNEY OF LUPUS... She is off all her steroids now...

There are many more that I could post. I saw an evangelist with my own eyes, that could read through his plastic eye and he could read out of the socket without it in...

Another Evangelists Baby Girl got her fingers cut off by a rocker and after they took her to the hospital and treatment, when they took the bandages off, her fingers were there.

Do I believe that God heals people by Devine Healing today, you bet I do!!! Praise God.

[Determinedtolose]

I'm just throwing that out there to see what you all though.

Morning Ladies,

It's friday!!! TGIF. I believe God heals today. Katherine Colmen and Smith Wiggelsworth (1859-1947) were used by God to heal many people. Wigglesworth had told a man without feet to purchase a new pair of shoes, after putting them on and being prayed for, he grew new feet. I believe God heals today, sometimes people are miraculously healed instantly and other times their healing takes time.

I have to get going, so will chat later.

God BLess,

Good Morning Sweet Sisters...

I am having to take antihistamines 4 times a day to keep the itching down. I just wished I knew what is causing it, so I can get rid of it. At times, I itch so bad that I just want to give up, but I know that I have to keep going on. It is the worst after I take a shower for about an hr...

On devine healing...I forgot to add that it has to be in his will to heal for that person. We don't understand it all, but some day we will.

Have a wonderful Day...

[la.lady]

How is my Sweet Diana, Tammy, godsbeloved and Mary doing on this beautiful Day that the Lord hath made??? Now that Sweet is for all the ladies, too.

[Pcola Girl]

I was itching pretty bad this morning so I started taking my Atarax again. I am going to take one pill every 8 hrs. around the clock to see if I can prevent having the Flairs...

[la.lady]

[la.lady]

[la.lady]

Morning Ladies,

I had a wonderful day with my mother. We went out for lunch together and then went to the cresent beach, and walked along the beach. It was windy, but warm. A perfect, beautiful day at the beach and there was not that many there, so it was quiet and peaceful. We relaxed on a bench in the sunshine, enjoying the view and smelling the sea salt from the ocean.

We'd been having problems with tenants in our building, and unfortunately a hooker and a man had not been screened by an owner who had owned the condo and got in. It took much prayer and writing a letter of complaint, [3 weeks to be exact!!!], that finally got them ousted out of the building.

Now we can sleep soundly and what a blessed sleep it is!!! We are free to move about without fear now and our neighbours as well. We never gave up until they went, and God intervened on our behalf and promptly answered our petition(s). This teachs us as chritians to never give up on anything. God is always faithful and will intercede on our behalf to the Father, by the Holy Spirit.

"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him and he will direct your paths."

Have a blessed Sunday!!!

[la.lady]

Tammy I am so glad that you had fun with your Mommy today. Cherish all those times together.

It is just plain hot here today, and I am trying to get back of caffeine again and I am working in very slow motion. I really love coffee but it just does not agree with my stomach anymore. I am sleepy and thinking about taking a nap.

Have a great afternoon. I am having to fight hunger today, too, because of all the antihistamines that I have been taking, so I have been eating fresh squash today to hold me over until dinner.

[la.lady]

The going off of Caffeine is just not working for me. I passed out at 6:30 last night, so this is not going to work. I made me a pot of Coffee this mroning and I am to get my House Spotless...

Diana, Tammy, Mary, Godsbeloved, I just want you to know how much I Love You Girls, and I want you to have the best God filled day, ever!!!!

[Determinedtolose]

Good Morning Ladies!

I hope you all have a wonderfully blessed day! Mine started out weird, but the more I take the focus off of me and put it towards our Lord, it uplifts me! It makes my heart sing!

So what does that say? I need to not think about ME! But about HIM!

2 Cor 10:5
Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

Love Ya Ladies!

[la.lady]

Ladies I may have found what is making me have Chronic Itching.... I found out that, if you are allergic to mold, then not to eat hard cheeses, because cheese has to mold before it makes... That really does make sense, because I am allergic to mold and I have been eating 2 slices of Hard Cheese a day. Love the stuff, but I am going to stay away from it tomorrow to see, if that is what it is, since I have already ate some today and am itching bad right now...

[la.lady]

Diana Hi Sweetheart, and I am so glad you checked-in... Thanks for the scripture. I Love that...
