06. SICK - WHILE MOST PEOPLE today accept disease and death as 'normal' parts of life, they were never God's original intention. When the World was first created, the Bible records, "Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good" [Genesis 1:31]. Disease and death only entered the World after Adam and Eve disobeyed the Lord and allowed satanic forces 2 gain a foothold on humankind [Genesis 3]. When Jesus came 2 Earth, He announced that God's Kingdom was at hand. He healed the sick, cast out demons, fed the multitudes, and raised the dead. All of this was a demonstration of the Blessings God intended at His original creation. If u or a loved one is in need of healing today, remember that Jesus is your Great Physician. When He preached the Gospel of the Kingdom, He healed "ALL kinds of sickness and ALL kinds of disease" [Matthew 4:23]. So no matter what kind of healing u might need, Jesus is ready 2b your Healer!
Beloved, I pray that u may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. 3John2

Break up your fallow ground, 4 it is time 2 seek the Lord, till He comes and rains righteousness on u. Hosea 10:12
I know your works, that u are neither cold nor hot. I could wish u were cold or hot. So then, bcoz u are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit u out of MY mouth. Bcoz u say, "I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing"--and do not know that u are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked--I counsel u 2 buy from ME gold refined in the fire, that u may be rich; and white garments, that u may be clothed, that the shame of ur nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes w/eye salve, that u may see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent. Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears MY Voice and opens the door, I will come in 2 him and dine w/him, and he w/ME.

Deuteronony 8:11-14
The backslider in heart will be filled w/his own ways, but a good man will be satisfied from above. Proverbs 14:14
Today, if u will hear His Voice, do not harden your hearts...Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of u an evil heart of Unbelief in departing from the living God; but exhort one another daily, while it is called "Today," lest any of u be hardened thru the deceitfulness of sin. For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast 2 the end. Hebrews 3:7-8,12-14
Prayer: FATHER, restore my passion 4 You and Your purposes. Deliver me from apathy and lukewarmness. Remove anything in my life that is hindering my intimacy w/You. Lord, forgive me 4 the earthbound perspective I've had. Instead of living 4 the things of this World, I want my life 2 reflect Your eternal purposes.

I will stand my watch and set myself on the rampart, and watch 2C what He will say 2 me, and what I will answer when I am corrected. The Lord answered me and said: "WRITE the VISION and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it. For the VISION is yet 4 an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Tho it tarries, wait 4 it; bcoz it will surely come, it will not tarry. Habakkuk 2:1-3
Indeed, let no one who waits on You be ashamed...Show me Your ways, O Lord; Teach me Your paths. Psalm 25:3-4
Prayer: FATHER, still my anxious heart and teach me 2 wait on You. I need You so much! Help me mount up like an eagle that is soaring 2 new heights. Lord, I need fresh vision 4 my life. Show me Your ways, and show me Your plans 4 me. As I wait on You, give me new strength and courage 2 carry out Your Will. Help me take time 2 meet w/You every day, Lord. I celebrate this day of new beginnings in my relationship w/You. In Jesus powerful Name; AMEN!
