Pick Up Your Mat

-

One man was there who had been sick for 38 years.
When Jesus saw him lying there and knew he had
already been there a long time,
He said to him, “Do you want to get well? ”
“Sir,” the sick man answered,
“I don’t have a man to put me into the pool
when the water is stirred up, but while I’m coming,
someone goes down ahead of me.”
“Get up,” Jesus told him,
“pick up your mat and walk! ”
Instantly the man got well,
picked up his mat,
and started to walk.
Now that day was the Sabbath,
‭‭John‬ ‭5‬:‭5‬-‭9‬ ‭(HCSB)



Don't be trapped by the thoughts of past
‬‬failures or lies. Do not listen to those
accusations, but hear me. Quiet yourself
and listen for my voice. I will guide you
in the pathway of righteousness. I will
declare your purpose.

I remain the truth. In my way is life.
Come with me and grow. Become whom
I already see.

My Peace and Healing

When you pray, don’t be like the hypocrites who love to pray publicly on street corners and in the synagogues where everyone can see them. I tell you the truth, that is all the reward they will ever get. But when you pray, go away by yourself, shut the door behind you, and pray to your Father in private. Then your Father, who sees everything, will reward you. ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭5‬-‭6‬ ‭(NLT) Don't be surprised when I send people to you for prayer. Allow me to reach out through you to touch them.‬‬ I will give you the words which they need. I will work my ways through you. Speak my peace and healing into their lives.

considering the light

-
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.  The earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the deep waters.  And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters. Then God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.  And God saw that the light was good. Then he separated the light from the darkness.  God called the light “day” and the darkness “night.” And evening passed and morning came, marking the first day. ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭1:1-5‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) This is the message we heard from Jesus and now declare to you: God is light, and there is no darkness in him at all. So we are lying if we say we have fellowship with God but go on living in spiritual darkness; we are not practicing the truth. ‭‭1 John‬ ‭1:5-6‬ ‭(NLT‬‬)

Walk With Me

Now as Jesus was passing by, he saw a man who had been blind from birth. His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who committed the sin that caused him to be born blind, this man or his parents?” Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but he was born blind so that the acts of God may be revealed through what happens to him. We must perform the deeds of the one who sent me as long as it is daytime. Night is coming when no one can work. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” Having said this, he spat on the ground and made some mud with the saliva. He smeared the mud on the blind man’s eyes and said to him, “Go wash in the pool of Siloam” (which is translated “sent”). So the blind man went away and washed, and came back seeing.” ‭‭John‬ ‭9‬:‭1‬-‭7‬ ‭(NET‬‬) I am your strength. I am your shelter. Yes, I am all which you need. Allow me to guide you in the journey. Learn to walk secure with me. Don't be surprised nor discouraged by the enemy sets for you....
