Wellness Series
Well folks, we have made it to the finish line on wellness; and as you break the ribbon, grasp that you are now entering into a new dimension of your life. You are entering into the most wonderful powerful place.
Many times in the Bible, Jesus told the healed, “Go, your faith has made you well/whole.” Where were they to go? They were to go out and tell others what goodness the Lord did for them. They were to go out and tell their stories!
I am the resurrection and the life. And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all peoples to Myself” (John 11:25 and 12:32)
Health is not being afraid to share your story.
You have a message to give to a hurting hungry sin-burdened soul that will bring healing and beauty and life. Your life has changed; and Jesus yearns for you to do what He did: to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound; to proclaim the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn, to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness (Isaiah 61:1-3a).
You may look around and think to yourself: “Look at my life. These are the same people behaving the same way, the same school, the same workplace, same community, same-o-same-o things.” What you must realize now is that “they” haven’t changed. YOU HAVE CHANGED! Your response to life has changed. Instead of drowning in sorrow or bitterness when life throws you a curve ball, you now get down on your knees and thank God that: This, too, shall pass; and that I am coming out of it stronger than ever!
“They” may not appear any different on the outside, but, because you are made well/whole, it’s now time for you to transform your faith. It is now your turn to help them to be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord [through you] that He may be glorified (Isaiah 61:3b). “How can I do that when ‘they’ don’t appreciate me?” you ask?
Believing that Jesus merely exists is not the same as knowing that Jesus lives. Jesus is alive and actively working in the souls of men and women, boys and girls who take Him as their BEST FRIEND and COMFORTER. Most folks call on a friend when they feel down and out, and trouble seems to hit them on every side. Making Jesus your personal best friend does not stop the existence of trouble, but it won’t come near you because your new relationship with Jesus has moved you out of harm’s way and has placed you in the most wonderful powerful place (Read Psalm 91).
Making Jesus a friend so close to you, His presence changes the “inside” you empowering you to do what unbelievers can’t. You receive a foreknowing wisdom about things to come and a way of escape. You receive a protective wall around you that the devil cannot penetrate. You receive a supernatural ability to conquer and claim your purpose in life, to a see your dream fulfilled, to live a life of victory in abundance, to be overwhelmingly blessed to bless others exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us (Ephesians 3:20).
Satan used Eve to bring man down in sin and shame. Jesus used another woman called Mary Magdalene, formerly possessed by seven demons, to become the first ever evangelist on earth (Mark 16:9-10). Your beginning and the mistakes you’ve made are over. You need to stop wandering, dear brother, dear sister. You keep going to the past as if you forgot something and are looking for it. There’s nothing there. There’s no one there. Leave it permanently and move on. What’s in front of you is what God, our Father, wants you to get.
Now, boldly take it, claim it, use it, work it; and rejoice as your harvest multiplies!
I sing because I’m happy. I sing because I’m free. His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.1
Making Jesus alive in every situation of your life changes your relationship from believing in a “ghost” who abides up there in heaven to having a REAL “friend” who sticks closer than a brother and is who is with you wherever you go. “Go!” Be a blessing to others calling on the name of Jesus!
