Watch Those Promises

Diane Reid

Then the Lord said to me, “You have seen well, for I am watching over my Word to perform it”.  Jeremiah 1:12 God doesn’t give His word lightly.  He doesn’t make promises and then change His mind.  I have learned the hard way how difficult it can be to keep promises.  My son reminds me from time to time of promises I’ve made that have slipped my mind.  They don’t slip his mind, let me tell you.  He watches over my words to see me perform them.  I am held accountable for what I promised, and I have learned not … Continue reading Watch Those Promises

Peter Walks on Water

Diane Reid

Peter responded and said to Him, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to You on the water.” And He said, “Come!” And Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water, and came toward Jesus.  But seeing the wind, he became frightened, and when he began to sink, he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!”  Immediately Jesus reached out with His hand and took hold of him, and *said to him, “You of little faith, why did you doubt?” Matthew 14: 21-28 Peter and the disciples with him were following Jesus’ instructions. They were told to get in the boat and … Continue reading Peter Walks on Water

Faith Comes by Hearing

Diane Reid

So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17 Every healing Jesus provided in the New Testament had one common piece. Even though the method changed this piece was present, either in the individual in need of healing or those around him.  And that element was faith!  Faith is simply believing the words of Jesus. If He said it, He meant it, if He meant it, it must be true. Our job is to settle the issue in our heart.   So the obvious next question would be – how do I build my faith?   … Continue reading Faith Comes by Hearing

Everything Is All Right

Diane Reid

When he saw her in the distance, the man of God said to his servant Gehazi, “Look! There’s the Shunammite!  Run to meet her and ask her, ‘Are you all right? Is your husband all right? Is your child all right?’” “Everything is all right,” she said. II Kings 4: 25-26 Her son had just died. The son the prophet of God (Elisha) had told her she would have even though she wasn’t even asking for one and she begged him not to get her hopes up. But, she became pregnant and gave birth to a son just as promised. … Continue reading Everything Is All Right

God’s Word is Medicine

Diane Reid

My son, pay attention to what I say;    turn your ear to my words. Do not let them out of your sight,    keep them within your heart; for they are life to those who find them    and health to one’s whole body. Proverbs 4: 20-22 Faith for healing can waiver. We may start out strong in faith but as time goes by and the healing hasn’t manifested, our hope can waiver. Whether we are in need of physical healing or emotional or mental healing, God has promised to make us whole. We may believe that it is God’s will to heal us but resting in that … Continue reading God’s Word is Medicine

Healing in Communion

Diane Reid

For anyone who eats and drinks (the Lord’s supper) without recognizing the body of the Lord eats and drinks judgment on himself.  That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep.  I Corinthians 11:29-30 Most of the time when I have taken communion, the message preceding it has been about the forgiveness of my sins.  I only recently came to see this in a different light.  Jesus said we are to take the bread and the wine in remembrance of Him.  We are to remember what His sacrifice was all about … Continue reading Healing in Communion

Jesus Heals for Free

Diane Reid

You know of Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed Him with the Holy Spirit and with power, and how He went about doing good, and healing all who were oppressed by the devil; for God was with Him. Acts 10:38 Jesus went about doing good – healing people from all manner of sickness and delivering them from the oppression of the devil. All one has to do is read through the gospels to see this. And to also see that He never asked for a co-pay or a tithe or an offering. The healing He provided would require a payment but not from … Continue reading Jesus Heals for Free

Trust in God’s Unchanging Word

Diane Reid

The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever. Isaiah 40:8 My yard, which starts out so green and beautiful in the spring fades to yellow and becomes not so beautiful in the summer. God created the seasons and the seasons change. As they change, they also change the appearance of the natural environment around us. This change is predictable. Unfortunately, not all changes are predictable. The doctor’s report that rocks our world and leads to more questions than answers is definitely unpredictable.  We know when to expect the seasons to change – when fall … Continue reading Trust in God’s Unchanging Word

Genetics

Diane Reid

The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being …. Hebrews 1:3 My daughter is trying to pin her bad memory on me. Says its genetics. She offered eye-witness accounts to support her case, but I can’t remember what they are. Genetics are funny things. I have four children, three with the same genetic pool and yet the differences between them are incredibly noticeable. This leaves me scratching my head about this genetic thing. There had to be more to that duplication than just genes. The Bible tells us that Jesus is the exact representation of God. … Continue reading Genetics

If Only God Would

Diane Reid

Moses responded, “Then show me Your glorious presence.” Exodus 33:18 Moses had been given the unenviable task of leading God’s people to the Promised Land. God assured Moses that he would not be going alone, God would be with him and would look favorably upon him. But Moses wanted more. Maybe he was thinking something like, “Maybe I could do this if God would only __________.” Moses filled in that blank with “show me Your glorious presence.” When called to go through something difficult or stretching, what would you fill in that blank with? Heal me, make my path straight, make my … Continue reading If Only God Would
