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

Vertigo is Gone!

Diane Reid

For two weeks or more, I would awaken every morning experiencing vertigo. It felt like everything in my head was spinning and I couldn’t even walk without holding on to something for support. Even then, the movement in my head didn’t stop. That sensation didn’t last long but it did keep recurring, a couple of times even later in the day. One night at church, after our praise time, Pastor asked if anyone had anything they believed God wanted them to share. A woman shared that someone was having problems with their head. Not like a headache she said but … Continue reading Vertigo is Gone!

Cheerfulness is Good Medicine

Diane Reid

A cheerful heart is good medicine, Proverbs 17:22 Years ago, when my son was 4 years old, he told me out of the blue me that Jesus just wanted us to play with Him.  At the time, I thought it was cute, it wasn’t until later that I realized how truly profound it is. Watch a child play and you will know they aren’t thinking about tomorrow, they aren’t dwelling on the past, they are focused on right now. My son asks me to play with him quite regularly.  And I do play with him a lot but sometimes I … Continue reading Cheerfulness is Good Medicine

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

Turning Pain into Praise

Diane Reid

Not all of my days go the way I planned them.  Some fall short of my expectations.  Sometimes pain interrupts my plans.  Sometimes it is because of something I did or did not do; sometimes it is because of something someone else did or did not do.  Sometimes my long term projects fall short of completion.  Sometimes my goals, my hopes, my desires get lost in the shuffle of today and all that it offers.  This verse speaks to me for those days: Though the cherry trees don’t blossom and the strawberries don’t ripen, Though the apples are worm-eaten  and the wheat … Continue reading Turning Pain into Praise

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
