God’s Covenant of Peace

Diane Reid

Though the mountains be shaken    and the hills be removed,yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken    nor my covenant of peace be removed,”    says the Lord, who has compassion on you. Isaiah 54:10 Mountains may not be shaking around you and hills may not be removed, but there are so many other things that can rock our world – disease, relationships falling apart, bills stacking up, death of a loved one. The list goes on and on. Some of what rocks our world are things that are out of our control and some are the result of poor decisions we made. No judgement here, I … Continue reading God’s Covenant of Peace

Take Time to Play

Diane Reid

A joyful heart is good medicine… Proverbs 17:22 Standing in line at Walmart the other day, a boy about 4 years old came up to me and showed me his cookie he had gotten in the bakery. I saw the chewed up cookie in his mouth before I saw what was left of his cookie in his hand. He was shopping with his grandfather. I asked the boy what he was doing today and he said playing. Just playing. But he was quick to add that he plays everyday! We must have become fast friends because when he left, he gave me … Continue reading Take Time to Play

Double Minded Man

Diane Reid

If you don’t know what you’re doing, pray to the Father. He loves to help. You’ll get his help, and won’t be condescended to when you ask for it. Ask boldly, believingly, without a second thought. People who “worry their prayers” are like wind-whipped waves. Don’t think you’re going to get anything from the Master that way, adrift at sea, keeping all your options open. James 1:8-9 MSG I like how the Message Bible puts this. Other versions refer to this as being a double minded man. I believe in divine healing. I believe it is for today, for you … Continue reading Double Minded Man

Real, But Not Final!

Diane Reid

I am the Lord, your Healer Exodus 15:26 I suffered a head injury when my grandson’s hang board fell on me. I had forgotten it was there and pushed his door open slightly to bring him some food. He is recovering from a fractured knee due to boulder climbing and has difficulty walking to get food and so I deliver! Pushing the door open a tiny bit was all it took and bang – the hang board hit me on the head and I hit the ground. A bump the size of half a ping pong ball sprang up. So … Continue reading Real, But Not Final!

Looking Unto Jesus

Diane Reid

Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith… Hebrews 12:2 Some of the most hurtful words spoken to someone who believes in healing when the healing hasn’t manifested are – “you don’t have enough faith.”  I know people who have been terribly shamed by this including me. When I heard these words, I did what some teachers of divine healing recommend. I began to build my faith, which put my focus on me and what I was doing or not doing. Since I had no way to measure my faith, it was a very frustrating experience. I found … Continue reading Looking Unto Jesus

Healing is a Gift of God

Diane Reid

But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. Isaiah 53:5 Recently, a couple of co-workers surprised me with a gift basket they had made. It was filled with wonderful treats of all kinds – bath, lotions, teas and chocolate. It wasn’t my birthday or Teacher’s Appreciation Day or Valentine’s Day. In fact, there was nothing special about that day until they handed me that gift. I didn’t earn it or ask for it. It wasn’t a reward or a bribe or something given out of obligation. … Continue reading Healing is a Gift of God

Praise Before Victory

Diane Reid

As they began to sing and praise, the Lord set ambushes against the men of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir who were invading Judah, and they were defeated. 2 Chronicles 20:22 One evening during praise and worship at church, I was praising somewhat more enthusiastically than usual. The day leading up to this had come with two amazing God encounters and I was responding to them. While I was praising, the Holy Spirit spoke these words into my heart: “Praise the same way before a victory as you would after the victory.” That brought conviction along with encouragement. This verse in 2 … Continue reading Praise Before Victory

Sun of Righteousness

Diane Reid

But for you who fear My name the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings; and you will go forth and skip about like calves from the stall. Malachi 4:2 I live in the Pacific Northwest.  We get a lot of rain but when the sun comes out, we welcome the rays.   Spring here is a mix of rain and sunshine. The sun touches the earth and colors start springing up everywhere.  Gorgeous flowers, vines and trees, all coming to life under the wings of the sun.  Just as the sun touches our earth and brings life, … Continue reading Sun of Righteousness

All Means All

Diane Reid

…great multitudes followed Him, and He healed them all. Matthew 12:15 Working with kids sometimes makes me question if there is something wrong with my speech!  I think I am saying the right words but I get ignored or just get these blank looks.  Sometimes, they say, “Oh, I heard you but I thought you meant…,” and I am left scratching my head.  Perhaps you too, have questioned where the communication went wrong between you and someone else.  Ok, so I will be honest here.  Sometimes, I stumble on the word all in this passage.  It is hard to get … Continue reading All Means All

This is Jesus

Diane Reid

At sunset, the people brought to Jesus all who had various kinds of sickness, and laying his hands on each one, he healed them. Luke 4:40 As a writer, I oftentimes find it hard to capture huge ideas into something as small as words. Imagine being at the scene where people came to Jesus and He healed them. What words could describe that? What kind of celebration would be taking place among not only the people who were healed, but their family members and friends? How can words describe that kind of joy? But words are what we are given. … Continue reading This is Jesus
