Psalms are healing

In healing prayers I never try to convince God to heal me or anyone else because He already gave His Son for our healing and for our sins on the  Cross. I emphasize persistence in my prayers. I will be healed when acceptance comes on the strength of my belief in Jesus. God has already healed, now I must believe it. Whenever Jesus talks about healing I listen and endeavor to follow in every way. I try to carry healing verses in my pocket because with the flesh one never knows when the blow may fall.

Why I believe in God

James 1:17 Every good thing bestowed, and every perfect gift is from above coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation, or shifting shadow. God does not change. Moses did not change God's mind, but he did convince God to delay His decision. To  relent is not a change. Notice here that every good gift is from above, from the Father of lights. This why I thank God for His Existence, and thank Him for the existence He has given me.

Sons and Daughters of God

 Children of God  John 3:1-2 Behold what manner of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God. And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know Him. Beloved, we are now children of God, and what we will be has not yet been revealed. We know that when Christ appears, we will be like Him, for we will see Him as He is.…

We, being the children of God, are sons and daughters of God. There are many affirmations of this. In one instance Jesus was given the power from God to make us sons and daughters of God. I'd like to gather them all together in one list. I was asked by someone where I wanted to be when I died. My instant answer was, I want to be where Jesus is. Speaking from the flesh to the spirit, the very thought was extremely comforting.  

All things seen came from the unseen

2 Cor 4:16-18 Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day. For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison, while we look not for the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal. This is why I prefer certain translations over others. The KJV says "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. The KJV use of substance and evidence reflects that faith is eternal and not temporal as dramatized in another translation found in 2ndCor. Using assurance and conviction hower is not as substantive nor as suggestive of anything concrete as in the KJV Hebrews. I am sensitive to the use of stronger words. 

Persistence never gives up

 I like to pay particular attention to the parables because I believe in them, we receive Jesus' commandments. I put myself into the parable and sometimes wonder if others do as well. I like the widow and the unrighteous judge. Luke 18:1-8. Persistence in prayer to accept healing does not announce God did not heal someone. Who is he who stops the clock? Who is he who decides what God has not done? My pastor in Sunday School made the decision, not God. He, with others, decided that God changed His mind. I too blamed God as a child because I thought the adults were in with God. But I decided as I grew older, they did not have enough faith. If we love Jesus, we obey His commandments.
