Say the Word, You're Healed - SAINT LUKE 7:7

“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. {17} “For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. {18} “He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. - SAINT JOHN 3:16-18 - HOLY BIBLE - New International Version

That is why I did not even consider myself worthy to come to you. But say the word, and my servant will be healed. - SAINT LUKE 7:7 - HOLY BIBLE - New International Version

JESUS, we LOVE YOU Forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JESUS GREETINGS, Dear Friend,

PRAISE JESUS CHRIST, THE FATHER GOD, AND THE PRECIOUS HOLY GHOST! Well, we've come to the end of the week, and I know there are many of us who have eaten enough turkey the past few days for a month of Thursdays - smile -. With that said, I believe we are also feasting daily of the Written WORD of ALMIGHTY GOD, THE HOLY BIBLE. Amen?

For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, - HEBREWS 10:26

With that said, I would like, By The Unction of the BLESSED HOLY ONE {1 JOHN 2:20}, to discuss in this blog posting, the topic of 'healing {ACTS 10:38}'. When we accepted CHRIST JESUS'S ULTIMATE SACRIFICE AT THE CROSS {SAINT JOHN 19:30}, Believing on HIS PRECIOUS DEATH AND RESURRECTION {SAINT MARK 15, 16} as THE 'FINAL PAYMENT' for our sin debt in full {HEBREWS 10:26}, we also accepted all that was Garnered for us as the result of HIS ULTIMATE SACRIFICE.

Praise the Lord, my soul;

all my inmost being, praise his holy name.

{2} Praise the Lord, my soul,

and forget not all his benefits—

{3} who forgives all your sins

and heals all your diseases, - PSALM 103:1-3 - HOLY BIBLE - New International Version

One "benefit {PSALM 103:2}", as a result of blessing or praising our BLESSED REDEEMER, JESUS CHRIST {JEREMIAH 50:34}, Procured because of HIS WONDROUSLY-TRIUMPHANT DEATH AND RESURRECTION {SAINT MATTHEW 27, SAINT JOHN 20} was having our health restored {ISAIAH 38:16}, first in our former sin-sick souls, and second in our mind, body, spirits, emotions, and relationships. When we understand, by faith, all that CHRIST JESUS PAID to Give us, we will begin to rejoice in THE CROSS {SAINT JOHN 19:17} AND THE EMPTY TOMB {SAINT LUKE 24:24}, as long as we live in this earth realm, and for all eternity in the life to come. HALLELUJAH! HALLELUJAH! HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU, JESUS!

How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him. - ACTS 10:38

In today's Foundational HOLY BIBLE SCRIPTURE, we see the Centurion coming to JESUS, Stating what we all can humbly admit that we are not worthy for CHRIST JESUS To Come under our roof {SAINT MATTHEW 8:8}. However, this man of GOD, who was, at the time, not a son of Abraham {ROMANS 9:7}, causes JESUS to marvel {SAINT MATTHEW 8:10}, because of his faith, culminating in his stating to JESUS TO "...say the word" and his servant shall be healed {SAINT LUKE 7:7}."

My friend, this "faith exposition" shows that, we too, as with our HUSBAND JESUS {ISAIAH 54:5}, only need to "say the word", the HOLY SCRIPTURES, backing it with our faith, and we shall, not only be Healed BY THE EVERLASTING POWER OF ALMIGHTY JESUS CHRIST IN THE, SAID, BIBLICAL TEXT, but in like manner, because of our faith, we shall also receive EVERY PROMISE {HEBREWS 6:12} OF ALMIGHTY JESUS CHRIST, Found from THE FIRST BOOK OF Moses Called GENESIS to the LAST BOOK OF THE HOLY BIBLE, THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST, Written by Saint John the Divine.

That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises. - HEBREWS 6:12

So, do you have a sickness today, my friend. Please take note that you don't have a sin battle, and you're not battling the disease per se. Yea, rather it is a "faith battle", for we are Commanded to "Fight the good fight of faith {1 TIMOTHY 6:12}", whereby, as one Preacher said, "It's called a good fight, because we ALWAYS win." My friend, and as my beloved Daddy the Reverend James Oliver McMorris Sr. says, "We're on the Winning Team!" My dear friend, that team is one of ETERNAL HEALTH, "TEAM JESUS"! Amen? Amen!

JESUS GREETINGS, my Dear Friend,

As we continue to delight ourselves in the Lord, He will give us the desires of our hearts {PSALMS 37:4}. The major desire of all of humanity's heart, I perceive, is the desire to possess lasting peace {SAINT JOHN 14:27, ISAIAH 54:10}. This is evident in the various secular self-help books and magazines, as well as the drug and alcohol addiction rates throughout the globe, and other sinful unGodly, unhealthy, and unlawful perversions.

Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, somaking peace; - EPHESIANS 2:15

With this in mind, our ALMIGHTY CRUCIFIED AND RESURRECTED {SAINT MARK 15, AND CHAPTER 16} LORD AND GOD, JESUS CHRIST {SAINT JOHN 20:28}, so Lovingly Admonished Moses, the meekest man to walk this Earth {NUMBERS 12:3}, under our LORD AND SAVIOR, THE ONLY GOD/MAN JESUS CHRIST {SAINT MATTHEW 8:27, SAINT MATTHEW 14:33}, of course, to speak unto the Children of Israel these encouraging and comforting words {ROMANS 15:4}, "stand still..."

Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. - SAINT MARK 9:23

When we "stand still" through every diverse, potentially adversarial circumstance, we see our faith in CHRIST JESUS, soaring to His Blessed Heavenly Heights, enduring, without any bounds or limits, with patience and peace, any, said, circumstance that the enemy, the adversary the devil {1 PETER 5:8}, attempts to bring our way. He does this, in order that we'd become distracted from the Faithful Promises our our BLESSED FAITHFUL LORD AND GOD, JESUS CHRIST {DEUTERONOMY 7:9, 1 CORINTHIANS 2:9}, and lose heart {2 CORINTHIANS 4:1, HEBREWS 12:3}, while, although remaining saved, wanting us to lose our Christians influence in the public square, and amongst those who once saw our Christian Pro-CHRIST-JESUS-Fervor.

Let's face it, all things are possible for those of us who believe {SAINT MARK 9:23}. With this said, "nothing is impossible for God {SAINT LUKE 1:37}", and THE HOLY BIBLE DECREES "Is anything too hard for the LORD {GENESIS 18:14, JEREMIAH 32:17,27}?" Whatever you're facing at this particular junction in your life, understand that you are not facing anything alone.

THE LORD, JESUS CHRIST Has so Lovingly and Faithfully Promised to never leave us nor forsake us {HEBREWS 13:5}. When we understand this Truth, no matter what the enemy brings our way, we will stand up boldly, flatfooted perceiving that the LORD JESUS Has established our spiritual thrones {1 CORINTHIANS 14:2 - JPS Tanakh 1917} of our blessed hearts, minds, spirits, and soul, inviting HIM to sit on and Reign us from within, as well as without, making of HIMSELF, HIS precious Kings and Priests {REVELATION 5:10}, of twain, one New Man {EPHESIANS 2:15}, as we are called by HIM into HIS Royal Priesthood {1 PETER 2:9}, serving HIM, Our BELOVED HEAVENLY FATHER, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT OF OUR BLESSED LORD AND GOD, JESUS CHRIST! Amen! "Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen. {1 JOHN 5:21}""The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. {REVELATION 22:21}"

Delight Thyself - PSALM 37:4

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. {17} For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. {18} He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. " - SAINT JOHN 3:16-18

Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. - PSALM 37:4

Praise THE LOVE OF OUR LIVES, Our BLESSEDLY-AWESOMELY-CARING-AND-COMPASSIONATE LORD of Lords, and KING of Kings {REVELATION 19:16}, our LORD AND GOD {SAINT JOHN 20:28}, JESUS THE MESSIAH, THE CHRIST, THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD {SAINT MATTHEW 16:16}!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JESUS GREETINGS, my Dear Friend,

Well, it's the first Saturday in the month of November, and we are in the Holiday Season with the onset of the American Thanksgiving Holiday a few weeks away, and the Christmas Celebration of the Birth of our BLESSED ROCK {PSALM 95:1}, Our PRECIOUS AND HOLY CRUCIFIED AND RESURRECTED LORD AND GOD {SAINT JOHN 20:28}, JESUS CHRIST'S HOLY BIRTH SOME 2018 Years ago upon us! HALLELUJAH! HALLELUJAH! HALLELUJAH!

This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth. - 1 JOHN 5:6

With this in focus, our delighting in the Great Grace {ACTS 4:33} of our BLESSED JESUS THE CHRIST {1 JOHN 5:6}, gives us ample cause to acknowledge HIM in all our ways {PROVERBS 3:5-6}, meaning, in all things, HE So Lovingly Allows, By HIS DIVINE PROVIDENCE, to appear in the horizon of our lives.

This delighting my friend, shows forth that we, not only trust in the PRECIOUS HOLY GHOST {HEBREWS 10:15} OF Our LORD AND SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST, but it also shows forth a leaning on and reliability on the FINISHED WORK {SAINT JOHN 4:34, 5:36, ROMANS 9:28}, of our BLESSED SALVATION {1 THESSALONIANS 5:9}, JESUS THE CHRIST! HALLELUJAH! HALLELUJAH! HALLELUJAH! JESUS, THANK YOU! THANK YOU, JESUS! JESUS, THANK YOU, JESUS!

Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it. - ISAIAH 54:18

Transparency. The HOLY BIBLE DECLARES That all things are naked before him to whom we have to do {HEBREWS 4:13}. Because, we are transparent beings unto ALMIGHTY JESUS CHRIST, meaning, HE KNOWS ALL ABOUT us, and nothing, including our thoughts, can be "withholden" from HIM {JOB 42:2}, it does us good to, in like manner, imitate Him as His dear children {EPHESIANS 5:1}, allowing others to see our frailties and faults, in order, that, they'd come to the realization, that, no matter how perfect we seem to be, we are not, in the slightest appeal, any match, in comparison, to the Perfectness of our LORD AND SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST.

This acknowledging of our humanity and need for JESUS, our BELOVED SAVIOR, shows for that as we delight in JESUS CHRIST, we understand that if it wasn't for THE ABUNDANT MERCY AND GRACE of Our BLESSED LORD AND SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST, we would be utterly consumed by our former iniquities.

Because of this "jewel {PROVERBS 20:15}" of truth, we humbly thank our BELOVED and ALMIGHTY JESUS CHRIST, for HIS mercies being new every morning and His compassion's failing not, great is His faithfulness {LAMENTATIONS 3:22-25}! So, remember, one aspect of our delighting in our PRECIOUS HOLY SPIRIT, HEAVENLY FATHER, AND THE LORD AND GOD, JESUS CHRIST, THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD {SAINT MATTHEW 16:16, SAINT JOHN 6:69}, involves our "letting go, and letting GOD", BE GOD {ROMANS 3:4} in our lives, endeavoring to further the TRUE Precedent that the ONLY PERFECT MAN IS Our LORD AND GOD, JESUS THE CHRIST! HALLELUJAH! HALLELUJAH! HALLELUJAH!

And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all. - ACTS 4:33

So, what is the sum of these things, my dear friend {HEBREWS 8:1}? Well, as the WORD OF GOD, THE HOLY BIBLE DECREES, we have a great High Priest that can be touched with the feeling of our infirmities {HEBREWS 4:15}, thus when we delight in this HIGH PRIEST of ours, THE LORD JESUS, HE Will, in truth, not only give us the desires of our hearts {PSALM 37:4}, but will also make a way of escape from every adversarial situation {1 CORINTHIANS 10:13}, placing the enormity of our focus, solely, on HIM AND HIS FINISHED WORK AT CALVARY'S CROSS {SAINT JOHN 19:30}, some 2018 years ago, RESURRECTING THE THIRD DAY for our Blessed justification {ROMANS 4:25, 8:30}, and ultimately for our glorification {ROMANS 8:30}, and my friend nothing can be more delightful than that! Amen? HALELUJAH! Amen! "little children, keep yourselves form idols. Amen. {1 JOHN 5:21}" "The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. {REVELATION 22:21}"

For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. - 1 THESSALONIANS 5:9

The Peace of Christ - PART I

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son; That whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. {17} For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. - SAINT JOHN 3:16-17

Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. - SAINT JOHN 14:27

Praise JESUS CHRIST!

JESUS GREETINGS,

I pray you all are having a Blessed Day in the LORD JESUS CHRIST! HE is TRULY Worthy of all the praise. "It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed". His compassions they fail not, great is His faithfulness {LAMENTATIONS 3:22}. These Truths, The HOLY THOUGHTS of our PRECIOUS LORD AND SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST {ISAIAH 55:8}, are literally getting through a trying time as we speak.

When we are Christians, we, although victorious in CHRIST JESUS have days that seem more difficult than others to make it through. Dealing with anxiety, bi-polar disorder, and other mental torments in the past, I know exactly the importance of our maintaining a healthy or Christ-centered mental disposition.

Although I get weary of talking about him, let's face it, we have an adversary the devil who walks around as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour {1 PETER 5:8}. We are taught to withstand him in the faith {1 PETER 5:9}. Other translations substitute "resist" for withstand. I believe the greatest weapon of resistance is the WORD OF GOD. I particularly had a bout before I wrote this, mentally, and was deciding if I should take a particular pill or let the thoughts pass. I KNOW ALMIGHTY JEHOVAH IS OUR HEALER, and BY WAY OF HIS BELOVED SON JESUS CHRIST'S PRECIOUS DEATH AND RESURRECTION {SAINT JOHN 19 and 20}, we have ALREADY Received our Healing. First, I believe this is a HEALING FOR our former sin-sick souls, but BY HIS WOUNDS, we are also Healed {ISAIAH 53:5} from all other ailments. THE WORD OF GOD Also SAYS THAT HE Forgives ALL our iniquities, and HE Heals ALL our diseases. However, sometimes taking a doctor's or a friends advice concerning a particular illness, is the right thing to do. JESUS, Himself, Has made medicine, therefore let each of us be persuaded in his own mind {ROMANS 14:5}.

Today's Foundational HOLY BIBLE SCRIPTURE declares that JESUS Has already given us an all-encompassing 'peace' of mind that can only be found in a relationship with HIM. Because, HE LOVES us so, HE Wanted His Disciples to KNOW that they could count on HIM, SOLELY, for their peace. Let's face it, there is no peace like knowing that ALL of our sins; past, present, and future are forgiven {COLOSSIANS 2:13}. All we have to do is come to CHRIST asking for Mercy and Forgiveness, and HE WILL ALWAYS GIVE IT TO US, HIS BELOVED CHILDREN {1 JOHN 1:9}.

When we walk in HIS DIVINE LOVE, as HE Walked {1 JOHN 2:6}, and in HIS PEACE, we are able to conquer {ROMANS 8:37} anything our enemy, the devil, attempts to bring our way daily, as we understand that our LORD AND SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST, HAS ALREADY DESTROYED ALL of the devil's works {1 JOHN 3:8}, and as I read in one devotional, the only power the devil has now is to lie. WE WILL NOT BELIEVE any of his lies! We are at peace, through the GRACE AND FAITH OF CHRIST JESUS, and we are HEALED BY Faith in HIS SHED BLOOD {ROMANS 3:25}, in HIS WOUNDS {ISAIAH 53:5}, and ULTIMATELY Because of HIS GREAT DEATH, AND EQUALLY GREAT RESURRECTION {SAINT MARK 15 AND 16}. "Little children keep yourselves from idols. Amen. {1 JOHN 5:21}"

JESUS KNOWS

PRAISE JESUS CHRIST!

For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten Son; That whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting. {17} For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. - SAINT JOHN 3:16-17

Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said, "Why do you entertain evil thoughts in your hearts? - SAINT MATTHEW 9:4

JESUS GREETINGS,

We've been talking a lot about faith and seeking our Blessed LORD AND MASTER, JESUS CHRIST in recent posts. We've dealt with petitioning HIM in our prayers, and seeing how the privilege of prayer is essential to our Godly walk in JESUS CHRIST {2 TIMOTHY 1:1}. We've sought CHRIST JESUS through meditating on 'Healing Verses', as we've come a long distance in our walk with CHRIST JESUS, with regards to where we were when we first became 'born again {SAINT JOHN 3:3-6}'.

With this in mind, it is imperative that we understand that all the things that we petition our Heavenly FATHER for in prayer, HE Already Knows. There is no wisdom or counsel against the LORD {PROVERBS 21:30}. This is proven in our foundational HOLY SCRIPTURE Today. We see our BELOVED JESUS, knowing the thoughts of his accusers, before they even spoke them, or "murmured against" HIM {PSALM 106:25, SAINT LUKE 24:38}. This at times can appear intimidating seeing how we are fallen human beings and don't always think right thoughts. However, this is comforting when we realize that we can rest in HIM {1 CHRONICLES 22:9, PSALM 94:13}, as HE stated in SAINT MATTHEW 6: For the Father knows what you stand in need of before you ask {SAINT MATTHEW 6:8}.

Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. - SAINT MATTHEW 6:8

     Although our HEAVENLY FATHER Knows what we stand in need of before we ask HIM, it does us justice to keep an open dialog with HIM, and to do our best each and every day to seek HIS BEAUTIFUL COUNTENANCE. As my beautiful Aunt Delores once told me, although ALMIGHTY JESUS Knows what we need before we ask, HE STILL WANTS TO HEAR FROM us.
This TRULY is LOVE, unparalleled.

      When the Disciples of our ALMIGHTY JESUS were on the boat facing a disastrous storm, THE HOLY BIBLE States that our ALMIGHTY JESUS was ASLEEP in the midst of the storm {SAINT MATTHEW 8:24}. HE BEING THE PRINCE OF PEACE {ISAIAH 9:6}, Exuded PEACE, even in the midst of possible destruction. However, I'm certain that our BELOVED JESUS, KNOWING ALL THINGS, Knew the storm was coming, and at exactly the right time it would come. I believe this storm was allowed in order that the Disciples, and us as his disciples today would gain faith in the LOVE AND GOODNESS OF our HEAVENLY FATHER, and HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, JESUS CHRIST!

     Just as CHRIST JESUS Knew the time when the storm would come on that ship of sailing, HE ALSO IS Aware of the storms that come against us in our daily walk with THE MASTER {SAINT LUKE 8:24, COLOSSIANS 4:1}. Believe me, I know when a storm hits, it can seem unbearable at times. I've had many a storm in my life, that lead me, by the GRACE OF GOD to mental institutions, psychiatric pills, and in my college years, drug addictions. However, now that I know the Grace and Love of JESUS CHRIST, all these past sins, frailties, and failures have been washed away by the WORD OF GOD MADE FLESH {SAINT JOHN 1:14}, our JESUS THE CHRIST.

     So my friend, don't worry about a thing. THE HOLY WRIT, THE HOLY BIBLE, STATES THAT we are to "be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving let..." our requests be made "known" unto God {PHILIPPIANS 4:6 - HOLY BIBLE - New International Version}. Thus, crying out to ALMIGHTY JEHOVAH GOD with an attitude of FAITH AND LOVE will comfort our hearts, granting us the "peace that surpasses all understanding {PHILIPPIANS 4:7}." HALLELUJAH! "Little children keep yourselves from idols. Amen {1 JOHN 5:21}.

No longer Bound

PRAISE JESUS CHRIST!

For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten Son; That whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. {17} For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. - SAINT JOHN 3:16-17

Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied, and rose up in haste, and spake, and said unto his counsellers, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king. He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God. - DANIEL 3:24-25

JESUS GREETINGS Family,

When the three Hebrew captives, Hananiah, Mishael, Azariah {Shadrach, Meshech, and Abed-nego} were thrown into the midst of a fiery furnace, simply, because they refused to bow down to an idol set up by an unruly king. It appeared that they would meet their Maker in that they would not have survived or subdued the fiery furnace ordeal. However, these three loyal and courageous, possibly teen-age young men, literally did meet their Maker, The LORD AND SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST, for the HOLY SCRIPTURES State that King Nebuchadnezzar rose up when he thought the three young lads should have lost their lives, and was astonished when he so these three servants of the MOST HIGH GOD "no longer bound" walking in the midst of the fire with a fourth MAN, saying "and the fourth looks like the Son of God {Daniel 3:25}.

When I first titled this weblog sermonette, it was originally entitled 'In the Fire'. However, as I began to write this particular article, I believe Our CRUCIFIED AND RESURRECTED LORD AND GOD, JESUS CHRIST {SAINT JOHN 20:28}, gave me another title "No Longer Bound". It is important to understand the significance that these three men were thrown into the fiery furnace bond, I believe hand and foot. The HOLY BIBLE DECRESS That they fell down in the midst of the fiery furnace. This shows to me that no matter how hot a certain situation seems to be, whether we are undergoing Spiritual, mental, physical, or emotional turmoil or persecution in our lives, there is always hope in our placing our faith in our LORD AND SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST.

{19} Remembering mine affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall.

{20} My soul hath them still in remembrance, and is humbled in me.

{21}This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope.

{22} It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.

{23} They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.

{24} The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him. - JEREMIAH 3:19-24

This hope is always seen, even in the lower parts of our souls. Sometimes, we feel as if all hope is gone, simply because we feel that we have messed up too much for CHRIST JESUS to still love us. However, this is a lie and trap of the devil and it couldn't be further from the Truth of the Gospel {GOOD NEWS} of JESUS CHRIST.

JESUS PROMISES to never leave or forsake us {HEBREWS 13:5}. When we have gone astray in some manner, whether backsliding or in the giving up of hope, THE HOLY BIBLE DECREES IN PSALM 119:176 -

I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant; for I do not forget thy commandments. - PSALM 119:176

THE HOLY BIBLE Also Encourages those who have lost hope with these words,

{19} My brethren, if any among you strays from the truth and one turns him back, {20} let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins. -JEREMIAH 5:19-20

Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple. JONAH 2:4

The key to getting up again is to cast our proverbial nets on the right side of the ship {SAINT JOHN 21:6}, or as Elijah the Tishbite instructed his servant, "to go again {1 KINGS 18:43}"

And said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the sea. And he went up, and looked, and said, There is nothing. And he said, Go again seven times. - 1 KINGS 18:43

I can assure you, because, I know first hand that it is not easy. However, we serve a FAITHFUL GOD, JESUS CHRIST, Who WILL Help us as we continue to walk by faith and not by sight {2 CORINTHIANS 5:7}. Remember, HE will NEVER leave or forsake us {HEBREWS 13:5}. Simply, ask for forgiveness, seek HIM in reading HIS WORD DAILY, and Rest in the PROVISION OF THE HOLY LOVE, THE FATHER HAS GRANTED UNTO us, BY WAY OF THE PRECIOUS DEATH, AND RESURRECTION OF HIS BELOVED SON, JESUS CHRIST. "Little children keep yourselves from idols. Amen. {1 JOHN 5:21}
