Restored to Life

Restored to Life


"But when Jesus heard it, He answered, "Do not be afraid, " only believe, and she will be made well." Luke 8:50 (NKJV)
There was a Jewish girl whose father was a leader of the synagogue. His named was Jairus. His job was to looked after the synagogue, its content and its arrangement for worship. He fell down at Jesus' feet and begged Him to come to his house, for he had an only daughter about twelve years of age, and she was dying. Jarius was a Jewish leader. He was not suppose to believe in Jesus Christ. It was against his faith. But he also was a good father, who cared for his daughter more than he cared about his job.  The minute Jarius left his job of caring for the synagogue to seek the Healer was the minute He gave up His old life! He could not hold on to that and go to Jesus. He had to make a decision. He gave up his old life to bring the Healer to his daughter. And, everything changed when Jesus came. However, while Jairus was waiting on Jesus someone came and brought him bad news in the middle of his hope. But, before that bad news could sink into his head and soul, Jesus spoke these words, "Do not be afraid,  only believe and she will be well."

Are you in a dire situation? Are you holding on to something or someone that is causing you to remain in your old life.  The place of "no where".  That person or thing can not deliver you from your present situation or bring you life. Do not be afraid to leave your old life and believe in a new life, a good life and a redeeming life.  When we go to Jesus everything changes!  Only you can really tell him what is going on in your life.  So go to him and ask him to rescue you. Do not be afraid of tomorrow or even what might happen. Only believe and the situation will be well.

I want you to know that Jesus gave up everything including His life to save you, redeem you, restore you and rescue you from the Evil One. He speaks life! No man or woman, fame or fortune is worth dying inside or losing your soul.   

Blessings and Hope;
Pastor Patricia

Turning Your Pain into Power

Image
  "He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore,  for the former things have passed away (R evelation 21:4 ESV)." T he journey of life has many twists and turns. There are times when a turn leads us to a place of pain. But, we have the ability to used that pain to catapult ourselves to the place of power. The loss of my younger sister was very painful. She unexpectedly died. I was hurt, cried for days, and thought my chest would burst open from the pain of her departure to be with Jesus.  Not only was she my sister, but my friend. Someone you couldn't help but love! She was loving, kind, compassionate, and caring.  I don't know a sweeter person than my sister, Janice (or JanBaby as our family referred to her).  She started singing at the age of three. You could feel the power of her love deep in your soul, down to your "bones", when she lifted her voice, and breathed ...

God Doesn't Err and Trouble Doesn't Last Always

Your life has many winding roads and complicated stops.   Jesus said, "I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world (John 16:33)." When you read the verse, your thought might be, "If Jesus has overcome the world, why does my world feels so broken?" In t he circle of life we have beginnings, endings, and everything in between.  The ebbs  and flows of life bring waters of both joy and pain. But, with God's guiding hands, it flows in a way that moves us upstream to a place of peace, blessings, rest and trust.  You may walk through the great darkness ravine, but you will get through it, because God's got you!    We are overcomers in mind, spirit and soul. Whatever you are going through, it too shall pass.  L ife may not be fair, but God is fair.  Psalm 56 , the psalmist declares to God, “ You have kept count of my tossings; put my tears in your bottle...

The Reward of Persistent Prayer

Image
    [Jeremiah 29:12-13 (CJB)]: "When you call to me and pray to me, I will listen to you. When you seek me, you will find me, provided you seek from me wholeheartedly;" Dear Ladies, I write this blog with you and the many prayers that you have prayed in mind. Luke 18:2-5] "In a certain town, there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected other people. There was also in that town a widow who kept coming to him and saying, 'Give me a judgment against the man who is trying to ruin me.' For a long time he refused; but after awhile, he said to himself, 'I don't fear God, and I don't respect other people; but because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see to it that she gets justice - otherwise, she'll keep coming and pestering me till she wears me out!"  God is not a cruel judge. When we persist in prayer, we are not pestering Him! Jesus told his disciple this parable, in order to impress on them that they   must always keep praying   a...
