 "HIS SUSTAINING LOVE"

HALO MINISTRIES' MONTHLY E-MAIL NEWSLETTER

JULY 2002 - ISSUE 11

Written by Johanna Hobrath

 

Have you ever written a diary or a journal and, then, several years later compared the writings to the truth that was applied then and how the same truth speaks today?  Recently I compared such truth from the July 18, 2000 article and how the same truth is applied to today, July 2002.  When you read the article HEALING AND RESTORATION, you will discover profound truths from a Christian perspective as well as from a secular perspective.

 

PLEASE NOTE:  Permit the thoughts contained herein to speak to you.  If you desire to read an in-depth, analytical article - both religious and secular - you will then want to eagerly read its content.

 

HEALING AND RESTORATION

July 18, 2000

 

When people read books about solving the problems from the situations in life, they may receive solid information from several sources; and, such information may be useful for their particular need.

 

When listening to sermons, I, too, may receive answers via the Holy Word of God.  However, if the basic principle from the Word of God is not followed, the circumstances in life may then cause little change for a brighter outcome.

 

I have discovered that marriage can only survive when each spouse tries to show respect and honour to the partner that God has united at the church altar or via the “Justice of the Peace.”  Too many hurts and conflicts occur when the husband or wife show little concern for each other.  The wife may pray for years for a peaceful existence; however, if the husband chooses to be the total boss in every aspect, the wife may have no choice but to continue to pray and with tears petition God to change the heart of her spouse.

 

Divorce in a marriage should never be an option.  There are, of course, circumstances that seem beyond restoration.  However, I am of the firm belief that healing in any circumstances may bring restoration to an almost impossible situation.  A Godly Intervention may bring about a miracle; and, thus, bring astonishment to its surroundings.

 

I believe that there are degrees and varieties in the healing that God provides.  There can be a healing to:  1) body, 2) soul, and 3) spirit.

 

1) Healing to the body may come from doctors or from the supernatural workings from God.

 

2) Healing for the soul is a complex issue and involves the deep pain that comes from unresolved circumstances.  This includes the emotional makeup of a person.  If the unresolved problems continue to be compounded by more problems and the wound of the soul does not have the release from the problems, it may then be necessary to make a visit to a clergy, counselor, psychologist, or psychiatrist.

 

However, supernatural healing for the soul during the problem stages may come from the Heavenly Shepherd that speaks comfort from the wonderful promises found in the Word of God.  PSALM 23 is not only words on paper, but is a promise that Christ Jesus is my Shepherd and that He can speak Peace to any weary soul.

 

3) As human beings, the spirit of mankind can suffer untold defeat if problems are not resolved.  The spirit of mankind is affected if the body or soul [the emotions] are not in good order.  However, the spirit of mankind can be brought into a higher plateau by the sincere prayer and reading of the Word of God.  When the spirit of mankind is in tune with the Spirit of God, the body and soul receives an anointing that will help the person to look beyond the problems in life.

 

I, personally, delight in spiritual healing that comes from the anointing that God provides.  Daily living, at times, causes problems; however, God can bring about the needed anointing that flows abundantly from the Heavenly Throne.

 

I believe that Healing and Restoration is needed in families, churches, and nations of the world.  God sees the problems in my life or in your life.  [Isaiah, Chapter 10, Verse 27]

 

The Bible makes reference to a yoke. In the olden days, when fields had to be plowed, the plow was attached to an oxen.  And, the oxen pulled the plow, thus preparing and making the ground ready for planting the needed crop.  Problems are compared to a yoke.  Problems weigh heavily upon the heart, but the anointing from God can break that heaviness so that it becomes bearable to face each new day.

 

I am so glad that God in Heaven sees my need and my joy, and He sees your need and your joy.  Truly, the joy of the Lord is many times the strength that is needed in negative circumstances.  May you also know that the depth of His Love, that encompasses the universe, also includes me and it includes you.

 

The Godly Storehouse in Heaven has untold treasures that are a Spiritual Phenomenon.  [PSALM 16:11]

 

Believe that the Goodness from God can surround you and bring health and restoration to body, soul, and spirit!  [PSALM 18:32]

 

HIS SUSTAINING LOVE WAS, IS, AND IS TO COME . . . 

HEBREWS 13:8

 

"THE PREEMINENCE OF GOD IS ABOVE MANKIND

AND THE VASTNESS OF HIS LOVE AND HIS GRACE

IS IMMEASURABLE!"
