Medical
knowledge has made tremendous strides for alleviating pain.
(Daniel 12:4)
However,
the deep-seated pain of the heart and soul can be brought to the
Physician Jesus, and He understands the tears of the heart. The
promises in God's Word are like ointment to a deep wound.
Are
you hurting? Then let "The Powerful Healer" place
ointment into the hurts of your life.
In
the quiet "Prayer Time," the Hand of Jesus will bring comfort
and peace "that passes all
understanding." (Philippians 4:7)
Isaiah
41:10 tells us so beautifully: "Fear
thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy
God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will
uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness."
This
morning (July 15, 2001) while worshipping God in His House, and having
my eyes closed, I was permitted to see a woman kneeling in front of a
lovely lady's chair. The woman continued to come to my mind.
The woman, with tears in her eyes, was praying and interceding for
herself, etc.
Have
you ever heard about an intercessor? Why do intercessors pray, at
times with anguish and tears? Shedding tears during the
"Prayer Time" is not a sign of weakness; but is an indication
that the person comes to God in a humble attitude.
We
are admonished in I Timothy
2:1-3 . . .
"I
exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers,
intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
"For
kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and
peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
"For
this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;"
One
day, in a reverent attitude, I brought an earnest prayer petition to the
Lord. I prayed for people to accept "Salvation in
Christ." The "Prayer Burden" was so heavy that it
seemed to be too much to carry. And, then, it was as if Jesus said
to me: "My child, remember, I died on the cross of Calvary
for all those people."
Dear
reader, is your pain or your burden too heavy for you to carry?
Remember, the Christ of Calvary is telling you to bring the burdens to
Him, and Jesus can give you comfort that passes all
understanding. Let the "Presence of the Lord" lighten
your daily burdens.
Jesus
said: ". . . I am
come that they might have life, and that they might have it more
abundantly." John 10:10
