The Stripes Were His, The Healing Is Yours.
The stripes of Jesus are more than a story to remember; they are the price that was paid for your healing. Those stripes were not a small part of His journey to the cross; His body was torn so that broken bodies could be healed. He accepted pain so we wouldn’t remain in pain. The…

Let God Arise
Scripture: Psalm 68:1 “Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him.” — Psalm 68:1 (KJV) The enemy may rage, gather support and make moves that appear difficult to reverse.

Have Mercy Upon Us, O Lord
Mercy in Psalm 123 is not only the cry of someone asking for forgiveness. It is the cry of people who have endured reproach until they have reached the limit of what they can carry. They are asking God to look upon their condition and intervene.

The Help That Makes You a Reference
Not every remarkable result can be explained by talent. Sometimes, someone’s outcome becomes greater than the ability everyone can see. Skill may explain what the person knows, and diligence may explain the effort invested, but neither fully explains the unusual dimension of the result.

How Much More Shall the Blood of Christ?
Something is wrong when the mention of blood used in an occult ritual immediately produces fear, but the mention of the blood of Jesus produces only a familiar religious response. Tell some believers that blood was used to establish an evil covenant, pronounce a curse or dedicate something to darkness, and they become deeply troubled.…

The Blood That Speaks Better Things
Darkness does not always begin by attacking. Sometimes it begins by accusing. It raises a claim, demands vengeance, and then attempts to turn that accusation into a judgement. What later appears as affliction, repeated loss, resistance, or captivity may be darkness trying to enforce what it believes has already been decided. This is why some…

The Blood That Paid For Our Healing
Healing is free to receive, but it was not free to provide. Every healing Jesus performed during His earthly ministry appeared effortless. He spoke a word, touched the afflicted, or gave a simple instruction, and sickness vanished. Blind eyes opened, weakened bodies received strength, and those who had suffered for years were restored in moments.…
