PARABLE 11/09/07
Both my husband and I are intercessors and we both have
different gifts that we carry according to God’s
leading. However one of the assignments that we carry
together is praying that the gift of healing would
return on a massive level to His body. We both are not
exactly whole people and deal with misc health issues
that change every day and at any hour. We have learned
to use what works that day, fight for what we dont have,
and flow with the grace God gives us at the moment.
Yesterday I noticed he needed his pants mended and we
gathered together the gifts that I had to use the sewing
machine with the gifts he had working to fill in what I
could not do! He doesnt know how to use the sewing
machine but he brought me the chair, threaded the needle
and then pushed the reverse button since I couldnt do
it. He clipped the seams with the scissors I was unable
to squeeze. I smiled that together, we were able to sew
up one simple seam. That is truly how God meant not
only marriage, but His whole body to function as one
unit. Truly marriage is a great mystery of where He is
bringing His people into oneness in Christ Jesus.
1 Cor 12:14-23 NLT
Yes, the body has many different parts, not just one
part. If the foot says, "I am not a part of the body
because I am not a hand," that does not make it any less
a part of the body. And if the ear says, "I am not part
of the body because I am only an ear and not an eye,"
would that make it any less a part of the body? Suppose
the whole body were an eye — then how would you hear? Or
if your whole body were just one big ear, how could you
smell anything? But God made our bodies with many
parts, and he has put each part just where he wants it.
What a strange thing a body would be if it had only one
part! Yes, there are many parts, but only one body. The
eye can never say to the hand, "I don't need you." The
head can't say to the feet, "I don't need you." In fact,
some of the parts that seem weakest and least important
are really the most necessary.
John 17:11 NKJV
Holy Father, keep through Your name those whom You
have given Me, that they may be one as We are.

Mark 1:19
And when he had gone a little further thence, he saw
James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also
were in the ship mending {2675} their nets.
1 Peter 5:10 KJV
But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his
eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have
suffered a while, make you perfect {2675}, stablish,
strengthen, settle you.

THE ROAD TO RECOVERY 8/13/02
Healing is often more a process than a instant miracle.
There are all manners of healing and some kinds of
healing are like mending fish nets. One loop is
connected, another is untangled. I fill the gaps in
your life and help you to get rid of everything holding
you in bondage as I smooth out what is in disarray. I
repair you while you remain pliable in My hands and step
by step we complete the project of remodeling your life
into healthy abundance.
“But may the God of all grace, who called us to His
eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a
while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.
To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever.
Amen.” (1 Peter 5:10-11 NKJV) |
