Happy New Year! Welcome 2017!

     We look forward to serving you in 2017 at A Healing Place. We welcome you to visit us any Saturday morning between 9:00 and 10:30.  Since we started in March 2012, we have served more than 400 individuals. We have witnessed physical healings, emotional healings, spiritual awakenings, and the miracle of deliverance and freedom. Financial needs have been met. Some have received salvation and are starting their brand new life for the first time.
     We just celebrated Christmas last week. Just what did we celebrate?  The birth of a Savior who came to “…bind up the wounds of the brokenhearted…” (Psalms 147:3) and “to seek and to save that which was lost” (Luke 19:10). He came to heal the physically sick, as recorded in Matthew 15:30 and many other scriptures. “Great crowds came to him, bringing the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute and many others, and laid them at his feet; and he healed them.”  And because the Bible tells us that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and because we have witnessed it ourselves, we know that God continues to heal today, according to His Will.
     During this past Advent season, our pastors have been teaching us about the word Shalom, which the English translation is peace. However, our word peace is much too wimpy and vague to convey the whole meaning of Shalom. It is not simply one word or idea. Shalom means completeness, wholeness, health, peace, welfare, safety, soundness, tranquility, prosperity, perfectness, fullness, rest, harmony, the absence of agitation or discord. It encompasses the idea of putting back together that which was broken, and putting it to rights as regarding relationships and lives.
     The opportunity to experience Shalom is the gift the angels sang about and announced the night God sent his son Jesus into our world.  Look at that definition again. If your life falls short of the wholeness of Shalom, Jesus can fix that! Join us at A Healing Place. God will meet you there!
