“This is what the Lord says – he who made a way through the sea, a path through the mighty waters;  forget the former things;  do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing!  I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.”  ~ Isaiah 43:16,18.19

     What wonderful words to live by as we get ready to start a new year! We have seen the beginning of this at A Healing Place this past year as we have prayed with many people.  We have taken on a new attitude about some things as we see how God is working in our midst. Many people have come for prayer over the years to be healed of cancer. It is often referred to as “the big C”. We at A Healing Place declare that cancer, as terrible as it is, will not intimidate us, and we will not give it the status that most people do as they cower in fear at its name. We declare that there is only one name that is deserving of “the big C” and that name is Christ Jesus.  He is the big C; everything else under the heavens is subject to his will and his power.

     Tammi Marshburn and Rich Gilstrap are two examples of how God is blessing his people as he ministers to them by physically healing them of cancer. And if that wasn’t enough, his blessing and healing went beyond the physical as he ministered to their souls and blessed their lives in multiple ways during their cancer journey. Another woman, who does not choose to be named, came for prayer for Ovarian cancer. When she returned to her doctor for further testing and treatment consultation, her doctor told her that her cancer was in remission. In the past few years, God has touched many lives who reached out to A Healing Place for healing of their bodies, their spiritual hearts, relationships, finances, and all manner of challenges. One thing we can claim for certain, according to each and every person who has come, is that God meets them there, and they are different than when they arrived. We often see the evidence of this by their countenance even if they do not say anything at the time.

     There are actually people who don’t know why they’ve come when they arrive, but they understand when they leave because God has ministered to a need they didn’t know they had, or revealed truth to them that they needed in order to grow in their faith and character. We have had the joy of both ministering to children and witnessing children minister to others. Such beauty!

     We invite you to come to A Healing Place every Saturday between 10:00 and 11:30 a.m.  There is no request too small to pray for, and certainly, God promises that there is no need too large for him to handle. The chorus of one of my favorite worship songs, Chain Breaker, by Zach Williams says this:

     If you've got pain, He's a pain taker

     If you feel lost, He's a way maker

     If you need freedom or saving, 

           He's a prison-shaking Savior

     If you've got chains, He's a chain breaker

                             ~   ~   ~   ~   ~

       

                             Amen and amen!

                             ~   ~   ~   ~   ~

Another opportunity for you:

In the midst of all that is going on in our nation and around the world, and all that has been expected of us during the Christmas season, many people are searching for peace, wondering why it seems to elude us. After all, the night Jesus was born the angels who appeared to the shepherds proclaimed peace.  Want to find out more? You can read my blog post entitled, "Peace? What Peace?"
