Isaiah 53:5 He was pierced for our transgressions; He was crushed for our iniquities; upon Him was the chastisement that brought us peace, & with His wounds we are healed. 1Peter 2:24 He himself bore our sins in His body on the tree, that we might die to sin & live to righteousness. By His wounds you have been healed. Luke 4:40 While the sun was setting, all those who had any who were sick with various diseases brought them to Him; & laying His hands on each one of them, He was healing them. Acts 10:38“You know of Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed Him with the Holy Spirit & with power, & how He went about doing good & healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him. John 14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he do also; & greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. 2Peter 1:3-4 According as His divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life & godliness, through the knowledge of Him that hath called us to glory & virtue: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great & precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.”—Praying for those precious promises for all!

From Bill—Destined for the throne by Paul Billheimer is a great book. In it he demonstrates that the entire purpose of the universe and all of history is to prepare the bride of Christ. She will rule and reign forever with Jesus. Her lover and Lord. The Old Testament is the story of a nation writes Billheimer. The New Testament is the story of a man. The man is Jesus who came to live and die and rise so that the bride may be formed.  As Eve was formed from Adam, the church bride was formed by the blood gushing from the side of our Lord. Everything that exists and that has happened is for Gods purpose of preparing a bride for His son. All the great people of history are bit players or supporting cast for this one purpose to form or fashion or aid to the completion this union. When all is ready the marriage supper of the lamb takes place. Together as co equals the bride and our Lord will bring about Gods final plan. —Rev 3:21 21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with Me in My throne, even as I also overcame, & am set down with My Father in His throne.

Romans 8:28 We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose. Psalm 104:27-28 All creatures look to You to give them their food in due season. When You give it to them, they gather it up; when You open Your hand, they are satisfied with good things. John 16:33 I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world. —In this world there is hurt & trouble. When we put those hurts & troubles in God’s hands He promises that He will bring them for our good!! The key is putting them into His hands!! Remember by His hands we are fed! Don’t miss out by keeping it in your hands!! Release, release, release!! This is how freedom comes! Love Mel

Luke 12:34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. 1 Timothy 6:17-19 As for the rich in this present age, charge them not to be haughty, nor to set their hopes on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy. They are to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous & ready to share, thus storing up treasure for themselves as a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is truly life. —Real treasures- Love, compassion, & forgiveness! — God is Love & He tells us to love Him & love our neighbor! Eph 4:32 Be kind to one another, compassionate, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you. 1 Peter 3:8 Finally, all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, & a humble mind. — It is all driven by humility! Most unforgiveness comes from Pride! Pride is what got satan thrown out of heaven! This is the one thing that we need to shake off, get rid of! —Col 3:12 Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy & beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, & patience. Love Mel

Romans 8:34-39 Who is there to condemn us? For Christ Jesus, who died, & more than that was raised to life, is at the right hand of God & He is interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written: “For Your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.” No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor principalities, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers. neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
—Here are a few things that can get in the way of God’s love —trouble; hardship; persecution; famine; nakedness; danger; sword; death; life; angels; demons, the present; the future; powers; height; death. —And there are A few things that can drive us closer! —We need Him, when we need love! We need Him when we need encouragement. We need Him when we need more light. We need Him when we need Healing. I am sure there are more ways to write this statement! Just remember God is Love & He loves us! Love Mel
