My first blog. I admit, I am a little intimidated. I am not sure where this is going, but I will try to keep it more like a blog and less like my diary. Sometimes, I feel like I am going to explode when God is revealing or teaching me. Maybe, just maybe I could share my heart and you'd be encouraged. And if that doesn't happen....at least I am procrastinating studying and writing about Jesus. win win.
Tonight at church we were singing "I Am Set Free" by All Sons and Daughters (check them out if you haven't) and we sang "it is for freedom I have been set free." That led me to the thought it is for Jesus I've been set free. I thought just how much freedom is healing and THEN I was taken back to Nicaragua where I lay on the floor being touched by Jesus and Him speaking to for the first time ever!
Let me give you a little of that story. One day in Nicaragua, our missions team performed a skit for the children. I played the woman that was healed after being sick for 12 years. (See Matthew 9:22) The skit went well and our day continued as normal. But then entered the abnormal. Our team began to pray and worship. Those sounds I will never forget. As Jessica prayed over me I felt the Lord speak to my heart and my life hasn't been the same since.....Jesus said:
"Take heart daughter your faith has made you well." It is his cloak that heals us and cloak that frees us. The touch of Jesus. His presence.
Then I am back in the present AND THEN THE WORSHIP LEADER began to say a lot of what was happening in my heart. He talked about freedom and deliverance and then talked about THAT WOMAN. That woman touched Jesus and HE SAID take heart your faith has healed you.
All of this to say, there is freedom in healing. It is for freedom Christ set us free!
