God loves you. And because He loves you, He wants the best for your life—restoration and wholeness. That’s why Jesus Christ willingly laid down His life, died, and rose again. His sacrifice has provided the way for us to find and experience the healing and restoration we need.

God has a plan for your life, and He wants to heal you everywhere you hurt. John 10:10 says thatJesus came to give usabundant life, and part of that abundant life is making sure you are healthy and whole—physically, spiritually, mentally and emotionally.

But the truth is you cannot “catch” health like you can disease. For example, if you're around somebody who has a cold, you don't have to do anything to catch it. You can get it by just by being around them because that's the nature of sickness and disease. But you can be around a healthy person and you won’t catch their health.You have to choose health.

Think about it like this: If I have a headache, I take an aspirin to get relief from it. I have to swallow the pill for it to work. If I put it on top of my head, it won’t do anything for me. God’s Word is medicine for our spirit, soul and body, and the way we experience its power is by speaking it out loud, praying it to God, meditating on it, and believing it. When you speak His Word over your life, it releases that power into your life. It won’t work for us if we just have a Bible and leave it on the shelf. We have to use it.

God wants to make you whole, and what He’s asking you to do is believe what His Word says more than you believe what you think or how you feel. Keep speaking His Word over your circumstances and in His timing,He’ll complete the good work He’s begun in you!

that is very good. I have been struggling lately, I have been speaking and praying God's word over my life. doubt just seems to always faollow. thoughts come like "Thats just words. it won't do anything." I will keep speaking it though. you are right, we have to keep it up.question though. Will God still move and work through his word if we are having trouble believing in him and his word?

Sweet_eyes,
God even moves when we doubt Him....before you came to him willing...you doubted him. But did that stop him from receiving you with His open arms. In each trial in your life, you will gain greater Faith. Alot of People in the world believe that theirs no God...But does it stop Him from moving....We are God's creation and no matter who believes or not....who has Faith or not....God will never stop moving. If that was the case...He would stay stuck for a long time doing nothing, with how many people who doubt Him....understand Sweetie?

:) THANKS BECKY216 FOR THE BEAUTIFUL MESSAGE. { WITHOUT FAITH IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE GOD}. THIS IS WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS, WE MUST GET OUT OF FIRST GEAR OF STAGNENCY AND MOVE INTO FAITH. THERE WAS A MAN AT THE POOL IN THE BOOK OF JOHN 5: 5 THAT WASN'T WELL FOR 38 YEARS. JESUS ASKED HIM DOES HE WANT TO GET WELL? I KNOW THIS MAN DIDN'T GIVE UP HIS FAITH AFTER 38 YEARS, AND WAITED DAY AFTER DAY, FOR A MIRACLE TO HAPPEN. ONE DAY IT DID, WITHOUT HIM EVEN GOING INTO THE BETHESDA POOL NEAR THE SHEEP GATE. WHAT HAPPENED AFTER THAT WAS EVEN MORE A MIRACLE. THE MAN DIDN'T EVEN KNOW IT WAS JESUS. ALL HE HAD WAS FAITH. THE JEWISH LEADERS SAW HIM CARRYING HIS MAT ON A SABBATH, AND HE TOLD HIM A MAN HEALED HIM AND TOLD HIM TO ROLL HIS MAT UP AND GO HIS WAY. IF YOU READ ON IT TELLS THE REST OF THE STORY. FAITH IS NEEDED TO MOVE THE IMPOSSIBLE WORKS OF HUMAN HANDS. A ANOINTED PRAYED OVER NAPKIN, CAN BE A POINT OF CONTACT OF FAITH. MANY OF THE HANDKERCHIEFS AND CLOTHINGS OF PAUL WERE USED IN HEALINGS. JESUS HIMSELF WAS A POINT OF CONTACT TO THE FATHER, AND TAUGHT US TO PRAY TO THE FATHER. HE SAID WHAT SO EVER YOU ASK IN MY NAME. TO ME THIS SCRIPTURE IS AMAZING BECAUSE HE HEALED HIM BECAUSE OF HIS FAITH, AND NOT BECAUSE WHO HE WAS. THIS IS A GREAT LESSON, NOT TO PUT OUR TRUST IN A HUMAN MAN THOUGH HE DID NOT KNOW IT WAS JESUS THE SON OF GOD, HIS FAITH WAS IN THE WATERS OF THE POOL. .

God is really there, He is with you , in the thought-of prison you think you're in waiting with His prism of Love, for you to enter, take that pain away, completely, of capture, which is by the Enemy, but not of God's power to hold you down, writhing, for He meets your hurting with healing, sweetyou :)

Jesus came to give us abundant life, Christ peeps.

Do you know what kind of life this means?

And, no, Jesus is not speaking of our life with Him after death, which will be beyond our understanding of abundance. But, yes, while here on earth. Jesus speaks of us not just coming here that we 'might have life, but that we have it abundantly.'

Abundant= ample, copious, plentiful, profuse.

So live with confidence, go forward knowing Christ's grace will carry you through your 'great' suffering at hand, for YOU have Him leading you, inside you, carrying you through your hurt and pain and remember there is never ever God guilting you with shame and blame, only Love, God is Love, sometimes, it is, indeed, 'tough love,' (God disciplines His own, Scripture states) but it is still, indeed, His Love to help you, reach you, explain to you His great plan for your life is still going to be, if you let Him grace-fully lead, abundant :)
