Scripture : Jeremiah 33: 6-9
`Nevertheless, I will bring health and healing to it; I will heal my people and will let them enjoy abundant peace and security. I will bring Judah and Israel back from captivity and will rebuild them as they were before. I will cleanse them from all the sin they have committed against me and will forgive all their sins of rebellion against me. Then this city will bring me renown, joy, praise and honor before all nations on earth that hear of all the good things I do for it; and they will be in awe and will tremble at the abundant prosperity and peace I provide for it.'
Theme : Healing God
Today, I want to share God's grace with you same subject as last month.
One day, A lady meet a bad guy while walking down the street to go the office. bad guy tease her that she has small eyes and talk to her open eyes wide. she was unhappy because she think small eyes is handicap to her. but she became change her mind as brighter after get to
the office when her friends say hello and some friend make a joke, all uncomfortable feeling is disappeared during she chat with friends . we call this, mood disorder.
The other lady has same situation but result is totally different.
uncomfortable feeling is not changed. however time has passed she feel unhappy whenever she think about the bad guy or she has been suffering from uncomfortable feeling all the times. this is called personnel disorder.
the problem is that a lots of people don't know themselves that they are personnel disorder and give and receive a hurt from others with very small worthless matters. they think it is normal and usual. Even though many people are faced with same difficulty but reactions are all different. the reason is that every people has different spiritual health.
Every one! is this short or long. what is the criteria. we can say this is short or long when there is a certain criteria. then how about your life? is it normal or abnormal. what is the criteria?
let me take a foodstuffs examples. if you purchase fruit or vegetables at the market and their smell and color are fresh with fragrant and others are rotting, mildew, withered, odor. which do you think is normal,
For car example, If we step on the brake pedal, car stops immediately. if we turn on the switch, engine starts right away. but however we try to start to engine, it doesn't work properly, if we push the brake pedal, it doesn't stop. which is normal between good condition or bad condition. if the car would not be worked properly, owner let the car go to the car center for repair
I think human is very similar as computer. computer is consisted of hard ware and soft ware. we use the computer to use the soft ware. we can't use it however hard ware looks good and if it would be made of gold or diamond if soft ware is very poor quality. on the contrary, the hard ware looks very poor but soft ware is new version with high capacity, we gladly to use it without problems.
human consists of body and the soul with spirit. If I explain as computer, our body is applied hardware and our soul and spirit come under software.
Even though there is a high capacity computer, we can't use it if computer is contaminated with viruses or malicious code. computer doesn't react however we touch the keyboard. the computer price is determined by soft ware capacity not hare ware at all. and no one make a computer hard ware as gold or diamond. Of course, we can't use it if the hard ware would be broken but Main purpose of the computer is to use the soft ware.
As to the industrial products, new one is normal. if there would be a problems. we let them send the repair shop then repairman repair it as new quality, as like original status after replacing the old and trouble parts.
now then, what is the criteria of normal or abnormal of soul and spirit for human.
Genesis 1: 26. Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness,
Genesis 2: 7. the LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being. I think you understand the living being.
John 20 : 22. And with that he breathed on them and said, "Receive the Holy Spirit.
Isaiah 64 : 8. Yet, O LORD, you are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand.
2Corinthians 4: 7. But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.
It is very clear that our body is hard ware made of dust of the ground and our soul and spirit is soft ware made from breath of life
First human of Adam and Eve, their soul and spirit are united with holy spirit as one body and accompany with God.
John 14: 26-27. But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
Galatians 5: 22. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
the mind of Adam and Eve had a mind of God, that is, they were full of holy spirit.
If you are full of holy spirit and have an abundant fruits of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. you are normal.
but Adam and Eve commits sins and their mind has changed as below from normal to abnormal.
Galatians 5: 19. The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery;
20. idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions, envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
2 Timothy 3: 2-4 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God.
I was not recognized myself even though I have a serious problems. I had lived with deep wound in mind. it was mental trauma. I couldn't endure when I meet an unfair, unpleasant things as like I mentioned above lady who met a bad guy on the street. and it last very long time. it has been teasing me without time and space and I was used to explode my anger with even trivial matters to someone. shame to say that they were mostly weaker than me. first my family, next my junior officers or soldier, company staffs. I thought they had made me angry and irritation. I thought I'm innocent and normal. It was quite fair for me to vent my anger those who treated me unfair, unpleasant and sometimes mistake for job or duty. I didn't know what was normal and abnormal. I didn't have a peace in mind and I'm always tense. to tell the truth, I lost peace. I was aware in late 50s that I had series troubles in mind. I was apparently abnormal.
How about you? are you all normal so it doesn't need for healing.
I started to study the inner healing, at the same time, I was got healed from experience counselor. the basic principle of healing is forgiveness those who gave a pain and disclose every things which have experienced in life, specially painful things what they don't want to recall and memory.
At the healing seminar, one lady was fainted foaming at the mouth and gnash her teeth shouting no no never when pastor asked her for forgive her father who didn't look after and abuse and beat her. It is really not easy matter to forgive someone who gave a deep pain.
I could get somewhat peace because of forgiveness and disclosure but I have been tight captured by painful memory and it never set me complete free. It has been chasing me and make me to vent my anger whenever I face unpleasant things.
However I try to remove and forget the bitter memory at the brain, I couldn't do it. it sticks like a leech and shadow. Zechariah 4:8 Not by might nor by power, nor weeping, nor effort but by my Spirit,' says the LORD Almighty.
I had to go back to Bible and pray to find out the solution.
2Corinthians 10 : 4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. what is the strongholds? where is it?
Matthew 12: 43. "When an evil spirit comes out of a man, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it.
44. Then it says, `I will return to the house I left.' When it arrives, it finds the house unoccupied, swept clean and put in order.
45. Then it goes and takes with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that man is worse than the first. That is how it will be with this wicked generation."
all people including us think that Judas iscariot hand Jesus over to the high priest to sentence to death. and Judas iscariot himself also confessed Matthew 27 :4. "I have sinned," he said, "for I have betrayed innocent blood."
but bible tell us back ground why Judas did
John 13: 2. The evening meal was being served, and the devil had already prompted Judas Iscariot, son of Simon, to betray Jesus
Judas mere reacted by control of devil.
Genesis 4: 8. Now Cain said to his brother Abel, "Let's go out to the field." And while they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.
But Bible explain us different way at the
1John 3: 12. Do not be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own actions were evil and his brother's were righteous.
Jeremiah 33: 7 says that I will bring Judah and Israel back from captivity and will rebuild them as they were before.
Now, we don't study Israelite history. Bible tell us for our soul and spirit for eternal life from 1st to last. there is no Judah and Israel which are captured by Babylonian near here. God wants bring sally, mari, muthu instead of Judah and Israel. God wants to bring you and us not captured from Babylonian but captured by witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, anger, wrath, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions, envy drunkenness, orgies, and the like caused by all sins. God wants to rebuild us as we were before not them. when was before? it was before that Spirit is filled with full of holy spirit of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. it is status of Adam and Eve before commits sin. It is complete healed. then this city will bring me renown, joy, praise and honor before all nations on earth that hear of all the good things I do for it; and they will be in awe and will tremble at the abundant prosperity and peace I provide for it.' This city signify us as spiritual meaning.
I became understand it is evil spirit to make me great distress sticks like a leech. I'm now completely free.
1Peter 5:8. Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. they have attacked us without limitation of time and space.
Everyone
Ephesians 6: 12 says that For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
but God tell us don't worry, faintheart, terrify, afraid, dismay caused by them. why.
Matthew 28: 20 surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.
John 14: 18. I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.
John 16: 33. But take heart! I have overcome the world."
Hebrew 13: 5. God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you."
Isaiah 58 : 9. Then you will call, and the LORD will answer; you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I. "If you do away with the yoke of oppression, with the pointing finger and malicious talk,
Everyone, Do you want complete healing and enjoy freedom yourself,
- 1st confess all sins and disclose all bitter memories before Jesus.
- 2nd forgive all people who have made you pain and distress.
Bible asks us Colossians 3:13 Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.
And then, wrongdoer normally don't remember at all how much himself inflict others and live well while victims have been suffering.
Pls remember forgiveness is choice.
- 3rd Defeat the enemy of evil spirit which attack you in various way as thinking in the name of Jesus.
James 4: 7. Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Beloved Congregations!
Hoping all of you to be healed completely and enjoy perfect freedom which is given by Jesus. Amen.
