Heal My Inner Self


KATHY GABLER—David prayed in Psalm 41:4, “Heal my inner self.” (Amp)  We all have wounds in our lives that we cannot fit into a pretty picture:  experiences that seem to deny God’s goodness, injustices that oppose His plans, conditions that contradict faith, circumstances that seem to defy God’s presence and relationships that resist His love.  Jesus told us offenses would come, Matthew 18:7; and the truth is that we have all suffered the wounds of offense, injustice and loss.  But the greater issue is that our experiences can either Equip us or Cripple us.  It is the will of our Father that we be healed and equipped.


Better Together

HorsesPullTogetherAn essential principle of God is that “two are better than one” (Ecc.l4:9). In the remainder of 2020 people of God will partner for effect. One shall set a 1000 to flight but two shall set 10,000 to flight. “If two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it shall be done for them…”(Matt.18:19). God is going to use small groups to defeat mighty opposition. We will commit to defeat together what we cannot overcome alone. It’s God’s Word.
