Anyone in Need of Healing?

Nothing, absolutely nothing can separate you from the Love of God; know that he loves you dearly and desires for you to just take a deep breath and rest in His embrace!

Your experience of this contradiction is not your measure; Jesus is your only valid measure; Eph 4:7

The dimensions of his love for you exceeds height, length, breadth , width or any possible measure that we would employ to define his love

What He has done in Christ to rescue our minds from fear and inferiority and guilt and every possible accusation cannot be exhausted or exaggerated!

We can confidently gaze deeply, not into the problem and its history, but into the revelation of his love demonstrated in the cross and resurrection of Jesus from the dead

James encourages us to look deeply into the mirror, the law of our perfect liberty: we see there the evidence of our redeemed identity, innocence and perfect wholeness!

Jas 1:22  By being a mere spectator in the audience you underestimate yourself  (you come to an inferior conclusion about who you really are) . You are God’s poem, let His voice make poetry of your life!

 (A hearer only, remains a mere spectator. A doer of the Word,  poetes, poet. To deceive yourself,  paralogizomai underestimate - Thayer Definition: 1. to reckon wrong, miscount 2. to cheat by false reckoning, to deceive by false reasoning 3. to deceive, delude, circumvent).

Jas 1:23  The difference between a mere spectator and a participator is that both of them hear the same voice and perceive in its message the face of their own genesis reflected as in a mirror;

Jas 1:24  they realize that they are looking at themselves, but for the one it seems just too good to be true, he departs  (back to his old way of seeing himself) never giving another thought to the man he saw there in the mirror.

Jas 1:25  The other one is mesmerized by what he sees, he is captivated by the effect of a law that frees man from the obligation to the old written code that restricted him to his own efforts and willpower. No distraction or contradiction can dim the impact of what he sees in that mirror concerning the law of perfect liberty (the law of faith) that now frees him to get on with the act of living the life (of his original design.) He finds a new spontaneous lifestyle; the poetry of practical living. (The law of perfect liberty is the image and likeness of God revealed in Christ, now redeemed in man as in a mirror. Look deep enough into that law of faith that you may see there in its perfection a portrait that so resembles the original that He becomes distinctly visible in the spirit of your mind and in the face of every man you behold.

Mesmerized, parakupto, para, a preposition indicating close proximity, a thing proceeding from a sphere of influence, with a suggestion of union of place of residence, to sprung from its author and giver, originating from, denoting the point from which an action originates, intimate connection, and kupto, to bend, stoop down to view at close scrutiny, parameno, to remain under the influence. Freedom, eleutheria, without obligation.)

Jas 1:26  Meaningless conversation is often disguised in religious eloquence. Just because it sounds sincere, doesn't make it true. If your tongue is not bridled by what your heart knows to be true about you, you cheat yourself.

I also want to give you Heb 4 and know that even while you read this the Spirit of truth powerfully illuminates your understanding to realize His working within you! Light dispels darkness, no disease has what it takes to resist his healing virtue operating on you and restoring you to perfect health! By his stripes you have been healed!

Heb 4:10  God’s rest celebrates His finished work; whoever enters into God’s rest immediately abandons his own efforts to complement what God has already perfected.  (The language of the law is “do”; the language of grace is “done.”)

Heb 4:11  Let us therefore be prompt to understand and fully appropriate that rest and not fall again into the same trap that snared Israel in unbelief.

Heb 4:12  The message that God spoke in Christ becomes a living and powerful influence in us, cutting like a surgeon's scalpel, sharper than a soldier’s sword, piercing to the deepest core of human conscience, to the dividing of soul and spirit, ending the dominance of the sense realm and its neutralising effect upon the human spirit. In this way man’s spirit is freed to be the ruling influence again in the thoughts and intentions of the heart. The scrutiny of this word detects every possible disease, discerning the body’s deepest secrets where joint and bone-marrow meet. (The moment we cease from our own efforts to justify ourselves, by yielding to the integrity of the message that announces the success of the cross, God’s word is triggered into action. What God spoke to us in sonship (the incarnation), radiates his image and likeness in our redeemed innocence. (1:1-3) This word powerfully penetrates and impacts our whole being; body, soul and spirit.)

Heb 4:13  The whole person is thoroughly exposed to his scrutinizing gaze. Every creature’s original form is on record in the Word.  (Representing God’s desire to display His image and likeness in man.)

Heb 4:14  In the message of the incarnation we have Jesus the Son of God representing humanity in the highest place of spiritual authority. That which God has spoken to us in him is his final word. It is echoed now in the declaration of our confession.

Heb 4:15  As High Priest he fully identifies with us in the context of our frail human life. Having subjected it to close scrutiny, he proved that the human frame was master over sin. His sympathy with us is not to be seen as excusing weaknesses that are the result of a faulty design, but rather as a trophy to humanity.  (He is not an example for us but of us.)

Heb 4:16  For this reason we can approach the authoritative throne of grace with bold utterance. We are welcome there in his embrace, and are reinforced with immediate effect in times of trouble. 

(boetheia, to be reinforced, specifically a rope or chain for frapping a vessel in a storm.)
