"He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength."
-Isaiah 40:29
God will not only raise you up but He will give you power to pull yourself up.
When you grow faint, and we all do in this race, remember God and His strength.
God never faints or grows weary; God never sleeps. He's eyes are on you so whatever you're going through and whatever is causing you weariness or to grow faint, remember the power of God that lives down on the inside of you.
Rise up; take up your bed and walk.
He will renew your strength..
The Lord is my shepherd;
I have all that I need.
He lets me rest in green meadows;
he leads me beside peaceful streams.
He renews my strength.
He guides me along right paths,
bringing honor to his name.
Even when I walk
through the darkest valley,
I will not be afraid,
for you are close beside me.
Your rod and your staff
protect and comfort me.
You prepare a feast for me
in the presence of my enemies.
You honor me by anointing my head with oil.
My cup overflows with blessings.
Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me
all the days of my life,
and I will live in the house of the Lord
forever.
- Psalm 23
"How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power; who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with Him." - Acts 10:38
*God's will is always to heal.
"And He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; for this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins." - Matthew 26:26-28
The Cup: Emblem of Jesus' blood that was shed for sin.
The Body, Broken: Emblem of Jesus' body that was broken for us.
God gave everything! He redeemed mankind from the curse Adam's fall had brought upon us all......
We have available to us: salvation, peace of mind, healing, prosperity.
Communion is intimacy with our Lord and reminds us of His broken body and His blood...
before taken of the elements, ask Him to cleanse you of anything that would separate you from Him..for forgiveness.
Receive through this intimacy....let it flow over you and remind you of the price He paid for your healing and your salvation. Let it restore you and make you whole.
