NOTE:
Special thanks for the literally hundreds of
letters on Osella's behalf... she is trying to
answer each one as she can. She is back at work
now and this is her second day back and she
seems to be strong and doing well. She is quite
a gal of faith and just kept speaking Jesus'
Name everyday and saying, "I am healed!" Within
a couple of days of that and all of the prayers
that went up for her... she was/IS HEALED!
Praise His Name. I guess I enjoyed her
demonstration of faith so much I decided to come
down with it so she could pray me back too and
so I went through what she did - except I didn't
go to the hospital.., and this is my first day
back. We give Jesus the Glory for our Health
today and Plead the blood over every soul that
listens to this broadcast or reads the hardcopy,
that Jesus' Blood will heal you as well. In
Jesus' Name, Amen!
Scripture: "Death and life are in
the power of the tongue: and they that love it
shall eat the fruit thereof." Pro 18:21
(KJV)
If I asked the question this morning, "What is
your greatest asset?", I'm sure the responses
would indeed be interesting. But the truth is,
the greatest asset of any human being is his
ability to communicate. In this day and age of
technology - speech is often placed into many
forms and most of the time carries a high risk
of being misunderstood. I'm sure you've been a
part of an email exchange where you say
something totally innocent and the reader on the
other ends takes exception to it and becomes
very angry. Generally, those kinds of fires
smolder for days - if not weeks - maybe even
years... and it's really unfortunate since it
does nothing but expend an enormous amount of
energy and produce no positive affects.
Matthew 12:36 and 37 says...
"But I say
unto you, That every idle word that men shall
speak, they shall give account thereof in the
day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be
justified, and by thy words thou shalt be
condemned."
See what I
mean? Energy expended - lots of energy expended,
yet every idle word whether written or spoken,
as writing is a form of speech, someone will
have to give account for on the day of judgment.
You know,
my mind goes to that experience when Jesus knelt
before Peter, knowing full well that he would
betray him. He took the towel and the basin and
Peter being astonished at the Lord's kneeling to
wash his feet, asked, "Lord, dost thou wash my
feet?"
So many
have seen that as merely an act of a servant on
the part of Jesus - and it was, but it was so
much more. Knowing that Peter would betray Him,
He washed his feet in forgiveness and as
a sign of everlasting fellowship with him.
Oh if Peter had only grasped the
communication of Our Lord as He took the
towel and washed Peter's feet and then wiped
them clean... and systematically went around the
room until everyone He called was
clean... Oh my friend... that's communication!
That's Provision! That's Jesus! Oh to be more
like Him.
Carry that
thought with you today will you? Remembering
that His WORD tells us to,
"In all
thy Ways Acknowledge Him, and He shall direct
thy paths. " Proverbs 3:6 (KJV)
Father
Help me to learn how to communicate more
effectively by spending more time in Your WORD,
and in fellowship with you. Teach my O
Lord to allow you to wash my feet, to wash my
hands and to wash my head before I ever even
think of interacting with others. In Jesus'
Name, I Pray, Amen.
