“No
medicine or ointment cured them. They
were restored to health by your Word, O Lord, the word which heals all
humanity.” (Wisdom 16:12)

I was crushed and heartbroken when the
Sovereign Lord gave instructions to discontinue the public mission and also to
bring a halt to the Living Word publication. I would continuously beseech Him
for His Plan but when I lifted and meditated filled with the Holy Spirit the
divine message; I was convinced to never let go from His Mission even if
circumstances did not favor me.
What
followed then were 14 long years of waiting and silent prayers in absolute
obedience to the Lord’s instructions. It was more of a battle to overcome and
win the temptations brought in by the ruler of the world.
Years
passed and this time the Lord instructed me to take my diary and pen something.
The discontinuation of Living Word publication brought in me a palsy effect
that prevented me from using pen and paper.
In obedience and submission to His will I tried; but my heart would go
back to that juncture when my dreams were shattered. The pages of the opened
diary would be wet by my rolling tears and blank as I could not find proper
words or ideas to begin. Hours would
turn to days. Finally as fulfillment to God’s Plan ‘Living Word’ initiated.
Yes
dear ones, the Lord urged me to commence from that point where He shattered my
dreams for His mission. Today the wind of the Holy Spirit carries the message
of salvation through Living Word to numerous corners of the world; filling joy
to the hearts of its team members. All wrapped up in God’s Hidden mysteries,
Living Word when reaches its readers spreads delight and activeness of the Holy
Word adding shimmer to your days.
All
praises and glory to the Almighty God!
The
sovereign Lord took prophet Ezekiel to the valley of dry bones in a vision and
asked him, “Mortal man, can these bones come back to life?”
The
Prophet answered, “Sovereign Lord, only You can answer that.”
God
then told Ezekiel, “Prophesy to the bones, tell these dry bones to listen to
the Word of the Lord. Tell them that I, THE SOVEREIGN LORD AM SAYING TO THEM, I
AM GOING TO PUT BREATHE INTO YOU AND BRING YOU BACK TO LIFE. I WILL GIVE
YOU SINEWS AND MUSCLES AND COVER YOU WITH
SKIN. I WILL BRING BACK TO LIFE.”
Ezekiel
prophesized as God’s command and soon he heard a rattling noise. The bones
began to join together; it was covered with sinews, muscles and skin. Again God told Ezekiel to notify the wind
that the Lord commands it to blow from every direction to breathe life into the
dead bodies. Soon they came to life and stood up like an army!
People
whose lives do not include the True Lord are similar to the dry bones all ebbed
of any future and hope.
Dear
readers, the Scriptures say, “The word of God is alive and active, sharper than
any double edged sword. It cuts all the
way through, where soul and spirit meet, to where joints and marrow come
together. It judges the desires and
thoughts of men’s hearts.” (Heb 4 :12)
When
you repeatedly listen, recite, meditate or even confess the passage; it creates
new strength and hope within you. No matter what enslaves you, be it contagious
to incurable diseases, comatose, paralysis or an unsteady mind the power of the
Word of God, which is alive and active can definitely cover you with His life and
cure you.
Only
the Lord can command your shattered family to gather; and direct all your
failures towards success and His words would not fail.
Once
on His way to a religious festival, Lord Jesus saw a huge crowd of sick people
, including a man who had been sick for thirty eight years lying on the porch.
Jesus approached him and asked if he wanted to be healed; and the sick man
narrated his helpless situation. Then
Lord Jesus commanded him, “Get up pick up your mat and walk.” Those
life giving words of Lord Jesus, sharper than double edged sword pierced him
through his soul and mind, instilling his body the power to walk. As days advanced, Lord Jesus found the Teachers of the Law questioning him, then He warned him, “Stop sinning or something worse may happen to you.” This
is a deep lesson for each one of you who are blessed by God.
Let
us lowly remember that it is a great mystery that our Lord does not trumpet our
wrongdoings instead graciously forgives it and restores us back to sound
health. The
Word of God will often inspire you to cast away certain desires stuck to the
dark corners of your life to clear your bondage to receive healing and
liberation. Do not restrain it!
The
Word who created the wonderful heaven and earth; The Word who divided the red
sea to make dry ground for our ancestors; the Word who broke the wall of
Jericho; the Word who gave life to the dry bones is beside you.
Observe
with your faith the Lord who is the same yesterday, today and forever; the ‘I
AM WHO I AM’ commands you that He alone can
recreate
you from your present sorrowful condition. The succeeding invisible person, the
One who commanded and calmed the storms and waves; He who healed multitude of
disabled, blind, mute and restored their health; cast out the demonic powers;
permitted the disciples to walk on water; raised the dead back to life; initiated
many souls to salvation visits you every day through the spirit packed Word of
God which can bring life to the dead areas of your life.
May the Lord bless you and take
care of you. May He be kind and gracious to you. May the Lord look on you with
favor and give you peace.
With
love filled blessings,
Your
Sister in Christ
