23rd May 2022

Good morning,

My sermon yesterday was talking generally, about healing; about how we live our life and how we can learn so much, by the way Jesus did to heal the man by the pool at Beth-Zatha. 

There are lessons to be learned about how we should ask ourselves if we are willing to put up with the same old circumstances, the same old routine.

Jesus has always been about breaking the old mould and making us new; but do we listen to that small voice inside us?

We need to listen (and hear) what Jesus is saying to us. By doing this I believe our life will be much better and we too will be much happier.  I have a bigger question for you today - what are we doing with our souls?

We make up our own [Trinity] in our mind, body and soul; if any one of these areas are not being attended to, then we will be completely out of balance.

We have one life, and we must live it to the full - to our maximum potential. God gave us our life and we should see ourselves through God’s eyes.

God sees a different person than we see for ourselves. God sees us without judgment; God sees our potential whether were using it or not.

So I ask yet another question - are we getting in our own way? Are we impeding our own progress? If so, we need to ask for help.

Asking for help is not weak, or negative; in fact. It is the most positive thing that we can do; do we need help or healing? Or is that just for other people? 

Healing is not just for sick; healing is for all parts of us; for our minds, our bodies and our souls.

Healing comes in many ways and it can change our perspective on life; it can give us an opportunity to change for the better. I have to say this though - don’t expect flashing lights and thunderclaps, or angels floating down from your ceiling! Healing comes quietly, gently, descending upon a person.

Healing might just be changing our mind or it might encourage us to do something differently. Jesus is our helper and our healer; we mortals are not in charge of healing, it’s sent from God, Jesus and through the Holy Spirit.

I urge you all, don’t just live a 1/3 or 2/3 of your life; live the whole (100%) of your life, experiencing all that you can.

God is limitless; God is powerful and incredible, So, please, find some time this week to reconnect with God. God, who loves you more than anything, or anyone, in the world. Let’s live our lives fully, loving one another, and giving thanks to God, Amen.

In Christ
