What joy, what rejoicing, awaits those who receive the victory of the Lord. Peter and John were on their way into the Temple to pray, when a lame man called out for help. Peter, unable to give money, gave something of greater value, he reached out his hand, pulled the lame man up, and as he did so, the man arose, completely healed!

There are many things we are unable to change; whatever we do or try, some circumstances can't be changed by human power alone. But suddenly, when Jesus speaks, everything changes for the better. 'Jesus got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm. The disciples were amazed and asked, "What kind of Man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey Him!"' 'My river's dried up Lord' used by kind permission of www.vinesong.com

The disciples marvelled at Jesus, "What kind of Man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey Him!" Despite all the miracles they had witnessed, something happened that one day which completely astonished them. We too need to discover the reality of who Jesus really is; He has power to completely change our lives. 'Let the great wind blow' used by kind permission of www.vinesong.com

Blessed are those who believe; though you do not see Him, you trust Jesus, and rejoice with a glorious, inexpressible joy. Even though you can't see Jesus, even though you can't touch Him, you can talk to Him through prayer. Jesus is as close to you as the words on your lips. 'Matthew 5' used by kind permission of www.vinesong.com

Jesus understands our weaknesses, for He faced all the same testings we do, yet He did not sin. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need (Hebrews 4:15-16). 'We come before Your throne' by www.vinesong.com

Jesus has power to heal every sickness and disease. As you come before Him in worship, with a spirit of faith and courage, you will be cleansed and healed. 'Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go' (Joshua 1:9).

'You intended this for harm, but God intended this for good, to bring about the salvation of many' (Genesis 50). Looking back over my life, I can see that God had a plan, He orchestrated each event; and even though at the time it didn't always make sense, God brought good out of it all, to bring salvation to many.  '(Master, Redeemer) I call Him Lord' used by kind permission of www.vinesong.com

I was sentenced to years in prison for Bible smuggling; when I had no food, I learnt how to pray; when I had no friends, I learnt how to pray; when I had no Bible, I learnt how to pray. I learnt how to talk to God in that prison. He was nearer to me in that prison than at any time before. Jesus was so near. He is friend! I know Him. I love Him! Hallelujah!

Jesus always knows in advance what is going to happen. And on this occasion, He felt the need to go alone to pray. - It is wonderful to pray together as a body of believers, but to receive strength for each day we need to be alone with God in prayer.

Jesus has a purpose in everything. I can tell you with absolute confidence, God is in control of my life! He is the boss. He is in control. He loves me. I do what He says. That is the simplicity of the Christian life. God is in control; my times are in His hands; I trust Him with my life.  'Heaven is God's throne' used by kind permission of www.vinesong.com

With Jesus it is never too late; if only you will come and believe that He can work the miracle. Just one touch from Jesus and He'll say, 'Go in peace, your faith has made you well.' I want you to understand, Jesus has the power to change your reality, there is nothing He cannot do! 'Another Touch' used by kind permission of www.vinesong.com

I believe in life after death. The Scripture teaches that death is not the end, it is only a beginning, it is the path to life eternal. There is a resurrection of the dead! The Apostle Paul taught, 'If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead!'  'See His Glory come down' used by kind permission of www.vinesong.com

Jesus is speaking very personally to you today, whether you have had a lifetime of pain and suffering, whether you are a father and mother, or if you are a child, He says to you, "Don't be afraid, just trust Me."  'Psalm 23' used by kind permission of www.vinesong.com

Sometimes we get a sense of tragedy in our lives: if only God had answered me; if only things had been different; if only I had gone in a different direction. - But this is the challenge to every one of us, Jesus asks, "Why are you afraid, only believe; trust in Me." 'O my soul rejoice' by www.vinesong.com

There is always trouble; there are always problems; but Jesus is there in the time of crisis. He gave us wonderful promises: "In this world you will have tribulation, but be of good cheer, for I have overcome the world! Although you have many afflictions, I will deliver you from them all!"

We can see the same miracles, yes, even greater, because Jesus is with the Father. Just believe and His Power is released! 'Truly I tell you, whoever believes in Me will do the same works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father' (John 14.12).

Jesus said, "These signs shall follow those who believe... they shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover." The same Power which raised Jesus from the dead, is the same Power that resides in you to see healing miracles: that is why Peter could confidently proclaim, "Rise and walk!" - 'Then Peter said, "Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise and walk."' (Acts 3.6) 'Signs and Wonders' used by kind permission of www.vinesong.com

I want to challenge you out into the deep waters with Jesus. Don't be content on the shore watching with the crowds from a distance, venture out into the deep. Make a determined effort to experience the power of God yourself; but it only comes when you go out into the deep waters with Jesus. 'When Jesus had finished speaking, He said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep waters, and let down your nets.' (Luke 5.4) 'Come up higher' used by kind permission of www.vinesong.com

When Jesus told Peter to let down his net, he didn't want to do it, and he had good reason not to. Peter was an expert fisherman; he knew the waters, the fish. However, he did what the Lord said to do despite his own experience and knowledge; and the results were far better than anything he could have ever imagined! The same blessings await you when you obey the Word of the Lord.  'The Living Word' used by kind permission of www.vinesong.com

If you are sick and need a healing touch from Jesus, I want to help you pray. Let me encourage you, the Scripture teaches that Jesus healed all who came to Him. Jesus is not only able to heal you, He also has the desire to heal you. He wants you to be well and live a healthy life. Sickness is from the devil. Health is from Jesus. I want you to get well anyway you can: take care of your body, seek medical help, and trust Jesus to do what medicine cannot do. 'Healing Stream' used by kind permission of www.vinesong.com
