the real story of healing touch

Nothing cures pain and abuse and suffering like Jesus. Many natural remedies from other humans, the environment and nature can all assist us to gain relief and limited healing. The real touch that can heal is Jesus.

The real thing that heals lack of touch is Jesus. How does that play through? There are believers here on earth who are his hands and feet. 

They can come and walk over to your location on earth, they can put their arms around you and place their hands on your heart. They can hear your stories and pray for you broken heart to be healed. They can pray for the pain you have experienced to be moved out of the memory of your mind, belly and soul and heart. They can pray for you to have a new heart. They can walk alongside you as you rebuild to have good touch again.

The promise is real and clear. This is not your granddaddy’s healing. This is the real thing. This is someone who has been neglected, abused and rejected to be so healed that they know they are nurtured, loved and accepted, to the point, they administer the same freedom that they have found to others.  The broken-hearted ones become the healers. The ones who have fallen along the way and become the ones who pick others up. The ones who have gotten lost become the ones who find others who are lost and point the way. The ones who were deceived are the ones who humbly know the one who knows all things.

This kind of healing from the pain of the past is accessible to everyone. This removal of bitter memories, of unspeakable crimes to unbelievable joy and solid future. This is the real thing. This is the one we serve. The good God. The one above all. The eternal one. The one who was before time and is not changing. He is the one who holds us in his hands and the future. He is the King of tomorrows and Today. He is not afraid. We can be confident that He wants to set the world straight. That he wants us to partner with him to set bent things straight again. To set imperfect to perfect. To set brokenness to beautiful wholeness.

This is the God. The Holy one. The righteous one. The one we know. The one who knows us. Hallelujah! He has set us free for freedom. He has not set us free from the past so we can be weighed down with his chains. He did not escape us out of our prison to lock us in a different cage.

Such good news!

Equality vs. Freedom

Rage about equality

Feminism has been touted as being able to upgrade women’s status to be the same as men. To have control over women’s own thoughts, bodies, occupations, pay structures and to be the god in selecting what they will or will not believe about things and make their own truth. To have the power over their own destinies and to decide how and when to share their time, sex, money and position with.

Equality underpinnings caused the great angel of heaven to see to be equal with God. He wanted to ascend and to rule and be equal. He was cast out of the presence of God and was defeated. His name is the Devil and Satan and he comes to deceive the whole world. Revelation 12:7-9. To make each person think that they can be gods over their own lives and worlds.

In high contrast, God, who came in the form of a little baby Jesus, did not consider equality with God something to rely on, he emptied himself and became a man. He relied on deep relationship with his father God to walk and live sinless on earth. He relied on this father-son relationship to get through the time on the cross. Philippians 2:5-8.  He was willing to submit to being a man and suffering as he died to save us.

The Devil is here on earth working hard to convince all of us that we must find the power within ourselves and rise up to be god of our own life. To make the rules we want for ourselves and to push away anyone who says we cannot. Anyone who seeks to limit our reckless idea of “freedom” over our own life. He encourages us to get rid of inconvenient people in our life, from an unborn baby, to a spouse, to a friend, to a boss, to parents, to government, to God.  Anyone who tries to prevent pleasure-seeking to cover the pain we feel of life. Anything that slows us down on our quest to have fun and enjoy life.

Jesus came to free us from our prison. To give us joy and peace. He came that we can have a friend to walk with on the path of life, who gives us peace and love and continues to guide us. A friend who picks us up when we fall down. A guide who is there to clean us up when we roll in the mud. Jesus gives us himself as the ultimate goal to go for and puts it in our hearts to want it and gives us the ability to attain it. He calls us up to be sons and daughters. He calls us up to do greater works than he himself did.

Instead of struggling with pushing away people who don’t agree, we can love them, we can kindly disagree, we can be an example of living free.

One final thought, Jesus said that all will be treated equally. There is no longer divisions between male and female, Jew and Greek, slave and master. He put all on equal footing. He offers himself as a bridge to peace and relationship with God.
