Thank You, Jesus, for the stripes that You took for my healing. I am healed by Your stripes! (1 Pet. 2:24)
Hope things are good for youall! Love Shell xoxo
Today three in our family are home ill with the flu.. Myself, Sebastian our oldest and Keanu our third child who has been sick since the midst of last week.. Thankfully my husband has a day off work and got the other three children off to school.. My parents came and made beds upstairs as well this morning.. I am well taken care of.. Praise God!!
This is a beautiful song by Michelle Tumes called Healing Waters.. I was reading these scriptures today and they tie in so well.. from John 7: 37-38
On the last and greatest day of the Feast, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him."
More from Jesus about what He has to offer us.. from John 4:13-14
Jesus answered, "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life."
On our own we would dry up so quickly because the sources we draw from do not satisfy and they are so short in supply, sometimes so much work to drink from.. they are likened to stagnant pools.. Keeping us alive and that is about it.. but coming to Jesus and drawing from Him brings refreshment, satisfaction and strength to continue on.. We find that He is with us at every step.. even in dry and hot places.. difficult places.. dangerous places.. a life giving drink is always available!! In fact we can jump right on in to be totally immersed in Him and all He is!!
Lyrics to the song above..
Michelle Tumes ~ Healing Waters
I've built a bridge
All of my strength cannot cross over
I stand at the edge
The end of a road that I have followed
Sinking from the weight of my own world
Wanting the waves of Your ways to wash my feet
Healing waters
Healing waters
Solace flows
Through the river of forgiveness to my soul
Oh, I need You
Healing waters
Pour over me
Water to clean all my intentions
Baptising streams
I swim in the freedom of redemption
Floating on the sea of purity
Knowing I can dive in the love that rescues me
Memories are raging high
Floods so deep they touch the sky
All the things I've done to You
All the parts of life untrue
Healing comes from outstretched hands
Saving me from what I am
Carry me
Carry me
In the words of Jesus “You are the light of the world – like a city set on a mountain, glowing in the dark for all to see. Don’t hide your light under a basket! Instead, put it on a stand for all to see, so everyone will praise your heavenly Father” (Matthew 5:14-16). As a child of God you bring light wherever you go. The darkness has to flee when you show up! Never despair! Stay the course if you are the only Christian in your home, school, or work. The place where you live is a dark place spiritually, but it is also full of light: you and all other believers whom Jesus calls “a light set on a hill that cannot be hid.” Let the light of Jesus shine out of your life wherever you live. Through your life God has an open door to your family, neighbors and community. Let the light loose! Remember the Father’s pointed words: “The eyes of the Lord search the whole earth in order to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to Him” (2 Chronicles 16:9). You are never alone!
****
You can make a difference when the full power of God dwells within!!
****
Your presence in the world forms
and fashions a significant and vital portion of God’s kingdom on this earth RIGHT NOW.
You are not just a shell that He fills; no, you are NEW CREATURE that has new DNA.
You are no longer human, you are now a new species, one He calls SON or
DAUGHTER, a bride espoused to His Son Jesus. His enjoyment over you is full, rich
and with much emotion. Do you hear Him singing and dancing over you?
I found the two bigger paragraphs written at the site below.. where you can find more wonderful encouraging words...

The more i seek you,
the more i find you
The more i find you, the more I love you
C:I wanna sit at your feet
drink from the cup in your hand.
Lay back against you and breath, here your heart beat
This love is so deep, it's more than I can stand.
I melt in your peace, it's overwhelming
(From Top)
Chorus:4x

In short,
Jesus did not heal people to prove he was God;
he healed them because he was God.

This seems to be one reason for the success of Kathryn Kuhlman's celebrated healing services:
In the miracle services a community of love and acceptance is created. People feel secure enough to lay aside the barriers of fear, distrust, and egotism that have shut them off not only from fruitful contact with their fellowman but from their own deeper selves. There is a yielding up of self-isolation. The individual loses himself in the group, the smybol of the loving family where one is accepted in spite of his faults and sins. He identifies with the needs of others. He sometimes forgets his own illness, his own needs, in praying for someone else whose need is greater. In his self-forgetfulness, as it happens, he is healed.


I am currently reading this book.. (along with others and I don't think I have had so many books on the go at once ever...
) called The Jesus Vision... Praise God it is online and that is why even as I sit here reading.. I have to share it anyone else who might want to read it..
It is about signs and wonders in the Muslim world!!
Good news has to be shared doesn't it if one can!! You can find the book at this address in the link..
The Jesus Vision ~ I linked to the page where it shares the introduction by the author.. Christine Darg.. You can find the rest of the chapters from that page!! Ha.. I am only on chapter one.. LOL.. but it is so good I have to share.. I often wonder how Mary.. the mother of Jesus ever could not tell everyone of the great things that happened to her.. but she wisely treasured them in her heart.. I am one probably over eager person who likes to share and maybe too quickly somtimes.. Blogs are a good place because I tend to e-mail everything to people.. and some people.. hmm.. LOL.. are not as enthusiastic as me about this stuff!! And they must have too much mail to answer and read..
Here is a little insert from the part I just read.. Be blessed.. and thank YOU JESUS for your compassion and mercy on the world that all might be saved!!

Middle-Eastern Jesus Appears to Western Girl
As a very young child, I was very ill and almost died. My Mother said that I had lost all of my hair, suffered from rheumatic fever and was wasting away. One of my earliest childhood memories was the Lord Jesus appearing to me in an open vision. But unlike some Sunday School pictures of a “Western Jesus,” this Christophany was a Middle Eastern Man with long dark curly hair, brown compassionate eyes and Mediterranean complexion. He was wearing a green and white stripped Biblical robe. From His appearance, He could have been a Jewish King or a Middle Eastern sheik; He was definitely Semitic. I believe He knew that I would one day live in the Bible lands. He said with warm compassion, "You are going to be healed.
" I was fearful and awed by the vision and momentarily turned my head to the side. When I looked again, He was gone, but I was healed! To this day I am blessed with vigorous health and travel throughout the world for Jesus!
Many years later when I was interceding for the Mideast, I saw the Lord again in a vision. I beheld His sacred wounds, which remain open, so that His stripes and wounds continually heal us by faith. The stigmata (marks) Jesus still bears are evidence of the penalty He paid for our sins and sicknesses so we do not have to bear them. He accomplished a perfect Atonement. What a Savior! What a Healer!
I also saw the whip that was used to tear His flesh when the Roman soldiers scourged Jesus. To my surprise, in the vision my hand was holding the whip! This was because my sins and sicknesses were the cause of His sufferings. (We must all recognize ourselves as accomplices in the death of Jesus, because it was our collective sin that killed Jesus. Evangelist Mel Gibson, who produced the film “The Passion of The Christ,” understood this concept. In the film, Gibson’s hand drove the nails into the Savior at the Cross.)
In my vision of the wounded Jesus, He pulled me to Himself with the cords of the whip, and as I embraced Him, His precious blood oozed through my fingers. In the vision, He also placed my hands into His side, pierced by a Roman soldier. He prophesied with great might and urgency into my ear: “Pray for the sick! Pray for the sick!" I have not been disobedient to this heavenly vision and have prayed for the sick in every nation that the Lord has sent me and I have seen Him do the same miracles TODAY!
As the Holy Spirit continues to outpour visions of the Risen Lord, very prominent in these visions are the wounds of His sacrifice on the Cross.
It is notable that “Doubting Thomas” demanded to see the marks of Jesus’ suffering and sacrifice. He might have asked for some other sign or proof of the Resurrection, but for Thomas the “print of the nails” and the wounded side would seal his faith. It is also interesting that even though Jesus’ death was vindicated and He now exists in a glorified body, the wounds of His crucifixion remain in His body for Eternity.
Even today Jesus is revealing His sacred wounds to the people of the Middle East. Having been buried alive, an Egyptian child who was rescued testified that a supernatural Man had sustained him—a Man with bloody holes in his hands. There is only one Person in the world who fits that description—Jesus Christ of Nazareth!

Love from Sharon...
He who has my commmandments and keep them, it is he who loves me, And he who loves me will be loved by my father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him. ( John 14:21)
"If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him, and make Our abode
All the Lord had to do was give him a dream that gave him a desire to hold on tight to avoid the rain. And, in so doing, he held onto the boards of the house and was saved, without a scratch.
While I was unable to find a link on their website, I listened to this story several times on FOX News and took notes. During the 135 mile per hour tornado that swept through Ellenwood, Georgia, last night, the deadly storm tried to claim the life of 9-year-old Andre Jordan. He was sound asleep as his mother rounded the corner to his room. At that moment, the tornado hit the house, with Andre still fast asleep. (Photo: KWTV/CNN)
The outside walls and exterior to his house suddenly blew off and began to suck sleeping Andre Jordan off his bed and out of the house, to a likely death. Still asleep, Andre was instantly given an dream in which he heard his mother tell him to put something in the "trunk." As he obeyed his mother in the dream, he felt rain on himself, so he decided to hold onto the trunk really hard to protect himself from the rain.
Shortly he was awakened, still holding on to the two-by-four wall studs of his house, thinking it was the trunk that was protecting him from rain. His dream created his rescue procedure!
All the Lord had to do was to give him a dream that gave him a desire to hold on tight to avoid the rain. And, in so doing, he held onto the boards of the house and was saved; without a scratch. Now, secular news outlets are not known for giving the glory to God, but here at Breaking Christian News, we will.
