The Healing Place

Welcome to my on-line journal.. I am a 38 year old married mother of 5 children on earth (1 in heaven) and our family lives in Victoria Australia. I am a believer in the Almighty God and live my life to further His Kingdom on earth!

This journal was formerly called Gods Child.. but now is being called The Healing Place.. I have been thinking about this change for awhile.. God has been leading me to pursue his healing presence and I cannot but share what I am finding out!!

I pray that Gods healing presence becomes real to you too.. and that through a greater knowledge of who God is and what He has said and the testimonies shared that you too can find spiritual and bodily healing, blessings and encouragement..

Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. 3 John 1:2

Thanks for visiting my journal.. God bless you..

Healing Waters

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
