Exodus 15:26 (GW) “He said, ‘If you will listen carefully to what the Lord your God says and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and obey all his laws, I will never make you suffer any of the diseases I made the Egyptians suffer. I am the Lord, who heals you.’” Psalm 103:2–3 (GW) “Praise the Lord, my soul, and never forget all the good he has done: He forgives all my sins. He heals all my diseases.” Psalm 147:3 (GW) “He heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds.” Jeremiah 30:17 (GW) “I will restore your health and heal your wounds,” declares the Lord. Matthew 8:16–17 (GW) “That evening the people brought to him many who were possessed by demons. He forced the demons out with a command and cured all the sick. So what the prophet Isaiah had said came true: ‘He took away our weaknesses and removed our diseases.’” James 5:14–15 (GW) “If you are sick, call for the church leaders. They will pray for you and rub olive oil on you in the name of the Lord. (Prayer offered in faith will save those who are sick, and the Lord will cure them. If you have sinned, you will be forgiven.)” Themes You’ll Notice • God identifies Himself as healer (Exodus 15:26). • Healing is tied to forgiveness and restoration (Psalm 103:3, James 5:15). • Jesus fulfills prophecy by removing sickness (Matthew 8:17). • Healing includes both physical and emotional wounds (Psalm 147:3). These verses show that healing is consistently presented as part of God’s covenant love and authority. It’s not only about physical sickness but also about spiritual and emotional restoration. GOD HEALS AND RESTORES OUR HEALTH. I HOPE THIS QUICK REFRESHER HA “He said, ‘If you will listen carefully to what the Lord your God says and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and obey all his laws, I will never make you suffer any of the diseases I made the Egyptians suffer.

Philippians 2:5 Have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had. 1 Peter 2:23 Christ never verbally abused those who verbally abused him. When he suffered, he didn’t make any threats but left everything to the one who judges fairly. Ephesians 5:1 Imitate God, since you are the children he loves. 1 John 2:6 Those who say that they live in him must live the same way he lived. Colossians 3:12–14 As holy people whom God has chosen and loved, be sympathetic, kind, humble, gentle, and patient. Put up with each other, and forgive each other if anyone has a complaint. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. Above all, be loving. This ties everything together perfectly.
AS WE GO ABOUT OUR DAILY WALK LET US STRIVE TO BE LIKE CHRIST.
Psalm 119:35 Make your face shine on your servant and teach me your decrees. The words “Make your face shine on your servant” echo the blessing found in: Numbers 6:24-26 “ ‘ “The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.” ’ In that passage of scripture God explains how to give his people a blessing, saying: “The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.” Here God conveys to his people that he sees them and promises to love and protect them. Another important thing to note here is that the psalmist calls himself God’s servant. Connecting God’s blessing with service, the psalmist reminds us that blessings don’t stop when they land on our doorstep. God blesses us—his servants—so that we can serve and be a blessing to the people around us. Go ahead and ask God for his blessing, because God wants to bless you. He also wants you to be keenly attentive to his Word and to actively serve in His world. Direct our footsteps, Lord, according to your Word, and let no sin rule over us. Amen.

John 14:6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 3:36 “Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them.” John 3:18 “Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.” GOD DOES NOT WANT ANYONE TO GO TO HELL John 3:17 “For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.” 2 Peter 3:9 “The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.” 1 Timothy 2:3-4 “This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.” John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
WITNESS!!! SPREAD THE WORD. LET THE PEOPLE KNOW. EVANGELIZE!!! HELP SAVE A LIFE, SHARE THE WORD OF GOD WITH SOMEONE EVERYDAY.
Matthew 22:37-39 GW [37] Jesus answered him, “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ [38] This is the greatest and most important commandment. [39] The second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as you love yourself.’
IF WE CAN MASTER THESE TWO GREAT COMMANDS WE ARE ON OUR WAY TO HEAVEN. THINK ABOUT IT.
Psalms 92:1-2, STATES “It is good to give thanks to the LORD, and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High; To declare Your lovingkindness in the morning, and Your faithfulness every night,” THIS VERSE TEACHES US TO Start the day with a thankful attitude, and end the day with A THANKFUL ATTITUDE. Leviticus 22:29, “And when you offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the LORD, offer it of your own free will.” THIS VERSE TEACHES US THAT BEING THANKFUL IS A CHOICE. Romans 1:21, TLB. “Yes, they knew about Him all right, but they wouldn’t admit it or worship Him or even thank Him for all his daily care. And after awhile they began to think up silly ideas of what God was like and what He wanted them to do. The result was that their foolish minds became dark and confused.” THIS VERSE TEACHES US THAT One of the first marks of rejecting God is forgetting to thank him. 1 Thessalonians 1:2, “We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers,” THIS VERSE TEACHES US TO Be grateful for the good people in your life. Psalms 103: 2, “Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits.” THIS VERSE TEACHES US THAT In giving thanks to God; don’t forget from where our blessings come.
LET US NOT FORGET TO THANK GOD, LET US WILLINGLY THANK OUR GOD, OUR GOD IS WORTHY OF THANKS, AND THIS IS THE WORD OF GOD, AMEN AND AMEN
Matthew 6:9-10 9 “This, then, is how you should pray: “‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. When we pray, “Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven,” we are asking God to help us follow the example of the angels and other creatures who serve God faithfully in the heavenly realms (see Revelation 4-5). We are praying that we may have the strength and the guidance to do God’s will as we live here on earth, as citizens of God’s kingdom—here and now. As God’s children, we want to serve him willingly and cheerfully. But as anyone who has been tempted knows, there are also powerful forces, led by Satan, that try to lure God’s people away to join them in rebellion. Paul writes in Ephesians 6:12, “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” All who have been redeemed through Christ are given new, eternal life. Yet we continue to rely on the power of the Holy Spirit of Christ living in us to live faithfully each day for the glory of God and his kingdom. That is why we pray, “Your will be done. . . .” In what ways are you doing God’s will today?
Psalm 18:30, “As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the LORD is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him.” THIS VERSE TEACHES US We can trust God and His word. Put your trust in God, not human beings. Jeremiah 17:5-7 “Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, whose heart departs from the LORD. For he shall be like a shrub in the desert, and shall not see when good comes, but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land which is not inhabited. Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, and whose hope is the LORD.” Psalm 37:3-5, “Trust in the LORD, and do good; dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. Delight yourself also in the LORD, and He shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the LORD, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass.” THIS VERSE TEACHES US TO First trust God and do what He calls you to do, then He will give you the desires of your heart. Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart,and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.” THIS VERSE TEACHES US TO Trust God, even when we don’t understand it all.

Zeal is passionate devotion, often expressed as fervent enthusiasm for God, righteousness, or a cause. In Scripture, it can be righteous (aligned with God’s will) or misguided (driven by ignorance or pride). Christian zeal is not loud and noisy, but humbly grows in faithfulness. It’s in the Bible, 2 Peter 1:5-8, NKJV. “But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love” Jesus cannot use us if we are complacent. It’ s in the Bible, Revelation 3:15-16, 19, NKJV. “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth….As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent” Zeal for God is being single-minded. It’s in the Bible, James 4:8, NKJV. “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.” → Zeal without knowledge can be misdirected, as Paul says of Israel. Romans 10:2 “I can assure you that they are deeply devoted to God, but they are misguided.”
