Word of the Day
Thank you Jesus for all your blessings! Praise the Lord!
We give you all the glory! You are worthy to be praised!
Thank you for joining us today! If you are new to this blog, please take the time to post a comment on what you have read today and let us know what you think. We value your opinion. For those joining us who have followed us since the beginning, this blog is designed for Heavenly Healing Ministries to share the Word of the Day and teach on the Word of God.
"If the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed" (John 8:36).
IF THERE is even a trace of individual satisfaction left in us, it always says, "I can't surrender, or, "I can't be free." But the spiritual part of our being never says, "I can't; it simply soaks up everything around it. Our spirit hungers for more and more. It is the way we are built. We are designed with a great capacity for God, but sin, our own individuality, and wrong thinking keep us from getting to Him. God delivers us from sin- we have to deliver ourselves from our individuality. This means offering our natural life to God and sacrificing it to Him, so He may transform it into spiritual life through our obedience.
God pays no attention to our natural individuality in the development of our spiritual life. His plan runs right through our natural life. We must see to it that we aid and assist God, and not stand against Him by saying, "I can't do that." God will not discipline us; we must discipline ourselves. God will not bring our "arguments...and every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ" (II Corinthians 10:5)- we have to do it. Don't say, "Oh, Lord, I suffer from wandering thoughts." Don't suffer from wandering thoughts. Stop listening to the tyranny of your individual natural life and win freedom into the spiritual life.
"If the Son makes you free..." Do not substitute Savior for Son in this passage. The Savior has set us free from sin, but this is the freedom that comes from being set free myself by the Son. It is what Paul meant in Galatians 2:20 when he said, "I have been crucified with Christ..." His individuality had been broken and his spirit had been united with his Lord; not just merged into Him, but made one with Him. "...you shall be free indeed"-free to the very core of your being; free from the inside to the outside. We tend to rely on our own energy, instead of being energized by the power that comes from identification with Jesus.

We like to close every Word of the Day by making sure you have the opportunity to ask Jesus in your heart.
So please pray, Lord Jesus, I accept that you were born of a virgin, died on the cross and shed your blood for my sins to be forgiven and rose again to be Lord and King. I repent of my sins and ask that you come into my life and be Lord and Savior and live in my heart.
Amen
Friends, if you just prayed this prayer, you are born again, and I pray that you grow in your walk with Jesus and develop an intimate relationship with Him. Get in a good Holy Spirit filled church and come to a place of worship with Him. If you just said this prayer, please send us an email, we would love to know.
