11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end,
12 And ye shall call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.
This is one of my favorite passages in the Bible. He tells us directly what He can do for us and reminds us that we as well have a part in this. PRAY, PRAY, PRAY. He is always available no matter the circumstances. And its comforting to know that despite what we go through, what the Devil subjects us to, we know beyond a shadow of a doubt that the Lord is for us and has promised us a future and hope in it.
Todays Message via Gloria Copeland...
Is there actually a divine purpose behind the bad things that happen in your life? Could it be that the sicknesses and calamities you experience are somehow a part of God's plan for you?
Before you can ever begin to experience the healing, delivering power of God, you've got to know the answer to those questions. You have to settle them once and for all. If you even suspect that God is the source of your misfortunes, you won't be able to believe Him for deliverance from them.
If religious traditions have robbed you of the goodness of God, if it's taught you He brings trouble into your life so He can teach you something, start today washing those traditions away with the truth. Get out your Bible and let God Himself tell you through His own Word that He is the God that heals you (Exod. 15:26). Dig into the Scriptures and discover for yourself that He is a God of mercy (Ps. 86:5), loving-kindness (Jer. 9:24), and compassion (Ps. 145:8).
Put your doubts to rest and open your heart to receive the truth about your heavenly Father. It's the only thing that can truly set you free.
