Ana Nunez, the director of “Selah Ministires” which is associated with “Table of Shewbread Ministires” which together minister along side us hear at Cornerstone, shared the following on one of our leadership texts threads this past week. It was not written by Ana but was in a daily devotional that she receives from a group in the UK. If you’re interested in receiving these too, I will ask Ana to share the link next week. When I read it I couldn’t help but think of 1 Thess 5:23 especially as we press for the mark of becoming like Jesus.
Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
"It is a season of healing for many of my remnant. Come to me and be healed from the inside out," says Jehovah-Rapha. "For this is the time where much warfare will happen to, and in, my children."
Child of God, receive your healing from Jesus Christ for the trauma suffered on the frontlines of your battles. Well done! You have survived the struggles of the past season. Pause and celebrate your victories. Embrace the breakthrough being released from the throne room of God, that will shift you into a place of healing and wholeness.
The enemy tried but he could not take you out. Set your mind upon God your Healer once again. Fix your eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith. Look in the spirit and see how He has equipped you with what you need to fight the authorities, rulers and spiritual forces of evil. Take stock of the armour that He has clothed you in, and know that He is with you.
Hear His call: "Awaken and arise. I have been ordering your steps in the uncharted paths you walk. Now it is the moment to step into the relief and restoration I have for you, as you heal from seasons past."
"No weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and this is their vindication from me," declares the LORD.
Isaiah 54:17 (NIV)
