36 Verses to Healing #4: Romans 10:17
17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Sometimes the best thing we can do is just sit back and take it all in.....going to church can provide that perfect setting where its ok to absorb what you hear and its acceptable to not discuss it with anyone! In order to have faith we must first know Christ and knowing Christ comes from hearing His words. Learning these 36 verses certainly is a step in the right direction to learning about God, and taking it one step further by putting them on index cards to read anytime will help you apply them in your daily life more abundantly but it cant stop there! He wants you to have faith in Him by hearing the words about Him, there is no ending implied, which says to me we can never hear or learn too much about our God.
Since I am trying hard to share what I think and feel about these 36 verses, I would like to take this opportunity to ask all of you, my readers, to share your thoughts and feelings or ways of incorporating His words into your life. Faith can not be something we hold to ourselves, He wants us always to share the words we have learned from and about Him so lets do it!! We can show Him that although we hurt and face many challenges each day we still find the time to learn more about Him, increasing our faith and sharing this knowledge so others can enjoy hearing about Him.........a never ending cycle of faith and of healing!

This blog will be about my new journey to rediscovering "me"! I am writing to understand my feelings during life experiences and answer questions I ponder daily with the situations I am confronted with as a chronic pain sufferer. I hope this will not only enlighten me but you as the reader....to truly be part of this awakening to living with pain.

I think the way I incorporate God in my life is just trying to live to make him proud. I help others when I can, I donate time and money to charities.
ReplyDeleteI take time each day to pray. I have bible verses sent to my kindle each day that I read.
God has helped me to realize that not everyone is meant to be apart of your life for a long time. I think each person is placed in our lives for however long God needs them to be. Some people teach you the good while others teach you the bad. I suppose now I'm just going on..
So really I suppose my actions are a way of how his words work through me.
Thanks Jessica for sharing this, I do believe our actions in every day life represent the kind of person we are and God knows and sees it all.....His words can be so powerful at times and others I am lost and need help, that's when I truly learn about Him and myself by asking others I grow in my faith! I appreciate your words and encourage you to post here anytime, I value all input positive or not it all assists us in moving forward and growing strong in our faith and within Christ! God Bless, praying for you Jessica that all your hopes come true, even if its in His time I know you would welcome whatever He has planned! Xxxx
ReplyDeleteI try to plant seeds of Gods mercy saveing love each day I read quotes &I pray everyday knowing Gods here with me&guiding me where I need to be.
DeleteMildred, Planting seeds in those lives that need The Lord and don't know Him is the best gift anyone could give and the most eternal! God wants us gathering sheep and bringing them to Him, there is no better satisfaction when a friend thanks you later on for giving them a doorway when all were locked before and for reminding them that Jesus can handle it all if you just ask! :-) Feeling Him beside you is the most peaceful feeling you will ever have and brings peace and relaxation with it! So glad you have joined us and have missed "us" in this journey! Love ya xxxxxxxx
DeleteI know what you mean it seems when you need God the most he appears. Sometimes I wonder why we all must suffer so much but I realize thanks to RSD I have made so many friends. So I guess there is good in every day. Though I'm not seeing the good with infertility but hey there must be good somewhere. Thank you I look forward to see what he has planned for me.
ReplyDeleteJessica I was so angry over my infertility and could not understand why God would take away the one thing I always wanted in life, and when I started allowing Him in and openly seeking Him I realized that it could be He saved my life, maybe I would die in childbirth or end up even more disabled then I am now or Bill may not survive.....so a blessing in disguise comes in many forms and maybe just maybe infertility was a blessing! It is so difficult to see though when emotionally involved, we need to take breathers and allow time to see the real picture. He doesn't always give us answers but we can sometimes see a better way just by waiting. I do think He has plans that will amaze you! God Bless xxxx
DeleteFor a long time I only looked to God when I needed help. and each time I was faced with a challenge.
ReplyDeletelittle did I know it was only to make me stronger as a Christian. one day a few months back I was at
Church praying. rather than my usual request for help I asked for 2 things, I asked God to take care of my close friends because each one of them had a special need , and the second was asking Jesus if there was anything I could do for him. At that moment I knew I was walking BESIDE him. like the poem "Footprints
in the Sand" there where 2 sets of footprints that day.
Every Morning I spend an hour reading the Bible,I often find myself thinking about the people I read about.
and I can only imagine how much faith these people had.
Ben so happy you are taking this journey too, feel so blessed to have friends that share a love of Christ openly with each other! Funny that Bill just brought a song to my attention and its amazing Ben, it talks about what I think you are feeling now "I am not the Same" by Seventh Day Slumber and in it he shares that he is no longer ashamed, that He adopted him and changed his life forever......those ppl of the Bible are no different then you and I if we follow Christ's path and share what we learn. He still uses us as vessels for His work but we don't talk and write about it like they did back then! Keep reading your journey will continue Ben......xxxx
DeleteWhen I first really started studying God's word going to church and learning I began to incorporate it into my daily living at work by trying to help others and readily praying for them when they would come and ask. Then I started to teach children's church and wow actually it taught me. What a blessing it was learning with those little ones so pure and innocent. Then I became disabled and couldn't make it to church most of the time and could not seem to find what my purpose was. I prayed hard each day God show me my purpose. Give me someway to meet others and be apart of life again. That was in Nov. of 08 I found MDJunction that night by what seemed like accident but now I know it was God. And that is where I was so blessed with meeting you and you being in my life. To this day I of course still do the boards there help where I can and let the rest go. I feel I am there to help spread God's word and give others hope. Because even though there has been many trials, tears, suffering and all I am Blessed. Each day I start off reading God's word and this year I am ending each day reading and studying God's word. Thankfully now I am back in church and participate in bible study which helps teach me. And now with your blog I am writing down each verse on the index card reading them several times a day so this is incorporated into my journey I am on. I try to help others by giving when I can even if it is just donated clothes or whatever I do think it all counts. I love your blog little sister and I love you. And it is obvious we all love God as he loves us!
ReplyDeleteI agree Viv children teach s more about faith and God then anything or anyone else......so innocent and truthful they say it like it is and then we go and screw them up with our stress and our faults which they see and absorb and start to question......I wish we all could remain with that child like mentality then maybe we could love easier, trust easier and live happier fuller lives. I am just overwhelmed that so many have been reading and following the blog but it proves that those who want God, seek Him, and are faithful wherever they may be in life and that is hope! Love you too xxxxxx
ReplyDelete'...faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God.' When I ponder that phrase I have two questions:
ReplyDeletea) Is there something in the translation from ancient Arabic (I believe) to English, that we missed?
b) Is there some spiritual principal that is being imparted that needs to be pondered in silence?
Perhaps it means the two things are one, the faith and the Word of God. I'm not sure.
I don't think of myself as an amazing Christian. However, I do believe and know that Jesus died for me. Therefore, through his sacrifice, I am saved by grace.
When I see that others are being touched by that simple story about healing Scriptures, in Guideposts, it makes it even clearer that these things are a blessing to God's people. If others choose not to believe, we can still pray.
If we are lifted up on 'wings of eagles' because of God's ability to reach down to us through the Holy Spirit, then nothing in life could be much better than that.
