WORD CONNECTION

Can we connect with the promises in God’s Word?

Psalm 103:1-8 (KJV)
Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's. The Lord executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed. He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel. The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.

CONNECTIONS

Have you got the connection?

James 5:13-20 (Message)
Are you hurting? Pray. Do you feel great? Sing. Are you sick? Call the church leaders together to pray and anoint you with oil in the name of the Master. Believing-prayer will heal you, and Jesus will put you on your feet. And if you've sinned, you'll be forgiven—healed inside and out.
Make this your common practice: Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you can live together whole and healed. The prayer of a person living right with God is something powerful to be reckoned with. Elijah, for instance, human just like us, prayed hard that it wouldn't rain, and it didn't—not a drop for three and a half years. Then he prayed that it would rain, and it did. The showers came and everything started growing again.
My dear friends, if you know people who have wandered off from God's truth, don't write them off. Go after them. Get them back and you will have rescued precious lives from destruction and prevented an epidemic of wandering away from God.

POSSIBILITIES

Just think of the possibilities for our respective communities, if each Corps and Social Centre were healing centres. A place where the ministry of God the Holy Spirit has free reign to bring healing to burdened lives. Where the lives weighed down by the cares of the world can be unloaded. Where people receive emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual healing. The Apostle Peter calls for people to leave their burdens and cares with Jesus, who can meet their needs.
1 Peter 5:7 (KJV)
Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.


Some may question whether this is a possibility in this day, and age. Peter was following in the footsteps of Jesus, driven by the ministry of God the Holy Spirit in his life. He was also reflecting the promises within God’s Holy Word revealed in the second book of the Bible. Here God’s reflects who he is, and his ministry to the people.
Exodus 15:26 (KJV)
And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the Lord that healeth thee.


Can we be bold enough, to have healing connections available for the burdened in our communities?

1 PC

The Salvation Army Australian Southern Territory is now in the era of PC, and we need to measure our growth and responses in the PC mode. No, I’m not talking about computers. This is the era of mission as it relates to “Post Connections 07” we go forward with new vision and strategies to aggressively make meaningful connections in our communities in the name of JESUS.

John 15:4 (KJV)
Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
