Jesus took my rebellion and independence and restored to me daily fellowship with God.
All of us like sheep have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; but the Lord has caused the iniquity of us all to fall on Him (Isaiah 53:6).
The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one (John 17:22).
- My lack and need: rebellion, independence
- Jesus’ gift: restored fellowship
- Kingdom reality established: I have fellowship with God, Eden restored, walks in the garden in the cool of the day.
- Kingdom emotions experienced: I feel loved, accepted, warmed, and inspired.
God’s Love and Grace Are Eternal
Furthermore, God’s love and grace toward us are not conditional or temporary. It was not love from our side that saved us, but love from His (1 John 4:10). He loved us with an eternal love (Jer. 31:3). His grace was toward us in eternity past, before the world began (2 Tim. 1:9). When Christ loves us, He loves us to the uttermost (John 13:1). No sin, failure, or weakness on our part can separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus (Rom. 8:35-39).
Healing
- Joy reigns where this Word is proclaimed (Acts 8:4-8)
- But if we cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the Kingdom of God is come unto you, (Mt. 12:28, and 11:20)
- I tell you the truth, anyone who believes in me will do the miraculous works that I am doing (John 14:12-13)
The connection between healing and salvation is a characteristic feature of the Gospel tradition. Miracles of healing are, as it were, symbolic demonstrations of God’s forgiveness in action.
CAN WE LOVE ENOUGH?
We don’t muster it up. We can’t! I mean, we’d never try to work really hard and muster up enough power in our hands to go heal blind eyes. We know that’s outside of what we can do in and of ourselves. However, I feel like quite often we are tempted to try and “muster up” love for people, to try in our own selves to love enough to release a blessing to them. But we can’t muster up compassion any more than we can strive to work a power miracle of healing.
It’s outside of us. It’s done to us. It comes upon and moves up through us. Only after we’ve been moved upon, are we then moved to action and the miracle is released. So to live like Jesus means we are moved by compassion, and everything we do for ministry is out of that God Emotion.

The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe (Proverbs 29:25)
Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: (1 Peter 3:8)
Four Keys to Hear God’s Voice!
I will stand on my guard post and station myself on the rampart; and I will keep watch to see what He will speak to me, and how I may reply when I am reproved. Then the LORD answered me and said, “Record the vision and inscribe it on tablets…. (Hab. 2:1, 2)
Summarized:
[1] Stillness – I still my own thoughts
[2] Vision – I look to Jesus
[3] Spontaneity – Spontaneous thoughts
[4] Journaling – I write down these thoughts
11 Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day:
12 Lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein;
13 And when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied;
14 Then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the LORD thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage;
15 Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness, wherein were fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there was no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint;
16 Who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end;
17 And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth.
18 But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.
19 And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the LORD thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish.
20 As the nations which the LORD destroyeth before your face, so shall ye perish; because ye would not be obedient unto the voice of the LORD your God.
"I have heard of Thee by the hearing of the ear; but now my eye sees Thee." - Job 42:5
