Healing Journey Chikamu

GOD WANTS YOU WHOLE

Welcome to Day 13

Welcome to day 13 of our 21-day Healing Journey. Today, we’re going to take a moment to put our eyes, our faith, and our focus on the love, grace, and goodness of our God. So be still, try to switch off from the busyness around you. Take a moment to shift the focus from whatever’s going on in your room, in your mind, in your body, and place your focus in the healing power of Jesus.

SCRIPTURE MEDITATION

Today, we're reading Jeremiah 30:17. It says, 

"I will give you back your health and heal your wounds, says the Lord." 

What's interesting about this is God is not only interested in your physical health, but He's interested in healing your wounds. Your wounds may even be emotional. Your wounds may even be psychological. Today, you might feel trapped by a negative experience or tormenting situation.

Even if you're sick today, or even if you're experiencing brokenness or an inner wound, God wants you to know that He wants to restore you back to health and wholeness right now, on the Earth (not just spiritually but also physically). So many people are functioning from dysfunction, brokenness, a deep hurting pain, helplessness, or hopelessness. Still, God wants us to know it is not only His desire to keep us alive but that we would function in perfect Shalom (peace). The word, 'Shalom' in the Bible, is 'nothing missing and nothing broken.'

PRAYER

Father, we thank You that we receive Your healing. We receive Your love today. Work in us, work in our bodies, work in our hearts, work in our minds, our healing, and our wholeness because You love us and desire to do so. Father, we receive that we can function from physical strength in Jesus' Name. Nothing missing, nothing broken. Amen.

COMMUNION 

Receiving communion is a powerful moment, and we encourage you to take bread or a cracker, water, or juice around you. Even in a hospital room, you can use some of the food and water set aside as a powerful moment to receive communion. Communion is about placing your faith for your healing in the broken body of Jesus and for your forgiveness in the blood of Jesus by placing your focus on what Jesus has done for you. As you receive communion, reflect powerfully that no matter what you face, Jesus is greater, His love for you is greater, and He so desires to see you healthy and whole.

PRAYER OF BLESSING

Now I'd like to pray a blessing over you. May the Lord bless you and keep you. May His face shine upon you and show you His grace and give you peace.

-Numbers 6:24-26
