IN NEED OF HOPE AND HEALING

IN NEED OF HOPE AND HEALING


Lord KNOWS-God knows-our world=
Is in NEED of HOPE & HEALING


BOTH on a collective and
On an individual basis=from
Case to case


The WORLD IS=and we are individually
ALL HURTING in some way


So much so that POPE FRANCIS-
Has called the CHURCH-a-
“FIELD HOSPITAL after battle”


“........
The LIGHT came into the world-
But people PREFERRED darkness
To LIGHT........” John 3:19


WE are all FIGHTING our
Own individual BATTLES and
MOST of us are losing


This world is=INDIVIDUALLY=
We are=
In need of HOPE & HEALING


Yet this world-for some reason
Doesn't want to TURN
TO GOD


But wants to TURN to darkness
Instead of light
NO WONDER-so many of us
Are LOSING our battles


“ALL those gathered here
Will know
That it is NOT by sword
Or spear
The LORD SAVES;


For the BATTLE
Is the Lord's
And he will GIVE all of you
Into his hands” 1 Samuel 17:47


“Who is
The KING of glory?


The Lord strong and mighty
The Lord mighty in BATTLE” Psalm 24:8


“THEY are demonic spirits
That perform signs


And they go out to the kings
Of the whole world


To gather them for the BATTLE
On the great day
Of GOD ALMIGHTY” Revelation 16:14


TURN to God-if
You are in NEED of HOPE
And of HEALING


And who isn't?-in this world
That LIVES upside down


POPE FRANCIS got it right
WHEN he called the Church
“A FIELD HOSPITAL after battle”


We need to get out
Of the bars and the strip clubs
And get BACK INTO CHURCH


MAYBE then-we will FIND
The hope and the HEALING
That we are LOOKING FOR


“WHY my soul
Are you downcast?
Why so disturbed
WITHIN me?


Put your HOPE in God
For I will yet PRAISE him-
My SAVIOR-And my God” Psalm 42:5


“For the people's HEART-
Has become CALLOUSED-
They hardly hear with their ears
And they have CLOSED
Their eyes


Otherwise they might
SEE with their eyes
HEAR with their ears
Understand with their HEARTS-
And TURN-and I would HEAL THEM” Acts 28:27
(the HOLY SPIRIT through the prophet Isaiah)


MY dear friends=IF=
You are in NEED of hope
And of healing


TURN BACK to the Lord
Get back into church
And you will FIND IT in God


Dear LORD-FILL UP our hearts
With the HOPE and the HEALING-
Of the WORD OF GOD


We RENEW our PROMISE to TRY
As we CONTINUE to SEARCH for the LIGHT


In Jesus' name
