“Healing and Medicine”

The book I am reading at the present time is called “HEALING AND MEDICINE.” It is written by D. Martyn Lloyd – Jones.

I really did not know that I had valuable books like that in my small library.

“Far North Community Hospice”

Hospice Awareness Week May 11-18 2014

“Finding the words to talk about dying,” is the article in the paper called and I am reading it with great interest. (The Northland Age, Tuesday, May 13, 2014)

One paragraph in the article points to the relationship between the dying person and the relatives. Does the relationship need to be addressed?

What we really need to do is point to the relationship between the dying person and God. It surely needs to be addressed, if it has not been addressed long ago.

It is surely easy to find “words to talk about dying,” when all the participants have a living relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.

About a burglary we are reading in our local paper today on the front page (The Northland Age, Tuesday, May 13, 2014).

The man whose house was burgled lost almost $28 000.

He said, “that his faith in the police had fallen to below zero since his home was burgled”.

He said also, that “he had spoken to at least 40 people since he was burgled and not one of them had expressed any faith in the police”.

“HAVE FAITH IN GOD,” says the Lord Jesus Christ in Mark 11:22.

THE PRINCIPAL OF FAITH

How is business carried on? Business is carried on by the principal of faith in others. We are relying on what other people are saying.

Today at SUBWAY:

The old SUBWAY in Kaitaia

I ordered a sandwich and the sandwich artist did not ask to see the money first; by faith he believed that I had the $5.00 to pay for the sandwich and the coffee.

FAITH in the Lord Jesus Christ is resting on his testimony. We have the Old Testament and we have the New Testament.

AND HERE ARE SOME RESULTS OF FAITH

1. Genesis 15:6: By FAITH we are saved.

2. John 1:12: By FAITH we receive the Lord Jesus Christ,

3. Romans 5:1: By FAITH we are justified.

4. Galatians 3:26: By FAITH we become the children of God.

5. Acts 26:18: By FAITH we are sanctified.

6. First Peter 1:5: By FAITH we are kept.

And what do we read in Psalm 127:1?

There it says: “Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchmen stand guard in vain.”

Things I remember and how I remember them:

Surprisingly,  we were allowed to eat soup for lunch in spite of it being a so called Day of Prayer and Fasting.

It was during my candidates course at the mission HQ in Eppstein near Frankfurt.

If I am not mistaken, those Days of Prayer and Fasting were also advertised in the magazine of the mission.

And you never know what happens at a mission HQ.

I think we were just about to have our plate of soup, when someone cried, “Put more water into the soup, there are more visitors arriving.”
