Healing of our Spirit, Advent Week 2


“Jesus came, and stood in the plain, and the company of His disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, came to hear Him, and be Healed of their diseases;  And they that were vexed with Unclean Spirits: and they were Healed. The whole multitude sought to touch Him: for there went virtue out of Him,
O how precious the Advent season is as we celebrate the Birth of our Saviour. His Birth has changed our lives and brought Healing to us. The Healing of our soul with Salvation, how awesome!  Today’s Message is somewhat different from any Advent Message that I have ministered in the past. Our theme is “The Healer Has Come!” Not only is He the Healer of our Soul, but He is also the Healer of our Spirit. We explore this in two ways: One, He heals us from infirmities, and part of the explanation of infirmity is impure morality. The Secord way He Heals or Spirit concerns the wounds that have taken place in our Spirit. O what a Saviour!  There are so many areas to be studied and explored as we speak of a Healing Saviour. The Spirit of humanity has been wounded when things were spoken in anger – when our childhood was off center – when we felt less than others, perhaps when others were chosen on our job over us, or when we feel someone we loved failed us, when something in our life as hurt us, and there are times when the devil messes with our Spirit and harasses us with his evil ways. O thank you Jesus, there is Healing for our Spirit. Jesus Promised He would send the Comforter and we have experienced Him. The Holy Ghost has come and if we let Him, He will saturate our life with His Power to overcome and walk in His Peace.  Matthew 8:16 speaking of Jesus; tells us that “He cast out spirits by His Word and Healed all that were sick.” We have His Word and as we apply it to our personal difficulty, He will heal our Spirit, Soul, and Body.  A favorite Psalm of mine that I have stood on many times is:  Ps. 107:20  “He sent His Word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.”  Often wounded spirits bring destruct-tion to our life C but God’s Word encourages & heals our Spirit! 
Loving you, Pastor
