Trusting God through a health crisis

Image
It's been a year since I broke my ankle .    I've  been thinking about how God saw me through. I gained spiritual maturity and closeness to God.  If you fear for your health, trust God.  The Bible gives examples of God giving "prescription" for healing.  He uses doctors and others in miraculous ways.  Be encouraged. I share my notes based on Dr. David Jeremiah's sermon, “ Fearing for your health .” Isaiah 38:21 For Isaiah had told Hezekiah’s servants, “Make an ointment of figs and spread it over the boil, and he will get well again.” God gave a prescription for Hezekiah's illness. God uses medications / people to help us. 1.    Control  your mind – 2 Timothy 1:7 The Voice You see, God did not give us a cowardly spirit but a powerful, loving, and disciplined spirit. Proverbs 18:14   The human spirit   can endure a long illness, but who can survive a crushe...

The strong life: My notes from a sermon by Dr. Charles Stanley -Matthew 7:24-29

You can find Dr. Stanley's message here - it's called A Strong Life dated 9-13-2013:   http://www.intouch.org/broadcast/today-on-radio Matthew 7:24-29 “All who listen to my instructions and follow them are wise, like a man who builds his house on solid rock. Though the rain comes in torrents, and the floods rise and the storm winds beat against his house, it won’t collapse, for it is built on rock.  “But those who hear my instructions and ignore them are foolish, like a man who builds his house on sand.   For when the rains and floods come, and storm winds beat against his house, it will fall with a mighty crash.”  The crowds were amazed at Jesus’ sermons, for he taught as one who had great authority, and not as their Jewish leaders. 1.   Place trust in Jesus.  2.   Guided by the Holy Spirit. Indwelled. For God's purpose. 3.   Priority: spend time with God in prayer. He is first. 4.   Teaching and application of ...
