In this message, John and I share our testimony of God’s healing and redemption. Redemption is not about just getting what we want, but allowing God to heal us and then refusing to limit God’s plan for our life by anything in our past. The redemptive work that God can do in the life of a believer is a powerful display of his glory.
God Is Faithful
The Lord wants to remind us that He is faithful. Psalm 37 has been a very powerful word for me in this season, as it speaks to the faithfulness of God. It says, “Do not worry about the wicked or envy those who do wrong. For like grass, they soon fade away. Like spring flowers, they soon wither. Trust in the Lord and do good. Then you will live safely in the land and prosper…”
Personal Revival
We are all experiencing a season of simplification, where our normal is stripped away. I realize this looks different for all of us, and the amount of change and pressure on our families looks different too. While I like to live a simple life, the current season is a bit too cut back for me. In the past, I have run from these seasons, and I imagine that many of you have too. The rush hides the pain we’ve avoided, the broken places we’ve failed to repair, and the faults we’d rather forget. We can even be so busy for God that we have no personal relationship with him anymore – only a heavenly to-do list that we think is satisfying our spiritual need. This season has been a time of personal revival for me, and I am praying that it has been for you too, and if it hasn’t, that it will be!
