CREATOR AND CONTROLLERSpeaker: Dr. Paul Dhinakaran Gist: The Creator and Controller of the entire cosmos says, "I myself will carry you through. I am the Lord who heals you. I will not forsake you but I will prosper you and lead you. Do not be worried." The Almighty God says, "I am the Lord who heals you." (Exodus 15:26).
Dearly beloved, perhaps are you lamenting, "In my life, I find no light at the end of the tunnel, it is filled with darkness because of many curses, I still lack in many things, or I have this particular weakness and this disease is tormenting me" and have come seeking a way out of all these struggles. Kindly do not be worried for the Lord says, "I am the Lord who heals you."
Who is this Lord uttering these words so authoritatively? It is the Lord who says, "I am He that I am. I live forever more and I am unchanging." It is the one who during the Biblical times brought healing to His people and filled their lives with blessings. This Almighty God says, "I am the Lord who heals you."
Jesus said, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth" Matthew 28:18. The Lord says, "I will heal and shower you with perfect blessings." He is the Lord who makes all crooked paths straight, prospers you with all goodness and fills your mouth with happiness. Surely our glorious Lord will manifest His healing power on you. Be of good cheer.
A very long time ago, my father went to spend the summer vacation in a hilly place. After relaxing for sometime, the time came for him to return. He had to reach an airport, which was under the military control. On the way to this particular airport there were numerous check posts and the military personnel kept checking the vehicles as well as threw a cautious look upon the people who used them. Often they posed many questions to the commuters. My father was quite perturbed thinking, "Oh! When would I reach this airport? I do not know what are all the formalities to be adhered to while undertaking this journey to the airport. What would happen on the way?" His mind was pre-occupied with thoughts such as these.
An army official of high ranking called 'General' came to visit my father that day. He said, "Brother, I will take you in my car, I myself will drive it and drop you in the airport today." Many stars were studded to his car symbolizing his position in the army. Accordingly he took my father in his car and drove it all by himself. Whenever they approached any check post, instead of being stopped they immediately opened the gates to let them pass by and saluted to those who were inside. My father who sat inside was greatly honoured and he also saluted those guards in return with great joy. At last the car halted very close to the aircraft. My father thanked the army General, boarded the plane and flew back safely to his destination.
In the same manner, not an army personnel of high ranking, but the Creator and Controller of the entire cosmos says, "I myself will carry you through. I am the Lord who heals you. I will not forsake you but I will prosper and lead you. Do not be worried." When He is with you what have you to fear? Today He will surely manifest His power and glory in your life and make you happy. Be of good cheer.
Prayer
Loving Lord,
I praise and thank You for You are the Lord who heals me. Please remove all hurt and bitterness hiding in my heart by the blood of Your only begotten Son Jesus Christ our Lord. I request You to take away all the unwanted fear that keeps tormenting me and fill me with Your peace which passes all understanding.
In Jesus' name I pray.
Amen |
