WE HAVE TO GET READY TO RUN LIKE NEVER BEFORE! NOW IS THE SEASON OF PREPARATION!
Running requires wholeness… hurts, disappointments, offences, faith-failures, abuse, spiritual abuse and unforgiveness towards yourself… these all have to be dealt with before you can run like God wants you to run!
Many believers are scarred and are not whole. Set time aside for the Lord to pour in the oil and the wine… the kind that restores your soul! Set time aside to receive the Word that Jesus is sending to you – He is sending His Word to you to heal you and to make you whole because He loves you and does not want you hurting anymore.
Today’s New Covenant nugget is from Psalm 107:20
He sent His Word and healed them, (made them whole) and delivered them from their destructions.
THE WORD OF GOD NOT ONLY HEALS US PHYSICALLY, IT MAKES US WHOLE!
IT MAKES US WHOLE ON THE INSIDE.
THE WORD ‘DELIVERED’ IS THE HEBREW WORD ‘MALAT’, MEANING, ‘TO RESCUE, OR TO TAKE OUT OF.’
THE WORD TAKES US OUT OF THE PIT OF DESTRUCTION CAUSED BY THE EFFECTS OF BROKENNESS.
Psalm 107:20 (NLT)
He sent out His Word and healed them, snatching them from the door of death.’
Hebrews 4:12
The Word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Hebrews 4:12 (AMP)
The Word of God is living and active and full of power [making it operative, energizing, and effective]. It is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating as far as the division of the soul and spirit [the completeness of a person], and of both joints and marrow [the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and judging the very thoughts and intentions of the heart.
HEBREWS 4:12 (PARAPHRASE)
THE LIVING WORD GOES DOWN TO THE CORE OF YOUR BEING AND OPERATES. IT REMOVES ALL DAMAGE, FIXES ALL AND RENDERS YOU COMPLETE AND WHOLE!
Ephesians 5:25-26
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, that He might sanctify (make whole) and cleanse her (internally) with the washing of water by the Word.
JESUS CLEANSES YOU INTERNALLY AND MAKES YOU WHOLE BY WASHING YOU AND HEALING YOU WITH HIS WORD! RECEIVE HIS LIVING WORD TODAY AND BE MADE WHOLE!
John 7:37-38 (TPT)
Jesus stood and shouted out to the crowds—“All you thirsty ones, come to me! Come to me and drink! Believe in me so that rivers of living water will burst out from within you, flowing from your innermost being, just like the Scripture says!”
WHEN WE DRINK THE WORD, IT CLEANSES US AND MAKES US WHOLE ON THE INSIDE!
Drinking the Word is receiving it and letting it penetrate and go down deep on the inside. Drink the word as you meditate upon it, confess it and sit under it as it is preached.
BEING IN WATER DOES NOT QUENCH YOUR THIRST, YOU HAVE TO DRINK IT FOR IT TO QUENCH YOUR THIRST.
Many read the Word, listen to the Word, memorize the Word and even confess the Word without drinking it in – drinking the Word has to be done on purpose and with focus to receive. It is good to be in the Word, but it is even better to get the Word in you!
WE DRINK THE WORD BY FAITH, RECEIVING IT INTO OUR INNER MAN.
“JESUS, I DRINK YOUR WORD NOW, WASH ME CLEAN AND MAKE ME WHOLE ON THE INSIDE! MAY THE SAME WORD THAT MAKES ME WHOLE, BURST FORTH FROM MY INNER BEING AND BRING WHOLENESS AND HEALING TO OTHERS.
MAKE ME READY TO RUN WITH YOUR FIRE! FILL ME WITH SUPERNATURAL POWER FOR SUCH A TIME IS THIS, AMEN!”
Blessings on you, Nick
