Water on Thirsty Ground

Posted in Holiday, My thoughts, Nations, Nature, Travel by

Today a friend took us for a drive to the mountains on the island of Zaykynthos. As we drove out we noticed heavy smoke billowing from a hill near the town of Keri. Forest fires broke out. The wildfire in progress on the island of Zakynthos has led authorities to evacuate some exposed houses on the village of Keri, in the southern part of the island, as well as 120 tourists staying at a hotel there.

The tourists were taken by bus to another hotel, in the nearby resort of Kalamaki.

The fire service said 10 of the 12 fires burning on Zakynthos are still unchecked, with high winds making it difficult to control the flames. A fire brigade commander says they have consumed mostly forests and olive groves so far.

Later we were having lunch in a small village on the coast. We watched as two aeroplanes dipped down to the sea and picked up water. Then they circled around to take the water and dump it on the fire fronts.

A short time later a helicopter arrived, hovered over the sea and filled a large container with water and flew off to fight the fire.

Before my eyes I was seeing the fulfilment of a verse I had read before my holiday.

“For I will pour water on the thirsty land,” Isaiah 44 v 3

‭‭This verse refers to the promise of God pouring out the Holy Spirit on anyone who is thirsty for the things of God.

All Diseases Healed!

Posted in Healing, My thoughts, Restoration by

The National Heath Service in the United Kingdom is stretched to the limit.  I am so thankful for the great work that is achieved through the NHS for all of us.  Doctors will admit there are many diseases that are not healed.

I was talking to some friends recently.  One lady works in the health service. She was saying that many health care workers are off work with the flu. This leaves hospitals under pressure to facilitate older patients being admitted with flu and other ailments.

Other bad news followed. Some people they knew had cancer or were diagnosed with cancer. I came home depressed. It seemed the only hope sick people have is to take medicine or have an operation. I was sad people don’t know about the healing power of Jesus.

I overheard a couple complaining about the health service. I told them that Jesus heals. One of them said “I would attend his clinic any day!”

I was cheered after reading the following scriptures
from Matthew 4 v 23.
Jesus traveled throughout Galilee teaching in the synagogues. And he healed people who had every kind of sickness and disease. ( Flu or cancer )
News about him spread for beyond the borders of Galilee so that sick were soon coming to be healed. And whatever their illness, (Flu or cancer) or pain, or if they possessed demons, , or were epileptics, or were paralysed, he healed them all.

Jesus told his followers before he ascended into heaven to heal the sick just like he did. This is the mandate for anyone who is a follower of Jesus.

Further in Matthew 8 v 16 I read,
That evening many demon possessed people were brought to Jesus. All of the spirits fled when he commanded them to leave, and he healed all the sick. This fulfilled the word of the Lord through Isaiah, who said, “He took our sicknesses and removed our diseases.”

Imagine, Jesus can lift off from one all disease and distress.   Oh that we had a Jesus Clinic. I can see the advertisement.  “All Diseases Healed Here.”

In Jesus name I lift off all oppression, disease and pain and I give it to Jesus. He will remove it from you. He died on the cross and shed his blood to heal you, to take away all your troubles. He did it all.
