Divine Healing In The New Testament (part 3) – Morning Coffee Lecture.
Practical steps to pursue divine healing
Thanks for being so engaged! So, a few practical steps we can take to pursue divine healing include:
- spending time in prayer and worship,
- Reading the Bible and meditating on its promises,
- Spending time with other believers who can encourage us, and
- Seeking out God’s will for our lives.
- It’s also important to be willing to make changes in our lives, even if they are difficult. This could include things like changing our habits, our attitudes, or even our relationships.
Do you have any thoughts on these practical steps?
I appreciate your interest! Another important aspect of pursuing divine healing is maintaining a positive mindset. Philippians 4:8 says, “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.” This verse reminds us that our thoughts can have a big impact on our lives. If we fill our minds with positive, God-honoring thoughts, it will be easier to receive His healing. What do you think about this?
I’m glad you’re still listening! I’d like to talk about another practical step that can help us pursue divine healing: making sure we are living in obedience to God’s Word. John 15:10 says, “If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love.”
When we are walking in obedience to God, we are in a better position to receive His healing. It’s not that we have to be perfect in order to receive healing, but we do need to be making an effort to follow God’s commands.
Another practical step we can take is to ask for prayer from others. James 5:16 says, “Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed.”
It can be difficult to ask for help, but God has given us a body of believers who can support us and lift us up in prayer. When we ask for prayer, it’s important to be specific about what we are asking for. Have you ever asked for prayer from others?
That’s great! One more practical step I’d like to share is finding ways to serve others. 1 Peter 4:10 says, “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.”
When we serve others, we are not only blessing them, but we are also opening ourselves up to receive God’s blessing. It’s not always easy to serve others, but it’s worth it because of the rewards that come with it. Do you have any thoughts on serving others?
Glad to hear it! Serving others can take many forms, but one way to do it is through acts of kindness. Galatians 5:13 says, “Through love serve one another.” Kindness is an important fruit of the Spirit, and it can have a big impact on those around us. Small acts of kindness, like a smile or a word of encouragement, can make a big difference.
